Tacos Tacos y Antojitos Mural

My wife and I tried out Tacos Tacos y Antojitos (6461 Brockton Ave, Riverside, CA), a new (to us) casual  Mexican restaurant, and I was pleasantly surprised to see a mural on one of its interior walls.  The mural is signed but it is hard to read. It looks like Easasi Setruel.
