An Interview With Maria's Cantina Chef Maritza Salazar

March 18, 2021
How long have you worked for Maria's Cantina and what was your work experience prior to Maria's? I Studied and received my degree in Gastronomy at the International Gastronomic College in the City of Guadalajara, Jalisco. Mexico. I did my professional internship for 6 months at Atelier Belge in Madrid Spain. I have been at Maria's Cantina for close to 4 years. What is your favorite aspect of working at Maria's Cantina? My favorite aspect about working at Maria's is being able to always give my best in each dish made. It is made with love for each of our guests. As Sous Chef, what is your approach to developing Maria's menu items and specials? I like to create the menu according to new trends, seasons and always improving to achieve excellence. Without neglecting our bases. Is there a Maria's dish you are most proud of developing or preparing and why? I really like the preparation of dishes based on traditional Mexican cuisine. What Maria's signature menu item do you most recommend? I recommend all of our seafood items. The flavors and presentation are always fresh and clean.  What are some of your most memorable food experiences and how have they translated into your inspiration for Maria's menus? My passion for cooking began at 10 when I cooked breakfast for my family, although it was something basic like Mexican eggs, I gradually developed my seasoning. My study at the gastronomy school and my stay in Spain gave way to cooking in a professional way with great knowledge that I have undoubtedly applied in every moment of my stay at Maria's.
