Nice place an clean and comfortable very good food very good service I love the restaurant

My girlfriend invited me to try Salsa & Beer for the first time, and honestly, I get why this place is so popular. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt alive. The decor filled with old black and white photos, the energy of the restaurant, and even having two full bars gave the place a fun, authentic vibe that instantly stood out. Our server was attentive, friendly, and made great recommendations. I ordered the carne asada with shrimp, and the flavor was incredible perfectly grilled with that smoky, straight off the grill taste that you hope for but rarely get. My girlfriend ordered the beef taquitos and loved them. We both had margaritas. I went with the classic on the rocks with salt, and she had the strawberry margarita, which was equally great. What really shocked us was how FAST the food came out. I kid you not... warp speed. Usually when food comes out that quick, quality suffers not here. Everything was fresh, hot, flavorful, and plated perfectly. Living in Hollywood, this honestly felt like a breath of fresh air: great service, quality food, strong drinks, and an overall experience that actually lives up to the reputation. By the time we left, there was already a line of cars waiting for parking, so I highly recommend arriving early for parking and shorter wait times. - Ian Lantz read more

decided to stop at salsa and beer in Sunday afternoon. Keep in mind parking is crazy previously this location have two parking lots you can use but from the looks of it now one of the lots is shared with the other business . Have to wait approx : 20 min to park in main lot. Husband and I ordered chicken and asada Burrito like always this time both salsas was a bit more spicy than usual . During the restaurant I started to feel nauseous I ate 1/2 my burrito took the rest home . I usually have a high tolerance with spicy salsa . the sour cream helped the spicy flavor tone down a bit for my spouse . When we both arrived home we started to have really bad stomach pain , for my self I threw up arriving home . I'm not sure if it could have been the salsa being spicy or the spices used in the salsa . Will definitely be in a look out next time and notify our servers salsas taste was off .. read more

Food: 5/5. Delicious. Potato taquitos were a hit, and the first bite had us going "MMM." So crispy on the outside, yet soft (not mushy) on the inside. Cheesy potato goodness. The chips and bean dip were a personal favorite, and I don't even like beans! Love how the chips stay crunchy and how the bean dip is warm with a spicy kick. The enchiladas are delicious, and the plates they come in are huge. The chicken is not dry, and everything, the rice, beans, and enchiladas, all go together very well. The rice is delicious and kind of tastes like buldak sauce mixed with rice (minus the heat). The portions are so big here that I packed 75% of my plate away and took it home with me. The chips and dip really fill you up quickly (not complaining). Ambience: 4/5. Love the decor and unique interior. It almost feels like you're dining inside a theme park. The pictures hung on the walls give it a personal touch. It was very cozy and comforting dining in the restaurant, but it felt hot and stuffy at times. Not very well ventilated. Parking: 3/5. The parking attendant who was directing traffic and parking was very kind. However, I do feel they could improve on expanding parking or making changes so that a long line of cars doesn't trail out onto the street throughout the night. A person cut me while I was waiting in line to park, and overall it felt quite chaotic. Service: 2.5/5. Service was fine but felt extremely rushed. Didn't get to finish my sentence before my server walked away and then backtracked to hear the rest of my request. Had to wave him down to get his attention. Additionally, the hosts were standoffish and did not make us feel welcome. Don't expect to be blown away by the service here. Would I come back? Perhaps not to this location, but it would definitely be worth checking out another location of Salsa & Beer. The food is the only thing that is really holding this place up. Ambience also adds some points. Service was rather lackluster, very meh. Just remember to order yourself some potato taquitos, and you'll forget the rest. :) read more

I could not believe how packed this place was. Although it was extremely crowded, the service was fast and efficient and catered to my needs perfectly! Unfortunately I came here after a long road trip and was trying to get in and out as quickly as possible. I would love to come back here and spend some time at the bar and enjoying the crowd! Good lookin staff an good looking patrons. Would not mind watching football all day here on a Sunday. The he food was excellent as well! I was pleasantly surprised to find out it was Zacatecas style; it hats where my family is from and it made me smile. I wish there was one closer to me but I'll be back if I'm in the area! read more

Salsa & Beer - Enchilada plate - Mexican Near Me - North Hollywood, California

I work down the street from here, and I usually visit once a month because coming weekly might break my bank, as it's kinda pricey. Today, I ordered my favorite, a Spicy Green Burrito with chicken to go, and as always, it was delicious. They're always busy, so I recommend calling in your order, and parking can be tough too. The ambiance is always great, with dim lights and good music. The portions here are always large and well worth the price. Your to-go order comes with chips and bean dip, and they also have a salsa bar for your convenience. My lunch cost me $28 with tip. I will be back again next month. read more

This is a go to place at my work when there's a special occasion and lunch is being bought for us. I remember one time we tried ordering from somewhere new around Christmas, but they were closed, but Salsa & Beer came to the rescue. Not only were they open, but the food was prepared quickly and there was so much of it that we had a proper holiday feast. First of all, the portions by themselves are big, like I always end up taking half of what I ordered home. Secondly, on top of the main dishes, they give us bags and bags of chips and a bunch of extra rolled tortillas wrapped in foil. Lastly, everything just tastes good. That being said, I'm sure that we'll be ordering from them again in the near future. read more

Came on a Wednesday and was still lively and busy. First time coming and the bean dip blew me away!! Probably the best bean dip I've ever had it was flavorful and spicy. The chipotle burrito was delicious as well but my sister got the torta which blew us both away! Will definitely come back when I'm in the area to try other food! read more

The simple things that makes you happy. We actually found parking in the lot in the back....lol.... This place regardless whenever you come is alway pretty packed. Saturday early afternoon we stopped by to meet some friends for lunch. Like mentioned we actually got parking in the back which was amazing. Parking can be a bitch as the lot is alway full which leaves you looking for parking in the neighborhood. When we walked in, there wasn't a line so we got seated right away. But it was quite busy already. You order off the QR code on the table. I'm sure if you ask for a menu they'll bring it out. And of course chips and bean dip alway comes out for your enjoyment. Plus the salsa bar if you're needing something extra. Drinks to start with margaritas and beer. Hey, it's Mexican food. Margaritas were quite tasty which is a plus and pretty big in size. Entrees, my usual the Guadalajara fajitas. A combination of steak, chicken and shrimp with grilled veggies and drizzled with the spicy chipotle sauce. That comes with rice and beans and tortillas. It's a must and the portions is pretty big. Good for sharing. Everything comes out piping hot and sizzling. Other dishes had was the steak burrito which is the size of your arm. It's massive and comes with rice and beans as well. A combination plate with enchiladas and taco and the enchiladas plate. Everything pretty much comes with rice and beans. Food is alway excellent. The salsa bar is great with a load of sauces to choose from. Depending on your spice level, there's pretty much a good selection. Chips and dips is bottomless but don't overdo it. Better enjoy your food. Price wise is good. For the amount of food you get, it's worth it. There's a full bar on hand. By the time we left, there was a line both for dining and the parking lot. People know and love this place which is why it's alway busy. There's also a few other locations throughout the valley. I would say it's a valley staples for Mexican food. read more

What a great way to spend my rainy day. Came here for dinner to celebrate my cousins birthday & the food did not disappoint. The bean dip & fresh tortilla chips are an automatic A+. Has a little kick too that I enjoyed. I ordered a raspberry frozen margarita & it was amazing. Strong enough but the tequila wasn't overwhelming & it tasted good as well. I finished it faster than I thought I would. For food I ordered one of the combo plates. It was 2 beef flautas, 2 chicken cream enchiladas, rice, beans & guacamole. Delicious & HUGE portions. I had plenty left over since I had so many chips with bean dip lol I love the inside, I also appreciate the dim lighting. It really suits the indoor space. There's also a patio area to sit that's really nicely lit & cozy. Service was great, my server was always checking on our group. Oh & the dessert was amazing! They brought a churro fried ice cream that was soo goood! I can't wait to get some again read more

Just when we thought we had found the best Mexican food around, we found Salsa & Beer! Now we have officially found the best Mexican food around. The parking lot is a bit tough to maneuver in and out of due to small spaces and a narrow exit, but there is street parking as well. We were greeted and seated quickly to a spacious booth in the back. Our waitress was friendly and arrived with bean dip and chips. There is a salsa bar with a variety of salsas that range from mild to very spicy, all fresh and delicious. We love a good jalapeño margarita and these were top notch and so very delicious! We already want another one. Our lunch was fresh, very flavorful and the serving was more than enough and left us with plenty to take home. We have found our new favorite place to enjoy lunch and highly recommend Salsa & Beer for your next meal! Cheers! read more

If you read my reviews you'll know I don't go handing out 5 stars all willy nilly, however I have never had a bad experience here. The service is great and the food is always fast. They have several locations but this is the only one I've been to. There's multiple TVs near the bar areas, usually playing sports. Never heard any music jn there nor is it really loud. It's a little dark and divey on the inside, with lots of smoke from all the sizzling fajita plates being brought to tables. Items I personally recommend: The taquitos: they're not dry liked you'd get at most places, great flavor (I like to get mine with a side of the cream sauce which is similar to queso) The carnitas: HUGE portion, well seasoned and juicy Burritos: they're gigantic Bean dip: this automatically comes to the table with warm chips. It's thick, well seasoned and has a little spice. It's the same dip that comes on the plate with rice. The margaritas: I prefer mine in the rocks with no salt. You don't need more than 2 cuz those babies will sneak up on you You'll always leave with leftovers. Come before dark to avoid the line for parking, the line gets long because the lot is small so you may be waiting a bit for parking. If you're not alone, go get your name on the list first while waiting for parking. If you want to avoid waiting or issues with parking go closer to closing. It will be quiet and quick.

Ever since Covid, this place hasn't been the same... Their service has always been friendly and fast and while that hasn't changed much.. their quality has definitely gone down We literally sat down and got our fajitas before our drinks.. that was so odd to me. Literally got our food in 2 minutes and our drinks 5 minutes later. The tomatoes and cilantro were cut up so uneven and huge. To me it's not about taste but also presentation and the whole thing kinda seemed rushed and sloppy. $80 including tip for 2 fajitas and 2 sodas... I don't know read more

A long time ago we tried this place and it was really good, but we forgot where it was. Fortunately we found it again this week and the food is still amazing. We love love love the beans they serve with the chips at the beginning of the meal. The portions are ginormous and the quality is mom approved. We all really liked what we got, but beyond that, the drinks were good, the rice was nice and fluffy, the Salsa bar had tons of options and the service was great. There was a long line to get in but the staff sat us quickly. This place is so worth the drive. 100% recommended. read more

Salsa & Beer #2 Forever!! Tonight I had my favorite item on the menu which is the Spicy Chipotle Burrito Mojado with carne asada. Incredible and perfect burrito. Melty, hearty, and exactly what you want from a wet burrito (will be trying it with shrimp next time because I just know that's gonna be bomb). As always, I must sing my praises for Salsa & Beer's spicy bean dip that they so graciously offer to tables as we wait. A true delicacy. read more

Salsa & Beer - Asada flautas - Mexican Near Me - North Hollywood, California

Salsa & Beer is one of my favorite Mexican food spots. They have a couple locations in the valley. This location is always very busy, typically have to wait to find a parking spot, but it goes pretty fast and even though they are super busy, they get you seated pretty fast normally as the place is really big with indoor seating as well as a large patio area. This location also has two bars you can grab drinks at while waiting, nice to be able to relax with a cold beer while waiting and catch the game or just hang with friends or family. The salsa here is excellent, my favorite is the Orange Habanero salsa, can't get enough of it, nice heat, but also tastes so good. They serve you unlimited chips and salsa and bean dip, can't fill up on just those while waiting for your food. Speaking of the food, they are very generous with the portions her, so come hungry and you will probably have plenty to take home as well. Pro tip: make sure you bring cash, otherwise they charge you a fee to use a credit card, I think it is 3.5%, could be more these days, but save the extra money and pay cash. You can't go wrong with anything here, have gotten so many things and loved them. Tonight we ordered steak fajitas, asada burrito, asada burrito molcajete burrito steak and shrimp tacos. Everything was amazing and we have food for a couple more days I'm sure. A family of 4 will cost over $100, if you get drinks, could be well past. But the value you get with the portions, it is a good deal. Enjoy! read more

Salsa & Beer is one of those places that completely delivers every time. The portions are generous, the food is consistently delicious, and the prices are more than fair considering the quality you're getting. It's rare to find a spot where the value is this good while the food still tastes like it's made with real care. One of the best parts of the experience is their salsa bar. It absolutely exceeds expectations with a great variety of salsas, each with its own flavor and level of heat. It's the kind of salsa bar where you actually want to try everything. And then there's the bean dip they bring out with the chips while you're waiting for your food. Honestly, that alone is worth the visit. It's warm, flavorful, and completely addictive. It's the kind of thing where you keep saying "just one more refil" until suddenly the bowl is gone. This has become my go to spot to bring friends, family, and even business meetings when I want to impress people with great Mexican food. It's reliable, welcoming, and always leaves people happy. Between the amazing portions, the quality of the food, the incredible salsa bar, and that dangerously good bean dip, Salsa & Beer is a place I'll keep coming back to again and again. read more

I've tried to put my thoughts down about Salsa & Beer more than few times now. Whatever spews onto the screen this time, I'm gonna just post. It was nothing bad but it wasn't anything great either. Which "Good" falls right between ... Parking sucked. Sucks. If you know the location, if it's busy, the private lot in back gets so backed up that traffic backs up onto Sherman. I witnessed this coming and going. I parked down at the Home Depot and walked over. And prayed that the group of homeless didn't mess with my car. They didn't. Service was great. I mentioned that I tried to share my thoughts of this place a few times - that's because I was here on Cinco de Mayo with friends. So, know it was packed and there definitely was a wait to get seated. Yet, the team took care of the party like rockstars. No issues with any orders as we were watching a game as well so we lingered. But we kept ordering yet nothing was botched and drinks were refilled without even having to ask. And the food was good. See pics. Served fresh and hot. I say it was good but not mind blowing. Good enough that I'd have it again but knowing that serving size was "Ran" size and skip munchin' on the chips and salsa leaving room for the entree. I'd also skip dessert as it was just ice cream. Stick with liquid desserts because they were good. Of course you know I'm referring to the adult beverages. They were balanced and I tasty. Liked them enough that I had a few. So, would I go back is the question that's left. I would and I'd park where I parked and try other things on the menu. read more

Starting from the ambiance, very chill place . Makes you feel like you're eating in someone's home in Mexico. The staff is friendly and helpful when we had questions about the menu. Now the food, I've eaten in A LOT of Mexican Restaurants and it's hard to find a place that has food that stands out but this place did it for me. Maybe it's the specific dish I got but I hadn't had an enchilada this good in a long time. I don't live near this area so I can't say I'll be coming often but will definitely be back when I can. The meat was soft and the sauce was perfect. The serving portions are also very big so the price you pay is not bad when you see the amount of food they give. My husband had the burrito in the same spicy Molcajete sauce and he was impressed as well. read more

We used to really like salsa & beer. We hadn't been here in years mainly because how busy they are and out of the way since we moved to simi valley. We happened to be in the neighborhood today so decided to stop by. We will not be coming back. 1. High prices 2. Slow service 3. Low quality ingredients 4. Loud and smokey It took 40 mins for our 2 plates to be delivered The portions were generous and the rice and beans good,but the prices have almost doubled. $25 for enchilada plate $30 for fajita plate. But our stomachs hurt as we were leaving which isn't normal. Probably low quality corn and oils used. The enchiladas we just ok. Fajita meat good but not a ton of meat. We won't be coming back read more

Another revisit since the Covid era. Salsa & Beer is great. It's comforting, greasy, a little messy, and delicious. When they bring out the warm bean dip with chips, you know you're gonna be loosening your belt soon. We came to eat, and eat we did. Spicy Molcajete Enchiladas, Spicy Green Burrito, hard shell Tacos, and plenty of different salsas, from one of the best salsa bars in town. The service has always been good. There are four locations throughout LA, and according to some of the staff, this is the most popular location of all. Definitely worth a visit. read more

Salsa & Beer used to be one of my absolute favorites great food, big portions, and super affordable. I hadn't been in about a year, and I was surprised to see how much the prices have gone up. The Guadalajara fajitas have almost doubled in price, which honestly makes me wonder if that's why it wasn't as busy as it normally would be on a Friday during lunch hour. Also weird that the menus have holes on the prices? So I didn't realize the fajitas doubled until they brought the check. We noticed they forgot to include the steak in our fajitas, but the waitress fixed it once we pointed it out. Service overall felt a bit distant though. She didn't check in with us very often. The food was still good, but the experience wasn't what it used to be. A bit disappointing for a place I used to rave about. read more
