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.

Check out Romero's Restaurant if you're hungry for a good Mexican food meal. The sign outside is classic in its own right too.

 

UPDATE : Romero's has been replaced by a new business called Josie's. Fortunately, Josie's reused the sign and just changed the name.
