What People Are Saying About Salsa A La Salsa

In Short – This long, narrow space and toasty fireplace see a daily rush of office workers and foodies out for a quick, tasty lunch. Bright, provocative art from Lake Street's Trujillo gallery hangs above the booths on exposed-brick walls. The food is traditional Mexican with a bit of flair, bedecked with queso fresco and savory sauces. Examples include pupusas--cheese-stuffed masa pancakes topped with pico de gallo--and Devil Mary Chicken Wings in a slow-burn pepper sauce.

One of my favs
by realmeal
If you're flexible with your time and can enjoy a meal you waited too long for with an empty soft drink, this is a great bet. I recommend the The Amigos Enchiladas, though I've had great chimis too. I go to Salsa's often, so I've learned that it's best to go when it's kind of empty (they get overwhelmed easily).
- Pros: Enchiladas
- Cons: bad service

Fun and relaxed
by bookcluber
I went with my book club. We enjoyed the slow pace of the evening and spent several hours chatting, in addition to eating and drinking. No one tried to rush us from our table or constantly keep us ordering. The total bill was around $30 a person for a three and a half hour experience. The margaritas were great (and strong!) We're not lightweights, but no one had more than two. Everyone enjoyed their food although be aware there are side dish choices and if you don't specify, they will automatically bring you rice and beans. Our server was very nice and we enjoyed trying to speak Spanish with her. I am going back with my husband.
- Pros: Food, price, relaxed atmosphere
- Cons: Parking

Third Strike, They're Out
by speaklesswritemore
Too bad. I actually like the food but last night was my third and last visit to Salsa a la Salsa. Three times I've enjoyed my food but three times I've had problems with my bill. All three times I've left with that funny little feeling that someone was trying to rip me off. On my first visit, my bank account was charged $6 more than what I signed for. I didn't realize it until a week later when I checked my bank transactions. Fortunately, my bank disupted the charge and I didn't pay the overcharge. On the second visit, my detailed bill totaled approximately $26. Silly me, I handed the waitress my Visa card. She asked me to sign a slip for approximately $32. Sure, I caught it. Oh, she apologized but I still felt "almost cheated." Again. Last night I asked for a little more sour cream and salsa because the tiny dollop on my quesadilla was not sufficient. Guess what? The detailed bill indicated "extra chips" and "extra sour cream." ???? The waiter explained that he HAD to charge for the extra sour cream and salsa. He changed words on the bill to indicate "extra picante." Had he told me that when I ordered the extra, I would've accepted it. He made no mention of it until I questioned the bil. AGAIN. Last night's unfortunate dispute could've been avoided had there been sufficient sour cream on the platter! After three visits and three overcharges, I won't return.
- Pros: Good food
- Cons: Being overcharged three times in a row
