Vintage item from Tortilla Flat Saloon, the historic restaurant and saloon located along the Apache Trail in Arizona. Tortilla Flat opened in 1904 as a stagecoach stop and mining camp stopover and has remained a destination for travelers for well over a century. The restaurant is best known historically for Mexican and Southwestern food, tied to the region’s Mexican and mining heritage, long before it became a modern tourist stop.

The reference to $1.40 margaritas reflects pricing from an earlier era, most likely the 1970s, when margaritas at roadside Arizona destinations were still inexpensive and served primarily to travelers and locals. This date is an estimate based on typical drink prices of the time, not a guaranteed year. 1976? Notation in bottom left corner says L 16-4/76.
