    Use this ramp if you don't like climbing stairs.
    Liz L.

    One thing I love about my hometown of Manhattan, is the fact that you could be in utter luxurious surroundings on one block and two blocks over are industrial environs. Los Angeles is like this too, but you have to drive between these scenarios. So, I happen to love the Riverside Drive (actually both in NYC and LA!), Silverlake, Atwater area with all its boxy apartments and bridges, the gritty but epic LA River and the little Bohemian enclave at its feet, Frogtown. I have reviewed other spots in this little haven and will likely return for more. But, Salazar is likely its most famous venue and with good reason. We were there on a Sunday afternoon at my magic hour when no one is supposed to be crowding us, either for a table or for parking. I was surprised to see Salazar buzzing with diners, coming and going. This was still their off-time because if you go there for dinner or breakfast you are going to be squeezed into a corner. This is a place by locals for locals. I am just glad we stumbled on it when tooling around to absorb the almost brutalist neighborhood it caps. I love this place. Look at the outdoor patio -- rough and worn wooden tables, rickety patinaed metal chairs, giant trees and characteristic black umbrellas. This is raw, as, let's say, Hudson Yards, but even more metallic. And then there is the menu. OMG, so many fabulous things for veg-heads like me. Even though I had studied it carefully at home, I still had to sit for a good 15 minutes and make difficult choices. I ended up with Huevos Rancheros, Guac, roasted purple potatoes (Papas Bravas), and a Phony Negroni -- see my pictures and read the menu descriptions. Everything was highly seasoned, including the complimentary bean dip that accompanied the guacamole. It was hard to resist devouring every inch of each dish. The dishes themselves were beautiful and, oh, lo how wonderful, there were giant linen napkins (black of course!) with steak knives, forks, and ... wait for it ... spoons, big ones! No one seems to be serving spoons any more in LA, except Salazar. I almost cried with happiness. And the take home bag was huge (yay!). Frankie was our waiter. He was hip, cool, smiley and quick. Respect, Frankie! The bill was beyond reasonable -- especially considering the generous portions and high quality, to say nothing of artistry, of every dish. We found parking; the weather was perfect -- cool and sunny; and every kind of human being were our patio-mates, a real melting pot. Huge trees overhead. There is an indoor space for bad weather (rare). What's not to love? We will be back ...

    Regular Nachos (No Meat)

    Passed by Salazar the night before and noticed it was packed, so we decided to come back and check it out for lunch--and I'm glad we did. There's no dedicated parking lot, but we were able to find plenty of street parking nearby without too much trouble. The restaurant is mostly outdoor seating, which was perfect since it was a sunny day--great vibe overall. It's also dog-friendly, which is always a huge plus. Our server greeted us with water and menus right away and got us settled in. We were sticking to a fish-only diet that day, so we ordered a few seafood options to share. We got the shrimp burrito (with queso Chihuahua, red rice, beans, and pico de gallo), the nachos (loaded with queso Chihuahua, chipotle mayo, salsa verde, onions, and cilantro), the ceviche de camarón, and the pescado estilo baja tacos. The ceviche de camarón was a 10/10--super fresh with shrimp, rock cod, avocado, mango, and citrus. So flavorful and refreshing. The pescado estilo baja tacos were also a 10/10--perfectly battered rock cod with great texture and flavor. The shrimp burrito and nachos were solid and satisfying, especially if you're looking for something more filling. The drink menu looked really good, and I ended up ordering a mango leche, which was delicious--sweet, creamy, and refreshing. Overall, great food, great vibe, and definitely worth the visit. I can see why it was so packed the night before. I'd definitely come back.

    Classic Margarita with Tromba Tequila. Tasty $16

    4.5 Stars Salazar has been on my radar for quite some time, and I finally had the opportunity to check it out. It's an open-air eatery with an indoor/outdoor bar, so the fact that it was warm & sunny the day of my visit was perfect! The desert like patio provides a relaxing ambiance and an escape from the city. I can imagine it's even prettier at night. On the menu you'll find traditional Sonora style dishes with a modern twist and creative craft cocktails. Our server Will was darling - very friendly and attentive. We ordered Chips & Salsa Vaquera to share. My friend got the Pescado Estilo Baja Taco with a side of Frijoles Negros (vegan beans are also available.) I ordered the Fried Zucchini Taco and the Classic Margarita. The house made chips were light and crispy and the salsa had a slightly smoky flavor. We enjoyed them. My taco was delish! The house made tortilla was topped with a battered zucchini slice, cabbage slaw, chipotle mayo & mango Pico de Gallo. The hand shaken margarita was expertly prepared and refreshing. My friend enjoyed her taco and the beans. We were both happy that we decided to come here. While chatting and soaking in the ambience we happened to notice the resident cat lounging in the sunshine next to us. She's beautiful and her name is Monty. Will assured us that she is well cared for by the owner. (She has her own little house on the premises and her face is on the staff's hats.) Salazar is a charming place where you can enjoy good food & drink in a cozy little oasis. *Vegan & vegetarian options. *Pet friendly *Street parking

    Good place to relax and enjoy. Drinks here are absolutely delicious, loved the machaca tacos. Service here is great.

    Brittney D.

    Came to the restaurant because I was in the area and was excited to try it for the first time. We started with some agua frescos, which were amazing salsa, and guacamole. we both tried a few tacos and they really hit the spot. Service was amazing and the outdoor dining experience was very nice even though it was a hot day. Really enjoyed myself would definitely return back and also refer it to others for some authentic tasting Mexican food.

    Carne Asada fries.. so Bomb!! MUST TRY
    Brenda C.

    This is still one of my fav spots to come to. After the last visit- the manager was kind enough to reach out to me. So Thank You. Was able to try some new items on the menu! Fish tacos- BomB! Corn esquite Bomb! Chilaquiles/green- Bomb! And of course the drinks are tasteful and so pretty!

    Such a gorgeous restaurant with one of the most pretty looking patios in town. It looks like most people who left negative reviews feel like the food is overpriced. I understand them, but don't necessarily agree with them since my meatless burrito was only $10. Was it the best burrito I've ever tried? Not by a long shot. Did I still enjoy my lunch? You bet I did!

    Cute outdoor spot with lights and a lot of seating. Good drinks, had their paloma. Ceviche was amazing, came on 3 tostadadas and tried their al pastor and carne asada tacos!

    Great classic marg.
    Steve W.

    I've been here a few times and really enjoy their high quality tacos and classic margaritas. It feels very local and relaxed. I particularly like their carne asada and pollo tacos, and the fish taco has a nice crunch. The guacamole and salsa always has to be good for me and both are excellent. The salsa has a nice sweetness to it and the guac is topped with tasty toasted pepitas. A great place to go before or after a Dodger game.

    Carne Asada Taco, Machaca Taco
    Michelle X.

    This was our place of choice for dinner during Frogtown Fridays. All of their seating is outside on the deck. Even as the night cooled, we stayed warm thanks to the outdoor heaters. It felt like one big patio summer barbeque or backyard cookout. My tacos were delicious and I was impressed by how buttery and soft the flour tortillas made in house were. Definitely elevated the bite. My beans and vegetables side was ok, but probaby should've just been called beans (hardly any veggies). I appreciated that our waiter gave us a rundown of what meats were particularly grilled well that day--felt personal.

    Ask the Community - Salazar

    Do you allow dogs on your patio?

    Yes, they are very pet friendly! My Roc has accompanied us there several times.

    What happened to the trout? I don't see it on the menu and it was one of the most delicious entrees you had.

    The whole place has gone to hell.

    Is there indoor dining with air conditioning?

    No, the entire restaurant is outside.

    Yelp says you're wheelchair accessible, how do we enter the accessible entrance?

    There is a paved entrance off of Ripple Dr and an accessible parking space in the driveway on Fletcher.

    Do we need a reservation?

    No but definitely helpful.

    Do they allow dogs outside on the patio?

    Yes very much so

    Good for large groups?

    Definitely Yes. When I was there they had several large groups and can accommodate any party size. I would give them a call and inform them so you wouldn't have any wait issues.

    Are you open 12/20? There hasn't been reservations available so wanted to check your business hours

    Was it? Yes?

    Are they requiring proof of vaccination?

    No they're not. Masks not required either. It's outdoors

    Do you have a bar area? We were looking to have a drink before our reservation

    we have an outdoor waiting area with drink service

    Hi, trying to find your phone number. Can't find it anywhere?

    We don’t have one. info@salazarla.com can help you out

    Do I need a res for thurs 7/8 for 2 at 5:30?

    No we hold tables for walk ins

    Is there a phone number for reservations? I would like to reserve a party of 10 on Tuesday 6/8 around 8pm if possible?

    Salazar used the app Resy to accept reservations. https://apps.apple.com/us/app/resy/id866163372

    Can to take a walk in party of 4 about 5:30pm tonight?

    If i come at 9:30 would i still be seated/served?

    yes

    Would you take a walk in at 730 for 5 people this evening?

    Walk-in Las are excepted.. but there might be a long wait. You should try and reserve using the Resy app they are on. I go by myself a lot with no reservation and it's usually a good wait, but they get me in. 5 people might take longer

    Hi are you taking reservations for 2 people today?

    We are! On Resy!

    Can I bring my dog?

    yes please do

    How do I make a reservation?

    Www.Resy.com is what they use

We kicked things off with the queso fundido, and wow, it was absolutely delicious! Rich, melty, and packed with flavor, it was the perfect way to start the evening. For my entrée, I ordered the cochinita pibil, which was incredibly tender and saucy in the best way. My husband ordered the short rib, and it was perfectly cooked and full of flavor. On the side, we shared the papas bravas and esquite, both of which complemented our dishes perfectly. The drinks truly elevated the night. My husband and I both love mezcal, and Kateen delivered. I ordered the Valentine's Day "Zona Romántica," which featured mezcal and wine almost like a sangria, but completely unique and beautifully balanced. My husband had the "Gypsy Fever," also mezcal-based, and it was smoky, smooth, and refreshing. Between the food, cocktails, and ambiance, it made for such a romantic and memorable evening.

However, the reason I'm giving 2 stars is because of the valet parking experience. First, I was charged $25 even though the sign clearly stated that valet parking is $17 for the first 3 hours, and $25 after 3 hours. Our reservation was at 6:30 PM, we arrived on time, and we left before 9 PM, so the charge did not make sense. When I asked the valet attendant, he kept saying, "because you dined there," without giving any clear explanation. If it is actually a flat rate for restaurant guests, then that should be clearly stated upfront to customers. Second, when I got into my car, I noticed that someone had touched the navigation settings because the compass direction and display were different from what I normally use. I do not understand why there was any need to adjust or touch my navigation system at all. I really think the restaurant needs to improve and better manage its valet parking system. Honestly, it felt like I was being charged a random price just because I was told, "you dined there." If there is a flat valet rate for restaurant guests, that information should be clearly communicated upfront instead of leaving customers confused at the end.

Hollenbeck was good but I definitely enjoyed the Okie burrito more, I ordered the "original" size once and didn't seem to learn my lesson the second time, these burritos can feed two in Original size. They offer a "Mini" version which would be satisfactory for one person. My favorite thing about these burritos is how "home-made" they are, the salsas and meats are fresh and taste like they came out of an abuelitas kitchen. I still need to try the crunchy tacos and nachos which look great, I recommend trying this classic establishment at least once if you're in the area.
