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.

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.

We had the botana mixta ceviche and it was amazing!! The flavor was perfectly balanced with the lime and the octopus was very soft and not chewy! I split the plate with my friend and we were full! Will def return!

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!!

Excellent Mexican fare with a vast selection of choices. Authentic offerings in meals, beverages and desserts. Friendly and helpful service. Indoor and outdoor seating. Can fill up quickly at busy times and holidays. Plenty of parking on site. Get takeout if crowded, food will not let you down. Reasonable prices as well.

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.

We were in the area and decided to stop here. It's a bit of a small restaurant. You had to walk by the kitchen to go to the restroom, share space with the waiters putting dirty dishes away. it was a little on the loud side. The chips looked homemade a little on the thick side, But good. the the salsa was good but Spicy. would be good if they add a mild salsa as well. The food was pretty good. I ordered Fajitas in new york little different and a sauce but they were good This way. We ordered a bean and cheese burrito with rice and beans for my six-year-old daughter. They charge use thirteen dollars for a burrito and three fifty for rice and additional three fifty for beans. They did not think about the customer on offer of kids mill option. Most other restaurants charged $7 or less for kids. Play overpriced, the menu said $28 for my fajita to charge me 24. We paid $80 for 3 meals and an alcoholic drink. The food was pretty good, but overall overpriced and the waitress took dishes away from us. Before we were done with them, she didn't ask if we were done. She assumed we were done and started taking them. I don't think we would go back here mainly because of the prices.
