We went and met Hugo who is a very nice man, unfortunately, he did not have many paintings for sale. He is going to send us photos as they become
available. Maybe next time.

Anyone have any new photos of Hugo's paintings? Is he showing anything new at his Tacos Misi�n restaurant in El Rosario?

but his artistic talents are amazing! |
I had exactly the same experience. I will never set foot in that place again.

I hope Bajaboy has a recent comment, as I have never had a negative experience... but Hugo was always there when I stopped. Bajaboy is a far more
regular customer of Tacos Misi�n than I. Hugo now also operates the emergency ambulance service set up by 'BajaCactus', so maybe he is not enforcing
friendly service at the caf�? Bummer Marc, I am sorry that happened. It is not Hugo's way at all.

Here's an update from our last trip through El Rosario, July 10, 2016...
Hugo is no longer painting!!! Bummer.
Also, Hugo is not with the Desert Hawks Emergency Service anymore.
Sad that some things don't last...
Hugo Lopez' art was always very enjoyable to see. I am happy that Baja Angel and I each bought one of his paintings to display here at home.
We did not stay long enough to have a meal at Tacos la Mision this last trip, so no report on that.
