Ordered skirt steak tacos and one of them had a rubber piece in it, looked like a piece of intestine so I brought it back to them and they claimed it was normal (which I know it isn’t I’ve been ordering there for years) so I asked them if I can have different tacos cause I wasn’t eating the rest, came back to a single taco, had to ask again for the other ones cause I thought they would just remake a new order. Didn’t even apologize or nothing, felt very disrespectful. After working next door to them for more than 5 years I thought they would be a little more respectful than that. Hate leaving a bad review since the food has been great but lack of customer service is why I don’t see myself coming back.

The word "hidden gem" is throw around often in the foodie world. So often enough, that it's almost annoying when people use it because when you go to the business's Yelp page they have 10,000+ reviews. Lol. Well, it's obviously not hidden very well is it? Anyway, Salsas 4 Taqueria IS a hidden gem, but hidden in plain sight...Atmosphere/Appearance: Set right in a old-looking plaza with a state credit union, a regular bank and a learning center of sorts is this gem. The outside just doesn't look like much and the sign isn't too elaborate either. There is parking out front of course since it's in a plaza so there's nothing to worry about. Once inside it's just like a traditional Mexican spot. Dimly lit, colorful walls painted with the colors of the Mexican flag, cheap wooden chairs and exposed brick. It's exactly what you want to see from a place like this.Service: I've never eaten inside the restaurant because I always order online. This place doesn't even have its own website because they don't need it. You can order online through various services, but I personally go through Yelp. So I just go in, give my name and my order is usually ready.Food: So on their menu is something I've never seen before called a tlayuda. It's a handmade dish in traditional Oaxacan cuisine, consisting of a large, thin, crunchy, partially fried or toasted tortilla covered with a spread of refried beans, asiento (unrefined pork lard), lettuce or cabbage, avocado, meat (usually shredded chicken, beef tenderloin or pork), Oaxaca cheese, and salsa. Tlayudas are typical of Oaxaca and receive their name thanks to the particular texture of the tortilla. Unlike a soft tortilla, like those we usually see at taco stands or in the store, tlayudas are usually larger, heavier, and more consistent than a soft tortilla. They offer 4 types and I went with the Guelaquetza Tlayuda which is protein heavy filled with carne asada, chorizo, and al pastor. This this is SO DENSE and so delicious! I'm 5'9", 260 pounds and I could only eat half of this thing. It was so filling and I LOVED IT. It's the only thing I've ever eaten from here. Lol.Value: The Guelaquetza Tlayuda is $18.00 and 100% worth it. Period.I loved this place! It's nearby to where I live so I plan on paying this place many more visits in the near future!

This is a regular take out for us. Everything we have ordered has been delicious. They make your food to order. My favorites are the red snapper taco, the Baja fish taco and the portobello taco Supreme.

Ordered three asada tacos and chips and queso. Asada was tough, chewy and had a weird flavor we couldn't quite identify, the chips weren't fresh, and the queso seemed like the stuff you get pumped into your nachos at a high school concession stand. Will not be back, Tacos Mi Nachos in Meriden is supreme.Also, it was $23, which is ridiculous.

Friday evening, the wife was in the mood for Tacos, and I did not want to go to the Mexican restaurants we usually go to - not that they are bad, but I wanted to try something different. We wanted authentic Mexican tacos. After a Google search, we decided to go here, to "Salsas 4 Taqueria" for dinner. We were going to eat there at the restaurant, but it was like a sauna inside. Seriously need to get/fix Air Conditioning not only for customers, but your staff is going to overheat in there. That is really the only bad thing... That, and they sell Coke A Cola products, which I'm not a fan of.The staff was friendly and greeted us promptly, answering our questions in regards to the menu.After ordering, we were told the food would be ready if a little bit, to which I replied to take their time as I would rather have quality over speed.The prices are reasonable. The food tasted very fresh. It would have probably been even better if we ate it there, but again, it was sooo hot inside. We had the tacos. I had 3 ground beef Taco Supremes and wife type individual had one Baja Fish and the other was a chicken taco.The tacos came with a couple/few sauces that added to the flavor.Fix the A/C and swap out the coke for something less political and you really have something there.Overall, we liked this place and will be back.Update (8/14/2021);Returned here and tried the Philly Steak Burrito and it was very good. Staff was nice as usual...

Delicious tacos and churros. Highly recommend. The chorizo, beef Tinga, and Baja fish tacos were all great. Baja fish taco by far the best out of the 3. Churros were also very good. Great customer service and very affordable. I'll be back often.
This spot is a very small restaurant with little seating. We ordered the fish tacos and the shrimp tacos pretty good but need little more seasoning. The elote corn and flan was pretty good as well!! The thing was we went there on a hot summer day and the inside was so stuffy and humid they didn't have ac on and limited fans on that it was impossible to sit inside! We ended up taking our food to go

Best burrito I’ve ever had. It was bigger than my head. Churros were bomb too.

Based on the reviews, it looks like I made a mistake getting a burrito and not tacos. Burrito was almost entirely rice
Seth Mastrocola
This place is PHENOMENAL. Perfect for a lunch break or a quick bite to eat if passing thru town. The burritos are packed tightly and chilled until golden brown on the outside, locking in all the flavors and juices for your first bite!Chips are on the house. Don’t forget your classic drink.I will absolutely be going back to this establishment perhaps every week.
