This is a family-owned and operated business representing three generations: grandmother, mother and son. Grandmother's recipes handed down through the generations, prepared with love. My chicken tinga (without crema per my request) was heavenly, plated on a house-made baked tostada. Hubby's birria consomme stew with massive amounts of beef and vegetables (including corn) was exceptional - we requested "small size" and the sizes were still very generous. Grandmother, mother and son are fine people. The recipes are REAL Mexican food and not "adapted". We received a strawberry ice bar with real strawberries as a gesture made by grandmother. read more

The Chicharron Gordita was very good. The corn cake was very tasty and the Chicharron was delicious. The Carne Asada Burrito was good. It was filled with Mexican/Spanish rice, beans, onions, and some tasty Asada. The burrito was pretty big and filling. The Asada Fries were good. They were a large portion of fries with tasty Asada, cheese, beans, and avocado. The service was kind and courteous. The dinning area was small, but comfortable. read more

My son said it best...the food tasted like Abuela was cooking. We came here after doing the Verde Canyon train. This is a family run business and they were so welcoming, service was great. Food was authentic and delicious! I saw an earlier review that they only speak Spanish and it's not true (which shouldn't be an issue even if they did, food is a universal language ). They have menus in English and Spanish and they speak both languages. Anyone would feel welcomed here and more importantly enjoy the food! Great stop if you are in the area and make sure you get a fresca de crema! read more

Excellent! Food was fresh and homemade on the spot. Coming from San Diego and being used to authentic Mexican cuisine, this place hit the spot. Nopales and egg tacos on homemade tortillas. I had two they were so good. Highly recommend! read more

When you dine at Las Salsitas, the food tastes like someone's abuela is in the kitchen. The ambience has nothing to recommend it, but the food is authentic Mexican! read more

Family-owned and run eatery. Normally abuelita is in the kitchen, but she was in Mexico on vacation when we showed up. Server was a granddaughter, and very nice. We ordered the guarahas, birria consomme, and fish tacos. The guarahas was like a tostada. Ample toppings. Very simple, but good. The fish tacos were good, also. Didn't seem to be anything special, but they were good. The birria consomme is not on the menu, but they often have it. That was very flavorful, very good. I can recommend it. read more

We got to the restaurant and sat for 10 minutes without being served. We felt that we were in the wrong place soon as we sat down. The menu was only on Spanish. So if you don't understand or can't read it your SOL. I also felt like a monkey or a petting zoo animal since everyone was staring at us. This was defiantly a place only for Hispanic people. read more

La Salsitas is a very quaint and adorable restaurant. Our server was great and she was very accommodating/thoughtful about our gluten allergy. But OMG the food is awesome!!! Their homemade corn tortillas are the absolute BEST!!!!! My mom loved her chicken tacos and my Camarones diablos blew my mind. They have a great little salsa bar too with everything from very hot salsa down to an avocado crema that was delicious. I am definitely coming back next time I am in cottonwood!!!! read more

Everything about our visit was amazing. This was the best food we've had in a while and the service was great. Perfect date night. We will be back and tell others. read more

We used to love this place but the new owners have stripped the menu and the server let us know sea food is dangerous to sell.... WTF know it's expensive don't try to blow smoke up my a@@ so next time we go see our chiropractor in cottonwood this place is not even an option. Oh and service was really bad read more

Our last evening in the Sedona/Cottonwood area and as usual I'm in charge of finding a place for dinner as I'm the Yelper! We tend to go to at least 4 star ratings and Las Salsitas fit the bill! Owned and operated by a local Mexican family in Cottonwood, Az. After being served chips and salsa I ordered a scrumptious homemade fresh squeezed lime margarita. My entree was a huge quesadilla of the day which had chicken, avocado, cheese and creme fresh. DH had 3 taco's chicken, beef & pork for $1.25 each as it was taco Tuesdays! This place is very reasonably priced and delicious. We chatted quite a bit with the waitress she was such a sweetheart and when we were leaving I took her picture with her family who did all the cooking. My camera crashed and I lost that picture... so sad as the whole family were just lovely! If we ever come back to Cottonwood, Az we will surely return to Las Salsitas again... read more

If you're seeking authentic Mexican food this is the place to stop. When the rice & beans are homemade & blow your mind, you know you're on the right track to great Mexican cuisine. And their salsa selection is very nice, with lots of great flavor & heat. In the mood for street tacos? Then you should be popping in and get your fill. Tried a lot of Mexican food spots in the Verde Valley, and thus far this one is the best overall. Enjoy!!! read more

Again one of those local great places. We had breakfast there. Spicy food. Good service, great coffee. I will give some constructive criticism to the management. During breakfast do not play the TV super loud while it is showing an R-rated move. read more

Their beef fajitas, tamales and other dishes taste authentic home cooking! We loved so much!! There's Mexican dessert shop next door and we definitely try next time we visit there! read more

Nice, casual spot in Cottonwood. My friends and I stopped by for a quick dinner last week. Our server was nice and gave a bunch of suggestions. She was also quick to restock the basket of chips that we had devoured. I ordered the Veggie Tamale and Lengua Taco. Both were fine but nothing to rave about: tasty and authentic, but could've used more flavor. From the description of the tamale, I thought there would've been a more veggies in it. My friend ordered one of the giant quesadillas, which had too much sour cream, but was otherwise quite tasty. Easy option if you don't want to do a long sit-down dinner in Cottonwood. read more

Our favorite Mexican in the verde valley hands down. Everything on the menu is fresh and flavorful. Reminds us of the kind of meals you get in Mexico. Low key, friendly, and just really really good food. read more

Quick service and delicious food. My husband had Bistek Ala Mexicana and a Carne Asada taco. I had the fish tacos. Would recommend!

My wife and I finally got around to trying this relatively new Mexican eatery in town. It's located where the old School House restaurant used to be so it's not very big but it is kinda funky and divey in a positive way Cozy and family owned, our server was extremely friendly and attentive. Now for the food. This is not your typical Mexican eatery. This is like visiting your abuela's house for a meal - fresh, homemade - the real deal. They offer several items you won't find at most Mexican diners like Guaraches and Sopes. They have THE best fresh salsa bar of any Mexican place I've eaten at - a wide variety of VERY fresh salsas from mild to fiery hot. Even their pico de gallo is spiked with habaneros. Also the best I've ever had. Very fresh. Very authentic. Muy delicioso!! Can't wait to return. P.S. My wife was apparently not as impressed as I was so regretfully we may not be returning anytime soon. Too bad. read more

This is a very cute cozy little restaurant! There's a little bit of everything ranging from breakfast food to shrimp pasta. We stopped by here after a Sedona hike and we did not regret it. Portions are just right. You wont leave stuffed or starved. I got the 3 taco combo plate and the tripa taco was my favorite. Also complimentary chips with an open salsa bar. The only downside I would say is that the prices in the menu doesn't seem accurate to the current price. The 3 taco combo was listed as $11.99 on the menu but I ended up paying $14.99 at checkout. The server was very friendly. very clean inside. I will definitely stop by whenever I'm in town again! read more

Las Salsitas is definitely the place to go if you are craving for authentic Mexican food. We ordered Menudo to share, different varieties of street tacos and special of the day tacos dorado con papas and chorizo. We ate everything that were ordered along with two baskets of tortilla chips. They also have self serve salsa bar. The staff are very friendly and accommodating. Like Arnold said, I'll be back. read more

This is the best Mexican food in the Verde Valley. The salsas are obviously freshly made. The habanero salsa and the smoky chile morita salsa are 2 of the tastiest I've had (and I've had a LOT in my day). Most everyone knows about taco Tuesday at this point but here there is torta Monday as well: a bevy of different meat & topping combos to choose from. Gorditas are a standout, with their freshly made thick masa tortillas. Avoid the chains and support a locally owned family business! read more

My Gordita's were so delicious. 10/10 on those. But beware that gratuity is added and an itemized check was not provided so we ended up all double tipping and wondering why our bill was so high. That was super frustrating. So -1 star for that. read more

I'm really sad to say this... but our meal here was not good. It started out well with the salsa bar and horchata. Then I ordered a shrimp quesadilla with all the fixings. Sautéed shrimp with tomatoes and onions in a handmade corn tortilla topped with cream, guacamole, and lettuce sounds great, right? But it had literally zero flavor. Except the shrimp tasted a bit off. My boyfriend ordered a beef quesadilla and said it also had no flavor. The family who runs the restaurant is very nice, but I really wouldn't recommend eating here. It was a waste of money. The only reason I'm giving them 2 stars and not 1 is because the horchata was delish. read more

Cute, homey delicious food. Stopped in for breakfast ordered the green chilaquiles and the menudo. Love the fact they use real Mexican cheese ( white farm cheese) NO YELLOW CHEESE HERE with eggs over easy. The sauce was mild but flavorful. I decided to play a bit of Russian roulette and order the menudo because my Sunday wasn't exciting enough; thought what the hell. So happy I did. The menudo was freshly made which is unusual for a tiny town Mexican place to have fresh menudo. It was delicious and then.... to our pleasant surprise homemade tortillas! It was giant, piping hot and beautifully doughy! I was stuffed and left wanting to try the huarache.. next time! I'll make sure I take advantage of the salsa bar I missed. Skip the coffee.. not that good. I would've loved some cafe de olla. But opted instead for a Mexican coke. Nothing better than bottled Coca Cola! read more

12.99 gets you this wonderful deluxe Philly. Not only was it bite sized, the meat tasted off. Almost like old grill as it had all kinds of different meat flavor. Not to mention it was full of gristle. Left nearly the whole thing there as I didn't want to get sick. My girl got her entrée comped but had to pay the full price for this one. I won't be back and suggest you try anywhere else. read more

Staff is so nice and attentive. Food is incredible because they have abuelita making dishes by order. If you're in town looking for food that tastes like home, let me just say, hand made yellow tortillas read more

Great the food was good the staff was cool over all it was great tasty very authentic

The worst customer service I've ever experienced. I ordered the puerco en salsa rojo. It had no flavor and it had little bones attached to the meat. The worse thing I've ever had. No flavor at all. The waitress who waited on us was rude arrogant towards us but friendly to any other patrons. Even explaining the special of the day. Offering them their beverages immediately where we waited at least 10 minutes. And told them of the variety of salsas at the salsa bar. Which not once she told us. Rude and poor customer service and the food was terrible. Highly don't recommend eating here on your way through to Clarkdale read more

Still awesome after 2 more visits. The Bistek was amazing and was very pleased with the relleno. The salsa bar habenero sauce was second best salsa in VV. read more

Booomb!!! The quesadillas are made with super amazing giant homemade corn tortillas. We got a vegan one with mushrooms (no cheese, no crema) and a non vegan one with carne asada, grilled onions, grilled serranos, and cheese. Both amazing. The salsas are sooooo good. Molcajete, verde, and a rojo. Very tasty. So happy we stopped by; will be back. Highly recommend! The tortillas alone are worth it. Also, for my vegetarian friends, the beans do not have lard, so chow down. read more

Nice family style Mexican restraurant easily situated in downtown Cottonwood. Food is very authentic and delicious. ESP the tostadas de raja and cream. Buyer beware portions are very small and refills are not free. We were made to be they were so was disappointed to have been charges for 3 instant lemonades! Tasty food though read more

Quesadillas are way outside of the scope of tortilla and cheese. Not an appetizer! A complete meal in and of itself! Stopped by the next day for Taco Tuesday. Oh my gosh! The most flavorful $1.25 tacos I've had! A must stop when in Cottonwood from now on! It is on the way to Jerome after all! Besides, when traveling when do you ever go to the same place two days in a row? Well we did here!!! read more

This is an amazing place right off Main Street. The food was amazing and everything tasted really fresh.

I stopped here on a road trip to northern Arizona. We took our seats and the chips and red salsa were really good! They served our margaritas and they were very refreshing! I ordered the tinga chicken chimichanga with red sauce. The red sauce here is made here in the restaurant, very delicious!!! The service was also extremely friendly. I want to come back here soon. The food is delicious and the customer service is great! read more

Super good food! Can't believe it wasn't real busy either. I asked them to tell me what was good and pick my dinner! It was excellent! Nice family run business and very friendly and the check back on you and make sure you have everything you need. I will gladly come back. They have an American menu as well that looked good. I will have to try that another day. I was wanting real Mexican food and saw they had all 5 star reviews and it's the real thing! It is nice and very clean too. Go try it for yourself! read more

Brilliantly cooked and served. Food is absolutely delicious. Place is quaint and small, quite clean and friendly staff.

Clean food, wonderful flavors! Delicious flavorful food and the chef is happy and able to make vegetarian dishes. Fresh, homemade tortillas are wonderful and the salsa bar has an excellent range of salsas with very good flavors; obviously handmade and fresh. The owner takes alot of pride in her food and the waitstaff service is excellent. read more

I had the Camarones Al Crema(shrimp in spicy chipotle sauce) with rice and beans on corn tortilla. The corn tortillas are made in house and really fresh! Also had a bowl of Menudo soup and it tasted fresh. The salsas are really good and they have a little salsa bar for your chips. This is a really small establishment but I like the cozy feel it's like you are eating at a friends house. They don't have fountain soda but give you cans of soda if you want it. I never have tried the more American type stuff on the menu but all the Mexican food has been really good each time I've been there including the steak tacos. read more
