Comino/cumin and Mexican oregano have virtually nothing in
common.  Mexican oregano and marjoram are similar however
I don't think there is anything that tastes quite like cumin.  I've
never seen it in any form other than seed and ground seed and
Mexican oregano is usually sold in crushed leaf or powdered
leaf form.  About the only similarity I can think of is that they
are both frequently used in Mexican cooking but the flavors and
the form that they come in are completely different.
