There are, in fact, many similar words because of both languages' roots in Latin, but the pronunciation (pronunciacion) is different.
Spanish is generally much more phonetic: the letters mostly have only one sound, and a word is the composite of its letters. Thus 'dormitorio' is pronounced 'dorr-mee-tOrr-ee-aw', whereas 'dormitory' is pronounced 'dAWmitri'.

How many English words have a Mexican origin?
Probably quite a few, although I don't know that anyone has counted. There may be fewer than you think; there are many English words that originate with Spanish and not necessarily Mexican culture, and there are many English words that share Latin and other roots with Spanish words, not necessarily implying that English got them from Spanish/Mexican. Without a doubt, English is one of the more flexible world languages. We borrow and adapt many words from many languages and cultures-- probably more than any other language. In fact, some have suggested that English is really a form of Creole. I'm rather fond of that appellation [from Latin, and related to the French for name].
