"Strip mall Mexican on NC-55"…read more Came here for lunch on a Sunday. This is next to Planet Fitness in a giant strip mall-- it's not especially noticeable unless you come up close. The place had tables on either side and was bright. The menu was along the wall, but not descriptive-- no prices listed but just categories of food (e.g., "torta", "quesadilla", "burrito" and the like). A very young person was at the register too just patiently waiting for us to order. I got a barbacoa torta and my dining partner got a chicken burrito and a Jamaica drink. We sat outside since it was a beautiful day (also, there was a kid in the restaurant playing video games and coughing a ton)-- there were a few tables in the shade, thankfully. They brought our food out in maybe 10 minutes or so. Sadly, I would say my torta was disappointing. The barbacoa was not very saucy or flavorful. There was a block of cheese in the middle, and I don't remember there being many jalapenos. I added some salsa to try to give it more flavor. In contrast, my dining partner LOVED her chicken burrito, saying it was even better than what she gets at Taqueria Vaquita. Her drink was also really good-- sweet but not too sweet. Price was so-so... for just the two of us, it was $42 with tax and tip. Certainly not "cheap" Mexican, but not crazy. I want to give it 3 stars, but given my dining partner really liked her burrito, I'll go to a 4.

We walked in to an open seating room and on the left, if you go out the door they gave a very cool outdoor roof area. You order and then go to your seat until its ready.

One of the other servers was on their lunch break and they were eating in a booth. Our server sat with her even when we were attempting to order or pay.

As the town grew in both population and size, I feel like many other Mexican restaurants popped up around Salsa Fresh, and it had been some time before I made a return. I'd say that the other spots have tastier and more authentic grub, but Salsa Fresh's prices and nostalgic vibe cannot be overlooked. You walk up to the counter when you come in to order your food, and you dine in a relatively modest dining room. The vibe definitely gives me an early 2010s feel. My first visit here I ordered their California burrito with chicken. I thought this was just okay, the burrito ratios seemed a bit wonky with a lot more tortilla then anything else. The interior of the burrito was a bit bland on its own, especially the chicken. It could've used either some more seasoning or some char from the grill, that would've taken it up a notch. I decided to try something different on my second visit. If you go on a Saturday, one of their specials are their spicy pork tacos. I was intrigued, and decided to give it a try. I was a bit confused when they brought my plate over because all of the sides were on my plate, accompanied by two rolls of tin foil. I soon realized that the whole tacos were in the tin foil, never seen that before! Usually Mexican restaurants will just put the tortillas in the tin foil to keep it warm and to prevent it from drying out, but they put the whole taco inside! The plate came with beans and rice. The best thing was the pork, it was actually packed with flavor and spice. The tortilla needed to be put on the grill, and to be quite honest, didn't seem to be the freshest. Perhaps the juice from the pork soaked into the soft tortilla shell and turned it to a mess. The rice and beans were a bit disappointing to my tasting - I think I just expect more bold flavors and Salsa Fresh's flavors are more mild. They also have a salsa bar for the complimentary chips that they give you. Their homemade salsas were pretty good, especially this roasted tomato one that they had, that one was my favorite. My meal also came with some queso so the chips were great for that as well. I forgot to mention, both meals seen above were less than $13, with the burrito being under $9. I feel this is Salsa Fresh's biggest selling point, it is tough to beat those prices. Big brands seem to be giving you less food for more money, so I can certainly get on board with a local business offering affordable food to the community!
