Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

Colorful and funky murals throughout Southern California decorate many Mexican markets, restaurants, and taco trucks. As this site lovingly documents, these vibrant works of art sit squarely at the delicious intersection of folk art and food. Tony Mora stakes out L.A.-area carnicerias and lets his pictures of these "surreal and fanciful" paintings do the talking. Stop by and see cows grazing in a grass of fluorescent green or a mermaid awash in shrimp cocktail and octopus. Certain recurring themes make appearances, including La Virgin de Guadalupe, plump pigs, and abundant plates of food. Even if you're not a fan of Mexican food (blaspheme!), you'll enjoy the rich colors and outlandish themes of these marvelous murals.
