English term or phrase: We Carry Cult and Mexi-Monsters!
"The grimy front window held posters of Vin Diesel and Jet Li movies, cascaded over a decade of teen romantic comedies. There were also sun-leached black and white headshots of fading action stars: Jean Claude Van Damme, Steven Seagal, Jackie Chan. One corner of the window bore a sign proclaiming We Carry Cult and Mexi-Monsters!"

No entiendo la última frase "We Carry Cult and Mexi-Monsters!" ¿Me podéis iluminar?
