The chips are good. I didn't realize they had a mild and a spicy salsa and had already poured the mild of which was bland, I'll have to try the spicy next time and judge that more accurately. The cheese dip is white but very plain and bland. The rice is very good. Tortillas are good. The enchiladas looked great. Chicken quesadillas were mid. Service was good. read more

Ordered simple cheese enchiladas, Minimal cheese in cool & crumbling corn tortillas. Asked for what any other restaurant offers, simple topping of pico, lettuce & sour cream. Plate arrived overwhelmed w heaping shredded lettuce & 1/3 cup of sour cream. Unable to locate pico or enchiladas. Bonus: I was charged roughly $2. For EACH - lettuce, "pico" & sour cream. Not again... read more

Mom and I went on a Friday evening. Place was packed! Clean as a whistle, great food and service!

Tacos were so greasy that the grease sprayed into our mouths when we took a bite. Told the waitress who pretended to play dumb. Then told the lady at the front who once again, played dumb in perfect English just like the waitress. Will NEVER be back! read more

We love Mr. Salsa! Everyone is so friendly and welcoming. We've been here a couple of times but the most special when we came for my daughter's birthday. They sang to her and she really enjoyed it. The food is good and the portions are large and we've always been happy with everything. read more

The salsa was absolutely amazing! The service was also very quick and the staff were so kind. The rice and beans were slightly bland but nothing a little salt can't fix :) read more

The wait staff were very kind and attentive, but the food was a bit bland. It was also on the pricier end of Mexican food I've had.

This place is as good as, but not really better, than most every other South Carolina Mexican restaurant in the area. If you are new to SC Mexican food, just do it! You will not be disappointed. SC Mexican is like New York Pizza - it's all really delicious compared to the rest of the country. You only get particular when you live there a while, taste multiple different places, and can taste the nuanced differences. If you are a newbie, you should just go, and you should love it. Order fajitas, arroz con pollo, or pollo fundido if love cheese - yum. If you are like me and have eaten at dozens of these type of restaurants, you will find it to be good, but unremarkable. Would I go back? Of course! Would I get on a soap box about this Mexican restaurant being better than the others for some reason? nope. It's a good, steady hitter for SC Mexican food :) read more

The ambiance is good. The service was great but the food wasn't the best Mexican I've had.

They have gotten so skimpy on their food! I can remember ordering combo fajitas and not having enough tortillas for the dish but now three is more than enough because the fajitas are so small! read more

This was our third visit and unfortunately not different from the first two. The food has consistently been just okay. The margaritas have been less than acceptable. Weak and/or watered down. Service was prompt and everyone was pleasant. read more

We had a large group and need 2 tables outside and the staff were very accommodating. The food is great, the prices are cheap and the margs were huge! read more

A great casual restaurant, service is good and it has a very fun atmosphere. The food is affordable and tastes pretty good for the price

Well that's it, lads! After 11 months I've found our Mexican spot here in Greenville. Located in Taylor's, and more importantly, just around the corner from our house, Mr Salsa is a terrific place for a quick Mexican dinner. The staff is very friendly and polite, and the menu offers a wide variety of options. Their chips & salsa game is very strong, with hot crispy chips and a flavorful salsa that has just the right amount of bite to it. We opted for a pair of draft beers to keep things light, and Kat had the ultimate quesadilla, which came complete with the compliment of beans n rice with guacamole, lettuce & tomato. It was very fresh and she liked it. I forgot what my dish was called, but it was a chicken breast topped with chorizo and cheese, with rice and beans. It was really good! All told between a round of beers, queso, and two entrees we got out for a little more than $40, and we were happy with that. Looking forward to coming back again soon. read more

I think this place is quite good. Whether ive eaten in, or ordered for pick up, my order has always been correct, consistent, and tasty. The staff is friendly. The food is good. I don't know what else to say really. If you are looking for some good mexican food, i don't think you'd be disappointed. read more

Can't say enough great things about Mr. Salsa! Definitely great Mexican food. Usually grab their tacos but the fajitas are great as well. And of course the queso dip is a must! TIPS: - The 'Hot' Salsa has much more flavor, and isn't terribly spicy so I suggest it over the regular (the regular salsa is somewhat bland.) - If you get the guac, go with the "Mexican style" guac. I'm not sure why there's an option for a non Mexican style guac but it's basically *just* avocado, and again is rather bland. But the Mex style is great. But that aside, this is our hands-down go-to Mexican place! read more

I went to Mr. Salsa one evening with a group of about 15 after a sporting event. They had tables arranged in advance for our group. Service was very slow. It took about 10 minutes to put in a drink order. Took equally as long to bring complementary chips and salsa. One small basket for about every six people. Not nearly enough as they constantly had to refill the chips. With a restaurant named "Mr. Salsa" you expect the salsa to be pretty darn good. It was mediocre with little heat to it. I ordered the grilled steak soft shell tacos with rice and beans. Portion size was small. The tacos had a small portion of chopped steak and a half teaspoon of pico. Very forgettable. The rice and beans were your standard Mexican side dish. Nothing special. I walked away from the meal wishing we had eaten elsewhere. read more

It was underwhelming all around. Margarita wasnt good and steak in the steak burrito was burnt.

I haven't been here in awhile so I was nervous. The food was amazing. Try the dos amigos burrito, it's delicious!

Food is tasteless and barely edible. How someone can make nachos so watery and weird is beyond me. Never again!

Edit: After reaching out via FB messenger, Mr. Salsa made things right. I upgraded them to three stars for providing a satisfactory resolution. Please consider printing itemized receipts and writing the name of your to go orders on the bag. You all have us the wrong food, and it was extremely cold. So cold that the grease from the ground beef was congealed. When I called to explain the mistake, you all said "sorry". I feel sorry for the two kids orders I received. They were probably disappointed, too. There's $30 I lost, and you all lost our business. read more

This is normally a decent friendly restaurant however Melanie the "hostess" perhaps need to learn that the role of hostess requires a skill we human beings called being polite. She must understand that customers are Also are bilingual and understand the conversation when you speak poorly about a customer another employee. It cost absolutely zero dollars to be kind. read more

The food was pretty good. We had chimichangas and carne asada. DON'T ask for green salsa... $3.50 for a small amount. The waitress should warn people! read more

Hubby and I drove past Mr. Salsa for months. Decided to "try" since location is so convenient. We were thrilled and so surprised! Excellent servers, fresh food, great price, clean, attractive dining room. So sorry we didn't try sooner. Thank you Taylor's Mr. Salsa! We will be back soon and often. read more

Food was all right. Service is usually friendly... They really need to update their prices online though because you think you're about to pay $15 and end up with a $30 bill and when I said why she said prices went up... also, it seems like for it to go orders, They charge you more for the item then they would if you eat there and they charge you to go fee when I asked her if they can update their prices online she just looked at me and shrugged... that is extremely deceiving. I've been coming here for year and wish they would try a little harder with their customer service and overall quality read more

Yum! I love this place. It has fast, friendly service. The food is good and it has a nice place to eat outside.

Love this local gem! I usually try the specialties or the chicken soup which is amazing. But, today I chose a combo and I'm so satisfied! For a great price too! read more

This is the second time I have ordered take out from Mr. Salsa in Taylors, SC. I have been disappointed both times and will not return for take out. I live 5 minutes away and my order was cold when I picked it up. I was there early to get it and it was sitting on the counter. The second time I ordered, again they told me 10 minutes for pic up. I was there in 5 minutes and again, it was sitting on the counter. The chicken taco was supposed to have a crunchy sell but it was mushy and tasteless. The food was luke warm and the enchiladas were also tasteless. I did receive a big bag of greasy taco chips which I immediately threw out because they tasted like they had been reheated. I've eaten inside in the past and that experience was fair to good. Will never do take out again! read more

Eh, this place was way too hyped up from the parking lot. The food looked like it was out of a can and the presentation was awful. But the service was on point and fast, so thats why I gave the 2 stars. But probably won't be back. But it had a lot of patrons, so not sure if what we ordered was just the worst items on the menu. ‍ read more

The food is great and you can count it being consistent. However the owner lady and her relatives are rude. As long as you can overlook that you are good. The place stays busy I'm assuming bc the food is good. read more

This is one of my favorite Mexican restaurants in Greer. Friendly and patient staff. Always clean. Cheese dip is very good, and so are the quesadillas. I've never had to wait in line here! read more

Meh... Not a fan of this place. Ordered a To Go and when I walked in there I was not greeted, just looked up at by a girl at the register on her phone. When I approached, I let her know I have a to go order and she took my money and it was a thank you, your welcome transaction, nothing further. There was an order on the counter ready to go and I asked if this was mine and she said no it was someone else's and said yours isn't ready yet. Ok... so awkwardly I stood waiting in silence on the side. I had ordered my food about 45 minutes from pickup and was told it would be done in 15 when I called in. Which I get it, it takes time to prepare but at least a conversation or I'm sorry it's still being prepared would have been nice.. Finally food arrives and the girl bringing it out was nice and said sorry, just wish the cashier/hostess would have been. The food smelled and looked really good when I opened everything up. Unfortunately, food was not great. First the chips were bland with no salt... I tried to look over that because the queso dip we ordered was decent. Our entrees were flavorless, my order was the chili relleno, beef enchilada and ground beef taco. My chili relleno killed it all for me, it was a pile of cheese covering a pepper, the ground beef in my enchilada was so dry and wrapped with a soggy tortilla covered in sauce I couldn't finish it. My husband's was the same dry ground beef and so was his tamale. My kids ordered the cheese enchilada which was the best tasting out of this whole order. I wish it was a better experience and the food tasted as good as it looked and smelled, I probably will not return. read more

Not clean for Covid. I placed an order to go and walked in. The lady walked up with gloves on carrying money, a broom in one hand and a trash can in the other. She did not take the gloves off and was getting ready to take my card. I asked her if she was going to change her gloves and she said she did not touch food. She got an attitude and asked if I wanted her to change her gloves. I said yes. She shook her head and just took one of the gloves off to take my card. She then walked to a table with that same hand to get my food. I will not be back especially during the pandemic. I know things are not always perfect but if she is this careless in front of a customer... how clean and careful are they for their customer's health? read more

The food at Mr. Salsa was some of the most bland Mexican food that we have ever had. We sat down, and for some reason the hostess only gave us one menu to share. When the waiter came to the table the table we asked him for a second menu and he did bring one to us. We did find it odd that at a restaurant named Mr Salsa the salsa was bland and had very little flavor. Given the amount of Mexican restaurants in Greenville that have actual salsa bar's with 6-10 salsa's you would think that Mr Salsa would have at least one good, fresh salsa. Going over the menu we were having a difficult time trying to figure out what to order based on the descriptions. For example the burritos are just covered in "burrito sauce" We even asked what "burrito sauce" is and were only told that it was a red sauce with some onions in it. Great, I'll try that. I got a combination plate with a chicken enchilada, beef burrito, and chile relleno. My wife got the pulled beef fundido. I'll go over the combination plate first. The chile relleno was just an almost raw ring of pepper filled with barely seasoned ground beef and a little cheese melted on top. It was a far cry from a relleno which is should be a stuffed poblano pepper with cheese and sometimes with a meat in it; then fried in an egg batter. If a restaurant is unsure of what a item on the menu is they can do a quick search of the internet and get the answers. The burrito had the same bland ground beef (the seasoning tasted a lot like Old El Paso taco seasoning) and it was in fact covered in the infamous "Burrito sauce" and it was as advertised. It tasted like canned tomato sauce with some onions in it. The tortilla was dry on the outside and pasty and mushy on the inside. This made for an unpleasant texture during the bite. After thinking about it we think that the only way to get this to happen was to use a dried out tortilla that has been sitting out all day instead of a fresh one. Finally the the enchilada. The chicken was very bland and had almost no seasoning. But the real star of the show was the "enchilada sauce" We have had enchiladas all over the west and in Mexico and that being said we have never seen "enchilada sauce" that looked or tasted like this. First it was a strange brown color and it tasted almost like nothing, but what was strange is that there was one flavor that could clearly be identified, corn starch. The sauce was just corn starch paste. I do not even know how they got it the color that it was. The other item was the beef fundido. Surprisingly the shredded beef was actually pretty flavorful. The problem was once again the tortillas. The same stale tortillas that was in the combination plate were used in the beef fundido and once again it led to a very unpleasant texture. The fundido was at least decent. Mr Salsa was very underwhelming and very bland. The food seemed like it all came out of cans and very little of it was made in house. When we can make better food there is no way to give more than two stars. We are giving the second star because it at least looked clean and we didn't think we would get sick eating there. read more

Off the whim we popped in, due to the packed parking lot. The service was fast and efficient! We were quickly sat, orders taken and food delivered. Free Salsa: Free salsa is always good and this had some positives but some negatives. The positives was the hot salsa had a wonderful heat but also flavor. Another positive where the chips; they were fresh, crispy, and not to thick. The negative was the mild salsa, it lacked anything that resembled flavor and tasted like blended up tomatoes. Quite disappointing. The cheese dip: was ok, nothing special and no really distinguishable flavors; other than the cheese (bland). The bowl was nifty and the price was reasonable, but I have had many better white cheese dips. The Burrito, taco and rice: First off the Rice is HORRIBLE. Dried and no flavor (guess we have a theme going on). The burrito was covered with verde sauce and was very good. The flavor profile was nice and was not spicy (till I added the hot sauce lol). The taco was a normal taco, a little to juicy, but a bit messy. Red hot sauce: I had asked for some hot sauce. I think there was a miscommunication (glad there was) on hot sauce. I would have been ok with the Glass bottle with Wood top; but she asked me a few questions then disappeared. She returned with a small dish of red sauce and sat it on the table. I quickly grabbed a chip and cautiously dipped into the red, thick substance. BAM!!!! Heat, heat, and more HEAT!!!! But the flavor was good!!! Dabbed it all over the food and let the sweating begin. Added a major wallop of heat and created an enjoyable moment. Wish I knew what this red substance was and wish I could take some home for my chili!!! Price is as normal as any other Mexican restaurant. The lunch prices are much more reasonable and there are a lot of choices. read more

Mr Salsa Mexican Restaurant - Burrito with rice - Mexican Near Me - Taylors, South Carolina

My family and I love eating at this place very good food and the customer service is great.

We really enjoy lunches at Mr Salsa! The fajitas are great and not greasy, unlike some other Mexican restaurants. The enchiladas are tasty, as well. The guacamole needs some more seasoning though. We usually have to add a ton of salt and pepper for it to taste better than just mashed avocado. The service is quick and attentive. read more

I've seen Mr. Salsa around town for quite awhile now, but never went until their new Taylor's location opened up awhile ago. This quickly became one of our local favorites. Their food is consistently good, their front staff is friendly and their wait staff helpful (for the most part). Our favorite meal is their chicken chimichanga's or pollo fundido with a side of queso... muy bueno! Overall, Mr. Salsa is consistently good. The cost is a little higher than I would like, but it's priced fairly with other Mexican restaurants in the area. read more

Fantastic food, good atmosphere, and the perfect prices! I crave Mr. Salsa's chicken burrito and chips and salsa all the time!! Very fast cooks and service, temperatures of food are always spot on, and placing orders over the phone is super easy! 10 of out 10! read more
