The food - TOP NOTCH. The margs - TOP NOTCH! The service - A LEVEL ABOVE! We had the best meal here, along with drinks. So much, that we broke our own rule of eating at the same place twice. We ate here THREE times!!!! The birria was amazing, the breakfast was to die for, the yucca... GET THE YUCCA. The owner and his wife are so sweet!!! They customized our food requests as needed, with smiles on their faces. The food was fresh. So much personality from the restaurant that we just couldn't get enough. Don't miss this little NOLA gem. read more

Food is BLAND asf. No where near like a home cooked meal that tastes like home! If you're looking for flavor and zest and Caribbean taste , this is not the place. Do not waste your time you're better off going to Tia Maria's kitchen honestly! Like I say if the cooks know English it's not going to be good. It simply doesn't taste good. It seems more pleasing on the eye than stomach. read more

Friendly staff with clean, bright interior. Very casual. Order at register and they bring to you. Big takeout business. Food very good because everything is cooked to order. Service a little slow. Took about 20 minutes to get our food which was pretty simple. Forgot my maduros so had to wait a while for that. They are famous for a 100% pure watermelon drink which is very good. Brought super hot out of the dryer chips to table. read more

I saw the reviews and was hyped up to come here. The space is clean and bright, and the service was good. The food wasn't great to me, but I'm willing to give it another try. I could do without the cucumber pico. My drink was refreshing though. read more

I kept seeing this place when going to Whole Foods but it was always close to their closing time. We decided to head there for an early dinner (they close at 6 pm) before picking up packages at Whole Foods. The inside of the restaurant is cute with some tropical decorations. We ordered at the counter and our food was delivered as ready. First we had an order of chips and queso. The chips were hot and fresh and the queso was delicious. Next we got our order of street corn which was good but could use some more topping. Finally I got my queso birria tacos. The green salsa that came with the tacos had a nice kick and the consommé was delicious. I'd definitely enjoy eating there again. read more

This was really good. Noticed this place after shopping at Whole Foods and wanted to give it a try. Inside is pretty spacious. You order at the counter then they bring the food out. Had a marg with a little spicy rim. I think it was hot honey and tajin to kick things off. Highly recommend adding that spice. Got the elote and chips and queso for apps. Both were good. I especially loved the chips with the queso they had like a double crunch. For main I got the blackened red fish tacos. That was very good as well nice and refreshing and nice crunch with the slaw or whatever veggie on top. read more

I'm so happy to have this place in my neighborhood! It's obviously family owned, service is friendly and food is delicious! It takes a minute to get some of the menu items but that's because they are being cooked fresh. I'm really happy the have now introduced daily specials. Tonight I had the Blackened Redfish tacos with slaw OMG so good! We also enjoy their biera tacos, street tacos and all the beans and sides are tasty. It's super casual you can eat in or get to go. Either way I'm getting a beer or house made margarita while they make the food. Love it! read more

Very reasonable prices on everything & big servings.Fresh ingredients. Also easy to get in parking lot. It's on corner of Conti & N.Broad streets . Dine in or Togo.

Amazing food and service! Highly recommend to anyone looking for a great casual bite.

Amazing tacos! Can't wait to come back! Sweet, personable couple! Convenient location.

If you like loud TVs, screaming children, long waits for food and drinks, and bland food, this is your place. The garbage cans in the dining area are a nice touch. read more

This is an absolute gem of a restaurant. I had brunch here a few days ago and I haven't been able to stop raving about it since - the drinks - perfectly balanced (not too sweet) , the food, super fresh with flavors that POP. Every single thing I tried on the menu (I was part of a group so I tried a LOT) was stunning. I genuinely could not recommend more highly. I'm just disappointed that I don't live closer or I'd be in all the time. read more

This is a wonderful place! I lived in Miami for 25 years and missed good Cuban food. Salsa has Mexican too. So it appeals to a lot of people's taste. I even went there for my birthday lunch. And I will go back again and again. I need to try everything on the menu. The people there are so nice too. Brian runs the place and is so friendly and helpful. And truly concerned to know if you are enjoying the food. The decoration is really nice and it is super clean too. read more

Come here regularly, really good carribean food. the birtia tacos and fried chicken sandwich are delicious.

I've been waiting for this spot to open. Had the opportunity to visit today. Ambiance is festive and modern. The staff were very sweet and attentive. I think I just found my new favorite neighborhood taco spot. They offer a full bar, specialty cocktails and flavorful drinks. I tried all of the beans and rice. Lime rice was my fave. There's a red bean and black bean(v) option, both were delicious. The rice and peas dish was full of flavor. The kids quesadilla was the perfect portion for my picky eater. Queso with chips is the best in the city if you ask me. I only tried the steak street tacos. Nice size portions, steak was cooked to perfection, no chewy pieces. The tortilla even tastes seasoned. For drinks we opted for Jarritos, they had all the flavors to choose from. I will definitely be back for taco Tuesday just for the hell of it or any day when I'm in the mood for tacos. read more

Everything is delish! My faves were birria queso sandwich (the birria tacos are great, too, but the sandwich is next level!) and spicy mezcal cocktail. I also loved the green salsa and will try the others on my next visit, olé! read more

Their Cuban sandwich was sooo good and the steak one as well! I hope I'll be able to go back someday soon! The interior was very clean and the service was great too! read more

Caught a movie at the Broad Theater yesterday and ate at Salsa afterwards. Wow! They just opened in January. I ate here about 3pm on a Sunday and there were lots of people eating there even at that odd time. I'm a sucker for a good Cuban sandwich so this is what I got for my first meal here. Probably the best Cuban I've ever had and I've had some great ones, especially in Ybor City in Tampa. Lots of friendly staff working and the food came out hot and fast. You can view the steam table where they keep all their hot items and the various meats looked delicious. Can't wait to go back to try the birria which was calling me. Salsa is close to me and will be somewhere I eat at often! Highly recommended read more

Waited for our second visit to post a review. Great spot for Mexican or Cuban food. Made to order. Friendly staff and the restaurant is very clean. Will be back for more! read more

Customer service is amazing. I felt like I was being served in a relative's home. Food is magnificent!! The best Black beans I have had so far in NOLA.. not too spicy, but very creamy.. and pork combo. Oh.. large portions and very tasty I don't remember what this place looked like before; but it is open with lots of natural light, bright and colorful. I will definitely be back. It's on the corner near Santos automotive. read more

Wonderful food! We tried four different things. All were awesome. The staff is very friendly. Margaritas were great, too.

Delicious food, great service, and really nice atmosphere. Strongly recommend this charming little place!

I never leave reviews. But this place was so amazing that I broke my rule. We got two margaritas, chips and queso, steak tacos, and birria tacos. Seriously blown away. Everything was great. Yall... come here ASAP. read more
