I ordered the Carne Asada Suiza with flour tortillas--a pretty straightforward order…read more Unfortunately, the meal arrived without the cheese or the tortillas. The takeout bag is tied closed, so there's really no practical way to check the order before leaving. When I called to report the missing items, I was told that because the tortillas are complimentary, there was nothing they could do about them, and since the cheese is only a $1 charge, I would receive a $1 credit. I understand mistakes happen, but the response was disappointing. The issue isn't the $1--it's receiving an incomplete meal and being offered virtually no resolution for it

El Salto Mexican Restaurant

I made the mistake of ordering El Salto catering for a lunch gathering for 25 people. I chose the…read morehighest tier catering package for $16 a person and ordered Chicken fajitas, carnitas, and tamales. The order was supposed to be ready at 11:40 AM and it wasn't ready until closer to 12 PM. When we unpackaged the contents, we realized that there were no tortillas included in the order. There was a small tray of Mexican rice, beans, lettuce, tomato, cheese, carnitas and the chicken fajitas. The chips came in a large ziplock bag with 1 quart of salsa. Order came with serving spoons, but did not include 25 plates OR 25 napkins and we were short. When I called the restaurant to inquire about the missing tortillas, I was transferred to a manager who did not believe us that we were shorted the tortillas. She put us on a brief hold and returned to the line to state that the staff packaging the order is "90% certain" they included the tortillas in one of the aluminum trays. She asked us a few times to check the cardboard box. We informed her multiple times that the box is empty and that there are no tortillas in this order. It is very hard to enjoy a fajita bar without tortillas. She then decided to inform us that if we wanted, we can come back to the restaurant to pick up "MORE" Tortillas. I explained again that we do not have ANY tortillas and picking up MORE tortillas at this point in the lunch was not worth it since the order was already late and people had already started eating. The part that bothered me the most is that there was no acknowledgement or apology for the missing item in the order and an unbelieving attitude as if I was lying. I told her that there is no reason for me to lie and say I am missing tortillas. There's no value in me trying to secretly get extra tortillas if there are not even enough proteins to supplement those tortillas. All in all, we paid $500 for this catering order and the amount of food that we received felt like closer to a $200 order. The trays for the rice, beans, and proteins were mini trays and I found it very hard to believe that they expected that to feed 25 people. Additionally 1 quart of salsa is NOT enough for such a large number of people. And if I'm paying for a catering order that is supposed to be 25 people why wouldn't you double check there's enough plates and napkins??? As for the taste of food, my colleagues remarked that the food lacked flavor and tasted very bland. The tamales were very stringy inside and not able to cut through the inside without using a knife. If we had had enough salsa, that may have helped. All in all we will NOT be ordering from El Salto ever again. If you want decent Mexican food for a large crowd, honestly QDOBA is better and cheaper.

They are so attentive and accommodating. I appreciated the sense of urgency and politeness of the bartender and everyone else serving food. I ordered a mezcal sour and it was pretty tasty - although sweeter than I had hoped, but I would get it again for sure!! I also ordered the Combo Fajitas - the only thing that I didn't like was they were in a red sauce, but definitely sizzling when they came out. The rice and beans and chips and salsa were all very tasty. I found this portion to be large enough for one person - I didn't have any leftovers. The restaurant is small, bar in the middle, but also live music on the evening I was there, well a DJ playing music actually. It was loud, with some dancing, but I would like to go back to try some of their other specialities. I do have to say the service - excellent!!! Once again - they were just that good!

It prompted me to pull up my photos from our previous dining experience there, and the sandwich looks so much more unappetizing. The current sandwich is wet, pale, and oddly sweet. The color and texture are so different, so I'm not sure what they've changed from their original recipe.
