You can find information on Tios Tacos on Roadside America, Roadtripper, Yelp local TV stations etc.... The first time I was there was probably 12 years or so ago when Karen was in Cleveland. Martin Sanchez started with a Mexican restaurant and started adding folk art sculptures. There is a chapel made out of beer bottles, the night security lighting has been turned into sculptures watching over the gardens.

According to Roadside America Sanchez said " I built my dream". It is being compared to Watt's Towers in Los Angeles and every time we go there is more artwork. On the roof of the buildings, in the cement on the ground, on vehicles and light poles. We have been to many of the folk art displays across the country from the late Leonard Knights Salvation Mountain to Hamtramck Disneyland in Detroit to Watts Tower  and look forward to discovering more. We just love seeing people follow and build their dreams.
