Craved Al pastor tacos but ended up getting much more than planned! Everything was good, better than expected as finding really good Mexican food in East Valley is challenging. Vampire tacos and Vampire quesadillas both are popular here (it's basically queso birria) Their al pastor bowl was good but felt the beans in its sauce overpowered the al pastor flavoring. Hubby enjoyed his burrito as the waitress said that's one of their popular on the menu besides the Vampire quesadillas and tacos. read more

I stopped here for lunch while shopping at San Tan mall. Totally random, walked by the place, it looked very inviting, especially the packed patio at lunch hour. The service was wonderful. Super friendly and warm and the waitress made excellent menu recommendations since it was my first time. I only tried the vampire tacos which were absolutely amazing! That said, there were so many great options on the menu that I am looking forward to go back and try. I loved the atmosphere. Bold decor and unapologetically authentic! Kudos for delivering a non-sterile, bland experience. Will definitely recommend and cannot wait to go back! read more

Salt Tacos y Tequila - SanTan - Vampire tacos. Delicious. Full of bold flavors and hearty ingredients with right amount of spice - Mexican Near Me - Gilbert, Arizona

I recently visited this restaurant and unfortunately my experience wasn't great. Even though the restaurant was less than half full, the total time from being seated to getting our food and finishing our meal took much longer than it should have. When the food finally came out, some of it was disappointing. The taco shells tasted stale and the meat was dry. The enchiladas were actually pretty good and probably the highlight of the meal, but the pricing didn't really match the portion sizes. Charging $19.50 for three small street tacos feels excessive for what you get. Overall, between the dry food and high prices, I don't feel like the experience matched the cost. I hope they can improve their food quality and overall service because it has potential. read more

My friend and I came to Salt to catch up over a drink. We sat at the bar where we received great menu recommendation and had attentive service. The bartender was patient and kind when we couldn't decide between two cocktails on the menu. Instead of just suggesting one over the other due to popularity, she asked what we liked about each cocktail and made a custom drink. This was both thoughtful and personal, which really elevated the experience. We were mostly there for drinks, but decided to share the ceviche -- it was a perfect portion with great flavor. Overall great service and fun atmosphere. read more

Great service. Our server was helpful in selecting the best specialty tacos to choose from and since it was Taco Tuesday the prices were great! All $4.50 or $3.50 each. Great food. We ordered the Vampire, chicken, shrimp, and the carne asada. Three out of four were delicious...like so, so, good! Our favorite was the vampire! I'd order them all again except for the carne asada (overcooked/dry). The elote dip made up for it though. It was really good and a great portion. You can add some to your tacos ;-) Great restaurant vibe. Good music. Great seating options. The decor is pretty cool too! read more

Came for dinner at 6pm on a Wednesday night. I was seated right away but ended up leaving my table to sit at the bar instead. My sister and I shared the carne asada fries and these were so delicious. I would come back just for this appetizer alone. She got the lobster tacos and I got the blackened fish tacos. The lobster one was pretty good but my fish tacos really lacked flavor. We asked for hot sauce and that helped. Seriously though, get the carne asada fries. They're tasty! read more

Lobster tacos were small and the lobster was cold. Nacho supreme had gooey cheese that was cold and tasteless meat. Also had to pay for chips and Salsa but one salsa and small basket of chips is not for satisfying 5 adults. Server was great though read more

Whew! Highs and lows. On the plus side: Fun decor Great happy hour menu Carnitas tacos were so good! Great salsa! Lows: We got a lot of finger foods and messy stuff like tacos but only got 1 cocktail napkin each. The table next to us got a huge tower of nachos and a tower of cocktail napkins. Does this restaurant only have cocktail napkins?? We'd have asked our server but... Our server was so nice and then just never around. We had to ask the person who brought out food for plates. Then for silverware as we hadn't realized there wasn't any. Then for water as people had bone dry glasses and no one came with water. We'd want to order things and just never get checked on. It wasn't busy. Don't worry, we still tipped 20% because we're not jerks and maybe there was a legit reason. Mini chimis were way too cheesy/creamy/mushy. Oh well! So for all that, I'd absolutely go back and enjoy Margaritas, chips and salsa, and those carnitas tacos! I'd try some new things! But I may bring some napkins, just in case! read more

Update to my previous review! We have tried this place a few more times. I am happy to report that the food has gotten much, much better. We have also enjoyed friendly service. I love Arizona Restaurant Week. The menu was fairly priced and the entrees were delicious. There was a course delivery/timing issue that was a bummer, but the manager came by and addressed the problem, which was greatly appreciated. I am glad that we gave this place another try, it is definitely in the date night rotation now. read more

We came tonight for a date at the recommendation of some friends and family - glad we did! The inside is absolutely gorgeous - very well decorated and super clean w an elaborate bar. We were seated right away, just on a Sunday night but not packed. We ordered several drinks (I love spicy margaritas and they had many of them!), the guacamole flight, the vampire tacos, and the al pastor tacos. Loved: the cucumber and pineapple spicy margaritas, the pineapple salsa, the Blue Hawaiian drink, and the vampire tacos! Fantastic!! Liked: the chicharron guac, pomegranate guac, the al pastor tacos, and the margarita flight. Didn't love: the chips and we were disappointed they were out of fish for the blackened fish tacos. Will definitely be back - a great spot for fantastic cocktails and delicious tacos! 4.5 stars read more

I'm not sure what happened to this place but service and food quality is not what it was when they opened. We had been coming in about once a month when they opened in their first year. But after having a bad experience about 6-8 months we stopped for a while. Finally our last visit was 1 week ago and it confirmed that it isn't the same. Last week we went in and sat at the bar for 10 minutes waiting for someone to acknowledge us. Um, this is why we sat at the bar.... A manager didn't say anything to us as he took inventory of the bar. Had a few people walk by and look at us but nothing. Finally the bartender at the well saw us and apologized and got us drinks. However their house marg was absolutely horrible. I honestly think this was the first time we got the house marg. It tasted like a watered-down drink. It comes out of a hose so that explains why we never got it in the past. That's terrible for a place that specializes in margs!! The food wasn't much better and that was the final straw. No flavor in the Elote appetizer and the chimichangas were just basic. We decided after the bad service and food to go somewhere else for dinner. We had to flag someone down for a bill. It's a shame, we really liked this place but the last 2 times just got worse so I'm not spending money on mediocre read more

So love the food, but disappoint about how much cheese they didn't put on it. For 27$ for nacho i should get a whole jar of it. I got food to go and this was the only i was very disappointed about read more

We have been to this spot before on prior travels to the area, but that was a late night visit pre-kids. It's a very fun night vibe for drinks and tacos. However, this time we are visiting we have a toddler. We loved the tacos and wanted to go here, but were pretty nervous based on the lively atmosphere we experienced before. So instead, we found ourselves looking for dinner early on a Monday night and decided to give it a shot. So glad we did! The day time and early evening vibe, especially for a weekday, was so much more chill and palatable for a family with kids/toddlers. We were seated immediately. Hostess had to deal with my husband and I being indecisive from a long day and did so well seating us when we couldn't decide. Happy hour here is a good deal, we got 4 tacos each and I also got a house margaritas which was perfection. My husband ended up ordering another set of 2 tacos to finish his meal. We like the chicken tinga and the potato ones best. My toddler had a side of rice and beans and devoured most of it, which is rare. The food runner/busser was super kind to my baby and welcoming. The experience was better than I could have imagined it going and the food was as great as we remembered.. Highly recommend. read more

Tequila is a favorite for a girls party and a place with that name, of course we would pick that. We had our annual girls holiday party and rounded on this place. Located in the San tan mall it's hard to miss. The ambiance & decor is modern & Mexican. The service is quick and we were attended immediately! We went with pitchers of margarita, the mango and the prickle pear was our favorite. The food was delicious we went with macho nacho, wings, guacamole, corn dip and tacos. Everything was great but felt there were too many nachos in everything. Overall we had a great time and look forward to visiting again! read more

Joined a friend for brunch, it was my first time here, and had a great experience! Large establishment located in the back of the mall, with vibrant decor, and calavera signage, its hard to miss! Upon entry, you will first notice just how large the restaurant is! Lots of open space with a full bar, fun & vibrant decor & friendly staff! We were immediately greeted by the friendly hostess & taken to our table right away. The menu has an excellent selection of specialty drinks & even serve them by the pitcher! Say less!! We decided on a pitcher of the strawberry pepper margarita and it was top notch! I tend to be a little picky about my margaritas, and this truly was one of the best I've ever had! Spicy & refreshing, this margarita hit the spot! It is made with fresh strawberries, strawberry purée & red chilè peppers. To top it all off, the glass is also coated in a Tajín & chamoy rim. For food, we actually just went with chips & salsa and nothing else! The salsa was a good in flavor, but I would've preferred it to be more chunky. Our experience was great from start to finish and also love that they have a dj. This is a great spot for groups, friends and having a great time. We'll be back! read more

I hate leaving reviews like this, but unfortunately, I feel like my experience needs to be heard. My boyfriend and I came here last night for the first time. I was so excited because I had wanted to try this place for literally years! They had my favorite tequila on the menu, which is the reserve de la familia (definitely not cheap by the way) and I was excited to have my boyfriend try it for the very first time. We ordered a round of drinks and two pours of the tequila. We also ordered some shrimp ceviche to start. We waited for 20 minutes for our drinks. Only for the server to come back and tell us that she didn't know how to ring the shots in so we had to wait even longer for those. The ceviche came out and was tasteless and bland. We had to go looking for our server and almost went up to the bar to order our shots because we had waited so long that we thought our server forgot. We finally got them and I ordered another margarita. Which took another 15 minutes to get to my table. My boyfriend's food came out wrong and my enchiladas were mediocre at best. The cheese wasn't even melted in the middle. We did our best to have the best experience possible, but unfortunately, nothing wowed us at all. Service was not good and I hate saying that because I've been in the service industry for 17 years so I'm a very patient understanding person. Our server seemed annoyed at the fact that my boyfriend's food was wrong even though we were not the ones who plugged the order in. Overall it was not a good experience and we will not be back. I just wanted to leave this review hoping that management would see it and not only give their servers more training, but also up their game on the food menu. Sorry for the one star guys because I really wanted to like this place!! read more

This place had so many flies. I spent most of the meal trying to keep the flies off of our plates. Music was too loud. Had to ask for our table to wiped off. Had to ask for napkins. Waiter had better things to do. Food was not great. Expensive! The carne asada plate was so tough my husband couldn't eat it. I got a carnitas burrito it had virtually no meat. It was all rice. read more

Great reversed HH! Our server was very attentive and friendly. Some of us got the $20 Almost Bottomless Margaritas with food purchase. Good deal! The Carne Asada nacho was massive! It fed the whole table! The Guac Trio was great! First time trying pomegranate with guac. It was yum! We also got wings and tacos and Tuna Aquachille. read more

I've attempted to come here twice now. Both times my party has been ignored and decided to go elsewhere. Recently stopped by this past Saturday around 2:30/3pm. Was seated outside. Wasn't super busy. The server for the area we were seated walked by us twice. No "welcome in", no asking if we were ready to order, no waters. Nothing. We left after 20 minutes. Can't say anything about the food, but not impressed with the service at all. Wouldn't give them another shot. If this is the service when it's not busy, can't imagine they are equipped when it is. read more

We checked out this spot during Arizona Restaurant Weekend and it was such a great experience from start to finish. The prix fixe menu had a solid variety -- something for everyone -- and everything we tried was full of flavor and beautifully presented. It was also super affordable, which made the whole night feel like such a great deal for the quality. They also have a great cocktail selection, which was a fun surprise! Creative, well-balanced drinks that actually matched the vibe of the menu. Big win there. But honestly, the highlight of the afternoon was our waiter, Eric. He was so much fun, super attentive, and consistently made sure we (and the tables around us) were taken care of without ever feeling rushed. It's rare to see someone handle a busy time with such ease and energy; he really made the afternoon extra enjoyable. Definitely recommend checking this place out... whether it's for Restaurant Week or just a night out, you'll leave full and happy! read more

Overall, the food was very salty--maybe it's fitting given the name of the place. We ordered the carne asada and fish tacos. The cilantro lime rice was the worst part: it was cold, dry, and looked and tasted like leftover rice. I have to admit the food was disappointing, although the location is nice. Unfortunately, I wouldn't come back. read more

The first time we came here I absolutely loved it! The overall experience was great! We had a great server who was friendly, fast and good with recommendations. We were seated at a booth right away and I loved the cute interior design and ambiance of the restaurant. I tried the vampire tacos and they were DELICIOUS! The nachos are also gigantic! Enough to share with a big group! I loved it so much I couldn't wait to come back to try their happy hour! A few weeks after our first visit, we stopped back in for happy hour. We sat at the bar and our server was very distracted the whole time. We did not have a great experience the second time around unfortunately. We tried the ceviche and a couple different tacos. The ceviche was nothing to write home about. Tacos were good! The vampire tacos are definitely the best. If we did come back, it would definitely not be at the bar. Overall, not a bad option if you're in the area. read more

Came here to celebrate wife's birthday and was treated like a burden by the server. We waited 20 mins for a shot, watched her realize she forgot and made it herself. Then we asked for desert to go and again, waited 10 minutes after the bill was paid. When I question her on the desert I was told "sorry I thought they were going to bring it out". I'm sorry, but I was under the impression that's what a servers responsibility was. This was our second time in and the first visit was only marginally better. I would not come back to this restaurant with much more valuable choices in the shopping complex within a short walk. read more

Being a late night person, I love places that have reverse happy hour with discounted drinks and food. This Salt Tacos y Tequila location is located at SanTan Village in Gilbert. A group of us were in the area and came here for late night food and drinks. Even for a weekday, the atmosphere here was lively. Salt Tacos serves traditional Mexican food with a modern twist. They are most known for their handcrafted margaritas and for having 150 different types of tequila. Reverse happy hour (8pm - Close) has discounted food including half off select appetizers and $20 almost bottomless margaritas, mimosas, palomas and Bloody Marys with purchase of food. Salt Tacos also has a special menu for Taco Tuesdays and brunch. We got the Macho Nacho which ended up being a beast of an appetizer and way more food than we could handle. I do love the Dia De Los Muertos decorations everywhere. Cool place to hang out if you are looking for some late night eats. read more

We came Saturday about 1pm, party of 6. We were seated quickly. We sat on the patio. Our server was nice, we gave our drink & lunch order at the same time. Look we've been here 3x before and service is always slow unless you sit at the bar. This time was no different. Actually worse because our server was so stressed & rarely came by. We had to get our place settings ourself, no drink refills. Food was not very warm and the people behind is brought their beautiful standard poodle in and it sat in a chair like a person. I have dogs & bring them with me where allowed but that's a hard no for me. No one said anything. This was my last visit. I feel I gave them a fair chance. Don't do it...... read more

We were excited to go somewhere new in the area and had high hopes that we'd have a new favorite Mexican restaurant -- oooof. The food took forever and we had 3 kids with us (our mistake, sure). When our kids burritos came out, the cheese was cold and completely un-melted. It tasted like cleaning supplies. Then all of our food came out (carne tacos, carne burrito, carne bowl) and it was legitimately inedible. The steak tasted and smelled like dirty wet towels and poison. I've never not eaten a plate of food honestly and this was just disgusting. And of course it wasn't cheap but we paid and left but omg. Don't eat here yikes. read more

First time here, came with friends who had actually come for their first time the day before! We all had to come back and try it for ourselves! So glad we did... Wife had the margarita flight, which is amazing in itself! She liked them all but loved the skinny one best. You don't get to pick the ones to try, it comes with a selection of four different ones. The flight she got included The Skinny, Raspberry Hibiscus, Salt Paloma and I can't remember the other one but it's in the picture. I ordered Chips and Salsa and it was funny because I was the only one to eat them and the server split the cost with everyone at the table...good thing they love me and I didn't have to fork over .84 to pay each one back! The salsa is good, not spicy but had good flavor and the chips were light and salty. I ordered the Chilaquiles with Carnitas and when it arrived, oh my gosh! It was more than enough for two or three or even four people! It's huge and I could only get through about a quarter of it! It was so good although...they use a red sauce and I'm more a green sauce kinda girl. The meat was cooked well and was juicy and flavorful. The sauce was good, maybe a bit thick but had good flavor and wasn't too spicy. I'm a whimp when it comes to spice and I handled it just fine. Wife had Carnitas tacos which comes with three tacos, well dressed with pickled onions and queso and green salsa. She said they were delicious. One friend ordered the chicken & waffles, which she said was good. The chicken was fried perfectly and and waffle was crisp. The downfall for her was the rosemary butter that is on the waffle. You really need to like rosemary to enjoy this flavor with the chicken and waffle...odd combination. The syrup was good, had a strong orange flavor to it. Note to self...get the potato tacos next time! Got to taste from a friend and they are wonderful! The potatoes are seasoned so well and the tacos come with a yummy cilantro-lime sour cream. We sat outside on the patio and it was noisy between the people and music but overall a great experience! It was fun to watch as other orders came to tables to see all of the spectacular dishes they create. Another visit (or several!) for sure! read more

If I could give more than 5 stars I would. Dawson and Savannah at Salt in Gilbert were amazing. Their energy, attention, and all around good vibes made the night. The drinks were 100 out of 10 and honestly some of the best cocktails I have ever had anywhere. The Vampire Tacos were a perfect 10 out of 10. The Carne Asada tacos were full of flavor and cooked perfectly. The Elote Dip was so good I wanted to lick the bowl.

Went in on a Friday afternoon for lunch. We had the option to sit inside or outside. We opt for inside. There was light music playing and no extremely busy. We were sat and water offered right away. The menu had lots of options from chips and salsa, ceviche, tacos ranging from shrimp, steak and chicken to name a few, enchiladas, nachos, the list can go on and on. They also have a full bar and many drinks options on the menu. We opt for the frozen marmargarita flight, but they were not frozen yet, so we took it on the rocks. They give you four different flavors. We then for the nachos and the enchiladas. Both were delicious. You are able to customize them by adding toppings like chicken, steak and few other. We kept the nachos without a pprotein and then chicken enchiladas with beans and rice. They also offer happy hour deals and late night deals too. read more

Worst dining experience ever! Went @ noon on a Wed, parking lot in the shopping center was packed but no one was in this restaurant. I stood for over 5 mins @ the front & no one acknowledged me. Finally walked over to an employee asking to be seated. Still only 1 other patron in the place & we soon found out why. The menu was so faded from ckeaning that I had to request a different one so I coukd read it. I ordered the 3 enchilada meal for $17. It comes with rice & beans but because I don't read spanish apparently for $17 they are only cheese. The waiter asked me what meat & wanted so I asked what tge choises were & picked chicken. My friend picked the 3 tacos for $16. My food came out almost cold & I had to send it back to get heated up. My friends tacos came out open face on tiny corn tortillas that were stale, like shoe leather. Service was non-existant. We asked for the manager who looked all of 18 yrs old. She did comp the taco plate but when the bill came I learned that the little bit of chicken in my enchiladas was $5. EXTRA!! $17 for cheese enchiladas? $5. extra for meat & they weren't even very good. I am certain this restaurant won't be open long. Stay clear! read more
