Mister G's Salsa - Specialty Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Best salsa in San Diego! My husband and I came across Mister G's spicy garlic salsa at Protector Brewery. We bought some from the fridge to take home and my only regret was not buying two because once we got home, it was game over for that salsa -- it didn't even last an hour. The salsa had good flavor, as well as a nice kick to it, and you could actually taste the garlic! We've been trying to find a salsa that we like out here (been here for three years total) and haven't found one until we had some Mister G's. The last time we had really good salsa was when we lived on Oahu, but even then.. it was a salsa that was made in Compton that we bought at the commissary. I can't wait until we visit Mister G's shop in Miramar and try more of the salsas. read more

Mister G's Salsa - Forgot to take a before pic of the spicy garlic salsa, but just trust that it's AMAZING! - Specialty Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Seriously the Best place for Salsa. This is quality salsa not just one of those get your overly spicey anything type of places. This is resturant style salsa and so enjoyable. Never have I gone to a place just for my chip and salsa fix but I do now! The place is located near Miramar. As far as I know, it's open Saturday and Sunday. Maybe Friday too. I've gone on the weekends the past few times so I'm not 100%. I love all of the salsas I've tried but Serrano is my favorite, it's got great flavors and just the right amount of spice. The place is cute and has seating. It looks like a cool hangout place with drinks, games and a TV. It's clean and it has a restroom. The girl at the front and the guy in the kitchen are really cool to talk to. Overall great place. Great people and Amazing salsa. The pricing is very fair and affordable so I usually pick up 4-5 salsas at a time. If I'm having people over for something I will pick up like 10. Definitely stop by, you won't regret it. read more

Mister G's Salsa is SO good! I frequent Jaunt Coffee next door and noticed that there was a Salsa spot next door but they seemed to only be open Thursday through Sunday. I checked it out one day and noticed they were selling a specific salsa of the week for a $1! I had to get some and a bag of tortilla chips and everything tasted very fresh. I've now tried a few of their salsas and you can't go wrong with any of them. Follow their Instagram - @mrgssalsa to stay up to date of what salsa they are selling! There is a small parking lot available. read more

Cute place! I wish they would do a better job of advertising their hours and have an actual website to learn more about the products that they offer. I somehow found their Instagram page and noticed that they advertise their $1 salsas for Fridays and Saturdays, so one Saturday morning I bought their "original" for $1 and also picked up their serrano salsa for my mom. My mom raved about both salsas, but wished they were hotter, so I'll be coming back and getting getting her the hotter options again someday. read more

Holy cow! This salsa is great! They have a different salsa available for $1 each time and this time it was the green sauce and I loved it! SOOOO fresh and delicious. The chips they sell with it are perfect too! I must say that I can't wait to go back and try more. My friend, Joy R. got the ghost pepper salsa and said it was amazing! read more

We've been purchasing/consuming Mister G's Salsa for a couple of years now. It's some of the best salsa we've ever had. We recommend trying the new salsa flavors that come out every-so-often. And I've recently started gifting them to my son's teachers for either the holidays or as end-of-the-year gifts. If you haven't tried yet, you need to! read more

I initially went over in this area for Preston's (which by the way, GOAT for ginger beer) and stopped over at Mister G's for a flight of salsa. I am annoyingly allergic to allium, which is the worst with onions, but sometimes, I take the risk of reaction because, I mean c'mon... who could deny chips and salsa?! Anyway, their salsas are all outstanding. I LOVED their black pepper garlic salsa the most, it's worth the allergic reaction, every time. Flash forward 6 mos later... I talk about it enough that my friend went out of her way to go over and get some for my birthday yesterday. Either way, killer salsa and not in the deathly allergy kind of way. So if ever in doubt when it comes to Mister G's, I'm telling you, just do it. I would be having it all day, every day if I didn't I have allergies because... Mister G's has it on lock! read more

Mister G's Salsa - Birthday Salsa! - Specialty Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Please read the whole review: Read Zach's comment review. I love the salsa. But it's true about the person at the register....(she) the cashier made the experience so unpleasant, as a paying customer There needs to be a level customer service so I want to come back. It felt so transactional. read more

This place is only open Thursday-Sunday (I think) but it is a gem! They make some awesome salsa. Every day they will have a $1 special where one of their signature salsas is only $1, but they do sell out quickly! There hasn't been a salsa I've tried from here that hasn't been great. So much better than buying anything at the regular grocery store. read more

The salsa flight was delicious. We would definitely go back. Our top two was original and black pepper lime.

We met the owners while sipping refreshing cocktails at Swinford, just a couple of doors down. They shared some chips and verde salsa and it was da bomb so we decided to swing by after our drinks. We ordered the flight of salsas and a shrimp ceviche. Both came with a big bag of chips. My favorites were the green salsas but they were all good. I want to come back to try the other menu items. So happy it's close to home. Support your local small businesses guys..come check them out. Grab some food and head over to Swinford for some cocktails. read more

Mister G's Salsa - Flight of salsas n shrimp ceviche. Both came w it's own bag of chips. The green ones are my favorites. - Specialty Food Near Me - San Diego, California

If it's your first time, definitely start out with a flight of salsa. They have a nice array of different flavors, from sweet and spicy, spicy and savory! There are 6 in a flight and you can choose. My faves are the peach, corn, the Mean Green and the black pepper garlic! I'm usually not a sweet salsa kind of person, but the contrast between the peach/corn and the others is quite nice. The flight also comes with some chips to dip. Even though the sample sizes are smaller, with 6 samples, that's still 12 oz. of salsa altogether. I wasn't able to finish mine but they do have lids for flight cups so you can take them home. Tip - bring someone with you and get different flavors so you'll be able to try all of them! read more

I always thought this place was closed but the doors were open when I came to get coffee next door. Sure the person at the register was not very talkative or personable but I came here to buy salsa not to chat or be treated like royalty just to BUY SALSA!? lmao The salsa was delicious. We have almost devoured two containers over the weekend. I liked the original more than the pepper garlic. I'm too chicken to try the Serrano or ghost pepper flavors but we'll be back to try more flavors. :) read more

I just happened to stop by Mister G's Salsa after getting cookies. We had already eaten dinner so we weren't hungry. I actually wondered how could a place just sell salsa? I love elotes so I thought I'd give it a try. It's more of a dip and not the type that's an actual meal or side dish. It was ok. I ordered the original salsa just to give it a try. One look at the salsa and the balance of ingredients and texture, I knew it would taste as good as it looked. It's awesome that they served the elotes and salsa with a huge bag of restaurant style tortilla chips. The prices were reasonable and the other menu items sound good too. I will definitely return for some salsa and can't wait to try the other menu items. read more

Went to Mr G's with some friends last night, wasn't sure how I get about salsa flights but I'm a fan now! Tracy and John are amazing hosts and very skilled at what they do. The salsa is delicious and the frozen margaritas are dangerous! Make sure you pick up a tub of their pineapple salsa, it was my absolute favorite!! read more

I stopped in here because I had a Groupon to use. I had the salsa dog and a beer. The salsa was good but the dog was certainly not meant to be the highlight. The dog itself was quite lackluster but the salsa was the star of the show. The hours here are super duper limited so be sure you check before stopping in. There are several breweries in walking distance of here if you want to grab a drink as well. They have an assortment of beverages and bottled beers in the fridge to choose from. The lady behind the counter (the salsatender???) was super nice and we chatted for a while. Extra star for her friendliness! read more

I don't think I've ever had such a pitiful display pf customer service in my life. I walk into an empty storefront to try them out and support their business, and when I enthusiastically say hello, the woman at the counter says nothing to me to greet me nor smiles. Then I ask a simple question clarifying the cost of the salsa, and she again says nothing to me and gives me an annoyed look and just nods her head slowly. I decided I wasn't about to support this business anymore and left and still, the woman said absolutely nothing to me. I did nothing to give her reason to treat me that way. The only thing I can think of is that I was wearing a mask. Pro tip, when you have only one customer, it's probably a good idea to give them a little respect and at the very least, greet them and let them know you are there to help. They lost my business. read more

So many varieties of salsa, from chipotle, to 3 amigos, to pineapple habanero everything is amazing here. Only tried 3 different salsas but am excited to come back to try all 12 . The owner is an awesome guy and the decor is nice and cozy and right nearby miramar road for everyone that lives in Mira Mesa . Support great local business's !!! read more

You think "it's just salsa" but when I first ate it I consciously thought "this is the best salsa I've ever had." Got the flight with 6 salsas and chips - you get to try almost all of their stock. Got the Mean Green, The Hot One, Pineapple, SJ, Habanero, and Black Garlic Pepper. The base is similar in the red salsas with just added spice or flavor, but the base alone is super fresh and filling and not watery or bland at all. I was surprised we got chips with the flight, because it was a lot of salsa for a small price (I think $7?). It took us quite a few days to finish the salsa so you get a lot for the price. Super good, fresh, flavorful. Highly recommend! read more

A salsa flight?! Yep... you heard me. Mister G's picks up on the craft train where your local beers, wines, spirits and such have left off. Really a part of the same great adventure here at the Miralani complex in Miramar. If your looking for knock your sinuses in brutal heat, then this maybe isn't for you. If you are looking for some great flavors, both classic and unique, with some heat to get you going, then grab a seat and see what salsa can do for you! The many varieties here give an option for most everyone. I likes the classic varieties such as the habanero. But the black pepper garlic, corn salsa and peach were awesome stand outs. You can grab a "flight" of six small sizes and a generous basket of chips for pretty cheap... or go big and jump in for a "salsa dog" which is a big ole beef dog on a french roll with your choice of salsa (it really works well, trust me). Yes, they have most all varieties ready to go home with you as well. All are made in small batches with great local ingredients, so....your really out of excuses aren't ya! Head in and give me a try! read more

What a fun find! We were at one of the spots in the area for a drink & saw this place & it was something we'd never seen before. Flight of salsa?! Say no more. We chose 5 or 6 salsas & the guy even brought it over to the wine bar for us. It came with a big bag of chips but we finished them all off with some salsa to go, and the guy gave us a whole other bag! Super nice people & the salsas were so freaking good. I couldn't believe how different they all tasted. Great idea, you should go. read more

If you like to get off the beaten track and enjoy true craft pleasures, I have found a real treasure. Mr. G's is a really chill place to snack on salsa and enjoy a beer or Margarita. i love this place. This is a true San Diego hang out. John and his family run the best Salsa company in San Diego. I love the Pineapple, Garlic Pepper and Red Hot salsas. During the holidays, they make a Cranberry Salsa to dream about. The bar is surrounded by very cool micro breweries. So make an afternoon of it. read more

Perfect bar hop spot . Everything is delicious! I couldn't help but take some home to go too!! read more

Mister G's Salsa - Specialty Food Near Me - San Diego, California

Fabulous experience tasting 6 kinds of salsa (and chips) alongside the next-door brewery. On a rainy Saturday evening, we stopped by here for some munchies on our alcohol hopping parade in Miralani Makers District. We went for a 2 oz taster of each flavor: pineapple, corn, serrano, original, mean green (aka spicy verde) and black pepper garlic. All concoctions were distinct. Prices are very reasonable ($6 for 6 tasters, chips complementary!) and staff was friendly. Decent parking in the lot or on street. Need to come again to try rest of the options! read more

The food is AMAZING! I loved the pizzas and the meatballs! I'm not that big on salsa but the pineapple one is so good! My boyfriend and his family love spicy and they really enjoyed the habanero one. The margaritas are to die for! Overall the experience was really amazing, the workers are so polite and all have a friendly smile! read more

Great salsa, I'm hooked! Got a flight, favorite was black pepper garlic! Took it to go to eat at Swinford spirits in the miralani maker district. The fruit salsas were more fruity than I expected (no tomatoes), but good, I mixed them with the other salsas on the same chip. read more

Delicious and super satisfying meal for two: 6 salsa flight, chicken verde, beans and rice for $20. We tried the original, Serrano, pineapple, corn, peach and mild. Hard to choose a favorite because it depends on the salsa mood. The salsas have depth and even the salsa "juice" is tasty (yes, I drank it). That night I was really feeling the pineapple salsa and dreaming about putting it on an adobada taco. The salsas are also available in 8oz tubs to go so you can continue the party at home. Pro tip: Eat here before going on your wine/sake/beer/vodka/gin/cider/mead crawl at the Miralani Makers' District. You'll last longer! read more

I was skeptical on my first visit that I would like this salsa... but my husband & I bought a salsa flight and soon I fell in love with the "mean green" and the "original". He liked the "smoked jalapeño" "red hot" and "verde". We got a quesadilla and the street tacos too. The take away? It's currently 84 degrees, no AC, and I'm eating the salsa as my snack. read more

What a great concept! We absolutely loved every salsa we tried, and the shrimp cocktail was fresh. The smoked salsa was life changing, and the garlic and pepper salsa was amazing. This is definitely a place you should visit. It's quite conveniently located among a group of breweries...a great pairing! read more

Just wow. Chips'n'salsa is one of my favorite foods and this place knocks it out of the park. The chips were fresh and the right thickness. The salsas were all delectable, with the smoked jalapeño as my clear winner. Easily some of the best salsas that I've had anywhere, particularly when you consider the consistency of the tastiness. I ended up here randomly because it's in the same center as 3 breweries. I live downtown but will be making the trek up here frequently. Please support this place and make it a San Diego staple. read more

I absolutely love this place! I'm a huge fan of the Serrano salsa...so delicious with a great kick! They have tons of different options, styles, flavors for everyone! I love the location they are surrounded by a bunch of awesome breweries, cider/meaderies, spirit bars, etc. So nice that you can grab a delicious snack or even a full meal at Mr. G's while drinking delicious local made beverages! JP AND TRACY ROCK! Good people! read more

Hosted a birthday party at Mister G's Salsa last night for my husband. Had a wonderful time with friends and family. The salsa is amazing and everyone liked the salsa flights as they got to taste many of the different kinds of salsa that Mister G makes. The food was delicious, all selections made with or having a side of salsa! And yes, this is my son-in law and daughter's business and it is amazing! Stop by and enjoy! read more

I wouldn't come back here. I tried the chicken street tacos. The corn tortillas didn't seem fully warmed up. The rice was not fully cooked. The chicken bowl was pretty basic and the rice was hard. The salsas were good. read more

Such great salsa! Really like the black pepper garlic ... good taste with a kick! They have so many other varieties as well, which are just as great. Good chips, chicken salsa, and bean salsa too. What a great concept and good place to go for salsa! read more

Their salsa is bomb. Love the black pepper garlic and the cranberry jalapeño. It was part of the walk about.

Best salsa ever! The pineapple and mango salsas are my favorites! We love the salsa and the atmosphere!

What a great experience at Mr. G's Salsa. The various salsas were very tasty and unique and did not have that "commercial" taste. I especially liked the fruit salsas, but my husband loved the spicy ones! You can make an afternoon out of it by visiting Mr. G's neighbors in the small center, which includes a brewery, winery and cider bar. Give it a try; you won't be disappointed. read more
