The Story Behind Our Mural at Roja & Verde Taqueria

At Roja & Verde Taqueria, we believe that great Mexican street food deserves an equally great atmosphere. As you step inside our taqueria, one of the first things you’ll notice is the vibrant mural stretching across our wall. This stunning mural, created by local artist Kent Kretch, brings warmth, creativity, and a touch of the desert right into our dining area.


A Sunset in the Desert

Our unique mural depicts a mesmerizing desert sunset, a scene that evokes the beauty and tranquility of the Southwestern landscape. The sky transitions through an array of colors—from deep oranges and pinks to cool purples and blues—creating a captivating backdrop for the mountains and cacti that stand in the foreground.


Hidden Delight in the Sky

Look closely at the mural and you'll find a delightful surprise: various food items cleverly written in the clouds. This playful element ties our mural to our culinary offerings, creating a visual feast that complements the delicious dishes we serve. It's a fun detail that makes this mural a one-of-a-kind.


Craftsmanship & Dedication

Kent Kretch’s dedication to his craft is evident in every brushstroke. The mural, entirely hand-painted, took about two weeks to complete. Watching the mural come to life was an inspiring experience, with Kent’s talent & passion shining through in every detail. You can see more of Kent’s talents displayed in local shops around Delaware.


Setting the Tone

The mural at Roja & Verde Taqueria isn't just decoration; it's a key part of our ambiance. As soon as you step inside, you're greeted by this breathtaking scene, setting the tone for a warm and welcoming dining experience. It's an integral part of what makes our taqueria special and why customers are drawn to us.
