Ordered fajitas, see pic below. When they were brought out, I asked the bartender if this is what they normally looked like and he said "yes". The most unappetizing presentation of fajitas ever. Looked like they were steamed or microwaved. No browning at all on anything and zero fajita smell. The pico was void of any lime juice, which is unforgivable and lazy. Just a bad attempt at Mexican fare. I do like the cozy, warm ambience here and the bartender was attentive. Otherwise, I would have given a poor rating.

Salsa cocina is a good place for authentic Mexican food. My favorite dish is the chicken/shrimp fajitas and chicken chimichangas. Great atmosphere with plenty seating. They have upstairs seating for private parties and the bar is nice as well. Not too expensive and they give generous portions. Great restaurant to come for birthday celebration A+

Had a great experience for dinner on a Saturday night. We had about a 5 minute wait to be seated. Server was very attentive. Food was hot and fresh. Husband ordered fish tacos. Son had a burrito and 2 chicken tacos. I had the tequila line shrimp. It was all so good. This is a great casual spot for the family.

Salsa is one of those places where atmosphere, extensive menu and attentive staff come together to create a great experience. Portions are generous and the Top Shelf Margarita is inexpensive and highly recommended. Service is quick and food was hot and tasty. My shrimp was cooked perfect, as was my wife's Carne Asada. There is also a nice patio area just outside that you can bring your food and drinks to, but I don't believe they provide service to that area. Nice place to come for a quick bite at the bar, or meeting friends in a group.

My husband and I just got back from lunch at Chukis Tacos 2. This was my first time eating here,…read moreand I will definitely be back! The food was excellent and we had a great server (Maggie) who helped us navigate the menu and the array of complimentary sauces. We ordered chips and dip (homemade) and this is not the standard bagged chips with salsa bottle. Crisp and substantial chips with fresh, flavorful, slightly spicy salsa. Really good! Maggie recommended the Birria Burrito with consume for my husband. Wow!!! Loaded with tender and flavorful shredded beef, whole beans, rice, and cheese in a grilled tortillia wrapper with a rich and hearty consume. He has a healthy appetite and still took some home. I got 2 alpastor tacos, which were excellent. Tender and flavorful pork with just enough pineapple. I alsi had a grilled chicken taco that was good, but not as luscious as the pastor. We LOVED the sauces. Yes, you got some mighty heat with a few of these, but they never sacrificed flavor for the sake of heat. Great pickled onion and habenaros, fresh crisp radish and cucumber, smokey, spicy dips. What is not to love!! Churos for desert, sprinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Clean, well lit reasurant. Casual. Friendly service, great parking!! We will be back (and bring friends!)

I still can't stop thinking about the sauce station here. There's a private parking lot shared with the surrounding businesses, and the restaurant has around 15 tables inside. It is a good casual spot if you are looking to dine here. FOOD: This restaurant does not serve complimentary chips and salsa. It is $2.95 an order. 1. Torta Villa Carbon (4/5; marinated grilled chicken topped with grilled onions, grilled pineapple, melted cheese, jalapeños, and avocado): This was huge. I ended up saving half for lunch the next day. The combination of sweet and savory flavors worked really well together. 2. Campechano Burrito (4/5; steak strips and chorizo with rice, beans, lettuce, onion, tomato, and jalapeño): Steak and chorizo are always a winning combination, and this burrito did not disappoint. 3. Chirucas Chimichanga (4/5; two medium chimichangas stuffed with rice, beans, cheese dip, and your choice of meat, served with lettuce, pico de gallo, and sour cream): I chose the grilled marinated pork (al pastor), which was flavorful and satisfying. The server mentioned that the chicken version is their favorite. The service was decent overall, though it could be slow at times. I noticed a few tables waiting a while before servers came to take orders or refill drinks, and my drink was empty for a bit before getting a refill. Dinner service can get very busy, as every table was once full in one of my visits. Would I come back? Absolutely.

My feet were sticking to the floor, the toilets were disgusting, there was dust so thick on the partitions it was as if they had never been wiped down. The whole place had a grimy feel/smell to me. The food? No. My hubs got cheese enchiladas, the server suggested he add protein ok-chicken-these had to be the worse enchiladas we have ever tasted. The chicken had a funny taste. I got the Fresco bowl I think its called, no protein. Bland, the little bit of guacamole they had ion there? No taste. The flight of salsa was so so. Hubs wanted to try a margarita. That was the best thing about the whole experience. $70 later for two people the only thing we have to show for it was my hubs waking up from sleep later on sick-three times. He ate nothing else after our lunch besides fruit so you do the math. So yes, our first time will be our last. My daughter has been here with friends and said the only thing she enjoyed was her drink so this may just be a good place for drinks.

I ordered a delicious lemon berry sour cocktail, which came with tito's vodka, blackberry, strawberries, and a citrus sour. For my meal, I ordered the shrimp and grits with gulf shrimp, mushrooms, shallots, garlic butter sauce, green onion, cheesy grits. So yummy! I would easily go back for both the cocktail and shrimp and grits if in the area in the future.

We went during lunch time, so there were still quite a few people there. However, we were seated pretty quickly. We immediately received salsa and chips. I ordered queso and it was good and cheesy (I have to emphasize that because I've been to several places and had watered down cheese). Next, we ordered lunch. I tried the fully loaded baked potato. It was good and filled with plenty of vegetables, meat, and cheese. The potato was very fresh. I truly enjoyed it. We also had the Caldo De Camarón soup. It was packed with Shrimp broth with shrimp, onions, potatoes, bell peppers, cilantro and avocado. Too, we had a rice, steak, chicken, and shrimp plate that was topped with lots of queso cheese. Everything was great! The vibe is casual and laid back. We enjoyed our experience.

I ordered the Carne Al Carbon, rehydrated dried beef in rich chili sauce. So good but maybe the only true Mexican like item on the Menu. Along with the regular Mem-Mex food choices that can be found anywhere. Tacos, fajitas, chimichangas and Quesadillas and Margaritas. The guac was some of the best I've had and made fresh; they even ask if you want it smooth or chunky. Tried to get extra mole on the side and was told everything is pre-made and they just heat it up so there was no speciality changes here. Definably family owned and operated as the small grandkids are helping by busing and delivering menu items. Good Vibes served here!

Well good golly Miss Molly 'cause she is back! Molly's was one of the first real Mexican food…read morerestaurants in the city filled with Latin style restaurants where the other guys foods resembled what you'd expect from TV dinners. It was great, everything was authentic - but then Molly retired and the new owners moved the location to the hip and popular Overton Square. The restaurant turned into a bar - strong drinks with just OK food. And that was fun, if only you didn't come here to eat. Reciently the restaurant has changed hands and the new owners have turned it back into a real Mexican eatery. Now the menu is awesome, and about half of it caters to vegetarian appetites. And not wheatgrass, and Tofu... this is real Mexican food. Don't get me wrong, there is plenty of pork chicken and beef. There are very large menu. And now, everything you look at it is delicious. I have been coming here since they opened and just now realized, I wanna try everything on this new menu. We had the beef chili rellinos with mole and refried beans, which I don't know how they do it but the refried beans have no pork and taste like they're loaded with bacon. She opted for a a la cart selection of black bean soup, roasted poblano pepper and cheese tamale, mushroom, cheese and spinach enchilida served with guac and pico. And as soon as our server left with our order, we immediately felt like we should have ordered this or that instead until our food arrived. TBO. Everything was totally delicious. I guess it means we just have to come back more often and try everything else on the menu. My server was amazing even though we did not order alcohol... (I had the worst feeling that since this place was really a drinking establishment for so long that they really kind of expected to grab a Margarita). The bill came with an included 20% tip, which I would always do anyway but i'm still kind of eah about telling me how to tip... politics! That said the prices were reasonable and the food was killing it delicious.
