Mamita

condiment for eggs and salads, salsa lovers will find a way to incorporate their favorite tomato condiment into any food they choose. My family loves salsa to add to chips, chimichengas and our weekly dinner of taco salad. I recently gave Casa Mamita Medium Salsa a try to see if this inexpensive jarred salsa would please us and add flavor to our favorite Mexican dishes.

Casa Mamita Medium Salsa is available in a twenty four ounce jar for only $1.99. I found this to be a very good price, as comparable products cost upwards of two and three dollars for the same sized container. Casa Mamita Medium Salsa is packaged in a glass jar that shows appetizing pictures of tomatoes, onions and green peppers. The colors of the label are yellow and orange which give the consumer a feeling that this product will provide a tasty treat of spice and zip that salsa lovers enjoy in their favorite condiment.

Casa Mamita Medium Salsa contains only ten calories in each serving. There is approximately twenty two servings in each jar, which is a terrific bargain. Each serving contains only ten calories with zero Fat and zero Cholesterol. There is two grams of Sugar in each serving as well as four percent of the daily recommended value of Vitamin A, two percent of Iron and two grams of Sugar. Those watching their Sodium intake will be interested to know that one two tablespoon serving of Casa Mamita Medium Salsa contains one hundred and seventy calories of Sodium which represents seven percent of the daily recommended intake.

This tiny establishment on Glendale's auto row, sporting red tablecloths and Peruvian folk art on white stucco walls, is a neighborhood gem worth discovering (even if you do not happen to live in Glendale). When you've had enough Italian trattorias and Chinese takeout, you may find that Mamita's is a good introduction to one of the New World's most fascinating cuisines.

The item that you should order here is the papas a la huancaina, a signature Peruvian dish made with boiled potatoes topped with a creamy chili-inflected cheese sauce. Although there are many minor variations of this simple dish, Mamita's offers one of the best renditions around. You could make a meal of this specialty alone. However, the citrus-marinated shrimp, squid and octopus, fried fish in teriyaki sauce (reflecting a substantial Japanese presence in Peru), fried chicken, shrimp and peanuts in hot red sauce, and breaded steak are all worthy complements to the prized dish of spuds.
