Great Mexican cuisine! Awesome cocktails, both tequila based and mezcal based. The Oaxaca Old Fashioned was very smooth and a nice twist on an old bourbon favorite. Excellent crab tacos, guacamole, really everything. read more

My sister had recommended this place and I've come here before and the service was awesome. Today the service was slow, the people beside us came in after us and was served before,ate and left before we were served. Food was tasteless and wasn't good. Margaritas were great. Manager was good about the whole deal. read more

Recently I was given the suggestion to try this restaurant with the recommendation that it would be well above the chipolte's or most other local mexican-style or themed restaurants in the area. my girlfriend and I as well as my brother, who ended up paying a short noticed visit were all very pleasantly surprised at the level of refined food choices, solid menu, fresh ingredients, as well as the modern decore of the establishement. Seating was one of the minor complaints but to no real fault of its own since it is centered in downtown Camden, all of which is fairly historical and the buildings in the city center are all period pieces to the revolutionary war, thus inside space was somewhat tight, but that is only a very minor inconvenience. When we arrived, it was high time for the restuarant, i.e. 7pm ish... so there was a wait, approx 40min...( on thing to note about the hostess station, we found that the behaviors of the hostesses were less than desirable, an almost "why am I here", and "you're bothering" me kind of tone. I would suggest that a hostess station can be one of the most important places in a restuarant as patrons can get a very fast feel for how their evenings may be based on the initial phase of greeting customers, so something to work on there).. now as to your arrival times, I would suggest getting there about an hour earlier, say 5-6pm for slightly faster seating.. however, if you do arrive, there is a bar, but it too has limited seating with only 1 person working behind it generally as that is about all that can fit. Thus Drink orders can at times be slightly on the slow side. However, all but one of the drinks were very well made and they have a more than ample selection of Tequila's should that be of interest to you. once seated, the menu wasn't over populated, which immediately made me think that they to decided that sometimes less is more so long as the food is cooked well, and they didnt dissapoint. I ordered a Seasame grilled Mahi Tuna Fish Taco, which upon inspection was not frozen fish chunks or flavored Cod, but a solid piece of tuna with a Mango salsa, mixed greens and vinegrette to apply from a seperate ramikin. it was very well cooked, the fish was not over done and the tortilla it was served in was very good. My girlfriend ordered the Burritos De Pollo. The chicken was definitely fresh, very tender and juicy and topped with a very nice Queso that too was not overly salted.. the chicken was not flat topped to heat it up or microwaved, it was seasoned well and not over salted. My brother ordered the Asada steak Quesadilla and his was very well made as it was crispy, while the steak was very well marinated and portioned throughout the quesadilla so you definitely got your monies worth. The Wait staff were all friendly, perhaps slightly overwhelmed when busy, but all willing to please, thus tips were happily given at the 20%. My only real grievance was again with the hostess station. My reasons for giving it a 4 as well as only a fisrt time visit. should I return and update this posting, I will accordingly adjust my number, but so far, this place is definitely worth the visit, and it shall be visited again soon! read more

Very delicious and nice chill atmosphere. Food and drinks were really good! Will definitely be coming back

Really solid restaurant...dinner at the bar where Jasmine was a gracious host and makes a great Salud Margarita. Chilli Releno just perfect...Camden has a really nice collection of restaurants all within just a couple of blocks there on Broad St. I suspect we'll become regulars. read more

One of my favorite all time restaurants! Great authentic food, relaxed atmosphere and wonderful staff. This is not a chain or your regular run of the mill Mexican food. Well worth a drive. read more

COOL Atmosphere in this repurposed, exposed beam and brick building. The service was spot on and there were plenty of servers/food runners. The food was fresh and delicious. I ordered the chicken Ensalada Saluda and it was by far the best taco salad ever. The chicken was freshly grilled and chopped, not shredded. Delicious. My son had Crab Enchiladas and he loved them. It was a lot of food. My daughter had Burritos de Pollo and she nearly ate them both. Again, it was a lot of food. We all are picky about dining out and these guys have it going on. Camden's secret little gem. read more

Wow. Been sitting close to ten minutes and not even a water. And it is not even busy. Ohhh. Waiter came. Hope the food is worth the wait. LOL. Fork bent to heck and sticky dirty. Sticky enough that some of the paper from the paper napkin stuck to it. This place is 5 star on Yelp? Am I being punked? Food arrived. Fair. Waited at least ten minutes to get a check. Came close to dropping a $20 and just walking out. Ugh. This place sucked. read more

First visit was nice. Kenny is the best waiter in Camden. Food was good and drinks were nice. Last night was told we needed a reservation after driving from Columbia. The first visit, we were told we could not make reservations. Front desk staff was rude. Will not be back and will not recommend to anyone. Plenty of other dining choices that treat customers as they should be treated. read more

Excellent food. I had the steak quesadilla and it was amazing. The meats are marinated and full of flavor

Wow! We came into town for Carolina Motorsports Park and have had a terrific time in Kershaw County. Salud, topped off a great day. From the first sip of the Salud Margarita we knew we were in for a treat in this lovely and hip space. The service, drinks, and food at Salud exceeded all of our expectations! Great job Salud! We look forward to eating here again the next time we visit the race track! read more

Excellent cheese chile relleno. Good guacamole. Impressive selection of sipping tequilas. Awesome service. Will definitely make the 30 min drive from Columbia and return! read more

For a Mexican place in this location this is a 5 star. Had lunch today and it was a great experience. I was mid-afternoon so just a few other customers were there. The waiter was very attentive I ordered a margarita - Coyota which was fresh juices and jalapeño syrup. Spicy and fantastic. No premade mix here! I had tacos lal pastor for the meal at the waiters recommendation. 2 corn tortillas with pork. Cilantro, and grilled pineapple. It came with a said and I chose a guac salad (nice to have that option). I added some of the salad and salsa to the tacos and they were excellent. The lunch version was $7.50 and a deal for authentic Mexican food read more

Fantastic food. The service is top notch. My wife and I have been going to this establishment for many years. Great place for family get together or business lunches. read more

I love this place. I don't live in Camden and when my mom told me to expect the best margarita I have ever had, I rolled my eyes and expected to have to choke it down and pretend to like it. (I don't like many margaritas.) Wow, it was AMAZING. I can't remember what it was called but it had pineapple juice and a type of chili powder. So good. The food was good, too. read more

Okay, no more complaints. This is hands-down my favorite restaurant. The issues I had previously are gone. I'm a complete and unreserved fan. We'd be lost in Camden without Salud and its fantastic staff and food. read more

fancy Mexican Resturant. food came fast. taat d wonderful. I wanted ceziche but there's was only shrimp so I had the pulled beef burrito Frito.good portion size. waiter Keven was excelent. organized, efficient, and profeshional. I normally don't give 5 stars but 4 isn't right. read more

This place was recommended to us by a couple of friends and it was truly outstanding. The food is fresh and tastes so, so good. Highly recommend! read more

Love going here for lunch, the food is always good. The environment is beautiful and makes me feel relaxed.

I've never had a bad meal here, after at least 10 visits. Food is great, margaritas are outstanding. Their margarita menu is bigger than the food menu. At times, service can be a little slow but the atmosphere makes the wait worthwhile. Highly recommended! read more

Guacamole was awesome. Service was awesome. Great find while traveling through SC to GA. read more

Wow, what a seriously nice surprise. Over 100 tequilas and a selection of Mexican craft beers. The atmosphere was really nice - sort of a contemporary Mexican and the food was delicious. I can't wait to go back. read more

I was skeptical when I read all of the wonderful reviews on line but I have to say this was hands down the best Mexican food I have ever eaten! The salsa was so good and so fresh I could have drank it, except it was too chunky to drink! The pablana burrito was wonderful and covered with just the right amount of guava salsa. A little heat and a little sweet. Perfect! The staff was great, very attentive and made the perfect suggestion. I will definitely be back when I return to Camden, SC!!! read more

Salud - Pablana Burrito - Mexican Near Me - Camden, South Carolina

I have spend thousands of dollars in this restaurant over the years. It's become apparent that they don't care about the Camden locals that helped them afford to buy their new Columbia location. If you want good tequila and mezcal drink here. If you want friendly fast service and authentic Mexican food go elsewhere. read more

Took my mom there for Mother's Day. She is picky but does like chicken fajitas. Well, they don't have fajitas. She ended up with a chicken casadea which looked exactly like the ones from Taco Bell - ugh!! The menu is limited. The portions are small compared to other similar restaurants. Limited side orders. I had "fresh veggies" & they were cooked in butter & very mushy with no taste. I ordered a soda. It comes in a cute little 8 oz bottle but it costs $2.00 each. No free refills. Cute restaurant in an old refurbished building. If you're hungry, go somewhere else. If you're just having drinks with friends, it's fine. read more

Went there on a first date, and absolutely loved it as did my date. The drinks a little pricey, but the nice atmosphere makes up for it, and the food was delicious. We definitely hit it off and he really liked the spot I chose, so we have decided to go back; because oh yeah 100 different types of Tequila and soon a cigar lounge. Hidden jewel in Camden worth the drive.. read more

Just driving thru and found this excellent restaurant. Worth a few minutes drive off the highway. Good service, great food!

Great food and unique atmosphere. I really like their nachos and burritos. Upscale compared to other similar restaurants. We've taken our kids there, but not particularly child-friendly. read more

It was ok!! Ambience was good, good service food was mediocre !! Chicken had a strange taste ... Couldn't eat it emalades were so..so Great guacamole !! read more

Not impressed. We arrived around 6:00 PM on a Saturday night. The restaurant was almost empty and we were told all the tables were reserved and it would be at least a 45 minute wait. Very poor business to not to have a few tables set aside for early walk ins. We ended up going down the street and had a wonderful meal. read more

Such a hidden gem! This is definitely not your run-of-the-mill Mexican restaurant. The decorations and ambiance are very unique and laid back. The food and drinks were all original recipes, and all so good. read more

We've eaten here a few times and have had great meals each time. Food is fresh and tasty.

What a fantastic place! Great for dates and even girls night out. Low key but extravagant, this is the place to go.

The atmosphere was very nice. They have a full bar and the drinks look good. The food was great. We were there for lunch. We had a young waiter and he wasn't very attentive. He literally brought a half basket of tortilla chips to a 3 party table and would only bring us one once we ordered . I had to ask him to bring more water. Since we didn't order anything else to drink why did I need to ask? My daughter is 9 months pregnant just bring the chips already, we were clearly there to eat lunch. They have comfortable seating with tables and booths. Also there is a mezinne upstairs with comfy chairs if your into just drinks. Probably will try it again to see if I get different experience and if not, that's it for me. read more

The food and cocktails were excellent, we thoroughly enjoyed our meal! I do have a suggestion for management/staff, this coming from someone that has worked extensively in the food/beverage industry. We stood at the entrance by the gate for quite a few minutes with multiple staff members looking our way but not asking us if we'd been helped (we actually made a reservation earlier that day in person). A customer signaled to us of where to go and said it was their first time and they didn't know either. Signage would have been helpful to direct us to the host stand, although the stand looked like a wait staff station (beverage crates on stand, no menus) so we were unsure. Wasn't the friendliest welcome or first impression. Our waitress and mixologist were fabulous! read more

Salud's is the place to eat out in Camden and for good reason. The prices are just right, the drink list is great, and the food is amazing. Real good quality Mexican food. Its also real nice inside, great lighting and atmosphere. All of the locals, including myself, eat here regularly. read more

Great food, different atmosphere than anywhere else in town. Food prices are very reasonable. Full bar can get pricey with the full array of tequilas. Try the flights to find the one you like. read more

The atmosphere is great and the service staff is wonderful. Unfortunately the food is some of the worst Mexican cuisine that I have ever had. The beef is bland, unseasoned, salty and taste like cheap frozen steak-ums. The chicken has absolutely no taste at all. Their plating is terrifying. Nothing looks appetizing on your plate. They will place extremely large burritos and smother it in sauces that are bright green or bbq sauce red with no sides to accent it. The chain Mexican restaurants are much better then the food you will have here. I have eaten at Salud's twice hoping that they improve but unfortunately it just gets worse as you dive into the menu more. Great decor, but the worst food you can buy. read more

Unlike Mariachis in Sumter, this would be an ideal place to take your significant other on a date. Love the vibe and the ambient atmosphere, the wonderful decor and the very tasteful drink and food options. All of this within the small and reserved historic town of Camden. On the Con, reservations might be required (it's a busy popular place), I didn't care for how they served the water (medium jug tiny glass no ice) although it does make the place more unique but I'm a thirsty man, the staff doesn't seem very personable (again, the place is so busy) and I thought the drinks were a bit small for their price- $9 for a small saluda margarita. Even so highly recommended for a night out. read more

Great atmosphere, food and drinks. Our waitress Karen went above and beyond. Definitely recommend Salud.
