El Huarache Azteca - Painting of Xochipilli

 
The Aztec theme of El Huarache Azteca extends onto the exterior of this local favorite. It's interesting to see the historical stone statue form of Aztec art translated into modern language with spray paint. The yellow and red paint on the walls gives the building a temple-like image, which is different from anything else on York Blvd.
