This church is in Paraiso, Tabasco, Mexico, a small, hot, and humid city on the Gulf (or is it just Caribbean?) Coast of Mexico. I especially like its colorful design. I know the picture isn't the best (as it was taken at night), but it should be enough to identify the architectural style. I saw another church very much like this one in Sarcero, Costa Rica.

The architecture is Spanish Colonial or Spanish Mission. The color scheme is anyones guess, it reminds me of Saint Basil's Cathedral in Russia.

I see an Eastern Moorish influence.

I agree , and it makes sense since there is some of this influence in Spain (Alhambra palace and gardens etc.)
