The birria and quesabirrias are absolutely delicious--very flavorful without being overly salty. I also loved the combination of condiments. Nothing was overwhelmingly spicy, but if you like more heat, you can definitely request it. The service was excellent--attentive, cordial, and respectful. The ambiance is definitely a small, hole-in-the-wall type of spot, but honestly, don't let the size fool you--the food is delicious! Sometimes the best food comes from the smallest places. Highly recommend giving this place a try!

I had a recommendation from a friend to stop here, I am glad I did!…read more I am a firm believer that the fancier the Mexican restaurant, the more bland the food will be. This location is not a flashy place, it is very simple. But, the food is incredible. I opted for a simple order of carne asada tacos and al pastor tacos. These are my barometer dishes to guage the quality of the food. Both of the tacos were wonderful. The carne asada was seasoned and grilled to perfection. The al pastor was marinated and juicy and so full of flavor. The sign to me that this spot is focused on the food was the handmade tortillas. It takes a lot of effort and skill to be able to make perfect corn tortillas! The ladies behind the counter were so friendly and I could tell they put a lot of love into the food they prepare. I will recommend this spot to anyone that is looking fro great food in North Carson.

Pretty good first visit to Taqueria La Salsa. We were craving some tacos, and this place served us…read moreup some very classic street tacos! Located off of HWY 50/Williams St, Taqueria La Salsa is a small Mexican joint offering many classic Mexican-American staples. We ordered street tacos and a kids' quesadilla. Honestly, the food is just ok. The tacos were flavorful, and the beans and rice were classic Mexican-American; however, the tacos were also quite small, even for street tacos, and the quesadilla was very bland. I felt at first the prices were very reasonable, but after tax and tip, the total didn't come out to be that much less than other Mexican restaurants in the area. Service was ok, but nothing special. We did not feel especially welcomed. I definitely got vibes that this place has a lot of regulars. Overall, I think this place is great, but I also think there are many just as good spots for Mexican food in Carson City and the surrounding areas.

We also got a flan to split for dessert and it was great! The texture was different than im used to. More cakey and less gelatin texture. It was really good. Service was great and for $28, it was a nice, inexpensive, tasty lunch!

It was like watery, literally. So here's a pic of the queso I got Oct 16th 2024 which was amazing and the cheese held onto the chip. She tried to argue with me saying it was always that thin. Queso is not the consistency of water sorry. I'm not paying 11.00 for a small bowl of watered-down cheese. So to anyone who reads this in the Carson City area. Go give Don Chepe a try. Good honest family run place. They would never treat a customer like that, that was a regular. Their food is rocking and even though their regular menu does not reflect ground beef, they do have it. It's on their little menu on the table

I have my…read morecrew doing some last minute work, so I'm having lunch with a local friend that wanted to show me a deep fried burrito. I normally get burritos at a lot of different burrito joints all over, but never had one deep fried. I thought that would just be like a chimichanga. But this doesn't have cheese and sauce all over, it's basically a super burrito with everything inside and then dumped into the deep fryer. We drive thru a bunch of street construction and find a place to park in the parking lot. The building looks like an old Taco Bell but painted bright blue. This parking lot is pretty busted up. We park and go in. My friend does the ordering. We get a nice booth and the food is up in maybe 7 or 8 minutes. Wow, I never seen a deep fried burrito like this. We eat like this was a regular burrito, by hand eating from one end. The fried flour tortilla is easy to hold and doesn't fall apart. Spicy salsa is available in a big squeeze bottle. Wow, this is dang tasty! I like the flour tortilla isn't all doughy like in a regular burrito, it seems thinner being fried. I kinda like this. The marinated pork with rice and beans and cheese inside tastes good in that combination. If you want this, just ask for a deep fried super burrito with whatever meat you want. I'm glad I tried this. Now it's back with the crew and off we go back to Sacramento.

About the same price as San Marcos Grill. Choose to come here for my fish (try to have fish 4 times a week), the fish they had was frozen, boo hoo. To be fair, we came late, about an hour before closing. The guy offered to thaw it quickly but we were all unsure if it would cook too much. So I chose the fish fillet in garlic butter sauce but guess what. That's not what I got. Dang. I got basically fish sticks. Breaded, over fried and even my salad had nothing on it. Not a good night for Darla. Don't worry though. I will be back and ask for my whole fish again. It IS yummy!

Inside is very clean and modern, so it's not like going into a third world place like some places ... but sometimes those place have great food. You just put your order in with the guy at the cash register. The menu is up on the wall. My friend got some pupusas, sort of like grilled stuffed tortillas. I went for the super burrito and we shared some street tacos. Tacos were just $2.25 each and the burrito was $9.99. I got both with al pastor for my meat choice. The salsa bar has lots of different choice to choose from from mild to super hot ... all labeled. The cooks just call out your order, so you better listen for it. The street tacos had a ton of meat on them and I just put some salsa one all of them as well as adding onions and greens. Wow, these were some of the best tacos I ever had! Just pick them up and fold and shove in mouth! Tasty! The burrito was a little different than other burritos I've had. The tortilla shell wasn't as thick of doubled over in the folding so it wasn't as easy to get it to stand up to eat hand held from one end, but having less tortilla is better cause it's easier to bite into and the taste of the fillings come through better. I like this burrito! I'd come back here again if I'm in the area. Sometimes I have my crew with me for work out on East Carson sometimes, I'll bring them here.

I've been to the other Mexican restaurants in town. There aren't too many dining options here without having to head into Carson, but options are decent. (Iykyk). We walked in and it was fairly busy. There were only two tables open and one for two off to the side near a window where we were seated promptly. The same girl that seated us offered drinks, chips and salsa. We were starving and snacking on the chips and salsa while looking over their menu. We decided that we were both hungry enough to order their super sampler to share as an appetizer. I ordered their empanada and chile relleno and my friend and my friend ordered a dos plato. Our food was served hot. We enjoyed our dinner and left with plenty of leftovers. I'd come back. The service here is phenomenal!
