The birria and quesabirrias are absolutely delicious--very flavorful without being overly salty. I also loved the combination of condiments. Nothing was overwhelmingly spicy, but if you like more heat, you can definitely request it. The service was excellent--attentive, cordial, and respectful. The ambiance is definitely a small, hole-in-the-wall type of spot, but honestly, don't let the size fool you--the food is delicious! Sometimes the best food comes from the smallest places. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

I had a recommendation from a friend to stop here, I am glad I did!…read more I am a firm believer that the fancier the Mexican restaurant, the more bland the food will be. This location is not a flashy place, it is very simple. But, the food is incredible. I opted for a simple order of carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos. These are my barometer dishes to guage the quality of the food. Both of the tacos were wonderful. The carne asada was seasoned and grilled to perfection. The al pastor was marinated and juicy and so full of flavor. The sign to me that this spot is focused on the food was the handmade tortillas. It takes a lot of effort and skill to be able to make perfect corn tortillas! The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and I could tell they put a lot of love into the food they prepare. I will recommend this spot to anyone that is looking fro great food in North Carson.

We also got a flan to split for dessert and it was great! The texture was different than im used to. More cakey and less gelatin texture. It was really good. Service was great and for $28, it was a nice, inexpensive, tasty lunch!

Pretty good first visit to Taqueria La Salsa. We were craving some tacos, and this place served us…read moreup some very classic street tacos! Located off of HWY 50/Williams St, Taqueria La Salsa is a small Mexican joint offering many classic Mexican-American staples. We ordered street tacos and a kids' quesadilla. Honestly, the food is just ok. The tacos were flavorful, and the beans and rice were classic Mexican-American; however, the tacos were also quite small, even for street tacos, and the quesadilla was very bland. I felt at first the prices were very reasonable, but after tax and tip, the total didn't come out to be that much less than other Mexican restaurants in the area. Service was ok, but nothing special. We did not feel especially welcomed. I definitely got vibes that this place has a lot of regulars. Overall, I think this place is great, but I also think there are many just as good spots for Mexican food in Carson City and the surrounding areas.

We've enjoyed this place for years, and I don't believe you'll find better tamales anywhere else... except for maybe your Tia's home!

We also left with 60 warm tamales! Great reheated for lunches or snacks!

They were really dry. I'm used to sauced enchiladas. The beans had no flavor at all and same with the rice. The husband said the same about the enchiladas. The tamale looked big, but there was literally hardly any filling in it. The prices are very reasonable. $10 I believe for most plates. Has great stars, but not the place for us. They were busy and have been there forever. So I'm glad they have an awesome following.

And the food tastes just as good, and the same, as it did back in the 70's. For most of my life, I always ordered the chile relleno lunch special or small dinner, but this past year, I've moved on to the cheese enchilada lunch special. Equally as tasty. And my mom today had the melt in your mouth goodness of the Tacos Nacionales lunch special. If you know you know, and if you don't you should absolutely try it.

Nice and crispy, served with rice and beans. A satisfying dish. My husband got the fajitas with steak. Their portions are huge and the amount of meat they gave him was definitely a value with what they charged. I also, had the best horchata there. Not too sweet and perfectly balanced with just enough cinnamon. The best item I had there. The 2 items not worth getting is the shrimp tostada. Literally a boring ice berg lettuce salad with cold shrimp filled in a tortilla bowl. And their choco-flan. The cake part was dry and hardly tasted chocolate. However, the flan layer was pretty good. Maybe just order the flan. This is an old place that could definitely use a renovation. The place over all is just dirty. Everything needs an upgrade.
