RESTAURANTS
These curious, conical-shaped, outdoor ovens used
in the Southwest by the Indians and many of the
Mexicans, were probably borrowed from the Spaniards.
They are built of brush, plastered over inside and
out with thick coatings of adobe mud, and last,
with the constant repairs made them, almost
indefinitely. They are built outdoors for several
reasons, the main one being to do away with the
heat resulting during the warm weather.
