Fodor's Expert Review Toppenish

This small, friendly town a few miles from Zillah is worth a stop for its more than 80 colorful murals adorning the facades and exterior walls. Commissioned since 1989 by the Toppenish Mural Association and done in a variety of styles by regional artists, they commemorate the town's history and Western spirit. The town lies within the nearly 2,200-square-mile Yakama Reservation and is home to a number of affordable, family-run Mexican restaurants—more than 80% of its 8,800 residents identify as Hispanic or Latino.
