In this corner, wrestlers named after fried plaintains

Now we love Cafe Habana as much as the next guy: great neighborhood spot, known celeb favorite, tasty though somewhat pricey Cuban food. But their lucha libre mural? Dicey. Up for about a month now, the above painted characters have graced Habana's windows and are named after menu items: Tio Tostone, Senor Elote, El Diablo. We'll give them points for mixing things up a bit and for creativity, but in the end it's a tad too cutesy and somewhat reminiscent of fast food restaurant gimmicks.
