Mexican Cuisine
If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

Fresh mexican and quick! Today was the 1st time my wife had eaten here and we were impressed w/how fresh everything is. Moes & Qdoba are not as good as this place! The owner Bill took the time to check on us several times! He told me that kids eat free on Monday's too!

This place has good food. I've eaten there twice and both times excellent. I don't think the place has been opened that long. Maybe not many know about it because the place was empty when we were there. If you haven't tried it, give them a try. I loved the tacos and the hot salsa.

I'm just going to come out and say it: I'm probably never coming back here again. We walked in at noon on a Thursday to a nearly empty dining area. We walked up to the counter, studied it briefly, and placed our orders. My wife got the two tacos, opting for one chicken and one shrimp. They really had a lot of meat options... Shrimp, chicken, ground beef, chicken and pork carnitas. I opted for the small burrito (Thursday's special at $5.00) with carnitas. With both got chips and queso and a soda. I was a little surprised to see that our total was right at $20.00... Until I saw that I got charged for a large burrito at $6.89 instead. I was about to protest, when I noticed a small crowd of about 10 people behind me. For some reason, Salsarita's had deemed two people enough to run a restaurant on Nich Rd at noon on a weekday, one of them being on break and still meandering around behind the counter. So I sat down and ate. And it was definitely a small burrito. The carnitas were definitely not very authentic... It was pretty much like eat unflavored soggy pulled pork. The rest of the burrito was pretty unflavored though... I had to grab some hot sauce from the counter just so I could stomach this bland tube of food. The chips were pretty tasty though... Still warm, with seasoning salt (never seen that before), and the queso was very flavorful. My verdict: Not far from Moe's, but without the saving grace of a salsa bar. If it ever comes to be that neither Chipotle, Qdoba, or Moe's no longer existed, I would still opt for Taco Bell instead.

If you like fast casual, you will love this place. It is very similar to the Moe's franchise, so much so that I thought someone was going to chant "welcome to Salsarita". If you haven't been to Moe's and don't know what it is like, it's southwester food version of a Subway. I ordered a burrito bowl. I chose chicken, beans, pico, corn and a lot of other things mixed into a bowl, for the price of $6.89. Every order comes with a helping of excellent guacamole. They have a taco special too, that I'll check out the next time that I visit. It's in an odd but unique location, beside Panara, in the Regency Shopping Center.

No booze yet but the foo more than makes up for it. Vast combinations of burritos and bowls and salads. The burheato is made with hot pepper sauce. According to my lunch date the "burheato is not the hottest sauce" but if you upload a video of you eating it you get a free shirt. So there's that. I had the saucy burrito and it was HUGE!!!! Like 2 pounds of huge delicious sauce covered burrito. Each meal is optional for the combo with chips, salsa/guac/queso, and a drink. They have a very good rewards/loyalty program too.

I am EXTREMELY DISAPPOINTED in this place. I've been here 3 times now and each time the quality of what I've gotten has gotten significantly worse. Tonight I ordered a salad. What I got was a measly little bowl that was barely the size of a side salad. I would really like an explanation from a manager or owner or whomever is in charge of this place. Seriously????????

Salsarita's is very similar to Chipotle and Qdoba, but not quite as good. I did like that they had tortilla pizzas, which I ordered and customized to my liking. I also noticed that they have shrimp for the burritos, tacos, etc. which unless I am mistaken, Chipotle and Qdoba do not. They have a huge dining room which means difficulty finding an open table would probably not be an issue. Now for a couple of things I did not like: (1) I was there just as they opened on a weekday and several tables appeared to have not been wiped down from the night before. What the hell? I was literally the second person in the door. In what universe would you open the doors for the day without the place being clean? The restrooms were clean on this particular day, so I'll give them that. (2) On a separate occasion, I noticed as the staff was building my burrito that several of the items appeared to be past their prime: dry-looking black beans, dry-looking pinto beans, etc. Maybe this joint just doesn't do the volume to replenish their pans of food very frequently, but I did not find the looks of it very pleasing. I would go back if I was in the area, but I would not necessarily be compelled to seek it out for a return visit either.

Great service and clean interior; however, both times I have been the chicken has just been ok. The rest of the ingredients of my burrito bowl were fresh, but it lacked flavor. If you want a less busy Mexican fast food restaurant go here. If you want better flavor go to Chipotle or Moe's.
(3)Travis W.
Food is pretty good. Eating area was large an clean. Prices are decent. A bit high for what you get. Chips were really good. Pros: chips are seasoned and delish, large meat selection including shrimp, simple menu, large clean eating area, still new so no wait Cons: no salsa bar, no view,
(4)Brittany D.
Their shrimp tacos are absolutely delicious. Steak tacos are so so. The first time I had the steak it was good and the times after that they were dry. Their chips are seasoned differently than any other place similar, but delicious nonetheless. Can't go wrong with their queso either.
(4)Ed W.
This place is very similar to Quote or Chipotle, and a great alternative to those places. The food was awesome, fresh made guacamole is quite good! The shredded pork burrito was also very tender. Clean and friendly service! Enjoy!

I heard an ad on the radio today on the way home from work and decided to give this place a try. I'm glad I did; it's pretty good. The atmosphere reminded me of a Qdoba or Moe's type restaurant, but the food options went beyond both. We decided to get the Thursday deal, $5 little burritos. They may be called "little" but they're quite filling. We also decided to try the Mexican pizza - and loved it! Two options for rice, a bean option, five options of meat (ground beef, steak, chicken, pork or shrimp), four kinds of salsas, queso, shredded cheese, lettuce, black olives, jalapenos, tomatoes, ranchero sauce, sour cream, and fresh made guacamole. Any way you stuff your burrito, this place is a nice place to get some fresh Southwestern food. Try it out.
(4)Anne S.
Pretty basic food here. It's clean but no salsa bar and the food is just so so. I would rather eat at Chipotle.
(3)Amanda F.
Really good! Great food and relatively inexpensive. Their queso is better than Qdoba's and Moe's.
(4)Dave S.
Sure, Salsarita's is a knock off Chipotle and/or Qdoba, but the veggies are very fresh and their chicken has much more flavor. Enjoyed a nice lunch at Salsarita's!
(5)Nick B.
Never go here without a Groupon deal, the food is overpriced and sub par quality. The food isn't as good (or as large) as other similar restaurants, and it's also more expensive. Simply put, not good.
(2)Emily B.
I've been here twice over the past month (thanks to vouchers from a local deal site), and I think it's pretty similar to Moe's in terms of price, quality, and environment. I like that the menu is very straightforward, easy to customize, and that there isn't an extra charge for guacamole. I don't like that some of the workers (but not all) automatically serve some chips and ask if you'd like salsa, queso, or guacamole when you haven't ordered them and it's an extra charge (the free chips and salsa at Moe's definitely win in that regard). Also, the pork is pretty greasy and the steak is thin and ragged. Overall, if you're looking to spend about $6 for a quick burrito or tacos, this is an ok option, but when I don't have vouchers, I'll happily spend a dollar or two more to go to Chipotle since their ingredients (especially the meat) are noticeably higher quality and they don't try to sneak in additional charges.

Once you go Salsarita's you won't go back - to Moe's, Chipotle, or Qdoba. Same concept but fresher and tastier. I was skeptical, "really, another fast casual burrito place?" But I was pleasantly surprised. Had a burrito with chicken, pico, rice, lettuce, jalapeño, and cheese and it was delish. Got the medium salsa for my chips - just enough kick and super fresh. Wife had the Quesarito, basically a burrito buried in queso (can't go wrong with that). And the kids meals come with queso and chips and a dessert doughnut hole dealy. We loved it so much we went back two days later. In sum, go. Especially if you have been a fan of the fast casual burrito genre. You won't be disappointed.
(5)Matthew B.
First time here & will definitely be back. Got a taco salad with queso & chips. Wife got a small burrito & barely finished it!
(4)William G E.
Went here on 8/11/14 first time. Very clean, laid out well. Menu is not real big and that's ok. Choose item (burrito taco quesadillas etc). Choose meat, nicer selection tan most. Great to see Shrimp! Add on from multiple choices. VERY please to get nice amount of meat choice. Quidoba afraid to give u much!!! Got Burrito bowl, was good. Wife had Taco bowl, real good. They will give other similar type shops run for money. Will go back and do recommend!
(4)Thien-Nam T.
Free guacamole! Fair prices. Free wifi and daily deals! Their large burrito is a good size and their taco salad bowl is crispy and fresh. It costs extra for fajita but they have a wide assortment of vegetables.
