Honestly, I expected a different outcome when I asked for tacos. Service was good, staff was incredibly kind, but maybe I made the wrong choice out of something I would have liked here. I had gotten the wrong impression and assumed that they would grill the tacos like they would a birria taco, but now thinking how there was no caldo (sauce) to cook the tacos off of. I asked for the soft tacos, and if they could warm it up, but it was only warmed up with the taco on a grill for a few seconds. Overall, the tacos and nachos w/salsa weren't that great. The nachos were more on the stale side and the tacos were something I felt anyone could put together. Food still did taste fresh such as vegetables and meat. Also, the seating was nice overall, many seats and space. read more

Salsa Fresca Mexican Grill - Mexican Near Me - Avon, Connecticut

Takeout review: Salsa Fresca is a fast casual Mexican restaurant. It's a franchise with multiple locations in New York and Connecticut. It reminded me of Moe's and Chipotle. This place has been on my list to try, so I was excited to finally check it out. I ordered the Tijuana Mama which is a burrito with Mexican rice, ground beef, shredded cheese, shredded lettuce, salsa fresca, sour cream, and guacamole. You get to pick a sauce and salsa to go with it; I chose the mango habanero and sweet chipotle salsa. The burrito was tasty and the sauce and salsa amped it up. It also came with tortillas chips and salsa as a side. The food tasted fresh; I know it's not real Mexican food but for Americanized Mexican food, it's pretty decent. In the end, yes I would order from them again! read more

I usually always enjoy my meal here and never have any issues. However, the past online order I made included two 2oz Guacamole sides when I ordered two 8oz sides. It's not the worst thing ever, but very disappointing considering the store was closed by the time I got home and I live half an hour away from the closest location. read more

"I've been looking around a while You've got something for me Oh, I've got a brand-new pair of roller skates You've got a brand-new key" (Melanie) They are brand new, and have some service issues to iron out, but our dinner from the brand-new Salsa Fresca in Avon was excellent. If you're familiar with the menu and the ordering process at Chipotle or Moe's, you'll feel right at home at Salsa Fresca. You order your food by moving down the ordering line "Subway Style" and select 1) your style -Burrito, Bowl, Tacos, Salad, Nachos or Quesadilla, 2) your protein - chicken, 2 kinds of beef, pork, or roasted veggies, 3) your extras -cheese, guacamole, pico, corn, beans, etc. You can customize your meal as above or go with one of their "Signature" dishes or specials. All choices come with a bag of very lightly salted chips and a container of fresh salsa. We ordered a chicken quesadilla and a customized "Made to Order" Salad Bowl with Chipotle Chicken. They totaled $23 after tax and before tip. My salad bowl included Mexican rice, chicken, lettuce, pico, roasted vegetables, fajita onions and peppers, and a spicy salsa. It was a HUGE portion, I liked it a lot, and thought it tasted great. My wife's chicken quesadilla looked pretty stacked with chicken, and her portion was big enough that we know what we'll have for dinner Saturday night. Being so new, we definitely saw some improvement opportunities on the service side. #1 - Each individual order is to include a small bag of chips and a container of salsa. We had to ask for our second bag, and there was no second container of salsa. #2 Our experiences while ordering and while signing up for their Rewards Club did not go smoothly and required a more experienced worker to jump in and navigate the serving line and get us signed up on line. #3 After we signed up for the Rewards Club, the screen flashed a message "Congrats for signing up -you get a free guacamole and 50 points for joining". The server said we get the free guacamole NEXT time, not now, which is 1,000% at variance to what we saw on the screen. Eventually, she conceded our point and gave us one of those 1/4 cup containers of guac., which by the way was fantastic. But it was disappointing to have to argue for it. Bottom Line? The food was excellent, portions were big, and the overall value is very good. On a side note, yesterday was their soft opening, and all customer orders were free, But I was disgusted to hear about one piggish customer that ordered 14 things and probably needed a wheelbarrow to transport his free bounty. What a greedy pig! read more

The food (as in the ingredients) is good. Service and assembly sucks though, and I frequently get food thats totally cold. I came in today early after placing an order for a couple or burritos, and somehow the food was still cold and incredibly sloppily prepared (which is not even remotely the first time, burrito typically comes apart immediately ). This is the fourth time in a row this has happened. How hard is it to wrap a standard menu burrito with no additions? I had really high hopes for this place but a recent staff changeover has made it a place you should skip. read more

This place is slammin. Idk why the hate. Fresh ingredients, always get great portions, fast service, clean. More for me I guess. read more

Kinda boring burrito bowl...was told beef was spicy....bland...the "salsa" they gave with the side of chips...tomato puree...no spice...food was tasty...just NO HEAT read more

While in Avon on Cinco de Mayo, we decided to stop by this new Salsa Fresca location for a quick and easy meal! The staff were so friendly and welcoming, and I loved their festive headbands for the holiday! We enjoyed our burrito bowl, tacos, nachos, and burrito. Everything was very clean, and the ingredients used were definitely high-quality! read more

Not nearly as good as other Salsa Fresca locations. I got a Baja chicken salad and the chicken was chopped up so small it had dried out and wasn't nearly as tasty as other locations. Service was okay - I only waited a few minutes for my turn since there were three people in front of me and only two people working. Overall, I'll stick to the Newington location from now on. read more

Beware when ordering online... food was good, but my chicken burrito didn't have any chicken in it!!

I went there last evening to get some tacos. They had the fixings on a back counter not in the normal space. So I had to order them from memory. When I got home and bit into one the taco was ice cold as if it had just come out of the freezer. When I returned to the restaurant for refund, they did not even apologize. I do not think they will be in business for long read more

Service is terrible, young man making my food couldn't even remember our chips and salsa... extremely small portions, my boyfriend got charged for double protein and he didn't even put a full scoop in each time. I had more toppings on my 3 tacos than his entire bowl. Ridiculous & tasted like butt!! read more

Teenager made burrito which fell apart immediately Very chinsy on ingredients put in Corn tasted and looked old Horrible experience in Avon CT Will not return Christian just told Me to email support@salsafrescagrill.com. I already have numerous times with no replies from them read more

I usually never have an issue with any of the servers there. The last few times there has been one server that always gives me half of what I pay for. No joke one scoop of rice and barely any protein. This time I got two bowls (one for me and my boyfriend) and I have never been more disappointed. I am a small person but let me tell you, I was still hungry after. Im honestly not sure if I'll be going back, has been upsetting lately especially when coming off a long shift. read more

I'm not one to complain about food but I feel obligated to write a review. The fajita burrito and grilled buffalo chicken ranch- they're dog shit. The buffalo chicken was like 80% shit, 20% chicken. First bite of the fajita burrito had me pucker. There was a fowl after taste that made me think something in it was spoiled. I still ate it all because I'm a savage but I definitely won't be going back. I had no issues with the service. 2 stars because it was edible. read more

Food is good. Service not so much. I wouldn't go back considering so many other good options around. I ordered nachos and very little cheese was put on so I asked for a little more and got charged for it. Really?! The place was pretty empty and for $21, I don't feel it was worth it. read more

Not good customer service. Lady at the front was not nice in the way she answered the questions as if she doesn't care what customer thinks.Website options are different than what is offered at store and they say it's marketing people handling online orders. Not consistent!! Yet another disappointment in Avon area. read more

Just went to the new Salsa Fresca location in Avon and had excellent food, great service, and a nice location. Forget Moe's, Taco Bell or Chipotle come here instead for better food, a nicer place to eat, and an excellent value. read more

I love this place, come very often. Everyone who works there is awesome except for one lady who makes this review a 1 star. The older lady who works gives smaller then average proportions with everything you choose. She also will put enough cheese to feed a mouse on your bowl and when you ask for more she will charge you extra with out telling you. She also was eating while making my bowl which is disgusting and something I would never do as I also work in the restaurant buisness. I will be back definitely but will ask for someone else to make my bowl. read more

If you are going to order ahead, don't waste your time. iIt is NEVER ready. I waited 30 mins for my order, AFTER ordering on my phone. That is ridiculous. They should credit me back for waiting so long. my time is money as well. This is the second time. read more

the worse place to eat. they don't even speak English!!! can't understand what I ordered therefore screwed it up several times!!

Food was great! I went at 8pm and the food was still very fresh! Workers were nice! The place inside was clean and quiet! For about $11 I got a salad bowl with chips, good prices! read more
