Salsa Latina - Albany

My family and I grabbed a meal here because this was the only place in the area where there's no long line of people. I thought we would be disappointed because of the reviews, and well, the number of people dining in. But the service was great and thefood was great! I think it's just a matter of what you order. The quesadilla was delicious. I'm gonna order that again here nexttime.

Excellent Mexican food. I had the tacos de carnitas. The flavor was amazing and they had just the right little bit of crispiness to the meat. My wife also really enjoyed her fajitas. Everything that we had was very flavorful and tasty. I willdefinitely be back.

2nd visit. First visit was 5 star amazing so came back for a second visit. The 2nd visit wasn't very good. I ordered carnitas. Only 4 pieces of pork came with the order, and no onions, and the pork didn't taste the same as we had on our firstvisit. The rest of the meal was fine. The other person in my party ordered iced tea. The iced tea tasted terrible, tastedlike mold. I ordered a soft drink that was fine but was never offered a refill. Chips and salsa came late after we hadordered, and was small in portion and was never offered more chips. Our waitress was friendly when we came but went off shifthalfway through our meal and no other waitress was assigned. We waited 20 minutes for our check and was told our credit cardpayment could not processed until the staff called the waitress that went off shift and get a code from her. Another 10 minuteswent by until we finally paid our bill. Our first visit was fantastic, this visit fell short. I hope this visit was a one timeoccurrence on a bad day.

The frozen Margaritas were excellent and $8.00. The food is nicely spiced and served hot. My only negative was the steak fajita as the meat was on the tough side. Stay with the chicken. Overall a nice place, beautiful Mexican art inside, including thetabletops. Friendly staff. Our waiter was Jose. Thanks!

Great food and friendly service. Can't wait to go back.
