4 months agoEl Viejo's Modern Take on Central American Cooking
Not many Central American lunch spots in Maryland have their own mascot. But at El Viejo Central American Kitchen, the door, walls, and menus are decorated with images of the eponymous Viejo: a mustachioed, cap-wearing skeleton who looks like something Mexican illustrator José Guadalupe Posada might draw if he were commissioned by a baseball team. "El Viejo" (or "the old man") is the work of Henry Blanco, who graduated from the University of Maryland with an art degree.
