Here's a photo of my Arro con pollo "to go meal) that I always order when I go to other Mexican restaurants... Thrown together with hard rice, barely any cheese, & very little chicken. Hostess was nice & quick to get my order and for me to pay, but now I see why... read more

Service was very poor. Waitress was too busy talking to some of the Mexican men that came in. I doubt that we will return.

OUTSTANDING is the word that describes this restaurant. Everything was just perfect My husband and I came in on a Sunday at 8pm. Friendliness from walking into the door to the table. Server was excellent ! Quick and very kind. Answered all the questions we had. Food came out QUICK and HOT. IT WAS DELICIOSO! The chips and salsa that was brought to the table was very good. They give you various options on salsas. The ambience was uplifting and great to bring children and big family parties !! VERY SPACIOUS! read more

Nice,clean restaurant with very good service but the food is so bland. Just ate there for our third and last try.

Mr. Salsa's new location feels open, has nice outdoor seating and feels comfortable. There is enough seating to serve the population even at peak times. Service is generally excellent and has st times been astounding. Food is good and generally consistent. Salsa is good! read more

Mr Salsa - Chimchanga lunch. Very hot. Delicious chicken inside. - Mexican Near Me - Greenville, South Carolina

I'm not Latina and I make Mexican food 100 times better at home! But I am Texan, so I know how real, good Mexican food should taste and look like. Ordered Chimichanga and quesadilla. Let me point out that traditional chimichanga is shaped usually like a burrito and deep fried to a CRISP outer shell. Theirs was flat, square, and soft. It tasted bland and boring, with some kind of awful thin white (cheese?) sauce on top. Yes, I returned it. I thought the quesadilla would be better: not. It, too, was super boring and the shrimp tasted like it was straight from the farm-raised water: that's because it was almost raw. There was barely any sour cream and guacamole on my plate: I had to find the latter under my mound of lettuce (you know, the cheap stuff). When the I told the young manager about all of this, his reply was "that's the allotted portion" and I finished his sentence with ..."yes, at THIS restaurant." Do yourself a favor: go to Farmhouse or Chicora Alley in TR, or the Mexican chain restaurants. read more

Clean, friendly, convenient. I first ate at the Mr. Salsa on Woodruff Road many years ago when I worked on that area. This location in University Square is just as enjoyable. My husband is a creature of rigid habit, so he ordered his requisite "two hard shell beef tacos" and was pleased with his choice. I selected the Burrito Jalisco and oh! my! goodness. Delicious. Pork, lightly sauteed with onions, pepper and tomatoes, and wrapped in a flour tortilla. Then a wonderful cheese sauce slathered on top and crowned with lettuce and guacamole. I could barely devour it fast enough! Our waitress was charming and friendly. The music is hispanic sounding with a definite Latin beat. Everything was clean, tables were not sticky, booth seats were clean. Overall a totally enjoyable meal and I SHALL return for another Burrito Jalisco! read more

Great food my chicken was really good and the service was amazing. The workers engaged in a wonderful conversation

Clean , friendly and delicious! The drinks are great and they are perfect for parties or just go alone. I had a grilled chicken quesadilla with fresh pico and sour cream. It was so good. The chips were hot and crispy and although they bring you mild salsa you can request hot. read more

Delicious food, great service and friendly staff! Cute and festive decor; overall great place to visit! I had the quesadillas and a strawberry margarita. Both were beautifully made! read more

Delicious food! Everything is fresh and freshly prepared. The guacamole is creamy and delightful. The fajitas are amazing. I have celiac disease, but it was no problem. They ensured that my meal was gluten -free and delicious. Try the Texas margarita. The staff is friendly, efficient, and courteous. The restaurant and restrooms are clean. The atmosphere is friendly and fun. The background music is enjoyable and not too loud for conversation. read more

Fernando the server was HORRIBLE. He was very rude. He would push all of our stuff out of the way and throw our food and things down. Don't recommend. read more

3.5 rounding up since I only have one experience here. For being called Mr. Salsa, for me, the salsa was very bland. Even the spicy version (which I'm glad they offer). The chips seemed fresh though and are on the thicker/crunchy side. I ordered the barbacoa tacos with corn shells - they come with the standard onion and cilantro topping. I actually thought these were pretty good once i added a few tBsps of salsa to keep it from being dry. By barbacoa, it's shredded beef (I know in some places it is beef cheek, I was happy it was not here). I'd love to see more street taco offerings and some more flavorful salsa, but if I ended up back here, I wouldn't be mad. read more

The phone call kept breaking up and broke up while she repeated the order. So accidentally something was left off. We nicely went back to order what was left off and the girl caught an attitude. It wasn't a big deal to us thing happen but her attitude was unneeded. read more

This place used to be decent. Tried going in their new location . They have a really nice patio, but when we arrived they had a DJ playing bad music way too loud. Bc of this, there was only one table seated on the patio. Ordered chimichanga. It was half the size of any other Mexican restaurant. I ordered the "shredded steak"... it was like it had those frozen "Steak Ums" inside. Really disappointing. Even the salsa was bland.. read more

I'm giving the 2 stars because the food is always good, not great, but good. It's fresh and fast. Here's the problem, we arrived, masked, entered the restaurant to find nearly every patron who was not seated (lobby, on the way to bathroom, having a chat in the middle of the room) UNMASKED. The cashier at the front, no mask, nearly every server wearing their mask on their chin, or with their nose exposed. The host brought us to a table he hadn't realized was still dirty, he scooped up the dirty dishes, drops our silverware on it and walks away, table unwashed and unsanitized. Businesses need to set the tone, ask your patrons to mask, give your servers proper training and enforce it. I'd be interested to see how many folks get/got COVID from this establishment, that's how poorly it's being run. read more

Stale chips, watery bland salsa. The food looks low quality and as it was just thrown into the plate. Food didn't taste great as I expected it to be since this place is ranked with 4 stars (totally not the case and not a 4 stars worth restaurant). I've tried their enchiladas, tacos, burritos and carne asada and noThing was worth mention or pictUre worthy. The people working there are not nice and they talk poorly about their customer thinking that they're not being understood, (I know because i'm native in Spanish). The only good thing worth mentioning is the margarita pitchers, those a killers and tricky. Really good lol read more

Our food was cold! We did not receive three thing from our order. My chicken was not fully cooked. When we requested a manager he did NOT apologize. He even said that our server did not understand us. Ok. Then why is she taking orders? Our third visit. All of them terrible. And no one attempted to rectify the situation. Never going back. read more

This location has small portions, higher prices, and much lower food quality than the Mr. Salsa location in Taylors. We won't be back to this location. Try the Taylors location and you will agree. read more

I love eating here on the patio with friends. It has a great ambiance. The food is always delicious. The service is fast and friendly. View of the mountains on the porch read more

I love this place. It's one of the few restaurants I still go to. Most places are a waste of time and money now. Nobody cares anymore. But Mr Salsa is consistently good. And on the rare occasion they make a mistake, it's corrected immediately. Thank you!!! read more

We love going to Mr. Salsa. The new location is clean and is ALWAYS busy. I love getting the burrito bowl, with rice, beans, grilled vegetables, lettuce, cheese, and tomatoes. So fresh! So delicious! The only downside is- it's so good, we always have to wait. read more

I literally won't go to another Mexican restaurant after dining here. There food is so fresh and delicious. You can tell they have a high standard for there food. I'd say this was the best Mexican restaurant in greenville, hands down. read more

OK, so for the first time the other night I tried one of their Texas Margaritas. OMG...this is a SPECTACULAR margarita! Cuervo Gold with Grand Marnier...as well as lime and orange. They are spendy, but life's too short to drink cheap margaritas...and there's nothing worse than ordering a margarita and getting sour mix with cheap tequilla. Bleh. read more

I honestly was pretty over this place until I met ally. she is the queen of the world. she deserves a 1 million dollar raise. she should get paid and not have to work. she should definitely be the manager. she should be YOUR boss. btw if I ever see her mopping I'm calling the police. read more

Love Mr Salsa! This is one of the most consistent restaurants in the TR/Greenville area! The service is great as well -- holla at Tristan or Katrina for our personal favorites -- and make sure you grab the queso for the real test. read more

We wanted to love this place because it's so close to home. We didn't dislike anything we had but it just wasn't as flavorful as some of the other great restaurants in Greenville. We got the queso to start which was good, the chips weren't that special though. The salsa we got tasted like tomato sauce. We both got fajitas and they weren't bad but they just didn't have much flavor. You could tell they sprinkled some dry seasoning on them but it didn't make it great. read more

THE WORST MEXICAN FOOD EVER. Do not eat here. Terrible. Terrible. Terrible. It doesn't deserve even one star.

We ended up here when we realized that most everything in the neighborhood was closed, due to Furman's spring break. The atmosphere is good- it's bright, newish and clean. The service was fairly prompt, certainly no complaints. The food was just okay. I had the asada tacos and found the steak to be on the dry side. It was finely chopped and grilled. The pico was fresh and bright. The rice and beans were standard fare- nothing to write home about. My buddy had shrimp cocktail. It was nicely presented, but the shrimp were overly salty. She ended up discarding several. read more

I just had the most atrocious customer service by the hostess who answered the phone. Let's start with the way she answered the phone like she was angry. I tried to give her my order and she repeated it back incorrectly. When I corrected her, she remarked "that's what I just said." Extremely condescending. After every thing I ordered , her response would be "that it?" In an annoyed tone to which I finally asked for a manager. All the while, I can see her as I'm sitting in my car ordering due to them being busy so I didn't want to stand in the crowded waiting area (that's completely fine), she puts me on hold tells her friend something, then pops back on the phone annoyed stating they are extremely busy and would give him my number. This is a complete shame because we are weekly regulars and due to this individual, we won't be returning again. Her attitude and disgust when speaking to me completely turned me away from this restaurant. As I told her this, she responded, "that's fine, we have other regulars." Then hung the phone up. A true shame with this situation. read more

If you want very poor food with good service this is your place. Worst meal in last few years.

The food is always hot and fresh. I do tend to add a little salt. The staff is kind and the restaurant is clean.

Some things had flavor and some things not so much. I got the nachos (ground beef and shredded chicken). I'm not usually a big shredded chicken but glad I got it as it did have a nice flavor. The beans did too. Ground beef, not so much. Just was bland, not bad. The salsa could definitely use some work. It's not bad, it's just meh as well. I'd suggest the cooks to add red onion and cilantro to their next order. If that happened with the queso being thicker... This could definitely be a 5 star place. read more

Average Mexican food. Nothing special. It's close to Furman which is nice, but it's not a place that I would go out of my way for.

Try the Carnitas dinner. If you want it spicy ask for chipotle sauce. It was awesome! read more

All I can say is the service at this location was Horrid. From the time we sat down we were rushed and rushed and rushed. After having the menu for less than 2 minutes our waiter came back and asked if we were ready to order, we told him no and other 2 minutes later he was back, pad in hand asking again. After the 3rd time we told him no he came back and we were ready to order. We ordered and after 20 minutes and no offers of refills of our drink our food arrived. It was your standard mexican by numbers, and not that great either. We finally got a refill and we quickly ate and left. We were less than impressed overall. Much better Mexican to be had with better service not very far away. read more
