The Tacos Aztecas in Santa Fe Springs features a marquee with a large rounded arrow pointing the way into the eating area. This place is open 25 hours a day. And yes, you are now entering the Twilight Zone.

Though these signs may still be somewhat common, it's a good example of the eye catching signage that helped business survive through the years.

This neon sign for La Tolteca features a tamale creatively places in the midst of a sign arrow. The neon still is in great condition.

La Tolteca Mexican Foods started its business making corn tortillas in 1948. In 1967, the restaurant opened up on Azusa Ave. Fortunately, the sign was kept and moved along with the business when Tolteca moved up along Azusa Ave several years ago. 09-10
