    The dudes cocktails on 12/01/24
    Angie R.

    The dude and I came to Salsas as a few colleagues recommended it. We heard so many great things about how the food and drinks and had to try it. To start, I really enjoyed the chips and salsa, which is refreshing as they were complementary as nowadays some places charge for chips and salsa. Not here! The salsa is rich in flavor along with the addictive chips! Pairs well. We came about an hour before closing so was pretty empty qnd a large party just finished as we were being seated . I ended up getting the chile relleno plate. The Dude got the fajitas. I was able to try some of the vegetables of the fajitas which was packed full of flavor and crunch as sometimes overcooked vegetables can be very mushy. My plate can't go wrong at all. Loved the flavors and large portion sizes! Even the small salad was tasty. I ended up getting a blended cocktail. They are huge and it was a struggle for me to finish it. And that's a good thing as they are not skimping you out on the portion here. The staff was very friendly and enjoyable. Overall, we had a lovely time here. The food was tasty. Delicious I highly recommend definitely will be back.

    First off, the wait staff is delightful at a mid-week lunch. Gracious service. Immediate greeting. Care and attention to requests. I was delighted to learn they make their own tortillas. I ordered what they call "taco salad" with carnitas. It was served in a large fried tortilla, reminding me of a chalupa served for decades at El Toro Tambien which we have not been able to find since ET closed up shop. The carnitas surprised me...large chunks of pork, but cooked well. The room is large, and if it got crowded, might be noisy what with hard surfaces and high ceilings, but for a mid-week lunch, the ambiance was just fine for conversation.

    Great time here! The service was quick and the food was great. The carnitas with the homemade tortillas was the best! The fish tacos were also great and strong margaritas! Love the rice and beans

    Had a great experience at Salsa's Cantina. We were seated promptly, and the drinks came out quickly. I ordered the posole, and my friend had the chile verde burrito. The food was very good, especially the handmade tortillas. Everything had great flavor, and we also really enjoyed the chips and salsa. Overall, a very enjoyable meal and great service.

    My favorite place to get a hot bowl of Albondigas! The vegetables were tender and flavorful. There were five meatballs, three corn tortillas, and the right amount of rice nd cabbage to fill it in. The chips are crunchy and fresh. The taco salad, which my honey ate, was filling and delicious. Our service was friendly and quick. The restaurant was nicely decorated with twinkling lights and a football game showing. A few couples, families and singles were enjoying a quiet meal in Old Town Clovis on a weekday evening.

    Rellenos de Res

    Clovis-I was really missing Mex food, living in Florida, so we went to a local favorite in town. They did not disappoint!! Although the Cadillac margaritas were on the watered down weaker side, the specialty Chile Rellenos were SPECTACULAR!! We each tried a different style of the good ol Chile Rellenos! Rellenos De Queso with added beef. Rellenos De Mar and Rellenos De Res. All three were so packed full of delicious that we were raving for the rest of the night! The grilled shrimp were good perfectly with a bit of char on them. There were raisins and pecans on top of the Rellenos Res, they were chef's kiss! Portions are large with amazing beans and rice. Service was good but not overly attentive. Definitely will return when I'm back in California!

    I'd come back just for the homemade tortillas and empanadas. I ordered the chile rellano plate. This pepper was stuffed with cheese, ground beef, and came with a side of tortillas. I thought this was weird, but once I tried these flour tortillas I was blown away. These were so good, that when I shared a bite with my wife, she immediately ordered two more... and then order another two for the road. They make all of their tortillas and empanadas dough in house! My sure Chile relleno was amazing and even though I was trying to get full, I ate the entire plate, which was massive! My wife loved her empanadas and my son especially loved his pozole. You can tell a Mexican restaurant is legit, by two different ways: 1) Their tortillas. Which I already said were amazing. 2) They're salsas and chile aka hot sauce. Salsa's hot sauce and salsa were both incredible. I couldn't stop eating the salsa that came with their chips and I asked for an extra side of their verde hot sauce. All of it was fantastic! We really loved the service and the friendliness of the staff and we especially loved the super chill vibe on a Sunday afternoon!

    Chile Verde

    This is a good spot for Mexican food in the Clovis area. Located in the main town area, it has ample street parking and dining tables. We went with a large group and had no issues accommodating us (11 people). The food was yummy and my favorite thing was the tortillas!!! They are house made and sooo delicious. Fajitas and chile verde plates were the favorite! Tasty and flavorful salasa as well!

    3 item combo

    Out of the seven or so items we tried, the albondigas soup (though small for the price) was great and the carne asada quesadilla was good, as was the salsa. The enchilada sauce was oddly thick and the cheese inside was not melted. The chile verde was comically salty. The ground beef was tasteless, as was the rice. The refried beans were grainy. The shredded beef taco was ok, but in a pool of water. The service was great, but the meal ended with a check that had additional charges for cheese in the bean and cheese burrito and a credit card fee. Don't think we'll visit again.

    Flour Tortillas
    Lai W.

    We came here for lunch. It's a family owned restaurant. Its decor was chic in black and gold w/exposed brick walls and metal cutout art. The women's restroom was nice and clean. Anyhow, we were greeted and seated right away by a friendly staff member. I had the Carnitas w/flour tortillas, hubby had the Relleno de Mar also w/flour tortillas, and daughter had the ground beef enchiladas. Hubby and I were surprised by the white Spanish rice! I was a little concerned, but my fear was unfounded as it was very flavorful! The refried beans were delicious, too! My carnitas were tender and also very flavorful. I've never seen shrimp-topped Chili Rellenos before, but the shrimp were perfectly cooked. They were surprisingly spicy! Hubby ate all of his food! We all enjoyed our lunch.

This is just a beer bar, so beers and seltzers only. I went with the Crow and Wolf Ocean Blast seltzer; a blue coconut, mango, pineapple, and lime beverage. Insanely good and refreshing on a hot afternoon. My wife went a peach seltzer that was just as tasty. We sat in the backyard area, that offers plenty of seating, a few TVs, and a ordering window so you don't need to head to the inside bar to order more drinks. The out area has smoking and non-smoking sections and is dog friendly, but they must be leashed. For food, we went the tri-tip BBQ pizza and a soft pretzel. The pizza was delicious and the perfect size for two people. Huge chunks of tri-tip, spicy BBQ sauce, and very cheesy. I asked for jalapenos on the side for an extra kick of heat.

I got a dark horse drink which was pretty good. They had small bathrooms but I liked how they decorated St Patrick's theme. They also sold food and snacks. There was a cute cat in the cafe too. The music was cool and even saw a couple people dancing. It's a nice spot to bring your friends or go on a date night.

I like how the location is tucked away and not on the main strip of Herndon, I like the amount of outdoor seating, the misters on the north side which helped a lot because there's plenty of shade on the East but the sun will beat on you around the other side. Only downside was there were no outside TV's, they did bring one from inside but with the sun it was hard to have an angle that allowed everybody to watch. The beers were great, I wish I could recall what I had but the only one I recall was taboo 50/50. EXCELLENT. The staff was friendly, helpful, and inviting. The place was packed, most there for the USMNT's World Cup opener and I feel like they handled the crowd well. Only reason I don't give this place a more favorable review is the food options and the restroom situation, the mobile lavatories and the food trucks were a real bummer, this is a big location and it feels like they could've fit a kitchen in there somewhere. I'm a bit of a prude though I don't care for food trucks but theres nothing else being offered no chips, no nuts, no small eats. I did see a party inside with little Caesar's and stuff but idk if that's allowed for everybody or just a group party offering. But the mobile restrooms were nasty, humid, dirty, and just felt like a bad option for the area, the steps and the people stumbling out of them idk. Aside from those two things it was a cool spot.

We headed in at an odd time yesterday around 230pm. It was late for lunch and too early for dinner. Nevertheless, we were seated in the front dining area, and ordered some entrees. The menu offers a lot of familiar favorites that you would expect to see at a a bar/ restaurant. Burgers, sandwiches, salads, and a few specialty plates. For my meal, I ordered The Local burger (no pickles of course) which was absolutely fantastic. Piled high with cheese, bacon, lettuce and tomatoes - this burger was executed to perfection. I ordered it medium, and it came out medium (imagine that). The best part was the sunny side egg that was placed on top. That first bite was heavenly. The yolk breaks, and all the goodness adds a little extra flavor to the already delicious burger. The shoe string fries were seasoned perfectly- I highly recommend this entree. The only thing I would add next time is an element of spice to take things up to another level. My wife ordered the BLTA sandwich , with sweet potato fries. I didn't try a bite because I had enough bacon on my burger , but I did sneak a sweet potato fry , and it was fantastic. My son order the chimichurri steak , he seemed to enjoy it although it may have had too much sauce on it for his liking. Perhaps it would been better if he ordered the sauce on the side. My picky daughter ordered the pesto chicken sandwich ,and she said it was pretty good. My family and I were full , but weren't going to let the dessert options pass us by. My family has a sweet tooth. We all shared the chocolate cake and bread pudding . Both are nice options if you need something sweet to top off your meal. The food and vibe of this place deserves 5 stars. I will deduct one star for the mediocre service and inconsistent food prep. Our meals were coming out one by one which made it awkward when trying to eat together. Our server didn't offer refills on our drinks , and didn't bring us utensils -until we asked for them. I will be back to try more menu items , and enjoy a cold beer while watching the game.

Our server, Jen, was also acting as host and bartender, and she handled it all impressively as the restaurant started to fill up. Even while understaffed, she kept everything running smoothly until additional staff arrived. Overall, it was a great experience
