It was an epic evening at Lula Cocina Mexicana on Main St. in Santa Monica.
The Nov. 1 Day of the Dead Fiesta included: A live mariachi band, custom Lula crafted spicy margaritas, (the Spicy Frida and the Blue Diego sponsored by Casa Amigos), killer food, great vibes, and the unveiling of brand new Frida Kahlo & Diego Rivera mural by local artist Jules Muck. And, to level everything up, @venicepaparazzi brought our cameras and world famous, super fun, Boomerang Photo Booth, to capture the magic.
