    Charged for lemon.   At least it was a whole one, clicked twice.   Asked for it as a seasoning to my food order.
    Another L.

    So, minor peeve, nothing to "burn the house down for", but I will do my part to make restaurant service better. As a customer feedback point, maybe, it would be better to just raise the price of menu items instead of breaking with typical services at most food establishments in the area by charging for a lemon. Per the explanation from the one of waiters when asked, lemon prices went up. Hmmm. Imagine Longhorn charging for lemons, or Outback charging for bread. Reading prior reviews here, Salsas even started charging for the chips on the table? Thank God I didn't get that. I take it Lusby is a more well-to-do section of Maryland? So I don't think there is a matter of cost for a consumer in Lusby to be charged like this when eating at a food establishment like Salsas in Lusby. However it may be more of a failed expectation, a misalignment to such consumers. I would say to them it says something about the establishment, something desperate, maybe even a cry for help. My first time there. Was just testing it out. I would suggest, unsolicited, to the owners, instead of charging for lemons and chips (slippery slope says next is water and ice), just raise the price of menu items overall. If the quality of the service is high, and cooks are doing their best to keep the food looking at tasting good, the Lusby demographic I don't think is going to hate. For those that may ask about the meal, how was it? Well it was steamed veggies and shrimp. None of the establishments added seasoning. Nothing Mexican about it. As expected. It was normal. You can't mess that up, right? I was hungry. Starbucks was having a card reader issue. I gave Salsas a shot.

    May 2021 update. Although life is still not back to normal we're nearing the end of the pandemic. All the covid rules are still being followed here at salsas. This is still a great place with fast service and tasty food. All of the servers are motivated, friendly and professional. The food orders are never wrong and I'm always happy with whatever I order here. You can dine inside or out.

    Nachos delicious
    Rita J.

    Decided to give this establishment a try given the mixed reviews. Service was good and the people friendly; equally important the environment was clean. They served nachos and salsa immediately, which I enjoyed. The nachos were fresh & crispy without being oily. The salasa is more on the thin side but has decent flavor, not spicy but nicely balanced. I had a traditional margarita ($6.50) with salt and it was good...you could taste the alcohol. The Carne Asada dinner was large but the complete meal lacked flavor. The refried beans were the most bland I've ever had and even with salt & pepper added I was unable to eat it. The entree is inexpensive ($12.50)?so I wasn't surprised by the poor quality of beef served. The beef wasn't fatty as described in another review but didn't have a lot of flavor and was pretty tough/stringy. When cut and placed with the fresh avacodo and salas, it wasn't bad. They should consider pricing up and serving a better cut of beef. Regardless, they still need to season their food. I'll give this place another shot based on the chips and margarita. Not sure which entree I'll try but will keep you posted when I return.

    Carnitas. A decent helping of pork as well.

    That's a shame that salsas only has 3 stars. I would give it 5. I have been here lots of times and tried many things here. I have never really been disappointed. The employees here have been here a while, this place seems to have a low turnover. The employees are friendly and always remember you. I have never had any bad food here. I'm always sure to get the chiles toreadas, it's not on the menu but it's fried jalapenos and fried adobo peppers with some seasoning. Delicious addition if you like spicy things. Honestly not a big fan of the cheese they use on the chili relleno and the cheese sauces found on various things. It's like a white American cheese, I generally avoid it. That being said, everything here is good and I visit almost once a week. The carnitas are worth trying, and the fajitas are what you would expect. I kind of wish Mexican places in Maryland would offer more authentic foods rather than the Wisconsin Tex mex version. For southern Maryland this is to be expected. For the taco truck SOCAL experience there's some other places around where you can get your fix. That being said, this place is good and I don't see why people dislike it so much.

    Stumbled here leaving a meeting in this area…read more Not too familiar with this side of town and I had a taste for something yummy! Yelp to the rescue... Shrimp Quesadillas have been my jam lately...so passing this place reading "Mexico" I thought to myself- I would LOVE to actually be in Mexico right now. Why not! Walked in and it wasn't too busy. They offered lunch specials as well as their dinner menu at the time of my visit. Unfortunately I was on the clock so no margaritas for me...lol ginger al instead...was served with a lot of ice, so it was a bit watered down...however my food was actually pretty good. I placed my order and then stated reading Yelp reviews! I was a bit nervous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! If i had read some of these before coming I probably would've skipped this place! I had already placed my order so nervously sitting, I said a prayer and out came the most delicious shrimp quesadillas. It was huge and full of the fattest most juiciest shrimp I've ever had...I subbed Spanish rice in place of the white rice it came with and also added a side of refried beans and jalapeños which came in the most cutest tortilla shell. The only thing that was missing for me was an order of plantains...how did they not have these on their menu?!!! My quesadilla was delicious! 10/10 & I literally could only eat a fourth of my quesadilla. The restaurant itself was a bit out dated...the playlist needed some help... I just threw my EarPods in and watched something on Netflix while enjoying my meal. If I'm ever back on this side, I'd probably try to find some where else to try, but I would come here again for the quesadillas! Happy Yelping!

I would say you have to know it's there or you will just drive by. It's right there on the highway. Just a note that the restrooms were clean. Out in Hedgeville? Like Mexican food? Stop by The Mexican Restaurant. Oh, and it's just a few minutes from Nick's.

    Met up with a couple of friends to eat out some Mexican food on a Friday night. The place was…read morePACKED but fortunately they grabbed a seat before we got there. Started off with a margarita on the rocks that definitely hit the spot. I'm a bit of a Texas margarita snob and this one held it's own. Definitely a family spot or a local owned spot as the owner/manager was extremely friendly and checked in on us a couple of times. Really not needed as the waitress was doing an exceptional job. What really blew me away was the seafood burrito. My buddy recommended it so there I was. With this GIGANTIC burrito full of seafood goodness. I really should have taken half of it home but I was trying to prove myself. I won/lost depending on how you would view it! Definitely my new go to menu item and I will absolutely try to do this more often.

    I want to say that Los Portales in Callao has gone down. I ordered what was described as a taco…read moresalad. It is described as a crisp flour tortilla filled with ground beef or chicken, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, Los Portales cheese and sour cream. What I got was no crispy tortilla ... just sick looking chicken nuggets of some sort on shredded lettuce with something dumped on top. I ended up taking it back to the restaurant and finally got my money back after being lectured that I was rude and that it was my fault because I supposedly ordered the wrong salad. This is the second time they have botched my takeout order. I had ordered nachos with beans only and when I got the order they had put ground beef and beans on them. Yuck. So, I will not step foot in this restaurant again and it smells greasy which doesn't enhance my eating experience. Be forewarned.
