El Jacalito

The mural on the side of this restaurant is as classic as the restaurant. Set in a gritty industrial area, this mural evokes an older idealized version of the Mexican countryside. The face of the female figure is very detailed, perhaps reflecting the visage of someone the artist knew. The other figures are not as detailed as they go about customary peasant tasks. The colors are fading, but they are still very beautiful. In fact, the muted colors are even more Inviting to join in the pastoral scene.
