LA CITA MEXICAN RESTAURANT 12” X 16” oil on masonite board original painting and wall art. 2024. Inspired by La Cita’s very own iconic souvenir picture post card, which was sold to visitors and tourists alike back in the heyday of Route 66. After WWII, many a westbound motorist had their first taste of authentic Mexican food at La Cita Mexican Restaurant in Tucumcari, New Mexico. How could they resist? Even in a town full of historic Route 66 neon lit motels, restaurants, roadside cafes and gas stations, many with their own unique, iconic, one-of-a-kind architecture, like The Blue Swallow Motel, Tee Pee Curios (the name says it all) and the Palomino Motel: La Cita still stood out! What other restaurant has a glowing neon-lit sombrero shaped entrance. Even on Route 66. And what was the food like behind those turquoise green stucco walls? Authentic tacos, tamales, scrambled chorizo and French toast for breakfast, the New Mexico Philly Cheese Steak. Red hatch chiles. Green Hatch chilies. Made me so hungry I put on ten pounds when I painted it.
