Still Raindrop Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Castilla Amarilla is Rossville's most popular Mexican restaurant--once you've tried their burritos, there's no turning back! Here are a few exterior shots: Here you can see the kitchen/service area. Burrito artisan Juan Mora is busy wrapping a burrito for hungry customers while the chef cooks more meat. Customers can make special orders or just use the menu on the wall. A father takes his son out for a celebratory meal after the son's little league team won a game. The kid is proudly grasping his trophy. Behind them is the soda fountain, as well as extra hot sauce in bottles and packets. Overall interior view: I had wanted to include things like a dish pit and restrooms for a more realistic restaurant feel, but I wanted a one-story restaurant, and I decided to focus on the actual restaurant part of the interior. Maybe one day I'll make it taller and have the eating area be on the top floor, but for now it's complete. I'd appreciate comments and thoughts, if you have any to share. Thanks for looking! Quote
lightningtiger Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Very nice outside, but inside......AWESOME, it totally has that Mexican restaurant feel to it (I like the simple soft drink machine ) and the green seating also a huge ! Keep them comming 'Mariko', I'll now wait for the ice cream shop posting eh ? Brick On ! Quote
LEGO Guy Bri Posted June 27, 2011 Posted June 27, 2011 Awesome restaurant 'Mariko'. You definitely nailed the Mexican theme in and out. The inside is the real eye catcher, it reminds me of a restaurant here in Chas. WV. that also has red floors and green wooden benches and tables Great job Quote
LegoCityMann Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Great MOC. Rossville is coming along very nicely. ~LCM Quote
XimenaPaulina Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Very Mexican-looking establishment indeed! The color scheme and details are spot-on, well done! Quote
streifen Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 i thought the sauce dispenser looks great as well as the fiery sauce sachets next to it! tortillas for lunch later? Quote
Gregorovich Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Good work, Mariko! It looks great both on the inside on the outside. I love all the details. Well done, and thanks for sharing! Quote
tafkatb Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 This is absolutely gorgeous! I especially love the use of vigas and rotated blue squares on the exterior - little details like that make it feel like a real Mexican restaurant. Maybe you could hang the Maraca Man's sombrero and poncho on the interior wall as decoration? Quote
KyleJohnson11 Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 I love the way you designed it! It reminds me of many of the Mexican Restaurants in San Diego. I love the detail with the brown going around the top of the building. Quote
Pazoozoo Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 give me 2 tacos and 2 burritos et 1 casadia please :) Quote
Tamamono Posted June 28, 2011 Posted June 28, 2011 Mmm... Mexican Food! Great restaurant, Mariko! I love the roof and the overall architecture of the exterior, and the interior is full of yummy details! The selection of fillings for burritos is very innovative, and the wrapped up burrito is ingenious! I look forward to more of your amazing buildings! Quote
tafkatb Posted June 29, 2011 Posted June 29, 2011 Oh and one other thing: I also really love the patch of wet cement along the side - very nice "slice of life" detailing. And the name of the restaurant isn't lost on me. Quote
Still Raindrop Posted July 6, 2011 Author Posted July 6, 2011 Thanks, everyone! I'm still fine-tuning the red roof on the little tower; I want to make it out of the 1x1 cylinder pieces, but am having trouble making everything fit together and still look nice. Anyone have any suggestions? I think it's kind of funny how some of the things that people commented on were actually driven by necessity . I chose the color scheme, for example, because I had a large number of yellow bricks and wanted to make a building that could conceivably use that much yellow (the red tiled floor was due to a lucky buy at a pick-a-brick last year--they had red 2x2 tiles, and I just couldn't pass the opportunity up, even though I didn't have any use for them at that point). As for the wet cement, well, I ran out of light grey 2x2 tiles, but didn't want to leave the baseplate exposed . I'm glad someone understood why I chose that particular name for the restaurant, too.

LEGO Train 12 Volts Posted July 6, 2011 Posted July 6, 2011 Another beautiful MOC! I like the perfect colors ...the mimo is lovely! Quote
22kane Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 Ok, this is one of the coolest MOC buildings I have seen in a while. This is certainly not the normal town building that blends in. What a great piece! Not only is the exterior very eye catching but the interior is perfect. I would love to own something like this. Outstanding!! Quote
jonwil Posted July 27, 2011 Posted July 27, 2011 WOW, this really makes me feel like some Nachos right now. Quote
Still Raindrop Posted July 27, 2011 Author Posted July 27, 2011 Thanks! I changed the top part--more pictures later (but for now you can see what it looks like in the main Rossville topic) Quote
