In a quaint corner of the Thorndyke Plaza at 2818 Thorndyke Ave. W., Rene Julio was putting the final touches on the Aztecan/Mayan mythological mural that will grace the interior wall of Magnolia’s newest restaurant: Josefina Mexican Grill.

Julio, who is a painter by trade, said he would be finished with the mural in a week or two and that the restaurant would likely open in three weeks time. Construction crews were still at work on electrical system, kitchen and dining area. More details to come.
