La Chaiteria, Part I

La Chaiteria is a vegan restaurant at 1002 W. Congress St.

Photographed the four murals on its east wall on Mar. 23, 2020.

A fifth mural was added later and photographed by Jerry Peek on July 7, 2020.

Next time: the south wall.

Update (May 17, 2024): The top of the wall has a big sign that says La Chaiteria is a Latin restaurant and tumerico (which shares the space) is a plant-based kitchen. Today's post Congress mural parade 3 of 3: 1002 W. Congress shows that and several murals inside.
