La Casa Maria
While driving by, what struck me about La Casa Maria on El Cajon Boulevard was that they offer both Mexican and Salvadorian food. I was interested in tasting some traditional Salvadorian dishes. The menu had a page of Salvadorian foods like pupusas, plantains, and pastelitos. The above is called pollo guisado which is chicken stewed in a tomato based sauce. The flavors were very different from the Mexican food I've had. One nice thing about this restaurant is the friendly family atmosphere. The owner, Maria, was our waitress and it felt like we were guests in her home. P.S.: Happy Birthday to my friend Jaine!

happy birthday Jaine.
Thanks for stopping by Jazzy & Stu! Stu, I have yet to check out the Morroccan place but I did skim the review. I see you have 1st hand experience ;) so once I've sampled the food we can compare notes.
this looks kind of HK style to me, looks yummy all the same :-)
cela donne envie....Hummm
that gives desire….Hummm
Did you try pupusas? I had them in El Salvador, but don't recall too much about them, other than I thought they were tasty.
Mmmmm, felicia ! On of the best things about Mexican food in California, for me, is the margaritas! Cheers!
Love your photos. I feel like I'm back in SD just looking at them, and not all the way down in Oz. This makes me miss La Casa Maria (and mexican food in general), their food always seemed fantastic after a long day of finals at SDSU.
Thanks Lisi & Olivier. Kate, I didn't try the pupusas but I was eating one of the left over fish tacos the next day someone thought it was a pupusa! Sally, I like mine on the rocks with salt, how about you? Jac, I'm glad that you know the place!And happy to bring back good memories too.
