Chikis Tacos

A monochrome print in muted grey-green tones shows a busy taco stand with a brick wall reading "CHIKIS TACOS ESTILO D.F." and a hand-lettered menu board listing tacos at $1.50 (asada, al pastor, lengua, chorizo). Behind the counter four vendors in aprons prepare and serve food under strings of round lights, while in front of the stand a varied crowd gathers in profile and three-quarter view: a mermaid, a horned devil-like figure, a woman in a shawl, a spotted clown or jaguar-masked figure, two skeletons in a sombrero and ragged clothes, a small child, and a bearded man on a phone. The dense, patterned composition and the artist's inscription "AP," signature, and "2021" date appear in the lower margins, consistent with the etching and aquatint medium.
