Mex-o-TIKI??
One of my earliest Tiki? influences. More PC to say 'Exotica' influences. Los Olivos Restaurant in Old-Scottsdale. In the mid seventies through eighties it was painted a bright 'Mediterranean' White. With giant colorful organic windows/skylights. And a giant Tiki??? well, i giant olive oil pitcher perhaps???
Anyway I took my parents there this year, haven't been there since the mid 80's... still THERE! now next to the Scottsdale-MOMA? and one of those places that when the Mexican lady tells you "be careful the plates are hot", and you touch the plate, you get three degree burns on your fingers... YUM!!
i think i saw this guy when i was three (place touts it's been around more then 50 years), but i loved going to this place because of this giant thing on the roof!!
Viva La TIKI! I'Eeeeeeeeeeeeeee!Ha!
