Muchas Gracias! Excellent Mexican food. Food was fresh and spiced just right. Service was good. The chip came with a bean dip rather than salsa. I could licked the bowl clean! My only complaint would the size of the booths. They are a bit tight for larger people but there are plenty of tables too. If you want good authentic Mexican, this place fits the bill. read more

Las Salsas - Mexican Near Me - Marion, North Carolina

My family and I ate here yesterday and everything was superb. Waitress and staff were super helpful and friendly. The food was outstanding and the prices were very reasonable. We will definitely come here to eat again when we come back to see Mt Mitchell in the future. read more

Absolute gem in Marion NC, being a McDowell County native, I have to say this is the best Mexican food in the county! Salsa bar is great, menu is huge, which can be overwhelming for some.. But all of the food is wonderful. The owner is a great guy, and runs a spectacular business. read more

This place was the end of our day we needed. The food came in a timely fashion, excellent service and the food was so delicious. So much flavor. Absolutely spotless and taking the the pandemic very seriously. We really appreciated that. I heavily recommend going here if you are in the area and especially if you are starving! read more

We stopped here on the way back to eastern NC from Asheville area, and were expecting typical NC Mexican food (which is to say, alright), but were very pleasantly surprised!!! This place is a gem! I thought I would never have amazing Mexican food again after leaving Austin, TX but Las Salsas has restored my faith. The prices are so reasonable I just about cried. I never get fajitas because they're usually super expensive but Las Salsas not only had exciting varieties of fajitas, they were also a great price for lunch or dinner!!!! My husband got the carnitas and boy howdy it was freakin' delicious. And they have a fun salsa bar that elevates the flavors. Bless up y'all! read more

We were seated immediately and had chips and bean dip delivered to our table almost immediately. I had the Enchiladas Mexicanas. The beef was very tender and delicious. The regrows beans had a slight kick to them, which I really liked as well. My husband had the steak chimichanga and said it was also very good! We Would highly recommend this place for a delicious night out for Mexican cuisine. read more

Great price! Good food! Felt comfortable sitting inside - booths are practically enclosed, even with glass between bar area and booth, all the way to ceiling. All staff wore masks. Obvious social distancing. read more

The food quality is good to above average. The service, for togo, leaves a lot to be desired. Order 2 orders of fajitas and the lettuce, tomato, guac were left out. I had to make a second trip and was given and incredibly hard time and virtually no lettuce, tomato or guacamole. read more

Excellent food quality and quantity was great. The guacamole was best I've ever had. Consider opening one in Concord/Charlotte area. Lucky find on our travels. read more

We were going for Pizza but, it was closed. I really wasn't in the mood for Mexican regardless we had Mexican and we all were glad we did! Las Salsas was excellent! Service was exceptionally fast and very accommodating. Food was outstanding!!! Probably the BEST Mexican I've ever had and thanks to another persons review I wasn't disappointed when I got the Loco Pollo Burrito was huge and great value for your money! We'll definitely be back and tell all our friends traveling through NC! read more

Las Salsas - Las Salsas Loco Polo Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Marion, North Carolina

I was up in the mountains for a few days and on the way home, ran across this place right before exiting onto Highway 40. I am so glad I did because this may be the best Mexican Restaurant I've ever eaten at. I was pleasantly surprised to see a salsa bar, which always a bonus in my opinion. They have a ton of mixed drinks to choose from and the beer they were advertising on their wall (and have specials for on Mondays) was one of my favorite state breweries, Catawba (White Zombie, Farmer Teds), but that's a whole other review. Their menu was vast, with items I'm not used to seeing repeated on most of the menu's I've seen in other places. Also, the prices were dollars lower per dish, on average, than I'm used to seeing in Charlotte. It was very affordable. They had a larger than usual selection of vegetarian dishes, many of which would work for a vegan if you asked to hold the sour cream and cheese. I bring this up because a lot of Mexican Restaurants I've tried offer one thing, veggie fajitas. This place had a handful of options, and I'm not talking about the stupid "vegetarian" section where it's all just bean and/or cheese versions of the usual. They actually had vegetables in their dishes. One other thing, the veggie dishes don't automatically come with mushrooms! That's HUGE for me. I was thinking, "great beer, great menu, low prices, wow! Loving it already... now lets see the entrees." Since I am not 100% vegan and eat seafood, I had a shrimp fajita burrito with no cheese and no sour cream. I was a little worried, maybe irrationally, that the shrimp might suck since we are far from the beach, like that matters, but man, they did not disappoint. Not only was the dish tasty, but all of the entrees were plentiful and not a single person could come close to finishing their plate. This is not unusual... but for the prices, I was expecting less than the average plate, but ended up with more. It tasted delicious and everyone at the table agreed that this is a "must frequent" place to eat when in the area. The service was good. No complaints. The waiter didn't talk much, which isn't a bad thing except that and I didn't even know about the salsa bar until someone at the table pointed it out to me. However, I'm not knocking the place because we had a quiet waiter. I kind of prefer that, actually. I only wish they were closer to me. I don't know if I would drive one and a half hours here for dinner one day, but I am certainly considering it. A road trip for great food might just be in the future, or it can at least be extra motivation to take more trips out west more often. My girlfriend is always trying to get me to go to Asheville for a day, and with Las Salsas on the way, now she doesn't have to break my arm to go! read more

The restaurant is immaculate, the salsa bar extraordinary, the food/cocktails are excellent, atmosphere is the best in the area, and the service is stupendous!!! The prices...absolutely reasonable! My husband and I enjoyed it tremendously! read more

First time here. Excellent stop after a day of kayaking on Lake James. The place is spotless and all servers are wearing masks. Delicious food and excellent service! The prices were lower than we would have paid for the same food in Asheville. House margaritas were excellent. We ordered a pitcher and were served a pitcher plus. 2 Fish wraps, chimichanga, cheese enchiladas, bean and cheese burrito, table quac" and rice. Total bill for four people? $57.00 read more

Awesome food. Especially love the shrimp soup, and siete mares soup. Excellent salsa bar. Burritos are definitely worth the money as well. I could eat here every day. read more

This restaurant is in Marion so the expectation should not be what it would be in Asheville, but nonetheless. Surly hostess and the waitstaff here is very uneven--they pretty much ignore you until you flag them down. Food okay and portions generous--excellent guacamole and mediocre meats in the Enchiladas California. Nachos were good but the ground beef mediocre. Bathrooms very clean but overall maybe not as clean as the restaurant could be. read more

WAS SO DELICIOUS!! I highly recommend for hungry hikers. Also we definitely stayed later than they were open so shoutout to the staff!

Meh.... Super loud environment. The food was typical Mexican food. Tables were sticky.

I ate here several times over a three week period. I have to admit I had fajitas each time, but they were great. Everyone else really liked their food too, plus the salsa bar. Got to say we all thought t was great. read more

This is a hidden gem in North Carolina! We absolutely love the food and the service! The Mexican food here is pretty authentic.

Watch out!!!!! Read your bill before paying it. The waiter added an appetizer and a side order thinking that I would not read the bill! The Guacamole was horrible :( NOT clean at all, the waiter was disgusting. I ended up leaving the store without eating. read more

This place has some of the worst service and food is hit and miss depending on what night it is. Tonight the lettuce looked like they raked it off of someone else's plate and threw some guacamole on it. The fajitas were not even sizzling and barley warm and veggies were non existent. We will not be coming back to this location anymore. read more

This is my second visit to Las Salsas and frankly, neither time has impressed me. Previously, I visited with a larger group and figured that the food must have been rushed. Today, I dined alone for dinner, as I'm in town for a class. The restaurant was light on patrons, but started filling up over the next 30 minutes. A very nice hostess seated me and gave me the choice of a booth or table. I chose a booth. As I sat down, I casually wiped off the food that remained on the seat, as to not have to wear it out on my clothes. My waiter came and asked what I would like to drink, to which I replied, "water with lemon". He cheerfully said okay and bright me back water (no lemon). Shrug. It happens and gratefully the water here doesn't taste bad. I was brought chips and bean dip to start. It was decent enough and I was hungry. The chips were firm and a touch oily, but edible. Little did I know this was going to be the best part of my meal. I ordered the Chicken and Cream Cheese Flautas. It literally was on my table in under 5 minutes, which shocked and frankly disturbed me a bit! I've never been served food that fast. I said "Woah" when the food was sat down. Well, turns out, my skepticism was valid. Although the presentation was acceptable, the flautas were only mildly warm, but oddly the cheese inside was melted. It screamed of a microwave job. The tortillas were soft and soggy and everything blended together into an unappealing mush. I tried to eat as much as I could stand, mixing it with the bits of strange, lightly colored guacamole, beans and pico. I managed to eat a little more than one half of one. I resorted to using my chips to scrape the edible portions of beans and toppings off my plate and picked out the chicken from the mush. The chicken was somewhat warmer than the rest of it and the flavor was decent. I was reminded of my first visit and similar mushy texture of that meal. I definitely think there is a high probability that some entrees may be microwaved. I expected a hot meal but there was nothing that tasted authentic or freshly prepared. To be fair, I gave them two-stars for their servers and nice atmosphere. There was a family with a young child and an adult asked if the tv channel could be changed to cartoons? The servers made it happen! Super kind of them. Will I be coming back? Not likely. I like more authentic and flavorful food that is prepared fresh. Las Salsas style isn't for me. read more

We had dinner here and were very impressed with the food and the service. Plus the prices are VERY reasonable. A family of 5 with a couple of beers for around $45. Can't beat that. Plus the salsa bar was very good as well. The place was very clean. Wish we lived closer to come more often. read more

My wife and I just ate at Las Salsas. The food was good and plenty of it. The reason for the 3 stars is that the wait staff is horrible. The place was not that busy but we were ignored, I had to ask multiple times for salsa and my dink never got refilled. read more

I live in Atlanta. Had this on my way to Sugar Mountain. It is the best! I tease my boyfriend about making the drive just to eat there. Can't wait to go back. read more

Outstanding! The staff were polite and quick, the food was very tasty, served quickly, and the portions were plentiful. The low prices pushed this to a 5 star for me. The Burrito Pastor was savory and delicious. Well done,folks! read more

Always fresh, inexpensive, amazing salsa bar, friendly staff. Can't beat Las Salsas in Marion! The cream cheese flautas and shrimp pico de gallo chimi, and spicy red salad are my favorites. Warning: Expect very large portions. Your next two meals will be covered. Flank steak & crispy fries are best steaks in town! No matter what the food or drink, you won't be disappointed. Another warning: drinks are potent. Don't assume you'll need two. read more

This little place is fabulous! I vacation here in Marion every year from Connecticut and I have to make time for one or two visits because it's the best food in town! Prices are reasonable, it's clean, wait staff is friendly and attentive, and you'll get mounds of food... everything you want for a meal out (and some leftovers for next day's lunch, to boot). You truly can't go wrong here. 5 stars in my book. read more

We just had a delicious meal here! We've eaten at the Las Salsas in Morganton and it's great, too. Traveling I-40 in western NC you won't find a better meal or deal. Our service was superb. We ordered the Steak & Chicken Fajitas and shared it. It was all we could possibly eat! The ice cold Negra Modelo was brought to the table with a very frosty glass...yum!! Both of the Las Salsas will now be our restaurants of choice when traveling on I-40. ¡Rico rico exquisito! read more

A heavy smell of Clorox greets you at the door. We ordered chicken fajitas for two. Two side dishes were delivered promptly but we waited 10 minutes before the fajitas arrived and sides or fixings were cold. The chicken fajitas looked like they had been prepared for a caveman. Massive chunks of very dry chicken on top with hot vegetables underneath. Came on a platter with no sizzle. Doubt chicken was cooked today. Can't understand why this restaurant gets high ratings. Horrible food! read more

This restaurant had some of the best food I have ever eaten at a Mexican restaurant. The chicken for the fajitas tasted like it had been well marinated. The pork from the adovado molcajete was also great. The reason for giving this restaurant 3 stars is that the service was terrible. There were 3 of us, and one of our plates came out 15 minutes after the others. Also, the waiter was so absent I wanted to put his picture on a milk carton. If the staff on the floor was as good as the staff in the kitchen, this restaurant would be fantastic. read more

You know the restaurant is bad when you can't even move to the end of the booth without the booth and the table tipping over and spilling the drinks and food(if it was there, but it wasnt), and when the food is OK but makes you have to run to the bathroom constantly in the night for two or three nights... IT'S NOT WORTH IT will not be coming back, waitress was nice and committed to making the drink that she didn't know how to make but besides that she did not return to the table much and when she did she only refilled the drink after the drink spilled when both the whole table and whole booth tipped and made me fall on the floor, when she gave us our check, and when she gave us our food. read more

On our first trip to this newer restaurant, we were sorely disappointed by the service AND quality of food. Wait staff brought another tables food to our four-top on two occasions because they didn't know the table numbers .... My wife ordered a Fish Taco, a la carte and received a Shrimp Taco. When we pointed it out to the waitress, she questioned my wife on her order and then took away the taco in a huff. We finally received the fish taco twenty minutes later. .... Our dinners were served twelve minutes apart on the same order ..... AND we never received any refills on water until we were ready to leave. Now let's talk about the poor quality of food. Never have I had refried beans served to me that needed to be eaten with a spoon because they were thinner than the salsa. No beans, just pureed muck on one side of my enchiladas .... The Shrimp Enchiladas were swimming in so much cheese, without any sauce that was described on the menu, that you couldn't taste the shrimp .... Canned sliced mushrooms in every enchilada, whether it was shrimp or veggie or chicken .... and the Fish Taco that we waited for twenty minutes was breaded, deep fried and so heavily salted to the point of being totally inedible. They advertise as being "authentic" .... believe me, they are the farthest thing away from being "authentic". Nothing more than another Americanized pseudo-Mexican restaurant that doesn't deserve your hard-earned dollar! read more

Awesome! Amazing! Food and service is superb! The price more than reasonable! They blow their competitors out of the water! If you want authentic Mexican cuisine, with polite service, at an amazing price....you can't go wrong with Las Salsas! Mucho Bueno! read more

One of, if not the best Mexican restaurant I have been to. The food here is delicious and the portions are huge. The salsa bar has a salas for everyone and is very flavorful and fresh. I recommend the fajitas and if you get the fajitas for 2, you better be hungry as it's more like fajitas for 4! read more

The restaurant serves very good food. The portions were very large and most importantly the food was good. The salsa bar had pico de gallo that was out of this world. Also, the mild salsa was very good. We will definitely return when we are in Marion read more

I had the enchiladas California and I usually don't get any kind of enchilada plate. They were absolutely out of this world. My wife had the shrimp enchiladas and they were stuffed with so many shrimp she only ate one. We live in Sanford and I would honestly consider driving up here for dinner. Great service and even better food. Prices were more than reasonable as well. read more

I love love love this place! The food is so good! Even the tacos are amazing instead of ground beef it's shredded and it's so good.

My husband and I love going here! The food is fantastic; if you haven't ordered the Barbeque Shrimp, you need to. No generic flavors here, just the right amount of heat! The service staff is wonderful and the cooks are magicians (everything cooked to perfection). Can't wait for our next date night! read more
