The El Patio restaurant features some real authentic mexican food. Unfortunately this place may be on its last legs.

Here's a look at a couple of the marquees that adorn this vintage Mexican food restaurant in Azusa.

Update 01/04 : The El Patio no longer exists and is now home to Canyon City BBQ. It closed its doors this summer (2003). Many thanks to Joseph Tessier for update. 01-04

Here's an old 60's or 70's sign for Ernie's Mexican Restaurant. Check out the lantern on top of the marquee, quite typical for signage from this era.

King Taco is always a good stop, whether for a scheduled meal or just a snack.

Well, the business name says Puerto Vallarta, though the restaurant marquee doesn't necessarily hint of its namesake.

Restaurant marquees in the shape of sombreros are always fun. Check out this floating marquee for Gay and Larry's here.

 


El Gordo (Demolished)

The El Gordo Restaurant marquee features a sombrero as part of its sign. Can't get much more authentic than this.

Update 01/02 : Unfortunately the bulldozers got to this place just after the start of the new year. 01-02

El Gordo neon sign on top of roof. This sign was fortunately acquired by the Museum of Neon Art prior to destruction.
