A little taste of Guanajuato at El Campo's in Ada

Posted by Fred Steiner on Sunday, March 8, 2015

Enrique Cabrera, owner of El Campo, describes one of the murals he painted at his restaurant on Main Street.

The scene includes the church in his hometown of Guanajuato, Mexico. He liked to draw, so thought he'd try his hand at murals. Since he opened the Ada business here seven years ago, he has now painted murals on all of the walls.
