This was forwarded to me from a friend who teaches Spanish. I haven't been to the restaurant yet, but I thought you might be interested:
I think that you would love this restaurant...it is one of my favorites! The owner's name is Maria. She is from El Salvador. Her story is amazing. She lived there during the time of the Civil war and left because it was so bad. I totally recommend her restaurant. It is like a mom and pop's kind of place. She owns it and makes the food all by herself. It is a one woman show. But lately she hasn't been getting business. I went there yesterday with a friend and was her first customer for 2 days...she was on the verge to cry...poor thing...She is a sweetie.....If you can pass this email along...:) gracias...

La Casa Tazumal
3260 W. 105th St.

If you ever want to stop by I know that she would appreciate the business...She also does carry out...She sells....
