This neon sign for La Tolteca features a tamale creatively places in the midst of a sign arrow. The neon still is in great condition.

La Tolteca Mexican Foods started its business making corn tortillas in 1948. In 1967, the restaurant opened up on Azusa Ave. Fortunately, the sign was kept and moved along with the business when Tolteca moved up along Azusa Ave several years ago. 09-10
