“ I recently visited Salsas and had a fantastic time. The food was great, and the friendly staff made the experience even better. The atmosphere was really nice and added to the overall enjoyment. We had the chile rellenos and tacos, and both were delicious. I highly recommend Salsas for anyone looking for a good meal in a welcoming environment. ”
“ A+++ Amazing! Don't miss it! Family run for 27+yrs, according to Moses. He swears his Aunt's FLAN is the best ever AND HE IS RIGHT! Fresh made and delicious. Really great value-for-dollar and better than ANY chain drive through so don't miss it. ”
“ Visited this restaurant a couple months ago, and it was pretty good. Food was in huge portions. We had the Shrimp Octopus Lorenzas specialty tacos, there were loaded with fresh shrimp and octopus and well seasoned. Really like the Carne En Su Jugo, very savory and spicy. Also ordered the Chamorro Adobo, the pork shank was huge, but not sure if not marinated good enough that can still taste the gamey flavor of it. ”
“ I always see lots of people in this place every time I drive past it, so I figured it was time for me to stop by and give it a try! It was clean, the service was extremely friendly, and overall I had a good experience. There are a lot of options, the menu is huge. I didn't think there was anything particularly bad about the food that I had, but my personal tastes are such that I didn't really enjoy it all that much. The presentations were great, but, at least to my palate, the flavors left something to be desired. However, I think my opinion is likely in the minority because, as I mentioned, there are people here all the time! I suspect that most people will like the place, and it is probably worth a try if you've never gone here. Note that it is definitely not inexpensive though - two people with an appetizer, a glass of water, and a glass of iced tea, cost us over $70 after tax and tip. ”
“ This is one of my favorite places for Mexican food. Very generous portions and good pricing. The food is delicious and flavors are consistent. So far I just had one dish I didn’t particularly like but, other than that, we are always happy with our meals. Plenty of options for everyone! Go get yourself some Salsas!! ”
