The Salsa Grill

One of my favorite places to eat is The Salsa Grill in Woodlawn. From the outside it doesn't look like much but from the time you sit down you'll realize just how different this restaurant is. The Salsa Grill is a Peruvian restaurant. It's located at 6644 Security Blvd., in a small strip center with an A.J. Wright store and H & R Block as well as several other stores and restaurants.

Everything I've eaten there is fantastic. My favorite is Carne Azada. The steak is cooked to perfection (I like mine rare) and it melts in your mouth. It comes served with rice, stuffed baked potatoes and sauteed vegetables. But, today I was there fore lunch and had Beef Empanadas with Caesar Salad. The beef was seasoned perfectly and the Caesar Salad phenomenal. I don't like Caesar Salad anywhere else. Skip had a cheese steak sandwich with fries.

The restaurant is small and quaint inside. They do not have a liquor license but you can BYOB.

The owner and chef, Jay, hand picks his steaks daily and they often run out if it's a busy day. If you can't get the Carne Azada then the Carribean Paella is also phenomenol. Everything on the menu is made on site, including the desserts.

The staff are always pleasant, service is fast and the food hot.

Be sure to go hungry. You won't be disappointed.

Do you live in the Central Maryland area and have ever been at a loss of where to take your young child?

If, like me till just recently, you have never heard of Storyville, then you will appreciate how this is the best kept secret in the area. 

"Storyville is an interactive early literacy learning center designed specifically for children ages birth to fiveand their caregivers. Located in the Rosedale and Woodlawn branches of the Baltimore County Public Library, the child-sized villages include developmentally appropriate books and activities for children ages birth to five. The environments and activities in Storyville are specifically designed for caregivers to help their young children enter school ready to learn."

I have a four year old son who has now decided that Storyville is his new favorite place to go. The miniature village at Woodlawn has so many different activities, there is a grocery store, a post office complete with mail that can be delivered to the other locations, a library, a two level house with a fully stocked kitchen and a laundry area, there is a tram and a tree house surrounded by nature. There is also a baby only area with stimulating toys for infants.

Here is a video of our excursion on a snowy January day to Storyville in Woodlawn.
