Dr. Simi is our favorite neighborhood character. He will give you a check-up for $2.50, he will sell you medicine and vitamins, and most importantly, he will dance for you.

Dr. Simi is the mascot for a very popular pharmacy here in Mexico, “Farmacias Similares.” I’ve heard that his character is based roughly on the founder of the pharmacy. If you’re in Mexico, you might catch a glimpse of Dr. Simi standing outside of one of his stores and dancing, and on special occasions, he’ll be dancing with his “Simi Girls.”

Here is one of the You-Tube videos I found of Dr. Simi dancing. He’s pretty talented!
