El Tiki Mug
in 1 collection
This mug is based on the menu art from the now defunct El Tiki in Imperial, CA. This place was a fusion of Mexican and Tiki, hence the sombrero. It was open from about 1962-1978. MadDogMike worked there around 1975 and was later inspired to make this mug based on his memories of the restaurant. Made in assorted glaze colors.
