This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Allen! I always order the fajita-changa and have never been disappointed. With the chips and salsa, they also bring a bean dip that is wonderful. The wait staff is very attentive and make the experience fun! There is indoor and outdoor seating and the covered patio is lovely, heated in the winter and cooled in the summer. read more

I think they must be writing their own reviews. The Sunday Night Host or Manager on 9/27/2026 is a JOKE. The place is not crowded at 7.30 p.m. but the bar was FULL of dirty dishes and dirty chairs. I put my hand to pull out the bar chair and sticky. The main/patio was semi busy buy maybe 2-3 small tables. No one behind the bar but she may be waiting on them plus the bar. Two left at bar and me. I looked- tables were also filthy. The dude was doing absolutely nothing. He barely greeted me at entry - bar he said and I didn't stay and he just laughed as I walked out. Lost a sale and I doubt I'll go back nor will I tell others. There are so many places so if I owned this place I would dump that dude at the host or if he is the manager even worse. read more

I try to avoid. Christmas shopping but my wife insisted that we shop today. I negotiated that lunch at Salsa Tex Mex was required. Salsa is such a great refuge on a windy, chilly day. Our server, Darcy, was friendly and did a great job. I had chicken sour cream enchiladas and my wife had beef fajitas. Our food quickly appeared and it was attacked. My wife isn't a guac girl so I had some creamy tasty guacamole with my meal. My enchiladas came with jalapeños and I requested extra. Both meals were sensational and service was top notch. We've been to Salsa Tex Mex before but I never reviewed it before today. Salsa has become our favorite Tex Mex restaurant in Allen with great food, price and service. Y'all check em read more

My absolute favorite place to get Tex Mex. I love their salsa and bean dip (try the green salsa, IT IS SO GOOD!). We ordered the Parrillada mix for two and the portion size is MASSIVE! We had leftovers for days. The steak was my FAVORITE!! Cooked to perfection. Our server was also so sweet and so kind. We felt so welcomed as SOON as we walked in. Thank you Salsa Tex Mex for the awesome experience! read more

Salsa Tex Mex - La Parrillada Mix for Two - Mexican Near Me - Allen, Texas

Several months ago, we decided to try Salsa. We had an unfriendly waitress who was close to being surly. Honestly, the food wasn't memorable and we're not fans of Tex-Mex anyways, but the chips and salsa were pretty good. Towards the end of the dinner, my daughter told the server that I spoke Spanish and her eyes lit up. We talked a little bit and she said to ask for her table next time. We came back a could have weeks later and sat in her station. She recognized us and was very welcoming. I ordered Chicken Mole because I love mole. I seriously don't know what was on my plate but it was more like a tamale with no filling, covered in some kind of sauce masquerading as mole. The other dinners in our party weren't much better. I should have asked about the tamale-mole thing I had but I just wanted to get out of there. I have the feeling people come for the drinks, chips, and fajitas. read more

Thank you for helping fix the issue very nice owners will be back, been going here for years. Salsa and white queso is very tasteful read more

Salsa Tex Mex - Mexican Near Me - Allen, Texas

Certain elements of this review may sound silly - buuuuutt - there is a method to my madness. Since moving to the North Dallas areas over 18 years ago, and meeting who would become my wife about 16 years ago- we have not been able to find an authentic Mexican restaurant that was anything close to the restaurants in many large and small locations within Mexico- truly South of the border. All of this Tex Mex is simply not the same - regardless who prepares and serves your meal. Many times when I explore a new "Mexican" restaurant in typically order one or both beef and chicken tacos , which are typically some of the least expensive items on the menu. I recently ordered one of each "to go" as I was on the run to have lunch at home with my wife. When the server gave me my to-go order, I was very surprised at the very large bag with what appeared to be excessive individual packaging- I double checked to ensure this was my order. When I arrived home my wife commented " what in the word did you get - is that for you or both of us?" Upon unpacking my order it became immediately clear what was going on. The two crispy shells were in their own container. The rice and beans were in THEIR own container - and the ground beef and chicken were in their own little round tubs. Cheese + lettuce and Tomato's were also in their smaller individual containers. Wasteful packaging ? NO ! ! ! This method of detail and preparation prevented the crispy shells from quickly turning soggy - along with every else ( including the separate chips & salsa ). My personal preference for a beef taco uses a foundation of seasoned ground beef - along with lettuce, tomato cheese and salsa ALL OF WHICH were executed PERFECTLY with my order. All of this to acknowledge the extraordinary steps that were taken that resulted in the near flawless execution of two simple beef tacos to go. I can only look forwarded to my next experience at Salsa Tex Mex in Allen, TX which will be VERY SOON read more

The food was delicious the steak was cooked to a perfect Medium, the mole tasted amazing as well, the mushroom with chicken was okay wish to have seen more protein in the dish but the taste made up for it. Service was friendly and welcoming from the host to our waitress we felt seen and valued, appreciated the attentiveness. The inside is very cute lots of variety. The have a bar area if you just want a quick bite or on a solo night, they also have tv available in one part and on the other side more for family/ friend dinners to really talk and catch up. They also offer outside seating! They do offer chips and 3 dips for the table right when you sit. Would recommend and come back when in the area! read more

Went Sunday night, barely busy...maybe 50% full. The entire staff was unorganized and all over the place. They really do what they want because there is no leadership. It seems like an older couple is managing, or trying to run this location but they don't have a grasp on the business. There is no flow to the service and no strategy. When our server was on the floor (he hid in the back), he was rude and barely paid attention. He did not listen to what we ordered and was a but pushy. He never brought us our iced tea. We ordered queso and mushrooms and opted to have the steak added for $2. He charged us for a full side for $11. Got the carnitas tacos but they were dry. I'm guessing they were a day or two old and reheated. The only thing that was decent the chips but the beans were cold. Hard pass on this location. We'll stick with the Prosper location. read more

Good food, quick service, reasonable prices!! Altogether a great place for basic Tex-Mex!

This was my first time, drinks, food, and atmosphere was great! Assistant manager Fatima was amazing! Bartender martin was AMAZING!!!The manger on duty was unfriendly, bad attitude and if I do not come back it would be on him. I wouldn't post 5 starts because of the manger! read more

People that follow my reviews know I can be BRUTAL! I look at a couple of things. Price, Portion Size, Cleanliness/Ambiance and finally taste. So here goes, This place is AWESOME! . 5 star in all of the categories. I got the Bryan Tacos- Three corn tortillas filled with Monterey jack cheese and grilled steak or chicken fajita. Served with rice, charro beans, tomatoes and sliced avocado. They were the best tacos hand down and the steak was marinated in a amazing way. So freaking good! Wife got Chicken Fajitas and the portion size was crazy large, chicken was very tender and near perfect! Lastly I recommend to get the Guacamole to have with the chips, it was perfect as well. Honestly not one thing negative to say, staff was great and food is better than any other Mexican restaurant in Allen. I have not tried to Enchiladas yet, so stay tuned. Ill give the down and dirty on those this week when we go back, since I see us as Regulars now. 5 Stars guys!!!! read more

Absolutely amazing experience! The food was delicious across the board--everything tasted fresh, flavorful, and cooked just right. The portions were generous too, definitely worth it for what you get. You won't leave hungry! Highly recommend if you're looking for great Tex-Mex with solid portions and great taste. read more

Service was great. We were seated right away. The restaurant was busy. Ceviche was a little too fishy for my taste. Steak fajitas made up for it because the steak was seasoned and cooked to perfection. I ordered a side of grilled veggies that were delightful. They gave a huge portion. I wasn't a big fan of the salsa that came with the chips, but still would definitely go back. Those steak fajitas made my day! read more

This restaurant has the best Tex Mex food in Allen. The salsa and chips that are served at the table are tasty. We ordered a cup of queso to go with the chips, and we enjoyed it. I had a delicious grilled chicken breast that came with a cheese enchilada. The enchilada was filled with a lot of cheese. The service was excellent. I will definitely return, and would recommend this restaurant. read more

The fajitas tasted burnt like the grill hasn't been cleaned in a while other than that the rest was fine our server did seem very preoccupied and unhappy. read more

I was there yesterday and everything tasted so good. Service was impeccable and their drinks are amazing. Their happy hour runs Sunday through Thursday. read more

Food was good, loved the fried onion instead of regular cooked rice ones , service was fine atmosphere was family style and very comfortable

HUGE SHOUTOUT to Diego for taking care of us! We came here on a weekday for happy hour and apps. I've been to 2 other Salsa Tex Mex locations (Plano & Prosper), and they never disappoint! I particularly liked this location as the layout was very modern and spacious! I ordered a swirl margarita, while my 2 friends ordered margaritas on the rocks. I love that the drinks always pack a punch. We got the platter & the queso fundido con chorizo, and everything tasted great! Diego continually checked up on us and recommended drinks! For dessert, we got the tres leches. It was amazing--very moist and flavorful. Thank you so much for a great visit! We'll be back! read more

We go to Salsa quite often but it has really gone down hill. Went to the Allen location today and had a bad experience. First we noticed the staff aren't very pleasant anymore. Then we had two long hairs in the pinto beans. Brought to the attention of the waiter. He obviously brought out a new plate but no apologies from the lady manager or a discount even offered. Sorry not going to work with all the competition in the area. We won't be going back. David R... read more

Excellent food Excellent service Great ambiance. It's always full Great prices Excellent Margaritas and Sangrias at affordable prices read more

While we live very close to this Salsa Tex Mex, it was welcomed with multiple visits to not have to go to Frisco or Plano anymore. It started off with very good food, drinks and wait services when they first opened. Now, however, it was taken a turn. It depends on who might be doing the cooking I guess. Some days the Taco Salad Shell Bowl is cooked perfect; other times it is so overcooked and burnt. Also, the Green & Red Salsas are some times good, some times bad. Lastly, the Woman at the Front Desk who is constantly walking and watching every action taken in the restaurant by both the customers and the employees is a bit of an annoyance. read more

My husband and I came here after only hearing amazing things, and the rumors are true. We both ordered drinks which were very strong and pretty cheap. For our meal we ordered the Salsa Fajitas which are served on a BED OF QUESO. If you order fajitas as a healthy choice, this is not the dish for you, but the fried onions and the queso that is served with the chicken and beef gives these fajitas a uniqueness that my husband and I both loved. The service wasn't exception but was very fast, so no complaints there. The one thing that was odd was that the patio was basically just an extra room. The exterior was brick and there was really no sign at all that it was more outdoor than the main area. We waited extra to sit out there, so we were a bit disappointed when we found out there was really no difference read more

Salsa Tex Mex - Mexican Near Me - Allen, Texas

This was our first visit to this location since it just opened, but we have been to other Salsa Tex Mex locations numerous times in the past, so we were generally expecting the same experience. Based on our visit, this location is no different than the other locations, albeit on the smaller side. There's more parking around the back, since space in front is limited. Salsa Tex Mex is pretty much your very typical Tex Mex restaurant in the area...in fact it is exactly what I picture when I picture a Tex-Mex restaurant. The food is consistent and you're not going to be blown away by anything, but nothing is particularly bad either. They don't make the chips, tortillas, or salsas in house. The prices are low and you're generally going to get the same food at any location. They do bring 3 dips to the table with the room temperature chips, a red salsa, a spicier green tomatillo salsa, and a black bean dip. Again, nothing is amazing but nothing is bad. Gloria's has a better bean dip, Lupe does a better salsa, but they are one of the few places doing the tomatillo salsa so I'll give them credit for that. Salsa Tex Mex has decent fajitas, again nothing incredible but text book lower end tex mex fajitas. The cheese is freshly shredded, but the guacamole lacks flavor, the pico definitely isn't fresh, the meat isn't the greatest cut and doesn't have much going on, and you're putting it on some microwaved tortillas from the bag. This is the sort of place that you can comfortably take your older family members to, as well as bring small children. This isn't the sort of place that you'd try to impress anyone with or recommend to a foodie, but it will satisfy hunger at a reasonable price. I will note that while the fajitas are just "meh" at best...they are a fraction of the price of Lupe or Hacienda fajitas (both of which are far superior) so you get what you pay for. Will we return? Probably, but it'll be a few months. Food: 3/5 Price: 5/5 Ambiance: 2/5 - For as new as the place was, it could have been cleaner. Service: 3/5 - You probably won't have a bad service experience, but you also probably won't bother asking for your servers name or remember it once you leave the door. read more

This is the best Mexican food I've had. This was my first time at this restaurant. The staff was very friendly and the food was prompt. We had a terrific lunch and I'll be back soon. It was quiet and we could hear and have a conversation. Love it! read more

This is a great place to eat! Their sauces are made fresh, daily. Their tomatillo/avocado sauce is our favorite, but all of their sauces are really yummy. Very clean. Very attentive wait staff. They actually fill your water glass, without your needing to ask. Talk about fresh--try their pico da gallo, it's wonderful. I could eat it by itself. I ordered the cheese chili relleno with verde sauce on top, which was delicious. My husband had the beef enchilada dinner, which was very good. Our kids had beef taco dinners and those tacos were stuffed! They loved them! I also had a frozen guava margarita and it was great! We will definitely be back--and soon!! read more

We've been coming here several times a month for quite some time. We used to come in for table dining, but the last few months we've had to come to the bar to order to-go food and have a drink while we wait. (I order for my Mom so she doesn't have to eat institution food the rest of her life.). The service here is superlative - and combined my husband and I have 40 years' experience in the business, and we know what to look for. The bar service team is on point, responsive, courteous, timely. The entire staff hits all the service points that matter. The food is excellent as well; we keep coming back for all these reasons! If you're hungry for Tex-Mex, this will be your place. Signed, 60-something Native Texans read more

What a treat! We were immediately greeted, seated and treated to chips, two salsas and black bean dip. All were really good, chips are paper thin and fresh. We ordered happy hour drinks - all day Sunday - Thursday, so perfect for our Sunday lunch. He had a michelada, which was good. I had the $5.50 house frozen margarita - delicious and what a great deal!! He ordered the Enchiladas Tehanas, and it was great. I ordered the Daniel, and again, it was great. The portions are very generous!! It all came out hot, fresh and tasty. Our service was fantastic to boot. Can't wait to go see them again. It's a great addition to Allen!!! read more

My husband and I have been here a handful of times. The service & food is always 10/10! Some of the best chips & salsa around.

Great food!! Patio has misters and fans so even though it was 96 degrees out it was very nice.

When my family and I are in the mood for Mexican food we normally go here. Good food and a respectable price. The chile relleno is one of my favorites from here. Service has always been great and has a nice atmosphere. read more

Walked in and it smelled great. Had a clean look and smell too. Food was great in portions, seasoning and taste. We would have given 5 star except when I personally went to the women's bathroom. That was a no. Not thoroughly deep cleaned. They definitely need to be on top of the bathrooms. Again, owner and managers need to do a though deep clean and then for it to kept on every 2 hours (See pictures). I can only imagine the men's bathroom. Anyways, I really liked the booths. Roomy for those who don't like to be cramped. If I drank the bar would be a nice area to visit with a friend or love. read more
