“We had a great time the hostess might have forgotten about us which was a little bit disappointing but I am rating 5 starts because of the waitress Yudith (I hope I am spelling her name right) she was so pleasant, fast and made sure everything was done right. She recommended a delicious drink and got our food order quick.Had the steak quesadillas for appetizers delicious and I had the Argentinian steak with rice and red pinto beans cooked to perfection.Parking: The parking is a bit small the place gets full quick so if it's a Saturday or Sunday it might be an issue to find parking“

“Traveling from out of state and was brought to Salsa Salsa and I was AMAZED by my experience! They have an extensive selection of margarita flavors and a fabulous and fresh menu. Our group had ordered a traditional margarita, a black cherry margarita, and their seasonal "shamrock margarita" all of which were delicious and perfectly balanced in flavor. The staff was knowledgeable and a joy to interact with. The owner Chris took the time to chat with us and brought out many hot sauce flavors for us to try and gave us his recommendations. Our server Justin was friendly and attentive. I can tell this is an establishment run with passion and pride... Will definitely return next time I'm in town!“

“Deanna provided exceptional customer service with a genuine smile and attentiveness. Her friendly demeanor and willingness to go the extra mile made my experience enjoyable and stress-free. She truly stands out in delivering top-notch service such as being very knowledgeable about the menu, as well as making my family and I feel very welcomed.“

“They moved to a bigger and better spot. Super clean and vibrant. Birria Tacos are busssssinnnn. Beef and cheese empanadas are sooo good and light. Birria Ramen is packed with so much flavor and the size is just enough for one person. Very good pricing too. I was able to try a lot of their menu for under $30. As someone who travels for work and need a place that is quick and easy but great flavor THIS PLACE IS A MUST. Don’t sleep on it. Will be back a couple more times before I head back home. ???Wheelchair accessibility: A lot of room to move around.“

“I ordered the Al pastor Mexico taco trio and a couple of beef tacos tonight 12/02/23. The food was delicious!!! The hot sauces both green and red.... delicious!! I ordered for take out and the order was ready quickly. The business is easily recognized as you drive up and passed. The place is clean and has a few tables for sitting down for a meal if you choose. I will certainly order from them again and I would recommend to anyone to give them a try! Well done ?“

“Never do I give a 5 star review without meaning it…….The manager being actively apart and on top of this team is what makes this location the best one I’ve visited out of many.It’s the service that matters most with chilis. They nail it here. Thanks manager with brown hair late 40’s/50’s male, too bad I didn’t get your name. Keep it up“

“We ordered catering from Salsa Salsa Burrito Bar for about a dozen or so people. Everything was delicious. We couldn't finish all the food on the day of the party and it was just as delicious the next day. My mouth is watering now thinking about it.“

“They're doing "Wing Wednesdays" now. We've been going there for happy hour house margs and wings. Their hottest flavors are Habanero Lime and El Diablo. Our first time ordering these, we were asked about our tolerance for spice, and the waitress explained that enough people order the very spicy wings and then send them back, complaining that they're "too spicy". She was being diligent. 1. If you go out somewhere and order something spicy with "Diablo", "Nuclear" or "Inferno" in the name, it's a clue. It's going to be spicy. Use the ranch dressing or the onion sauce, ice water, what gave you. Cry into your napkin if you must. But have the basic decency not to make your poor decision the kitchen's problem. 2.) There is "macho contest" spicy and "flavorful spicy". The first just pretty much hurts and you can't taste much because the nerves in your mouth are trying to shut down. The second is actually an impressive balancing act and the addition of sweet ingredients like honey and sugar can amplify the perceived effect of spicy peppers. Those things being said, the Habanero Lime wings seemed spicier than the El Diablo wings. Habanero Lime had a forward citrus presence and was very good! El Diablo wings were smokier and while very spicy, had a flavor that we enjoyed more and at no point did it leave us desperate for cold drinks. The wings are winners! And the house margaritas are excellent too! If you don't care for wings, everything else on the menu is great. Whether I choose fajitas, a burrito, tacos or salad, the food tastes like it is freshly prepared and doesn't feel heavy. They might have the best salsa on the whole island. Casual and vibrant ambience, and in seasonable weather, the sliding doors are open and there is plenty of outdoor seating. Go enjoy!“

“Ordered via UberEats, got the cheese jalapeno pupusas and bean pupusas, veggie burrito and shrimp wrap for my Pops. Pops loved the wrap and Maranon drinks were yummy!! I wish the veggie burrito was tastier but it just tasted...healthy not savory. Also, I did get a bad case of diarrhea BUT I think that was just my body reacting to the jalapeno and sweet Maranon juice mixed together. Won't do that again lol I'll b back for the taco salad cuz I missed that one!!“

“We were there on Wednesday night. They were a bit busy and our waitress Samantha really handled everything well we didn’t even have to ask for refills on soda she read our minds and the Casamigos margarita she suggested was amazing. She asked us to do a survey for her but we paid cash so she said no worries with a smile. We wanted you to know just how great she was thank you chilis“

“I'm sitting in Del Fuego as I write this as I eat my complimentary chips and salsa. Sal our waiter is amazing he knows everything on the menu and is willing to change the regular menu items to accommodate our tastes I ordered the taco of the month which is so delicious it should be added to the menu. The fries are crispy and some of the best I've had anywhere. We are also enjoying a chimichanga which is loaded with filling and deep fried to perfection.“
