Taco Beach takes a tacky turn

Los Altos Taco Beach takes a tacky turn with rock bound surfer mural and becomes “Tacky Beach”

The Los Altos Center Adjacent Neighborhoods were hopeful when Taco Beach owner Kevan Vance made good on his promise to upgrade the outside of the former Best Place Café.

New lighting, a rebuilt and refurbished patio, and muted brown color scheme seemed to go well with the overall neighborhood and upscale businesses and adjacient revamped medical building.

While the neighborhood was still worried about what a Taco Beach Taco Tuesday might bring, they had no idea that Thursday May 9^th would turn out to be Tacky Thursday.

On that day, Taco Beach took a turn towards tackiness with a brown on brown over 6 foot high pointillism “painting” of a lone surfer on a pile of rocks stuck on the Bellflower Blvd. corner of the Abbeyfield Street façade of the Taco Beach building.  This is no Vincent van Gogh (who’s 1897 self-portrait done in pointillism is considered a masterpiece) but a tacky mural that is now the welcoming fixture to our neighborhood.

The only question now is…how many more tacky Taco Beach murals will adore the once promising looking building?

Not even open and the Los Altos Taco Beach now has a nick-name- Tacky Beach.
