Amarillo’s Pony Express Burrito Debuts New Sign—Will Mural Return?

As the ever-changing scenic view around Amarillo keeps us on our toes, we notice how things come and go. It was not that long ago that we lost the Pizzeria Nomad near 34th and Georgia.

It wasn't long before we found out about the new place taking over. No, it will not be another pizza location. Which is probably good with the number of places that served pizza and also failed in that location.

No, we were getting a successful burrito place. One that is heading to Amarillo after their success in Canyon. When I chatted with owner Noe Trejo, he told me that the first step was to get a banner put up until he could get more permanent signage.

That banner is now up. So the process has started and it will only be a matter of time utill Pony Express makes its stop in Amarillo and they officially open. The one thing that was noticed, and not just by me, is the missing mural from when Pizzeria Nomad closed.

Will the Bright Colors Come Back to this Empty Wall in Amarillo?

Of course, it had to go, it was a mural advertising their business. It included the name Pizzeria Nomad and had pizza toppings. It was not surprising that it had to go. What a lot of people are wondering and hoping is that a new mural will be added at some point.

We know there are more important things, like getting the new business open. With the fact that murals are popping up all over Amarillo, that is one blank space just needing something.

Here is to hoping that someone sees this and offers to put their artwork and a splash of color right there. I know that people driving by and stopping to eat would love to have some bright colors back.
