Super disappointed with the service. As someone who has grown up with Caribbean food, this was overpriced and not authentic.

Our server was really sweet besides the fact that she charged us $6 for water that she offered in the first place. Please inform guests than you charge for 4oz of water.

Ate there yesterday while in town. Sat down and immediately the server asked us if we had any questions about the menu. We asked for a couple minute to look over the menu, and were then given the smallest "glasses" of water I have ever seen. Maybe held a half of a cup of water. I guess to upsell beverages? We order chicken and chorizo enchiladas, MP ceviche and guacamole. Enchiladas(?) were some kind of open faced soggy quesadilla type arrangement with beans and rice piled alongside and cold plantains. Chicken slabs on tortillas and a pile of chorizo. Unappetizing to say the least. MP ($22!) ceviche was about 2 ounces of chopped up snapper that may have spent 5 minutes in lime juice than tossed in pico de gallo. No plantains or romain lettuce in sight (as was described on menu) just tortilla chips and duritos doused in green salsa. Guacamole seemed to be made with frozen avocado along with more doused chips and Duritos Needless to say we hardly ate anything. Waiter could care less, just took our plates and delivered the bill.

We really heard good things about this place and it looked amazing. We spoke with a hostess and put down a reservation and she said it'll be about 10mins and we'll call you when a table is ready. We said perfect and went around the block for a drink. Shortly after we showed back up and realized they were closed... an hour before they normally do. We waved through the window and told her we were ready and she turned us away. Confused we asked "do you not remember us from 10 mins ago? We made a reservation with you and you never called us" she said "noooo" and shut the door in our face. The owner seemed to be upset and told her to let us in. We sit down and she slams plates on our table and proceeds to huff and puff. We soon got very uncomfortable and decided to leave. Such a strange experience, however, despite the animosity, we wish them the best. Hopefully they're kinder to the next folk and make them feel welcomed. God bless.
I've been coming to Salsa's since 2006! One of my fav restaurants in downtown Asheville. Even though it's loud and very tight quarters, the food always kept me coming back. They recently changed their menu so I ordered something new to me, the "Carne Azada quesadilla." The quesadilla seemed like an afterthought as it was balanced atop a giant selection of delicious accoutrement like black beans and rice and veggies. But the quesadilla was filled with huge pieces of broccoli that had incredibly woody stems. Even if the stems has been soft, a piece of broccoli couldn't fit in your mouth. I don't know why they wouldn't chop it up before they put it in the quesadilla! But as it was, the broccoli stems were so thick and so woody that it was impossible to bite through them. It really ruined the quesadilla as it was basically inedible. I also am very resentful that they charge for water. Both stars earned in previous visits.

The atmosphere is nice and food was good. However, my partner has an Avocado allergy and we let them know before hand. We then recieved a dish that had Avocado and our waitress (who was really nice and frustrated on our behalf) took it back to the kitchen. When it came back we asked if the Avocado had been wiped off and we were reassured that it wasn't. My partner continued to enjoy the food but when he was done he noticed that there was a small bit of Avocado on his steak and chips. He's severely allergic and his throat closed up and began to itch within 5 minutes of leaving the restaurant. Which means that the Avocado was in fact wiped off the plate when instead the entire plate should have been remade...

My friend had been here before and loved her food, so when I came to town, she wanted to take me. Sadly, it was a bit of a disappointment and seemed like a rip off to me. The servers were very friendly, so that was good. The dining area was kind of small, but there was some outdoor seating too. Two of us ordered the Mexican Chilaquiles and one the Jerk Chicken. The Mexican Chilaquiles was supposed to come with chicken, chorizo and egg along with queso blanco, avocado, beans, rice and plantain for $28 (see menu pic). Not a bad price getting two different meats and egg. Well, when they came out they only had a small chorizo patty... Maybe about 3oz, no chicken or egg. We began eating without inquiring because we were really hungry and the waiter was already gone before we realized items were missing. The items from the dish that we did receive on our plate were tasty. When the waiter came back by, he seemed surprised there was no chicken or egg, so went to ask about it. Upon returning, he said he was told we were given the wrong menu and the chicken and egg only come with the dish at lunch time... This didn't make any sense to us; typically meals are larger at dinner than lunch AND we were still charged the $28 (for basically 3oz meat and some beans, rice and veggies) even though we were missing main items of the dish! I was also disappointed that the plantain portion was only about 1/6 of a whole plantain. On my friend's previous visit, she got half a plantain. She had the Jerk Chicken dish this time and said it was bland... Tasted like it didn't have any seasoning at all! She said if this meal was her first impression, she would not have come back. The bathroom was clean.
