On the side of El Trigo Restaurant (4155 Park Ave., Riverside) is a dramatic mural featuring a Latina woman among sheaves of wheat and floral embroidery. The unsigned mural was painted by Rosy Cortez (@paintedrosy) in collaboration with Juan Navarro (@luvmonsterz). This is part of the remarkable Park Avenue Revitalization Project. It was briefly described in a Press Enterprise article by Frances J. Vasquez saying The mural "was painted by portrait artist Rosana Cortez with Navarro’s help. It showcases the artistry of Mexican floral embroidery and the visage of a beautiful Latina with a red rose in her hair — framed with wheat sprigs and illuminated by a brilliant moon."
