Early lunch...
Chantel Q.

8/13/26 lately, I am loving my ground hog days.. laugh, clean/ pack, kids, errands, shopping and then Vampire Tacos... Ps- you're all completely worth the wait with Zero complaints. Thank you!! Ps- vibe, service, and atmosphere couldn't be better. Thank you!! PSs- back to calm

Mexican restaurant located in SanTan, with a large amount od tables and seating. I came here during lunch hour on a Tuesday and it was pretty quiet. Ob Tuesdays they have Taco Tuesday deals, which brings the price of tacos down drastically. I got the taco salad with chicken tinga, it was really good. The people I was with got the tacos, there food was extremely delayed compared to mine and they received the wrong items. They said the tacos were just okay, and they had no interest coming back for them. The service was extremely slow for how little people who were in the restaurant and there were multiple waiters. I am giving this maybe to attend, because I really liked my food, but it seems like there is a lack of consistency with service and meals.

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.

Vampire tacos.  Delicious.  Full of bold flavors and hearty ingredients with right amount of spice

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!

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.

Friendly staff, bar sits in the center of the restaurant with plenty of TVs and perfect spot to admire artwork and murals on the wall. Had a great deal for $25 Bottomless brunch drinks with a few to choose from mix and match.

Chicken and vampire tacos
Joyce J.

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!

Elote dip and mini chimis are my fave. The elote burrito smothered was huge and yummy. The raspberry hibiscus margarita is delicious !

Love the food and drinks. Service is great once you're seated , they seem short staffed recently. Wait staff are kind and friendly. Highly recommend happy hour visits as it's $$ outside of those hours , but still worth it.

Lobster Tacos
Lucy L.

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!

The one napkin I got for guacamole, queso, mini chimis, and tacos. Maybe they'll have real napkins next time?
Alisha O.

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!

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.

Food is ok, typical cheap Mexican stuff. However, the service has been awful every time we have been there.

During our previous visit, we experienced several issues, including food being served at different times, soup arriving with the main course instead of beforehand, and being given an incorrect receipt. I spoke with the owner after that visit and was promised that our next meal would be comped as an opportunity to give the restaurant another chance. We returned with friends, hoping for a much better experience, but unfortunately, the service was still subpar. The service lacked friendliness and engagement, which made the overall dining experience less enjoyable than it should have been. For the price of the meal, you would expect a much higher level of service, attentiveness, and hospitality. Unfortunately, that was not our experience. It's disappointing when you give a restaurant another chance in good faith, only to leave feeling that the experience still falls short of expectations. I believe every restaurant deserves an opportunity to make things right, but consistency, quality service, and making guests feel welcome are essential, especially at this price point. Unfortunately, this visit did not leave us feeling confident about returning.

The parking lot outside was parking so we thought we may have to wait, but inside was not busy yet and we were seated immediately. I ordered the smoked chicken enchilada as I saw it was a Yelp favorite and it was delicious. I ended up taking half of it home since we all filled up on chips and salsa before our meal. This restaurant is decorated so cutely. I love how there is a Baja influence with all the surf boards but also southwest appeal. There is plenty of seating and tables for big groups. Even with other people yapping around us, the noise level was perfect to enjoy company. 10/10 would recommend.

I've lived closeish for quite some time and never came here, somehow. I'll blame i ton the kids -…read morealways have to go somewhere that is "kid friendly" and has a "good kid menu." But the wife and I were in the mood for Mexican... so in we came. The kids are a little older so were content with doing the dreaded iPad surfing. There are no games like cornhole or anything for them to "play" with. All good. Kid menu was standard fare. I got the Blue Corn Stacked Enchiladas with chicken. So damn good. I literally overate like it was Thanksgiving. Wife is a vegetarian and the menu was a bit slim for her, especially since salad was off-limits due to Cyclospora outbreak - not taking any chances. Got a flight of frozen margaritas - Cucumber, Mango, Blueberry, and Blood Orange. All of them terrific. I would love to come back.

Server apologizes again. Wife orders a medium sized margarita on the rocks. 10-12 mins pass... And finally we get the correct fajitas. (With a brand new setup plate too. Yay) We get the bill... The dang margarita costs the same as the fajitas! $20 for a margarita is too much. If the price was disclosed when we ordered we would have skipped it. Not a good value. Our bill was $45 for one order of fajitas and one margarita. (I drink water) LOL: Table next to us is a dude clearly on a tinder date. She's got three empty $20 margarita glasses. He has one. Hope he scored. Bet his bill was $150!

We tried their chips and salsa, green chile cornbread, potato tacos, egg rolls, pozole, the pasta, shrimp cocktail, the chile rellenos, and the steak. The dishes I would not order again are the potatoes, the churro ice cream. The potatoes were super crispy/dry. The churro ice cream was also crunchy and dry, not what I want for my potato or churros. The pozole taste was good but the consistency is not what you expect from the pozole. Overall it was a good experience.
