venezuelan bar food! such a cute bushwick spot. Small Neighborhoody with lots of character. graffiti walls and friendly staff. One of the menu specialties are hotdogs with unique but desirable toppings. I was pleasantly surprised and although the combinations were new to me, the taste was amazing . I can't wait to try the burgers - the patrons next to me told me that everything is good and i believe them
This is definitely bar food, so don't come here looking for an extraordinary dining experience. However, the Venezuelan-inspired dishes provide a fun, comforting meal! Casual setting for sure. Props to the sole employee working when I visited mid-afternoon. They were bartending, serving, and bussing.
stopped here on a saturday afternoon with friends. did not have time to order food but we got some spicy margaritas and they were really good! bartender was super sweet. There was a bit of a crowd when we went in. The decor is super cool, which is skateboarding decor. A perfect Venezuelan food bar.
I found this place through the local NY foodie account, Righteous Eats. Serving Venezuelan street food, this place doesn't have the most amazing food I've ever had in my life, but still gets five stars for creativity and uniqueness. I had the Perro Con Todo hotdog, voted the best NYC hotdog by the Village Voice, which boasts onions, cabbage, chips, shredded cheese, ketchup, mustard, and salsa. I love a good dog, but wish they had served mine hotter and with the cheese melted. It arrived a little cold and flat. They have several types of dogs with various cheesy toppings, veggie choices, and meats. They also have a vegan dog. I also had the Criminal Burger, served with chicken, steak, or chorizo. Also comes with egg, ham, cheese, onion, and chips. Fries must be purchased separately. As with the hotdogs, there are several renditions from which to choose, all with unique meat and veggie toppings--and yes, there is a vegan burger. They also have meat platters and sandwiches to clog any artery you have! My favorite part were the cocktails. Mezcal drinks, margaritas, beers, shots. Super reasonably priced (especially for New York!) and I found them fruity and refreshing. This is a quirky, edgy establishment with tons of fun art and stickers all over the wall. When I went, I was the only dine in patron and several people from the neighborhood stopped by for to go orders. Service was excellent. My server was super attentive and answered all questions about the menu. She made my drinks perfectly. Great local spot to chow down on street eats and margs.
OMG is what I said when I ate it. After I had said to myself that I was not going to eat hot dogs, curiosity got the best out of me, curiosity to try a new flavor made me break my word. I found this restaurant on Instagram and I had marked as something to try as I have many more spots to do so. Finally, I had the time to come at eat the different styles of Hot dogs made in a Venezuelan style. I was pretty much amazed at the Hot Dogs, I tried 3 different ones. They were the best of the best, this is a must have if one is in Brooklyn, absolutely good. Now, I really can not day, I will not eat Hot Dogs, because I have to go back a taste all the other styles.
Overall rating: 4.4 Really cool Venezuelan dive bar. The pricing was a bit higher than I was expecting for the area and atmosphere of the place. Definitely a local place which was fun. There was only one server who acted as the bartender too which is crazy for a full house! Would love to come back and try other items.
Came here a few weekends ago for a late night bite. The place was popping and the food delicious. We instantly fell in love with the quirky dive bar and had the best time hanging out here.
Came here on a Saturday with a friend for lunch at around 12:15 PM. They were open but not really ready for people to eat. I sat down with my friend and we had to wait a while to get a menu. The one bartender and server came over and took our order and our food came out pretty quickly. I like the Tostones and hotdog, it was very delicious. The only thing I didn't like about the tostones was the green sauce because I'm not a cilantro fan but otherwise it was very good. The place is definitely a bit of a dive bar, but a good place to have a filling lunch and would be a great bar food area, just don't expect amazing service or a floor and table that is not sticky.
Always come to the strip where this place is and one of my Elite Yelpers recommended this spot so HAD to try it. So glad I did and cannot wait to bring my kid here! The hot dogs are amazing. Delicious and something that I've never tasted before. All the loads on top are what make them great! It's a vibe inside. Salsa music playing. Lights dimm. Food came out quickly and the bartender who took my order was sweet.
The culture is in this location and I gotta give them credit for thats . Its a small spot full of flavor and culture The waiters and bar tenders are very kind The food ... omg so fresh and amazing.
I stopped by while I was in the area to grab a quick bite with my friends and was pleasantly impressed with how cheap everything was. The service was quick and the bar overall had nice vibes. We ordered different hot dogs, a burger, and the yuca fries. I tried the classic Santa salsa hot dog and it was quite good! While it was just a basic hot dog and bun, the toppings really enhanced the whole hot dog. The green sauce was DELICIOUS!! Overall, if you're looking for a quite bite/drink, definitely check out this place!
Starr Street is lucky to have a place like Santa Salsa on it. Their spin on the best of Venezuelan street food has the power to bring people together. Every single one of us was making a mess of our tables and faces, and loving every minute of it. If you've never tried tequeños before, this is the place to have them for the first time. One of the best drinking snacks in existence. The Santa Salsa classic perro is the only way I'll ever eat a hot dog again. Holy textures and sauces! The Carne Pepito is a special kind of sloppy steak sandwich with strings of melted cheese that will mesmerize anyone that looks at you eating it. Like I said, bringing people together. It's clear that the staff loves this place as much as its owner as it shows in the service. I cannot wait to go back on a Saturday night for their salsa dance party.
A solid, cheap, delicious lunch. What can I say? I fucking love a good hotdog. And this one was exceptional. I grabbed the Pero Con Todo with a side of their green sauce: Guasacaca, which is a traditional Venezuelan sauce, this one in particular was heavy on the cilantro and absolutely smacked on top of the dog. The chip, cheese, Guasacaca mix really can't be beat. Grab a beer and enjoy the Venezuelan punk / skate vibes.
Food (4/5): Solid hot dogs with creative twists. The steak was a bit chewy but the flavoring overall was great. The flavors worked well. Service (5/5): Very friendly and nice service. She was patient and helpful and the food came out quite fast. Ambiance (4/5): Lots of street type decor with graffiti, posters, and skateboards for chairs. read more

Refreshing my review since I've been here plenty of times over the years - food is consistently amazing and it's a great spot in general to grab a few drinks. Some of my favorite bites are the Santa Salsa dog, Criminal burger, and the Loca Fries (some of the best Fries in the city, and I don't say that lightly! Perfectly crisp each time). Will be back! read more
The hot dogs alone are worth a trip, but just about everything here is great. Came here on a chili night for a dog and some yuca fries, ended up enjoying a pina colada and some loca fries (bacon and cheese) and would come back! Set right in the cool part of Bushwick, the bar is great to sit at and they have stickers everywhere - totally compliments the "street hot dog" vibe. Myself and my friend ended up both getting the Santa Salsa hot dog - big recommended, but I really could've had just about anything on the menu, and need to come back for the burgers and sandwiches, as well as the insane amount of great dogs on the menu. The Santa Salsa dog really was delicious. Piled almost too high but every bite was tasty and it wasnt a mess! I love that green sauce so much and will ask for sides of it next time as the yuca fries went great with the sauce as well. The yuca fries were perfectly fried and seasoned. I didnt snap a shot of the loca fries, but love a good shoe string that was crispy and seasoned well. Plus its hard to mess up cheese sauce and bacon. Great spot, nice bartenders, and the FREAKING HOT DOGS. I'll be back. read more

This place is a vibe. Visiting from out of town, love finding novel places like Santa Salsa. We had: - The Criminal: honestly was super dark when we were eating, but the pictures looked great! And tasted great! I really didn't know what we were eating. It's vaguely a beef, egg, steak, crispy cheese, and sauce burger. - Guarapa: pretty much a rum x passion fruit juice cocktail. Got the tropical feels during December in NY. Fire experience - Monster Fries: steak, some cheese stuff, and sauce on a bed of fries. Great for sharing. Vibes/Aesthetic: it's freaking bushwick. 10/10 Food: like a unique fast food experience. 7/10 Drinks: yes 10/10 read more

Such a good post-club spot. The hot dogs were great, the bread pillowy. Beer was cheap. Service was great and quick. The decor here is so fun, and you can just zone out and watch the movies playing. Would definitely come back read more

It was relatively early on a Sunday and this place was dead for the moment. I was the first customer and settled at the bar with Garvis. I proceeded to have an excellent hot dog (Santa salsa, namesake) and mezcal marg. Both were excellent and the music, vibe and ease of service were perfect. I can't recommend this place enough for a random day drink and bite. Garvis was just a great dude as well. 10/10. read more

Food used to be very good when it first opened. Quality has gone down as has the customer service. This is probably because every employee I encountered behind their wall is either drinking or buzzed. I'm not a business expert (or maybe I am) but last time I reviewed business 101, it stated it's probably not a good idea to keep inebriated employees as forward-facing representatives of your brand. It dilutes your company's brand equity and is just bad business. Regardless of your trade. Don't let employees shit where THEY work and YOU earn your money. The girl with the tattoos on her stomach was pounding drinks like a College freshman at her first day of sorority rush. Get it together read more

Best Venezuelan hotdogs,best customer service and the vibes are unmatchable!!!!! I wish I can come everyday but we came all the way from Hawaii to try them and they did not disappoint!!! Amazing place you guys, keep up the good job representing our culture here in NY! read more
This is definitely a bar, more than it is a restaurant. Me and a group of my friends were doing an event in Area 53, and was looking for restaurant around the area that offered a vegan option. The whole street is artsy and definitely gives off a hipster vibe. This bar inside that is quite small. In the inside you have a bar, along with three tables. There is a total of 3 booths outside, all made with reused material. It has a bit of a charm with the unconventional reused snowboards used as a serving plate. The overall ambience was laid-back skater/ snowboarder vibes. We came to try out Santos salsa on a Tuesday there weren't many people at the restaurant. We ordered our food and it came out quickly, however the food came out with no utensils, or napkins. There weren't many guests at the restaurant that day, but the waiter seemed to be very overwhelmed. We helped ourselves to the napkins (-1). The food came out in a speedy manner. The food was not bad, but it wasn't anything that would make me say, "let's come back". The hotdogs were regular boiled hotdogs with toppings, the bun wasn't even toasted. It tasted like a hotdog stand hotdog with tops. Nothing too crazy. read more

A long time fave. Great food, great service, great vibes! Can't think of a single complaint I've ever had! read more
This was one of the best sandwiches I've ever had in NYC. Never had Venezuelan food before, but this was amazing. Everyone enjoyed their food, but the favorite was the sandwiches because they're bigger and around the same price as a burger. I want to go again and try the tostones. The outside venue is fun and theres music going on which made the whole experience amazing Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

This place is a hidden gem. Amazing food, amazing service and great prices! I had already eaten unfortunately so I only ordered a few small items my first time here, but I honestly cannot wait to go back because their whole menu looks so delicious. This might be the best Yucca I've ever had and the tostones were beyond great too. The steak on top was cooked perfectly, tender and moist and such great flavor. I definitely recommend checking this place out when you're in Bushwick. Go early, outdoor seating is very limited. read more

I stopped here when my friend and I were walking around. I got the pan con queso, and my friend got the perro con todo. Easily the most delicious hot dog I've had in my life. I was almost brought to tears, hearing music in my head, the whole nine yards. The gal who works here was also very sweet, what a wonderful experience :) read more

Good service, and very cool restaurant. The cocktails are amazing. I am a little biased as I am Venezuelan, but the hot dogs left a lot to be desired. The toppings were okay....but the hot dog itself tasted boiled and just lacking of flavor in general. Probably my least fave Venezuelan hot dog I've had. I just felt like I was eating bread and toppings. The yuca fries were delish, and so was the parchita juice. More of a 3.5 read more
