Very nice decor and I love Mexican food. Great job of capturing the decor.
Interesting. But would I trust the food in a restaurant focused on the Day of the Dead?
Looks like a great place to share a meal. Lovely photographs too.

Great decor and excellent set Brian.
Great decor, do they serve Mexican or TexMex?

authentic Mexican and it is delicious!
Very enjoyable set! What a festive, creative setting, so well documented with a cell phone under indoor lighting conditions!
The amount of work involved in painting is really impressive. Every flat surface. except floors and ceiling, were decorated. Even the leather backs of seats were painted. I couldn't tell if the Mexican tiles were real or faux.
The theme seems to be Day of the Dead, done in a happy, whimsical style. I didn't find skeltons off-putting; they seemed to be telling us not to worry, the afterlife is filled with fun and tequila. I liked the figure with a metal detectorI examining the agave (tequila) plant, and the list of treasures (tequilas) on the right. A commentary about commercialism invading the realm of the sacred and mystic?
A tiny nit: the painter reversed the two ?s surrounding "Que Pasa"...only the first one should be inverted. I'm sure the first patrons told the owners. This shouldn't detract from the overall effort. Looks like a great spot for a fun Mexican meal.
Thanks for this

My pleasure. All the artwork was imported from Mexico. The meal was excellent!
Holy cow, has any of you noticed the recurring imagery of death throughout the entire restaurant. Every booth table has a dead body clothed and decayed to skeleton form neatly layed out lol, you people have a weird sense of decor. Not to mention countless skulls 💀 on every surface. Lol maybe El Chapo owns it.
Yes well done pointing and shooting with your phone, congratulations. Lo

It's Day of the Dead theme. Big in Mexico, nothing to worry about.
Nice shots and it appears that the theme of that restaurant is "The Day of the Dead". That is a big celebration in Mexico and I believe it's in September but I'm not sure about that.
