Mosaic Domes at Tio's Tacos

Within the grounds of Tio's Tacos restaurant (3948 Mission Inn Avenue, Riverside) are two mosaic-covered domes, most likely done by Martin Sanchez, the restaurant owner and resident artist.  One dome bears religious symbols and the other Riverside's symbols of a raincross and possibly an orange.  Both bear some resemblance to the dome on the nearby Mission Inn (shown below). I might mention that there are quite a few domed buildings in downtown Riverside as shown in one of my Instagram posts.  [This post was updated on 4-24-24 to include a second dome that was noticed on a recent bike ride downtown.]
