love this place. Really nice interior design and amazing food. All of the workers are also very nice.

Food is gross. The Cubana torta is hot dog and some sort of jerky, take it off the menu, revolting. You walk in and it smells like someone just took a dumper. Fix your drains, its a restaurant read more

We ordered two burrito combos on DoorDash and then when the order was dropped off it was only two orders of tacos. Then we tried to call them to resolve (because the receipt on the bag was right) and they had just closed and no one was answering. I would not recommend this place. How do you mix up orders like this. I don't think I would recommend ordering takeout, get takeout from a different Mexican restaurant. read more

My best friend took me here and I went back a few weeks after with my boyfriend for his first time too lol To be honest, I was judging this place and thinking it wasn't going to be good based off the name and how it looked. It was giving American style tacos, a fancier taco bell vibe. I take everything back! Nothing wrong with American style tacos so don't come for me because I will eat those too occasionally! But I will always go for authentic tacos. BUT WAIT, THERE'S MORE. They offer 2 options! You can either get it American style or authentic lol this place is perfect for any taco lover. Here is the Google definition in case anyone was wondering. American style taco" typically features a hard shell, ground beef, lettuce, cheese, and often flour tortillas, while an "authentic taco" is usually made with soft corn tortillas, a variety of meat options beyond just ground beef, and simpler toppings like onions, cilantro, lime, and salsa. The birria tacos are already a favorite. That's my boyfriend's go to now. They give you 2 types of salsas and a green guacamole sauce as well which is my favorite. You also get a big cup of the consommé (juice/broth) to dip it in. I also have tried the green enchiladas and I was able to get steak as a substitute but there was an upcharge. I think it was either $2 or $3. That was delicious too along with the beans and rice. The inside is clean and aesthetically pleasing. I wasn't sure if we had to go up to the front to pick up our own food since it's a seat yourself and no host or waiters but they brought out our food to us every time and everyone has been so friendly there. The only thing I wasn't a fan of was their horchata. It wasnt baddd but it's definitely different to me. All I can say is, I think if you like the Klass horchata (mix drink bag that you buy from the store to make at home, just add water lol) then you'll probably like it. This place is perfect for me and my best friend especially because she likes American style tacos and I prefer authentic tacos and we both enjoyed our meal at the same restaurant :) Its a win win. read more

One week 2 tacos and a burrito was 13$ Two weeks later 3 tacos and a burrito with French fries, side of sliced avocado and sliced limes is $34 !!! Thru the drive through. I kid you not! I politely asked the young lady at the window twice if she was sure about the bill ? She said yes, I asked if their tacos went up in price recently she said No?? So idk you do the math, I will never go there again and yes their food is good BUT not for that price read more

My husband invite me tacos for dinner so we went there to eat and the person who took my order horrible actitude We was asking about tacos and she's was acting like smart woman mocking me , her name Samantha And my husband order 4 tacos and she give us only 2 , check your orders read more

Need to get the sewer gas issue fixed in the main entrance. So bad. Not good for a food establishment

Not good. Ordered chimichanga, smelled like burnt oil. Very sad for a burrito. Chips were good but entree was poor. Had to go to another restaurant to eat. Even left a nice tip (at time of ordering and payment). Would not recommend. Disappointing at spending almost $30 for chips, salsa, entree, and drink. Sad!!! read more

Too many inconsistencies, the food is good sometimes and sometimes it is trash and you don't get what you paid for. Save yourself the trouble and go to the Salsa Verde in Capentersville - they are way more consistent. The chef on Thursday's seems to cook diff than the chef on other days at the St Charles location. No thank you, Won't return. Wasted my money. read more

Just tried their new bowls so yummy!!! I had Salsa Verde steak asada. So much better than Chipoltes. read more

The horrible smell when you walk into the St. Charles Salsa Verde is like an outhouse. We thought the toilets had backed up. They said it was from the floor drains in the kitchen ....where they make the food. We lost our appetites. Why don't they get the drains cleaned out. read more

I catered on Saturday 5-3-25 for a Cinco/Derby party. The food and service were fantastic. The value was excellent. I will cater again when needed. Very nice people too. read more

Menu and packaging changed, not in a good way. The chips are now stale with barely half the portion of their previous chips, the tacos are sloppily packaged in soggy paper, the queso isn't as fresh or as flavorful. Luckily it doesn't seem like they changed their infamous salsa verde sauce but all the other changes are a shame. I'm all for restaurants making improvements and jazzing up their menu but in this case, don't fix what's not broken. read more

After reading some negative reviews I felt a bit worried about my experience but I had no issues at all. We walked in and ordered at the counter and then they brought out food to our table shortly afterwards. Service is very quick and friendly. I had the enchiladas verdes which came with a side of shredded lettuce and Mexican rice. Everything tastes very good and the portion size was hefty. The tables felt clean too. On Tuesdays they have a cheap taco deal too! read more

Salsa Verde - Enchiladas Verdes - Mexican Near Me - St. Charles, Illinois

Would not go here again. First off - 50 cent "fee" if you use a credit or debit card. Okay - I know many places are doing this. However, you are supposed to let the customer know of this somehow (I believe this is the law in fact). Sticker or note on the counter, register area, menu - somewhere. I saw none of that. $11.50 for one of the worst burritos I ever had. The content inside was so soft and "soupy like" that you could have stuck a straw thru the top or side, and "drank" the burrito contents. Try at your own risk. read more

This is a clean place and the people that work there are very nice ! We had steak burritos and that's exactly what we got ! It was a 10 in our book not like other restaurants which give you chopped up tiny little pieces of steak, almost like ground beef, or they mix it in with ground beef !! another thing other restaurants do is stuffed with lettuce and tomato and cheese and that's what you taste very reasonable in price ! Don't miss this one !!!!! read more

I like that they have a drive through but they should make sure to provide plastic silver wear as some people might eat in their cars. I like that they offer enchiladas mexicanas where they give you one of each (red, green, mole). I had chicken tinga. Served with rice and refried beans. I really enjoyed this meal. The elotes was not good. I would not recommend. It was super watery. Tasted like corn straight out of the can with Mayo on top. Staff was friendly. read more

The guacamole is liquidy, like green broth, and not as thick as a smoothie. More like a drink. Dipped the very brown chip in it, couldn't scoop cuz ya can't scoop a drink, and it dripped off. Threw away. The chicken burrito is nothing like authentic mex food in Arizona and New Mexico, so it's probably just the water here which is made for hot dogs and pizza. What it lacks in flavor it makes up for in size. Huge like Chipotle but without beans or cheese or onion or cilantro. It probably caters to suburbanites who want food like McDonald's for their kids. Cool if they found their population to feed and make $. Mi Casa has flavor. There is a divey place off 64 or north ave that has fantastic food! All the chicken was lumped on one end. 95% rice. Yeah, didn't think we'd notice? Catered event had consensus review. Never going back. read more

Salsa Verde you have lost my business. I have been going there for a long time and brought you much needed business during the COVID shut down. I go through the drive through tonight to get some frozen Margaritas to bring to a friends house for them to try. (New business for you I may add) and I'm told they only do regular to go margaritas no frozen. I asked her since when? She tells me a few days ago? I call bull crap! I don't know if this a real policy you came up with or if she didn't want to make them. Whichever you have lost my business. Glad to see you are doing so well you can lose a trusty customer when things are still not up to par. Plenty of other Mexican take out places around here. I'm more then happy to give my business to one of them. read more

Ordered out tonight from Salsa Verde. Easy to order, food was ready just as I arrived. Always easy to order from this gem of a local favorite. Now the dinner. Ordered the enchilada platter#3, both cheese. Perfectly seasoned and prepared as always, the beans and rice fresh and delicious. We've never had a disappointing experience eating in or ordering out with this fav. Reasonably priced, nice portions, very warm employees. Get over and try Salsa Verde! read more

Ordered lunch for work group. All orders came without error. Large portions, great flavor!

Are you kidding?! Ok. I'm just a guy who adores Mexican food. I worked for an airline that went all over the Mexican states for years. I've eaten al LOT of regional foods over that time. I have now found my go to comfort food in this place. Absolutely perfect. Kinda missing the goat, but lamb works for me too! Nobody can go wrong with this amazing place. And conchinita? You're not finding this locally anywhere. Worth every penny and minute to grab a dinner that is PROPER and RIGHT when it comes to amazing Mexican food. Thank you all for being here!! (Did I mention I'll need a gallon of consommé anytime I get a sore throat? How do I get that?!) amazing job to all who have brought us this place! read more

Sandi and I decided to give this fast food Mexican restaurant a try so we stopped in on a Sunday evening for dinner. We both decided on the taco salad. I chose the shredded chicken version; Sandi went for the beef model. They had more cooks than they had wait people. The counter person was doing double duty taking windows orders. She was friendly and helpful but spread too thin. Once we ordered the food we received the order rather quickly. I especially enjoyed the chicken taco salad after tasting my wife's beef salad. We weren't too sure what to do with the dishes. They didn't seem to have too much of a dessert selection. Overall I think that Salsa Verde was a great improvement over the Taco Bell that once resided here. read more

Walked in there and the place reeked of sewage! There was a caution sign in front of the restroom. Obviously there was some sewer backup! No customers were in there. I don't understand why it wasn't shut down! read more

Super delish. Super fast. Accommodating to diet requests. I'm vegetarian so I asked if they could just make rice & bean tacos with cilantro and onion, even though it wasn't on the menu and they obliged, no questions asked. Guacamole was fantastic. Will come back soon. read more

I've been to Salsa Street a few times over the years. I love that it's an independent taco restaurant. I love that when you can dine in, they have a salsa bar. There are plenty of salsas for all palates. I've done taco Tuesday here, I'm not much of a meat eater, but my husband says the steak tacos are definitely worth the price. I typically stick to vegetarian dishes. My favorite is the tosdada. I don't go for the grilled veggie dishes, more the bean and avocado dishes. The avocado tostadas are great. You get a lot of avocado, not guacamole, on top. I think they could use salt to pullout the flavor, also, raw onion would add a lot of flavor. My most recent trip was just an avocado tostada. The tortilla, which should be crispy, since it's fried, was soggy. That stunk since the crunchy and crispy texture makes a tostada for me. Again, it needed salt, either on the chip or on top. I will go back when I'm in the area, but Salsa Street is better enjoyed inside when you can season your food and add some flavor from the salsa bar. read more

Salsa Verde - Veggie tostada to go... - Mexican Near Me - St. Charles, Illinois

I've ordered multiple times over the last 4 years and they get my order wrong EVERY TIME I'm not exaggerating. Today my friends wanted to eat there so I ordered a chicken burrito and got a ground beef one!! I'm so done! They don't understand what your asking for. I specifically asked them to please try and get it right because they don't a lot and they still screwed it up. I will never eat there again. Hire people who know the language!!! We were heading out and took food home. I ate it because we were on a time crunch. Here's a picture of my CHICKEN burrito I give this place ZERO STARS!! read more

We were going to go someplace else but passed this adorable, freshly painted and clean looking little Mexican takeout place and turned around. We are now sitting outside and enjoying not only delicious guacamole and chips, rice water and Tamarind drink, but we also have the best treat ever: vegetarian and chorizo enchiladas and tacos coming! The sides are yummy and fresh. If the entrees aren't amazing I'll let you know... but let me tell you already I'm impressed and thrilled!! Great service, too! read more

A few years ago, it would have been unimaginable that a Mexican restaurant of this type would have labeled vegan options. But here we are and thank god at that. Salsa Verde doesn't have many vegan options (only 2 that don't require modification) but the vegan chorizo taco ($3) is cheap, delicious and nicely done. I really liked their soyrizo. The guacamole ($7) didn't impress, though, and felt under-salted and under-limed. It looked fresh but tasted like something you'd get out of a plastic carton at Jewel. I hope Salsa Verde will keep expanding their vegan options. As it stands, if you're looking for other vegan-friendly Mexican food in the west suburbs, check out Totopos in Naperville. read more

Good food and fast service. Order at the counter and they call your number to pick up. We ordered four tacos and elote served in a small mason jar. I ordered the tacos al pastor and chorizo; there could've been more meat. Compared to my friend's shredded chicken taco, I felt gypped on the meat on mine. I prefer the elote at Altiro Latin Fusion; the flavor is brighter and the kernels have better texture/crunch. Overall, the Salsa Verde elote had good savory flavor but a little soggy. I've been to the Yorkville and Oswego locations. Food tastes the same, but I prefer Oswego (former Panera) since it's closest to my house and it's the biggest/brightest. read more

Food was not up to par. Steak tacos were very tough. Corn tortillas were cold with the chicken and pork also. We ordered late so maybe that was it Will try again read more

I come here often. 2 - 3 times a month, food for four. Nothing ruins an experience like missing items from your bag, followed by a lack of responsibility for those missing items. Sometimes they make it right, sometimes I don't care enough to call or come back. But this time, they accuse me of lying. So yeah. I'm ticked. Also. How the hell did they try to charge me $9 for a rice and bean burrito. I'm not coming back here anymore. read more

Been to this location a few times, usually right before open (So manager/owner was there and you would expect the food to be fresh). Service is ok, but I don't feel welcome here like I tend to feel at most Mexican restaurants in general. Salsa has great flavor which is good considering it's the namesake of the business. The rest of the menu leaves a lot to be desired. Meat is usually lacking in flavor and the rice and beans you get from the meals are really subpar (especially the rice, why does it always look like it was microwaved in a cup?). Fortunately for them the salsa was their saving grace, but I'll consider a different Mexican restaurant next time I'm craving some tacos or burritos. I guess if you are from the area and don't know any better, it's not too bad. read more

We needed something light to not spoil dinner. It had to be quick and I wasn't feeling like a big franchise restaurant. Saw the bright green building with drive through and said, sure. All I ordered were 3 Mexican style tacos with shredded beef. Came in a Styrofoam burger container. I thought 'oh no, $11 for this? Smallish but double soft corn tortillas on each. It smelled excellent, and tasted like heaven. I'm not a fan of corn tortillas but flour would have ruined this dish. Unbelievable flavor! What a treat. I would highly recommend. Price was fair. read more

Salsa Verde - Fried ice cream mmmmmmmmmm - Mexican Near Me - St. Charles, Illinois

I'm very conflicted about this review. My wife loved her tacos al pastor, and we both agreed the beans and rice were very good. The sauces that came with the food were good as well and varied in flavor. My problem with the meal was my burrito. I began to eat it and it was all steak with a little bit of rice and veg. Just the way I like it. After I got half way through, it changed to all rice and veg. with almost not steak. It was like they forgot which way to wrap the burrito. I was loving the flavor of the steak, but to finish with bite after bite of rice and veg. was pretty tedious. read more

Absolutely ambrosial cuisine, especially when on the move. The structure of the building is that of an old Popeye's, meaning that it has a drive-thru. The wait was only about ten minutes for an absolutely divine, top-quality, three-taco dinner course. A second visit is an absolute must. read more

Yesterday we called to place an order for pick up ... very disappointing. Small quesadilla was only two one inch triangles without the chicken as ordered. Three cheese only enchiladas with no sides 9.00. The chicken taco did not consist of more than one teaspoon of filling... We were charged 40.00 for items contains one small teaspoon of meat in total. In comparison to previous orders, I have to say they have raised prices while lowering quality and esp. quantity. read more

-100 stars if possible... My husband and I picked up food tonight 2/22/22 around 6pm. When we got home I noticed my sides of cheese had mold on them. I contacted the restaurant and the lady who answered told me I had to bring back my food for a refund. I let her know I have a 4 month old and I'm not driving back food for a refund when it had mold on it. She put me on hold and came back and said she check the other food and only the cheese has mold so she can give me a partial refund unless I wanted to bring it all back. She said I could bring it back another day if today was to hard. I explained I wasn't saving molded food in my fridge to bring it back to her. I told her I have pictures I can send and told her I wouldn't trust eating any of the other food anyways. If they don't know how to properly store cheese, who knows what else is old in the restaurant. She pretty much told me that's all she can do so I let her know that this is a serious situation and you can get people very sick. I let her know I would make people aware of this on social media as well as contact the Kane country health department...she said "ok have a good night" read more
