Australian Spanish

So with working at a Tex-Mex restaurant I have developed a surprising skill that I wouldn't have imagined - that is to understand Australian "Spanish". Before I elaborate let me just highlight the fact that Mexican food is not big here, so I often have people coming in who have no clue what the food is on the menu.

Now with that said, I have heard some really odd pronunciations of standard Mexican names. Here are some spelled out versions of what I've heard...

For fajitas (normally pronounced fa-hee-tas), I get...
fa-gee-tas
fa-gi-tas

For quittos (normally pronounced kee-tos), I get..
quit-os
qoo-tos

The pronunciations are compounded by weird rhythms and speech patters... luckily people usually respond well to my repeating the correct pronunciation, but there are definitely some Napoleon Dynamite moments. :)
