So I thought 730 in Plano would be quiet. Boy was I wrong. There was a wait outside the door, but fortunately it was only about 15 minutes. The main host guy/owner/manager was very friendly, but I have to say the woman who sat us was not. We started with the Queso Blanco which in Spanish must mean nom nom nom. It was soooo good. You have to order it. The chips and salsa were also very good. Bean dip was meh. I ordered the fajitachanga which I did not like. It was just too much cheese and not really my cup of tea. Dad has Tacos al Carbon which he liked, but was too full from eating chips and the White Queso. We had the Sopapillas with Ice Cream and Honey which were dusted with sugar and cinnamon. Mmm mmm mmm! We asked for some to go boxes and some salsa to go. They gave us one small container of salsa to go, but if we wanted another they would charge us for it. Kind of broke the spell on an otherwise pleasant dinner. I give it 3.5 but am rounding down due to the salsa incident. Bleh! read more

Salsa Tex Mex - Tex-Mex Near Me - Plano, Texas

Wonderful neighborhood restaurant. Food is great, reasonably priced, wonderful staff. I'm a regular!

Great place, great food, decent drinks. A weekend lunch favorite. They don't staff well for holidays, so beware. MLK day was awful service. The only bad experience I've had. read more

Man, I'd forgotten about this place. I've been here before and liked it. They've definitely fixed it up quite a bit since my last visit. Went back today, had Bryan's Tacos with chicken. They wound up being soft corn tortillas with grilled chicken, monterrey jack cheese, and grilled green onions, served with charro beans and rice. And it was just fantastic. The service was spot on, with the owner stopping by my table to make sure everything was up to expectations. The waiter was prompt with refills, which was nice as well. The black bean dip is a must have - it's served with the chips, very similar to what you would get at Gloria's. On my way out the owner was at the register; he introduced himself and asked how everything was. Very friendly guy, he obviously cares a lot about his business. This is the first restaurant to survive more than a year or so in this particular location as well, so he's doing something right. read more

Salsa Tex Mex - Bryan's Tacos - chicken, monterrey jack cheese, grilled green onions, served with charro beans and rice. - Tex-Mex Near Me - Plano, Texas

Good food, good place. I have tried a wide variety of their offerings. Never has a single thing been anything but excellent. While I favor their enchiladas, you cannot go wrong with fajitas, tacos or burritos. read more

My wife and I have been here twice in the past month. The first time was on a Sunday and we had the chance to also enjoy the All Day Happy Hour prices. Chicken Fajitas - the best chicken fajitas I've had in town so far! Bryan's Tacos with beef - soft corn tortillas with grilled beef, monterrey jack cheese, and grilled green onions, served with charro beans and rice. Nice flavor, but I prefer the Chicken Fajitas. Brisket Tacos - I'm not a huge brisket tacos fan, but these were quite good. I would prefer the Chicken Fajitas or Bryan's Tacos over the Brisket Tacos. The service was just right. We'll be back again soon. Note: Some Valu-Pak mailers will contain coupons for this place, so be on the lookout for them! read more

We called in for a takeout order on Saturday afternoon. Friendly service, large menu, value for the money and food warm and tasty. Recommend that you provide a little extra time beyond the estimated time quoted for pickup. Otherwise, you maybe standing and waiting for your takeout order. read more

I am not feeling an urge to revisit. The food was fine. They have homemade salsa and serve warm beans with the chips and salsa. I ordered beef nachos. They were fine. I expect fajita beef to make me go Mmmmmmm. But meh it was okay. The jalepeno margarita (I have had another place...wonderful) here was not wonderful. More like a stunning with each sip. It was not super spicy just a funky flavor. Never again. The rest of the family seemed to enjoy their food. My mom frequents and different location and gets the same shrimp dish everytime and again here. It must really good. The service is good. read more

Great food and service! Stopped in tonight, Monday - and were quoted a 15 minute wait. We were definitely seated in less than 10. It's a smaller restaurant and it was packed so we anticipated slow service. Chips, salsas, beans and drinks were at our table within 5 minutes of sitting down. Server saw we had decided quickly and was prompt to take our order. Despite having many tables he remembered what we were drinking and kept them filled. Food came out in good time as well and both the brisket enchiladas and beef carne flameada were great. Beans and rice had great flavor too. This made the list for our out of town guests for sure. read more

We love how consistently delicious the food is at Salsa in Plano. This family restaurant is in an easy to get to location within a shopping center, has plenty of parking, and is large and spacious. They have happy hour menus for food and drink. This place gets crowded quick due to its citywide popularity, so get there early Thursday through Saturday evenings. I recommend the pineapple mojito and something from the enchilada menu. Ask for the very special hot sauce. If you're lucky, they made it fresh when your there. They don't have it everyday. Enjoy!! read more

Basic comfort style Tex-Mex. Can't go wrong here. Go early as this place gets crowded fast on days near the weekend. Meltdown marg is great. Go get you one. read more

Favorite spot. All day happy hour Sun-Thurs great food and strong drinks. Staff is always friendly. We've used their catering for several large parties, including a Christmas party. Family owned and the family is awesome. read more

Salsa Tex Mex is one of our regular haunts now. We love the Black Been dip provided along with traditional Chips & Salsa when you sit down. The staff have always been attentive and friendly. Quite often the owner will visit and ensure quality. Food comes out quickly. Enchiladas, chalupas, tacos, soup, all have been very delicious! This is not my favorite place for fajitas, but the fajitas here are still good. Prices are very reasonable I've been visiting here since it's opening, and the place has maintained consistency in flavor and quality of food. The at last can now serve alcohol (took them a good while to get a license.) You know it is a good sign when there is almost always a wait for a table. We used to always be able to get a seat, but word has gotten out and at dinner time there seems to always be a 5 to 15 minutes wait, but it is worth it! read more

Girlfriend says "Mexican food"...before we went to the Stars/Bruins game. So I picked Salsa Tex Mex again. They did another good job. Had the Chicken and Spinach Quesadilla with a sweet tea. LOTS of chicken AND spinach. Somehow the spinach wasn't wilted...impressive. Tasty too. Place itself...may have cost them a star...just by the looks. Better cleanup of the tables/floor? Anyways, the service matched the food. I'll be back. read more

We are falling more in love with Salsa every time we go. Somehow it's become our go-to place in Plano (other than Senor Locos which is...HELLO, amazing), and it's within walking distance of our home. That's dangerous because everyone knows that calories don't count if you can walk them off on your way to and from a restaurant. What's awesome there? The queso blanco, the taco salad and the combo fajitas with shrimp. Even more awesome? The frozen tamarind margarita with the craziest spicy-salt rim. I can't describe it. Just order it. You'll thank me. Chips are quick to arrive to the table, along with a nice salsa and black bean dip. They keep those refilled (bonus) and are also great at refilling water. I sometimes think you have to wait a while for service here, but it's nothing as dreadful as Mex-i-Go, so it's not a big deal. And I could work on eating slower, anyway - particularly when the food is as tasty as it is at Salsa. read more

Awesome nachos and quesadillas for our quarantine lunch. They also have very tasty salsa and the "to go" Margaritas were excellent! Will definitely be ordering from here again! read more

Real nice little spot. Wife and I were looking for somewhere close to home to eat last night since we did not feel like cooking. Decided we would come to Salsa and give it a try and we were not disappointed. The staff is very friendly and very welcoming. The chips, salsa and bean dip were good, but the salsa isn't anything extraordinary. I really enjoy a good, fresh salsa and this one was ok. My wife ordered the brisket fajitas platter which she enjoyed while I got the Mar y Tierra which was delicious and the portions were a good size. For dessert, we got the sopapillas which you can never go wrong with. Overall we were very pleased with food and service and will be back. read more

I went here today for my birthday with my family. It was the first time any of us had been here. I had heard good things about it from friends and from people on the next door app. I decided my birthday was a good excuse to come give it a shot. Let me tell you. This food was incredible. This is my new favorite restaurant and the best tex-mex I've ever had. So delicious. The Waitress was very wonderful and even had great suggestions for one of us who could not decide what to get! Service was fast and everything was great. One of the better food experience I've had, honestly. This place was pretty packed for dinner and I can see why. Go eat here, people! read more

I went for lunch on a Thursday, but ordered Shrimp Nachos from the dinner menu. It came with a pile of jalepenos and guacamole... awesome! The shrimp and tomato part was like bruchetta and contrasted well with the crunch of the chip under, but they lost me on all the cheese. I guess I should have known... Tex-Mex! Haha. Lots of white cheese and a glob of sour cream in the middle. Oh well :) Overall, their food was good - I'd recommend it to my friends - but it's not my taste. The table salsa was mild, and while I appreciate that their black bean sauce is vegetarian, it lost some flavor. read more

Salsa Tex Mex - Shrimp nachos, lunch chicken chimichurri - Tex-Mex Near Me - Plano, Texas

I went on a Thursday and I was told the wait was 25 min we ended up waiting almost an hour. After we finally had a table we were given chips and salsa right away but the waiter took another 15 min to take our drink orders. Not only he took forever but He was rude. We asked for the queso which tasted like liquor and it was greasy. Good portions but I will never go back. read more

Amazing chiixken Fajitas, and a very heavy pour from the bartender on our top shelf margaritas

This is the best Tex Mex around! This is my go to restaurant always! The fajitas, enchiladas, and quesadillas are all incredible! Would recommend to anyone! read more

I want to take a moment and commend the take out staff working here tonight! They were obviously getting more Togo orders than any average night, and they were doing an amazing job! Wait times might have been a little longer than quoted, but they were keeping an amazingly positive attitude and more than doing their best!! I am a restaurant manager and I would be proud to have any of the staff I dealt with tonight work for me! Thank you for a great dinner and showing the best of what restaurant people are! I'll also add the guests waiting on their meals were all seemingly being fairly patient and formed a kinda fun bond with each other! Thanks again for all the Salsa's staff that braved the weather to get out to work and provide great meals for too many of us hungry gueats!! read more

Decent Tex-Mex in Plano! This is a family restaurant in a strip mall with a casual atmosphere and a huge menu. This place has been expanded and takes up two storefronts in a little shopping center. On our first visit, it was pretty much packed, most tables sat and they'd made the most of their space, so that translates into a lot of customers. Service was fine, despite the crowd, they are clearly used to doing a lot of business in the evenings. Chips and salsa leave much to be desired. The salsa reminded me of El Fenix. Tomato heavy, no spice, and tastes like it comes from a jar. For reader reference, I prefer Chuy's style...fresh and spicy. Salsa needs onions, cilantro, and jalapeno. I don't want to eat chips and marinara sauce. The chips themselves aren't hot or freshly made. They're just ok. They do bring out a warm bean dip, which I see that other reviewers like. I'm not a fan of beans so I can't comment on the flavor, but perhaps you can overlook the lackluster salsa and store bought chips if you're into bean dip. On our second visit, we did get a cup of queso (blanco) and it was hot and tasty. A little bit runny but still good. Again, for reference...I think Torchy's has the best queso in town, so this was a 3 out of 5 star queso. The kid was happy with his kids meal, we enjoyed the appetizer sampler, and my husband likes his enchiladas. He compares them to El Fenix enchiladas so that makes him happy. We got the sopapillas for dessert. They were better on our first visit...they burned them on our second visit. We didn't complain but really they should have taken one look at them and made another batch, they were so dark. Overall, there aren't a lot of great tex mex options in this particular area of Frisco/Plano, so when we don't want to drive to El Fenix or Chuy's, this is an option. We will probably be back..but not that often. I'd say this is in the vicinity of Ernesto's or Cafe Del Rio, slightly better than Mesa's, better than OTB or Manny's. The problem is that none of the ones I've just mentioned...none of them stand out as being particularly good or bad. They're all just family friendly cheap local tex mex...nothing to write home about. Food: 3/5 Ambiance: 3/5 Service: 3/5 Value: 5/5 read more

This place is cute. I've been here a few times. The chips with their salsa and black bean dip are really good. The sour cream enchiladas with ground beef is so good. The Chile Relleno is very good. The beef enchiladas with the chile sauce on top was really good. Their margaritas are good and a little stiff. Service here is a hit or miss nut we've enjoyed this location each time. Definitely will be back here soon. read more

Our local, go-to Mexican restaurant. 3 stars you say? Well it's average - and that's ok. Good food, good price, a little noisy when it's busy, as well as parking issues due to neighbors. Not every restaurant in Plano is 4 stars - no matter what, and that's ok too. read more

I have never had TEX MEX before and I'm so glad this was my first experience with it. The black bean salsa was amazing. I had the chicken Al pastor tacos and they were juicy and delicious. read more

Excellent value and wonderful food. But be prepared to wait, it gets busy. Good service.

Delicious food, fast service, and family friendly! Portions are very generous, so we always plan to share or have leftovers.

Really good food but bit pricy in my opinion. We'll be going back! I had takeout and my food came out shortly and service was good

Very good food and great server staff! Only ate there once so far, but definitely looking forward to visiting again.

I'm not sure why there are people that rate this lower, but it's probably why there are a ton of Tex-Mex places around that are all much more MEH than Salsa. They have all the staples and they're all great. And, lots of specials - which are even better. Brisket Enchiladas or the Brisket Chile Relleno? Ridiculously good. Pollo de la Casa? Also delicious. However, they recently added mole to the menu. As a connoisseur of mole, I had some reservations - but, I was delighted to be wrong. If you like mole, their mole is legit. More like a coloradito versus red or black, but no less tasty. I do wish the Pollo en Mole was over a grilled quarter versus the breast only, but it is still great. The Chicken Enchiladas en Mole are also wonderful. Bean dip is something you'll want to bathe in. And, I would also make a hot tub out of their charro beans. Great Happy Hour, too - awesome margaritas and beer so cold that it hurts. read more

My family and I recently ate dinner here. It was packed but luckily the wait wasn't bad at all. They give you chips, salsa and bean dip! We loved both, especially the bean dip. The enchiladas were delicious! My son ordered the carne asada and he really liked it. We will be back! read more

I went there last night on a recommendation from a friend. It was busy so they must do something right, not at my table. Margarita on the rocks couldn't even taste the tequila. Ordered beef fajitas with corn tortillas. Food arrived sizzling but no tortillas. I asked server about tortillas and he said their coming. Sizzle gone by the time the flour tortillas arrived. Waitress would just disappear for long periods. Food was ok at best but the bean dip and salsa were good. Overall, I won't be back as there is to much good tex mex in the area. read more

Great Drinks and Food. The Quail was very flavorful. Thanks for exceptional service Isaias

Amazing Mexican food reasonably priced. My family have been going to this restaurant weekly for years.

Just to be clear...the food here is wonderful. Just around the street from us. Fair warning...the service is TERRIBLE unless you have a big top or have tipped well before. I have worked in restaurant and food service and I am appalled by the casual way I was shrugged off after obviously being completely forgotten about. Unfortunately, this is not the first time. FYI, one is far better ordering and picking up. Service sucks! Josh may want to consider another line of work. read more

I have always seen this restaurant driving by but never tried it until the other day. The service was good, and the food was good. They start you off with chips and salsa as well as black bean dip. The salsa had a tiny kick to it, but I love anything spicy. The black bean dip was really good. We started off with the white queso, and it was fantastic. I ordered the skinny margarita, and it was a pretty strong drink but worth the $$$$. I ordered the ground beef taco and chicken enchilada plate. I was already full but tried the taco and enchilada. This restaurant did not disappoint, so I will definitely come back. They do have really good happy hour specials. read more
