    Jalapeño Margarita
    K C.

    Top notch service combined with flavorful authentic Mexican dishes set the stage for an enjoyable dining experience! The jalapeño margarita is my cocktail of choice and the combo platters are a great option so a variety of recipes may be sampled. I never understand why they aren't crowded, but not having to wait to be seated works for me! I've eaten here several times and always enjoyed the food and the ambience is very nice with colorful Mexican decor throughout making this setting cheerful and inviting!

    Been here twice now and enjoyed both times. Convenient location down the block under train overpass. Short (0.5 mile? ) walk to Capital Theater (and since opposite direction easy to drop off leftovers in car). Nice ambiance, good service, wasn't crowded (despite sold out shows at Cap both times) . Food was tasty, nice sized portions. Some items I've not seen at other places. Drinks were good though slightly overpriced. Fried ice cream disappointing at best. Quickly becoming our Go To Place for pre Show drinks and dinner.

    This food is delicious. There is a lot of food on your plate, typical authentic Hispanic food. I loved it, it was all made with love. The outside seating is upstairs on the roof, there is an elevator at the entrance. The prices are fair especially since the plates are so large, the guacamole is made fresh and in front of you. We didn't get drinks, however they all look very good.

    Great restaurant, the food is good and the staff is always very friendly when I go. Their margaritas are really good too. A few of those and it's definitely a good times. Parking can some times be challenging, but most times you can find parking without too much waiting. I highly recommend you try their burritos, tacos and tortas. Delicious! I will definitely be back!

    Salsa Picante is a delicious Latin American restaurant that commits to making simple flavors explode in the way they are supposed to be; completely natural and delicious. Tonight they accommodated about thirty (yes, 30) of us via one of their dining rooms and their outdoor patio (lots of seating options if you're struggling with the idea of eating out again). They even went as far to separate our checks without asking us as they assumed it would be the most efficient way for all of us to pay. The service is unmatched; these servers are incredibly attentive and are more then cheerful when bringing over your third or fourth bowl of complimentary chips and salsa. The ONLY complaint that I had was that the plantains were a bit tough for my taste, but that's a personal opinion and should not discredit this great hidden gem in Port Chester! Go and enjoy!!

    The workers and host were very friendly.. they were very attentive! The food.. thought it will be authentic Mexican food but to me.. too Americanize ( no offense ) to any viewers! I normally like to eat and taste the country's seasoning and cooking.. this wasn't it! The presentation was better then the actual food.. Again, not bad but will I return... maybe not! I had the Chimichangas and the hubby had the Pepper Steak Picante.. He said parts of it was hard as a rock and other parts were soft.. My plate was ok- nothing crazy. We also had the Empanadas appetizers.. The chicken one was good / the beef ( no taste) flat didn't taste like anything! The Frozen Margarita was 15 dollars ( Warning).. Too Expensive Bill Totaled over $100.. Not worth it-Sorry!

    Had dinner here one evening based on all of the good Yelp reviews. I ordered the Queso Fundido, a side of Guacamole, and the Nachos with Chorizo sausage. I was served a basket of chips and what I assume is their House salsa. The chips were much thicker than I am accustomed to. Some were good, other tasted stale, and a number of them were inedible. They were stuck together and the texture when one put them in one's mouth was so chewy as to be unpleasant. The Queso Fundido was bland and very greasy. I ate some of it, but due to the amount of grease, I abandoned it. I asked for some hot sauce, and received three soufflé cups of three different sauces - one green, two red. The green sauce was rather bland to my palate, but the two reds were outstanding. Both were tasty, hot, and smoky! I completely destroyed the two reds and would have licked the serving cups clean if I thought I could have gotten away with it! The Guacamole was decent enough. Served in a large Granite looking Molcajete bowl. It could have used some seasoning though. I added some of one of the red sauces into the guacamole to give it some additional flavor. The Nachos were also to greasy - due to the Chorizo sausage. I'd come back here again, but perhaps order something else - with either steak or chicken instead. Service was very good.

    Came here for lunch with my family to celebrate a special occasion and we had a really good time. We all enjoyed our plates and everyone ordered something different so we could try a little bit of everything lol. We also got churros for dessert which were really good also. The prices are very fair . We parked in the municipal lot across the street.

    Couldn't finish... too salty
    Luis M.

    Came in for take out with a co-worker of mine during lunch time. I ordered the Chicken burrito and my friend ordered the veggie burrito. The chicken burrito came with a side of yellow veggie rice and black beans. Size was pretty big but lacked in flavor a lot and it was messy. The wrap was super sloppy, couldn't even hold its shape. I've been to Mexico many times and love burritos/tacos! This burrito lacked authentic flavor and structure. The chicken was the worst part for me; it was super over seasoned. The chicken had a bright orange tint to it as if it was smothered in Goya seasoning. It was so salty! As I am writing this review I am chugging down waters to get the salt out of my mouth. That is a sign that if they have over salted their food they don't really know what they are doing. As for the rice it was good but not blown away.. beans had to have been the star of this dish. They would be the only reason that I would come back. If you want authentic Mexican food then this isn't the place for you. I couldn't even finish my dish because of how salty it was.

    Top l to r: Chimichangas, Burritos, side of rice & beans. Mexican soda

Definitely has a quick takeout/hole in the wall vibe, but it's bright by the counter, the place has a nice aesthetic. You order at the till and the food is made to order in the back and they bring your food out to you. We got the nachos, the fish taco bowl (which was a special) and the shrimp fajitas. All the food was bright, fresh and delicious. The fish was cooked very nicely and had great seasoning. Overall, the food was great. We had so much food we took leftovers home. It wasn't just that we got a lot of food, it was that it was delicious as well. And the staff was really nice and attentive. This place was exactly right for what it is. Delicious, quick, easy, with quality ingredients.

The meat (steak/chicken/braised rib) has zero flavor which leads me to believe they do not season the meats. The quesadilla in general just has no flavor at all and is always a mess during takeout. It's a legit puddle of grease every time I order it which leads it to being soggy by the time you actually eat it. The chips? Not sure they even salt these. Overall, the food just isn't good. Service is seems fine and the place is very clean which is a good sign. I do hope they figure it out with the food because it is convenient. Not sure I will be going back. Maybe I'll try again in a few months? Best of luck.

However, I like their other food as well. I've had a great chimichanga and last time I was there, I had some chicken nachos that were served on top of flour tortillas as the nacho rather than corn tortilla chips. It was very good. They have outdoor seating in nice weather and you can get a nice view of their back yard...if you're up high enough you can see a bit of the nearby lake. Service is always friendly and efficient. Even when the parking lot looks full, we've never had trouble getting a table. I think they have a good setup here...nice location, great food, reasonable prices and nice service. It isn't the fanciest place in town but it's great in my book.

Started out well, the server took drink orders, drinks were brought and we ordered the tableside guacamole for the table. The guacamole was made and two of the stone bowls were left. We had finished the chips that come with salsa when you're first seated. We asked the young man who made the guac for chips and small plates. Those never arrived. About 10 minutes later the waiter showed up to take orders and we reminded him that we were still waiting on plates n chips. We also ordered our meals. The small plates arrived a short while later, but not the chips. By this time we were ready for another round of drinks - Unfortunately the waiter (and other staff were nowhere in site). Maybe 10 minutes later the food arrived, we reminded the waiter that the chips never came, asked for salt n pepper that wasn't on the table and ordered another round of drinks. The chips never came, the drinks took about 15 minutes to arrive and 1 of the kids plates never came. We reminded the drink runner and he disappeared. 10 minutes went by and I finally went and found our server hanging out in a hallway outside the kitchen doors with other staff. The kids plate finally arrived along with the long awaited chips. We had 3 young ones with us who are normally great in a restaurant, that had begun getting restless because of the delays in being served. Well, the birthday honorees decided that ordering desert to celebrate their birthdays would prolong the lousy service agony to an unacceptable level. So, I went and tracked down the MIA server again, now hanging out by the hostess stand and asked for the check. I handed him my card immediately without reviewing the bill for fear that he'd disappear for another 15 minutes. He brought back the check for signature. I reviewed the bill which was correct. At this point, where I normally leave a cash tip 25% - 30% depending on the service, I did something I never do. I wrote in a 10% tip (not deserved) on the card and wrote a Note: Sorry but the service tonight was absolutely horrible. AITA - What would you have done? This Server ruined our celebration.

I forget the name of the dish we ordered, bit it was basically a platter of steak, pork carnitas and crumbled chorizo. It was well seasoned; flavorful without being too salty, which is a fault I find in some Mexican restaurants. A plate of tortillas and a side of fresh veggies proved too much for my wife and I to finish. The kids' tacos disappeared in a few minutes.
