I've been here a few times over many years and I like the food. The gorditas are what I have had most often, though I have tried many different meats. Their gorditas are like corn tortilla pockets where the fillings are put into the tortilla rather than having the tortilla wrapped around it. The al pastor and chorizo are probably my favorite meats so far and I usually get a plate with two gorditas with beans and rice. The rice is simple, but how I'd make it at home with a a mild flavor and few mixed veggies in it. There are plenty of interesting salsas to try at the salsa bar. Sometimes the music is a little strange (one time, we agreed that it was like "kidz bop, if performed by adults"). Order at the counter and take a seat. read more

Food is good but the pricing is kinda off for tacos rice and beans and charging $4.50 or $9.00 for 2 sodas is mental. Then adding hidden charges for debit card is whack. 4 tacos rice and beans and a bowl of soup w tip shouldn't cost $77!!! read more

Fun atmosphere even though it isn't your normal sit down Mexican restaurant. Love the option for Mexican Coke. Best chicken fajitas I've had in a long time read more

I got steak nachos, stuffed myself and still had enough left over to heat the rest for dinner. Fresh made iced tea was nice and strong. The mango salso is soooo good, I could eat it by the spoonful. Hmmm. . . wonder what it tastes like over vanilla ice cream. . . You can buy it by the pint for eight bucks--worth it! There were five in our party, and everyone seemed happy with what they ordered. We didn't talk much, we were too busy eating! read more

Great food for east Mesa and joyful atmosphere and delicious salaa all of them are delicious.. I really like the shrimp enchiladas and asada and chicken tacos read more

This place is so cozy! We immediately felt right at home, and the service was so kind and courteous. The salsa bar is so good- just between you and me, I could (and did) drink the molcajete salsa like a shot. It's that good. My husband got the #3 chile relleno combo, and I got the #14 posole. My husband loved his, and the posole was so comforting! We cannot wait to come back. read more

We recently moved back over to this side of town and we came out of the gym, on a taco Tuesday and with being certified big backs we decided to stop it! The restaurant has great reviews on here and Google and we found out why! The restaurant was very clean, the salsa bar was stocked up and kept very clean! Customer service was excellent, he was so nice and polite. There tacos deals are great they had a variety of meat to choose from for I believe under $3 a piece, our son ordered the Birria noddles and still to this day he asked me to take him back just so he can order it! We will definitely be back for the amazing food and they good vibes! read more

The food is amazing here and always so fresh and yummy!! Favorites include their tacos, burritos, and carne asada dishes, all made with fresh ingredients. The meats are well seasoned, and everything tastes authentic and homemade. Service is quick and very friendly, which adds to the overall positive experience!! If you're by Mesa and are looking for a spot to eat at, I recommend Salsa Cabana!! read more

If you're anywhere near Salsa Cabana, do yourself a favor and stop by. Hands down some of the best food around fresh, flavorful, and consistently on point. The quality, portions, and taste all hit every time. Easily one of the top spots in the area! read more

Food is great, staff great, seating great. The atmosphere peaceful and inviting. Try this family owned business. They make everything fresh so you have to wait a little. Salsa bar wonderful. read more

Food was really yummy and it's really hard to impress me with good Mexican food being from San Diego. We enjoyed the carne asada fries which were enough for 2. We took advantage of the taco Tuesdays which all tacos are 2.99 each with the ability to choose from meat list. My family of 4 enjoyed the carne asada tacos and the birria tacos along with 2 plates to share of the carne asada fries. They have a salsa bar that is out of this world. They have peppers, radishes, carrots, salsas of various kinds, pico, mango pico, verde and more on the bar it was awesome. Your inside dinning comes with warm chips complementary. The ambiance is chill and laid back with booths and tables. They can accommodate medium and large groups. They also have a curb cabana table to dine. The service was great as the staff were really nice and very accommodating. I would definitely recommend this establishment and will return soon. read more

This place is delicious and authentic! The freshness is noticeable and sets their food apart from other Mexican places. I love that they have a salsa bar, so many options and flavors. read more

This quaint little place was such a nice surprise. We are visiting from Southern California and found this place on yelp. The food was so delicious! It was like eating at my gramas house. Such friendly ladies and the food tastes like they cooked it with love. The food came out looking just like the photos on the menu !! That's a first for me. Even the salsa bar was like amazing. All the stuff I would find on my gramas dining table for dinner. The price may seem too much but the food is so worth it. We had 3 combo plates and 1 fountain drink and 2 beers. $63.00. We cleaned our plates ! Highly recommend this place read more

This little strip mall restaurant is a treasure! The restaurant is a mix of fast casual and slow food, with comfortable booths and "real plates," but plastic silverware and throwaway chip containers. The staff are super friendly and offer many options for food customization. (As their sign says, they do not serve fast food. They make everything to order.) The prices seemed a little bit elevated, but for the delicious flavors, it was worth it. My husband says he is ready to go back anytime! read more

Mexican restaurant is me and my kids go to spot. we love it! the salsa bar is a great touch and the food is consistently great!

I never had a Gordita in my life , I was so hungry after moving and I can't believe what I bit into . Swear I am the pickiest person when it comes to food. This was so so bomb. The effort they made to pack up my food too as chefs kiss. The service is incredible and the salsa bar I kid you not so freaking tasty. I am so grateful to have found this place read more

I was very excited to try this place because it says it's authentic Mexican food. I had the Queso Birria taco. It didn't have as much flavor as I had hoped, but it was good for white wash, Mexican food. The green hot salsa was not hot. Would I go back? Maybe for some rolled tacos but that's about it. Sorry. read more

Salsa Cabana Mexican Grill - Dinner! - Mexican Near Me - Mesa, Arizona

Oh my Lort! This very clean delicious restaurant has been here all along and I'm just trying it out today. It's SOOO good. The salsa bar alone is a meal in itself and there wasn't a salsa I didn't like . They have wonderful soup options daily. Wish they had menudo, but no luck, just pozole. You know you've hit the jackpot when the beans, rice n salsa are good. See for yourself. They won't disappoint. Great friendly staff too. Cold beer available plus dessert options like churros and sopalpillas. Going back tomorrow to try Caldo de Pescado, which also has shrimp. Can't wait. read more

Excellent Food, loved this place! Chips and salsa was wonderful. Has a salsa bar so one can customize their salsa. Enchiladas were the best! Outdoor seating. read more

This is a tough one. The food was not bad, but not great. It IS made to order, which is nice. The salsa bar is good. The margaritas were pretty good. The people at this restaurant work their a##es off. The ambience is basic strip mall. While overall we enjoyed our lunch, for the price I would rather find a regular restaurant. read more

I never knew this place existed and I was intrigued to check it out after reading all the great reviews. We stopped by on Saturday for an early dinner and it wasn't at all busy. The have a lot of different items on the menu and they have combos as well. We ended up ordering one posole, a three gorditas plate, and a taco combination plate. The combination plate came with two tacos, rice, and beans. We also ordered two drinks and a michelada. Our total was close to $40. We sat in a booth towards the back and waited for our food. The salsa bar was nicely stocked and had a few different salsas to pick from. Chips were brought out to our table by one of the employees and our food was brought out one by one. I ordered the posole and it was pretty good! I threw all the garnishes on there and bam it was delicious! Oh and I also ate it with chips. My friend had the three gorditas plate. He ordered one carne asada, one carnitas, and one chicharron. He liked them all expect for the carnitas. He said that meat had no flavor and was super dry. My other friend has the taco plate making one of her tacos chicken and the other carne asada. She preferred the chicken over the carne asada. The salsas were too watered down for our tastes and the pickeled onions were on fire, beware! The employees were friendly and the tables were clean. I would be back again for some more posole! read more

Very good food, the salsa bar was cool, they have a lotta types of salsa. I tried the green and the red salsa and peco. It was all really good. The service was good, a pretty empty restaurant but we got our food within 5 mins. The size of the burrito we got was also good. The whole vibe of the place is very good, it's a very clean restaurant with pictures and banners and fans. I would recommend. read more

I was pleasantly surprised by this place. They have a bright and appealing menu, with plenty of traditional Mexican food options. They have an extensive salsa bar that was appealing and fresh. The carne asada burrito was delicious, the tortilla was soft and the meat was tender. I also tried their rolled tacos, which might have been the best rolled tacos I've ever eaten. read more

Wow! Authentic!! Pox ole is the best I've had. Friendly as can be. Small but very personable place. I can't wait to come back. You have to look for this place as it's tucked I a small plaza. But it's worth it!! read more

This is the best Mexican food place around. Nothing beats it. Everything is great. They make everything homemade besides the tortillas Andi won't even order from anywhere else. They work so hard cooking back there and the food definitely shows. I would say if you are looking for the best Mexican restaurant around Mesa this is the one. read more

Got 2 Bacon Burrtios. Called in 20 minutes earlier and they said it would be 15 minutes. I waited yet another 25-30 minutes in their humid restaurant, sweating, and then it was somehow 27 dollars! (had the audacity to ask for a tip for a to go order too) 27 dollars....I sat there and said wow these must be huge burritos....WRONG! They are less than HALF the size of a filibertos burrito, barely larger than a sonic burrito, barely larger than a taco bell Burrito. And to make things worse, it was the most mediocre burrito I have ever had. Their actual mexican food is pretty good, I got a carne asada burrito and it was solid...but $17!!!! Do not reccomend for the price read more

Went to have brunch at crackers and company and the wait was ridiculous so we wandered into this little hole in the wall. What a great find! The food is fresh and homemade. I mean really home made like fresh refried beans and an exceptional salsa bar. And amazingly clean (something you don't always expect in a little spot like this). The staff was efficient and very gracious. Definitely going back for more! read more

Large, beautiful restaurant that makes you feel like you're on a short vacay from your life. Very clean and nice environment. The food was delicious. I had the steak taco and beef enchilada. Both meats were fresh and well seasoned. The salsa bar has tons of choices from picked carrots, jalapenos, and onions to fresh mango salsa. Complimentary chips on the side - looks like your date is waiting. Staff were also very kind. read more

I haven't been here in a while but I'm stoked I came in tonight. The food was awesome! I had the burrito Mexicana with steak and the wife had the chicken tacos. The flavors were on point and portion size was legit. The tamales were the kicker though. We got one of each red and green and couldn't decide which one was our favorite. I highly recommend this place! read more

Our favorite spot by our house! The people that run it are always friendly and provide great service.

This is 5 star authentic food all the way. Juicy, flavourful, big portions, with a salsa bar where you can pick and choose whatever you want. Clean, fast service, and DELICIOUS! We will be back and back and back again! You order from the front counter, but who cares? The food was thee most authentic I've had in Arizona so far. If you don't like the heat, stay out of the hot salsa. read more
