The food in the cafe in the back looked like it had been sitting for hours and it was only 10 am. Highly deceptive pricing! They do not put prices on anything.

I am heading to Hattiesburg area to pick up some of these staples bcuz there is no reason these prices should represent California prices.

This place should be closed down by the city. Everyone who runs this business should be fined for their entirely unethical business practices. I have eaten here twice. The first time, it was 6 PM on a Saturday night and I was looking for a family friendly Mexican restaurant. They insisted on playing nightclub music and taking three hours to serve our table even though there were only two other parties at the restaurant. They wouldn't turn the music off despite requests. This isn't Ministry of Sound. The second time, they lied on my check and gave me charges I didn't pay for. Prices here are already atrocious, and now I had to pay extra due to this business being run so unethically. I can't believe an establishment like this is allowed to stay open. I think the government should come close them down. Food is terrible too so no redeeming qualities here. read more

I cannot believe that a business like this is allowed to remain open. They charge exorbitant prices for flavorless, bland and just overall not good food. They milk you dry on margaritas that are not good in the slightest and are also minuscule portion sizes. Really a poorly run model. I don't think anyone should ever put up with their insane price hikes. Don't ever eat here. They should be ashamed of themselves. read more

This establishment is a disgrace. On their menu they charged $25 for a margarita pitcher. Then they charged me $50 on "changed prices." Margarita and queso dip should never cost anyone $70+. Jackson, MS???? This is not New York or London. I will not be returning. Do not eat here. It is an embarrassment to humanity. Food is incredibly mediocre. That's why I ate at home.

All of my in-laws and my husband have eaten here and told me how wonderful it is - my turn! Small, unpretentious restaurant with a lot more seating than you would think from the outside appearance. Immediate lunch seating and prompt, large basket of chips with a mason jar of salsa and 3 small cups. The chips are good, but watch that salsa - it's got a kick! Husband and sister-in-law ordered the Tacos Nortenos with chicken; they had had these before and were fans. I'm not a big taco eater, but I took a bite of one and would definitely eat these. I went with sister-in-law's recommendation of the Monterey Enchiladas, and I would have licked the plate when I was done if I wasn't afraid of being caught...that cheese sauce is to die for! I want it on everything! Our drinks were refilled without asking, and there was no need for a takeout box. :) I had to stare at the bill for a minute before adding the tip - $41 for 3 people to eat lunch, with drinks & tax. It was SO worth the drive.

The restaurant is large and light and airy. Service was prompt and to the point. I had the carnitas tacos, which were pretty large - the meat was decent though, and I wasn't disappointed. I could not finish the large plate of rice and refried beans that came with it though. My partner had his favorite, the "molcajete" a huge stone bowl of surf and turf (see photo). Overall, the food is more like TexMex than authentic Mexican, but it isn't bad. I enjoyed the tacos, and if I ever find myself in Jackson again I would probably be back.

That said, dining Mexican is about the full experience, and Salsa's fell short for me. The complimentary chips were thick and cold--I much prefer them thin, crisp, and ideally warm when they hit the table. The salsa itself was disappointing too: thick, plain, and more like tomato sauce than the fresh, zesty dip I was hoping for. Service also had a hiccup--I was charged for extra pico and sour cream that never arrived. Not the end of the world, but frustrating nonetheless. All in all, while my meal was tasty and my son enjoyed his birthday, I can't say I had the complete Mexican dining experience I look forward to. I'll give Salsa's another shot next year, but for now, it's not at the top of my list.

This was literally my first visit back since the pandemic and I was a little excited to go, especially since it was Cinco De Mayo. We were a party of 4 and sadly the service wasn't good. We placed our order well before some larger parties and others who came after us and after watching them get their food, we asked about ours. Our server never came back out of the kitchen until much later but we did finally get our food. They did apologize but never said what the issue was. Despite the issue with service, our food was good. I ordered the spinach enchilada Suizas which had a spicy kick to them. I liked them. Would have loved them if it wasn't for that extra kick. The spinach was also not wilted as it is when I've ordered this dish from other restaurants. The drinks were ok too. Nothing to get excited about but I'm willing to bet they were just a little watered down due to the special day. I am going back because it's a local spot that I've enjoyed in the past.

Service is racist and horrible!…read more My family (party of 5) including my boyfriend came here last Saturday. We were sat in the very back of the restaurant near the restroom. There was no overhead lighting. The ceiling is black. We were brought out one basket old broken chips. We requested a fresh batch. Our waiter was very dismissive and said that it was coming. It came out 20 minutes later. We had to ask for drinks. We had to ask for them to take our order. Our waiter was trash; he didn't write anything down. I had to tell him three times no cheese. When the food came out, he forgot my order and my boyfriend's extra order of tacos. Whereas, an all white family walks in. Party of 5. They were seated in the table in front of us. They were given a table that was under a well bright lit area. They immediately received two baskets of full fresh chips. Their waiter immediately got their drinks orders and placed them. They were immediately had their orders taken and everything was brought out at the same time. They were constantly checked on. I looked around the whole restaurant. They placed large parties (5+) near the restroom if they were black, but any other race they give them tables that was well lit with multiple lights not around the restroom or pay station. The food is okay, nothing to write home about, but the service is piss poor for black people. You'll get amazing service if you are white. I witnessed it. We were never checked on. We had to ask for the tab. By the way, the last location that they had was very dark. This newer location was not any better. So much for the remodel.
