Salsa Verde Mexican Cuisine in Concord has been in business for 15 years and I am just now trying it out. I have been missing out all these years, and now happy I have a wonderful GoTo for true, authentic Mexican Food. The prices are reasonable, and the owner and staff were helpful, friendly, and pleasant to talk to. This is my first time trying Molcajete, and WOW- I plan on having it again. Comes with rice, beans, and freshly made tortillas. Portion size serves 2. The Salsa Verde Enchiladas were very good with a healthy dose of tangy essence. And of course, Chips, Salsa, and guacamole are always a must! read more

Whole experience was dry! The service was dry just like the chicken. I won't get into details but yeah you go at your own risk. Not enough room to type. But if you go be nicer than the owner. He got a two cause they cooked the food. read more

**Wonderful Mexican Food at Salsa Verde!** I just enjoyed another wonderful meal from Salsa Verde! I had to get my order to go today, but they still sent me off with their complimentary chips and salsa--a little extra touch that always makes me smile. I've tried many different items on their menu, and everything has been delicious! My personal favorites are the shrimp tacos and the chicken taco salad. And their red sauce? Absolutely heavenly! The food is consistently fresh, flavorful, and delicious, and Salsa Verde has become one of my favorite places for Mexican food in the area. They're only open Monday through Friday, but they are absolutely worth making time for! **If you're looking for delicious Mexican food, do yourself a favor and give Salsa Verde a try. You won't be disappointed!** read more

I uses to come during my pregnancies just to eat the food and the guacamole, once the babies were old enough to eat it they LOVED it. We come every chance we get because the service and food are always a great experience. read more

After reading an intriguing article about this establishment online and how Concord locals rave about this place, I decided to stop by on a Tuesday and check it out . About a mile away from the Concord COSTCO next to Detroit avenue. The building first of all looks an office building small and a small one story house decided to merge and become one. On to the interior, lots of stuff going on. Sports memorabilia books like a coffee shop . Looks like a lot of locals frequent this place and lots of to do orders as lots of work businesses nearby. There is curb street parking . I asked the cashier if any taco Tuesday deals he said NO. Then I asked for a recommendation he said enchiladas and I said I went with the beef ones because honestly I never order enchiladas . The taste of Salsa verde reminds me of a potluck or going over to your friend place and his mom made Mexican food or dinner . But I like this place a lot, not loud quiet peaceful affordable place to have some Mexican food in the heart of concord. Beer and wine only. Nice service you seat yourself and they bring the food out to you fairly quick. 5/5 read more

One of the best chile rellenos I've ever eaten! I like the cheese melted--and it was! Tasty beans and rice as well. Nice-looking outdoor patio; sports on indoor TV. read more

So glad now open til 7 pm. We had: 1) heuvos ranchers but with salsa verde 5+/5. The green sauce is so good here; 2) molcajete with home made tortillas 5/5 so much food and so good. read more

The fish tacos arrived smelling like they'd taken the scenic route from the ocean. I mentioned it to the owner, but he tried to convince me that the frozen fillet was perfectly fresh. Sorry, bud--I know something smells fishy when it's sitting right in front of me. We won't be swimming back to Salsa Verde. read more

Loved this "family" type place. We both ordered chili relleno. Best we've had in a very long time! It was soo good we ordered it for takeout too. The owner was so nice and accommodating. Very clean and comfortable place! Defy will go back if I'm in the area!! read more

Humberto delivers high quality authentic Mexican cuisine. Drawing on decades of being the catering manager at St Marys College he became famous for his gourmet meals for elite events. He brings that same expertise to the food of his youth. Don't miss the opportunity to taste his food! read more

I'll double down and say this is still a hidden gem of a Mexican joint. Came here this time for a cheap breakfast burrito. It's perfectly sized, with patatas and huevos and some sausage and jalapenos. Great taste, add some salsa and boom! Best of all $7.50! Holy crap. I'm coming back. read more

The food is really terrific - authentic. Fresh ingredients. The staff is cordial and professional.

Glad that they are open until 7 now - I love their shrimp tacos - plump and juicy generous portions of shrimp. The pricing is very reasonable. Friendly service, nice patio seating. read more

I used to go to a couple of my long term favorites but for some reason the carnitas at both have changed. I've been in search of a place with great carnitas and Al Pastor again. I tried Salsa Verde based upon the rating on Yelp. I love crispy tacos and I noticed Salsa Verde sold both soft and crunchy tacos. I ordered one carnitas, one pollo and one Al Pastor crunchy taco. My friend ordered one Al pastor, one carnitas and one lengua crunchy taco. The tacos come with pico de gallo, sour cream and cheese. The overall taco was a bit drier than what I expected. I plan to try soft tacos next time. Overall, I would give the tacos 3.5 stars and the service 5 stars. The staff was very nice and attentive. We ate outside and they brought us chips and salsa. When our food was ready, they brought our order to us. They have a nice outdoor eating area. I plan to go again and in addition to the tacos I want to try the tamales and some chorizo con huevos. read more

Food was cold and dry , felt like made few days ago and wormed up , when I was explaining it he argue with me and telling me how many years he cook and I have no clue! Not the way to handle Well I will never ever go back there and there is so many better places less then 5 min away read more

Love their Salsa Verdi Burrito... changed up today and ordered the Steak Nachos. Lots of steak, very tender. And all the toppings!!!

Decent. Ordered via Doordash, and the food arrived almost lukewarm. (That's on Doordash, and not the restaurant?). The pork tamal was huge, and crammed full of very well-prepared shredded pork. The chile relleno was a bit tough, pretty flat, and lacking the sauce that was supposed to come on top. But NOT one bit greasy! Which, for me, is a big bonus. The grilled chicken street taco was meh: very small, and the chicken was a bit tough, but well-flavored. I happen to love cilantro, which there was plenty of, and very fresh. People who have the "cilantro tastes like soap" gene should ask for it to be left off. The salsa that came with the chips (which I didn't eat many of) was pretty bland. I appreciated that the food wasn't as salty as other restaurants' I've tried. It's pretty expensive, for what you get. Would I order from here again? Maybe. But will probably try other dishes. read more

The best Mexican food around hands-down! Humberto (owner) its always very personable and cordial. I make it a point to go here very often even if it is out of my way! Extremely good food at very good prices. I typically come on my lunch break and I am in and out within a few minutes. I would recommend this restaurant to anyone and everyone! read more

Little restaurant on the corner of Detroit Ave. Food is really good and staff is so friendly. The prices are very reasonable. My go to order are the Mexican city style asada tacos with side of rice. they always give free chips and salsa. read more

A very cute place. The man at the counter is awesome! Always engaging and very accommodating. The food is reasonably tasty but the meat is never hot, which means your meal is cool to cold. Which is disappointing because this place could be quite the hidden gem in Concord. Overall my family consistently rates the food at Salsa Verde as 3.0 on a scale of 1-5. read more

Service is horrible I clearly called in a burrito order and when I corrected them for doing it incorrectly and just wanted it fixed the employee rudely said I was bitching those exact words!!!! So disrespectful to a PAYING CUSTOMER!!!! mind you there prices are not cheap at all read more

I've been driving past this restaurant for years and finally decided to give it a try. It was time and money well spent and wish I hadn't waited so long. We were greeted by Humberto, the owner. What a kind and generous man. Our order was "to go" and prepared quickly. We ordered the carne asada taco plate (served as street tacos) and very tasty, the flautas plate (chicken) was very good, and the chili rellenos plate that was incredible. Some of the best Mexican food in Concord. read more

Locally owned, good value, consistently enjoyable food, generous portions, and pleasant professional service. I'm fond of their location, whether seated inside, or seated in the patio next to the white picket fence under the trees' majestic canopy enjoying the activities of life. Humberto has contributed to the community throughout the years; he and his team always make you feel welcome. They have truly earned our trust and support and I hope you might give them a chance too. read more

Really adorable restaurant. We were in the neighborhood to pick up wine bottles. Excellent lunch spot! Authentic Mexican food. Great service. read more

I love the ambiance of this restaurant. The owner is funny and asks me "are you sure you want this? It's very spicy!" I caved and asked for half the spiciness. Well the dish is spicy and delicious so what can I say? I love the food. read more

Ordered for lunch, got tacos and the carnitas was very dry as well as the grilled chicken I had in one of my tacos it wasn't good at all. Chips I also got with salsa was stale. Would not go back. read more

We've been going to this place for many years we really like their food. The owner can be nice at times but sometimes he seems a little moody. Just wish they were open weekends again so that we can go there more often too busy during the week for us. read more

Once in awhile, i get these cravings, not for the burrito, but for the sauce in the 'Wet Burrito' on their menu. So when i request 'extra sauce', and I'm not only not made fun of, but rather i get what I asked for, that is a good reason for a 5 star Yelp review! read more

What do I love? Delicious Mexican food! And, Salsa Verde Mexican DELIVERS, mmkay? Hella bomb ass Mexican food all the way in the cuts of Concord. Yes, I said in the cuts because it's hidden on some random industrial style road, but apparently, that ain't stopping nobody else from coming here. And since it's randomly located, there's enough street parking to keep everyone happy. Came here one day craving for some authentic Mexican eats, and that's exactly what I got! I must first mention how stinkin' CUTE this place looks! When you first pull up, you might think that you've arrived at someone's residence until you see their sign on the building! The exterior looks like a cute old house! The interior reminds me of a grandma's dining room, but not in a bad way. The table cloths are so damn adorable and the entire place has such a homey feel to it. When you walk in, you'll order at the counter and they'll bring your food out to your table. I was in a seafood mood (but then again, when am I NOT in a seafood mood?) and decided to order their camarones al mojo de ajo aka garlic shrimp entree. DAMN was that sucker good! They blessed me with a generous portion of juicily plump and flavorful shrimp alongside the most authentic tasting rice and homemade refried beans! It. Was. Heaven. HEAVEN! Portions were so large that ended up taking a doggie bag with me to go. Their homemade flour tortillas were the perfect additive to this already perfect dish! And, let's not forget to mention that horchata and those super tasty complimentary chips and salsa! YAAASSS! YAS to it ALL! The horchata was delicious and their chips and salsa were even more amazing at that. Fresh made chips and really yummy salsa with a nice kick. The only nitpick would be to lessen the amount of salt on those chips because with that kind of salsa, it really didn't need it. Service was excellent! It's a family owned business and everyone that I encountered was extremely friendly and seems excited to be there. They also have a TV in their lobby and they were playing the Warriors game while I was there. Extra cool points awarded for that! Bottom line is, you need to stop here if you're having a craving for some delicious Mexican cuisine! Salsa Verde Mexican will be sure to not disappoint! read more

Very tasty! I came here while looking for "Mazeh Kitchen," which is now closed. Salsa Verde, on the other hand, was a fantastic find! The food is fresh and has a handmade flavor. The staff was quite pleasant and helpful. Normally, chips are oily, but these were wonderful. Pico was delicious, as were the beans and rice. Taquitos and quesadillas were on my menu. Both were delicious and satisfied my hunger. I'll get their Mexico City Style Tacos next time, as well as some tamales for later. read more

Big thunbs up here. Very clean and neat, mom and pop establishment. Some seating outside and nicely decorated indoor seating. A very wide variety of items to order, including Mexican soft drinks and beers as the refreshments. And horchata and Jamaica, of course. I've had a few of their items, but the unique one that is really worth a try is the molcajete. Which is a traditional molcajete made from lava rock, filled to the brim with chicken, pork, beef, onions, peppers, and a delicious tomato salsa. It is a lot of food. They suggested is for two but from where I'm sitting I would call it suitable for four. And it comes with lots of refried beans, rice, and half a dozen delicious homemade corn tortillas. Tonight's dinner? Leftovers from our molcajete lunch! read more

I walked in the door and received blank emotionless stares from the older guy working there. I kindly said hello and informed him I came to pick up an order I made through Door Dash and he mentioned it's been ready a while ago (my food was sitting there for nearly 40 minutes). I showed him that I selected for it to be picked up at the time I had arrived and instead of helping fix the situation he literally said "Deal with Door Dash". Now for the food: Obviously it was cold. Enchilada sauce tasted like it was artificial and not homemade. The beef was stiff and not good. They barely put any beans. The rice was basic. The only good thing about this meal was the salsa. I don't enjoy bashing small owned businesses but I did not enjoy my experience here at all. read more

About 7 months ago I made the mistake of trying the kitchen's offerings at Salsa Verde and found the food to be quite awful, about the bottom-of-the-barrel for the local area, and then wrote a detailed review of why I developed that opinion. Given the hype that the owner puts out about the supreme quality of his food I was really surprised as to just how seriously each item had failed in the flavor department. Then today, I received the owner's response in a Yelp email that is as follows: "How dare you insult my customers and restaurant, you are a special kind of moron. Humberto (925)695-5114." Unfortunately, Humberto talks big, but functions small, and now it appears that he has added rudeness to the failings of Salsa Verde, rather than trying to hire someone who will cook good Mexican food ( though probably not possible with Humberto directing the kitchen). read more
