Salsa's - Asheville

Where to begin? Let’s start with the positives. You get A LOT of food in your meal, the margaritas (ordered the jalapeño cucumber) were delicious and refreshing, our server was friendly, but that’s really where it ends. We got the steak fajitas and they were super over cooked (like the meat was beyond well done) and not seasoned at all. They also didn’t come out with any chimichurri that was mentioned in the description. As someone who grew up in a Spanish family, I had no idea you could make Spanish rice and beans that were more flavorless than plain white rice, but apparently you can. The plantains were underripe and overcooked. What makes it worse is fajitas in a Mexican restaurant costing $29!!! Like I said the portion size was large, but for how unseasoned they were I would’ve rather had less for less money. The giant platter also only came with 3 tortillas, so we asked for an extra side of tortillas because you need at least 8-10 for the size of the platter. They only brought out THREE MORE and charged $5 for them??? For small corn tortillas?? Yes, we did eat the meal because we hadn’t eaten since breakfast (went to Salsas for dinner) and there was a wait at other restaurants but will absolutely never again frequent or recommend unless you’re only going for one margarita and eating elsewhere.

Delicious food! Very flavorful but a LOT of food. Glad we didn’t get an appetizer! But the pork empanadas and the chicken quesadillas were delicious as well as the made from scratch Margarita! It’s the best I’ve had but a little on the sweet side in my opinion. Overall service was great and food delicious! Also a very small restaurant so not much seating.

Salsas has gone mostly Mexican. No longer a complex carribean fusion of flavors. Sad to see it decline after so many good years.

Great food with authentic flavors. Fresh and a variety of items on plates; beans, rice, salads, plantains, avocado, and so much more. The guacamole is superb. For lunch or dinner with nice sized portions. Outside patio is in a side alley that transports you to Latin America. Parking: Located downtown, it's street parking, and there are several parking garages nearby if needed.

Shout out to Melissa who was an excellent server, friendly very accommodating. Shout out to Joaquin, the chef, who made a delicious, well presented dish and melting pot of flavors. The slow cooked pork was amazing, salsa’s were so flavorful, plantain were delicious. It’s now our fave Mexican restaurant in Ashville. Having been exposed to Tex-Mex living in Dallas, this is a refreshing and flavorful combination. My boyfriend who lives in Greenville SC will drive (1 hr one way) to eat at Salsa’s. Great food!
