Great reasonably priced Mexican!! We have tried others in the trumbull/Fairfield are and it is by far the best and with the most variety for the salsa bar! Kids meal is perfect sized for small appetite. read more

My go-to lunch spot: budget friendly, generous and, most of all, delicious! My regular order is the tamales platter but any of the tacos are fantastic too. Always looking to support small business, Señor Salsa is one of them. read more

Been a few years since I've been up this way... I was impressed once again with the quality of service and the authentic Taste of the food... Even on a busy Friday night when everyone's hungry right at rush-hour I was served quickly and... Even on a busy Friday night when everyone's hungry right at rush hour I was greeted by who I believe is the manager very friendly and accommodating and the TAQUITOS were OUTSTANDING! I almost had to make another order it was that good! read more

Food was not real Mexican. Chicken taquitos had just milligrams of chicken. Place was not clean and much less the kitchen and behind the counter. read more

I have been here lots if times. I love it here. Today ordered my usual #2 taquitos and quesadilla. The taquitos were extremely well done and the chips were the same. I asked my waitress If I could send them back. She took my plate and must have asked someone and she returned with my food and said "I was told If we cook it any less It will be frozen. Not sure If I will Be returning again :( read more

Great value for the money. Especially with the Champion burrito. Good is fresher and better tasting than Chipotle. Service is fast and amicable. read more

So delicious! We were craving (American style) Mexican good and this place hit the spot! Ordered a bunch of stuff including two types of fish tacos, two types of burritos, nachos, rice and beans m, and flan. It was all great, and ready very quickly for pickup. Will definitely be back! read more

Delicious food. Friendly workers. I eat here a few times a month. read more

Cashier gave me attitude and rolled his eyes and raised his voice when I asked him to confirm how many extra shrimp I asked for in my burrito. This guy has screwed up my order before so I wanted to make sure I was getting what I was paying for, he was so rude I ended up walking out without getting anything. I wont go back there unless someone responds and apologizes to me. Leave your anger at home please. If this guy never screwed up before I wouldn't have asked to confirm. Ridiculous. read more

My coworkers love this place and we've gotten catering a few times so I was encouraged to try it. I ordered the chili lime salad the two times I've been here. It's good, I especially like the chicken which is cooked fresh throughout the day. But for some reason every time I've eaten their food I've gotten really bad stomach cramps. So unfortunately I won't be back. read more

Customer Service is total garbage. Uncaring, unwilling to help or make certain customer is satisfied & can't even get an order right. Covid is no excuse for not caring about customers. Will never go back again and telling every single person I know that this place is garbage. read more

Senor Salsa - Proof that I was there. - Mexican Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

The tall manager with glasses literally never has a mask on. Meanwhile all the workers follow all the rules. I think this is the fifth time I've seen him blatantly not caring. read more

My visit at Senor Salsa's ended with me half curled-up in the backseat of my parents' car moaning about how stuffed I was while alternating between cramming tortilla chips into my mouth and taking breaks to hum "I Believe in a Thing Called Love," wired from one too many trips to the soda fountain. Senor Salsa has become the go-to spot for grabbing food when visiting my brother at Fairfield University. Between their varied menu, quality food and affordable prices, it's a great no-frills kind of place to grab food when you're looking for a casual dining option. The burritos and salads are always great but I'd have to say that the salsa station is Senor Salsa's selling point. They have an amazing Shrek-looking sauce that tastes of avocado and happiness. I like to mix it with their traditional red salsa and saturate my whole meal with it. I always have no problem demolishing a burrito by rationalizing that I'm burning off calories walking back and forth to self-refill on soda or salsa. Hey, whatever works right? ... I believe in a thing called looo-ove... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=sRYNYb30nxU read more

We frequent here about once a week. usually for lunch. You better get there early if you want a seat. I recommend securing a table then ordering. I highly recommend the #2 - burrito ranchero, the lime-chicken salad, and the #3 - quesadilla and tequitos. read more

Even with Chipotle and Qdoba now in town this is still my go-to place, mainly because it's the only one that offers fish as a protein choice. I usually get the fish tacos or the burrito. They're always fresh and very tasty. I'm a huge fan of Mexican food and had it all over the country and in Mexico and I have to say their flavors are very on point. I also like that they're pretty accommodating. When I'm limiting my carbs you can ask for tacos without the tortilla and they'll make you a little platter. Omg I'm getting so hungry writing this review!!! The staff is nice but don't expect super friendly. And since they don't serve alcohol and the ambiance is mehh I always get my stuff to go. The one negative is the super tiny parking lot, I've waited in that lot for good 10 minutes at times staring down people inside to leave. But yeah, the tacos were worth it. read more

Absolutely in love with this place and definitely going back. They have a huge variety of different tacos, burritos, salads and more. also they have a huge salsa bar that's made everyday, and it tastes so fresh. Definitely don't overlook this place. It may be small from the outside but inside it's great. 10/10 would recommend coming here read more

If you're looking for quick, cheap, and interesting food in Fairfield, your options are somewhat limited (in my opinion). For that reason, Señor Salsa a godsend. It's not too expensive, the burritos are reliably good, you can be in and out in a hurry, and it's really conveniently located. If you're hungry and aren't looking for anything revolutionary, this is a no-brainer. A word of advice: for most of their standard burritos, the menu offers you two options: chicken or steak. You should be aware, then, of a third, mostly unspoken option: carnitas. The carnitas here are only somewhat worthy of the name, being more like stewed pork than the carmelized wonderfulness that Mexican food fans know and love and know and love some more. But of the meat choices at Señor Salsa, the carnitas are definitely the best. read more

Who would think a tiny (indeed undersized) Mexican fast food joint without adequate parking located on the MEDIAN of the super busy Boston Post Road would be the pinnacle of taste, quality, and value for its genre?  Welcome to the organized chaos that is Senior Salsa!   Logically speaking, there is no reason this place should be in business.  They break most Resturant survival rules in ways that might doom establishments sporting a Michelin star.  I already described the location.  Forget about walk-ins, and unless you know it's there, you are well past it in a car before you can react.  Ok...  Let's say you do know where it is.  Hit the place at the wrong time and you can't get near it - It's mobbed. Why do the legions of regulars put up with this nonsense?  Simple.  The food is magical.  Everything is prepared fresh every day.  Walk in and you will see fresh meat on the grill at all times.  Look in the back and you'll see fresh veggies being chopped, diced, crushed, whatever...  The salsas, sauces, and sides?  All prepared fresh.  The volume is such that NOTHING SITS FOR LONG.   Order something with "beef" and you will be respectfully corrected by the super pleasant staff.  It's made with steak.  Look behind the serving team and you'll likely see it being made.  It is steak - and a darn good cut.  Best kept secret ingredient?  Order the fish.   Back to the ingredients.  The salsa bar has to be seen to be believed.  Mountains of top shelf fresh additions for every palate.  Most made in various levels of intensity.  Take as much as you want.  The place is about satisfaction, not portion control.  It is a place to indulge couriousity and to put the flavor bar in a place not to be easily matched. I give just four stars because of the size and location.  Had to drive past a few times without my much anticipated meal because of the crowds!  It's that good. read more

Definitely loving everything about Senor Salsa. The food is really good, the salsa bar is why you come here and the prices are more than reasonable considering the large portions. I really appreciate all the different types of house made salsas they have in the salsa bar. There will be a choice of every level of heat from green tomatillo (mild) to habanero (very hot), so depending on your mood that day you are covered. Steak or pork burritos are my go to choices at a spot like this and they are very good although I'd have liked for my flour tortilla to be grilled just a tad bit more. But that is a minor thing. They are served with rice and choice of black or re-fried beans so the portions are more than enough. I'll be back for some quick service, solid Mexican food when passing back through Fairfield. read more

I had not been there I some time and when I returned last weekend the food was blend and the chips which used to be home-made are now from what seems to be a big factory bag. Too bad La (Senior) Salsa has lost its magic. It was a good spot to get TexMex. read more

This place recently went under new ownership and man is it obvious. I got a chicken quesadilla and the chicken was burnt and cold. The cheese was barely melted and the tortilla probably spent a total of 10 seconds on the grill. I ate half and threw the rest out. They gave me literally 9 chips with my order with a microscopic piece of guac. I used to love this place back in the day, but it appears these guys just don't care anymore. Never going back. read more

Senor Salsa - Oh thanks for ALL the chips you guys! Take note of the tortilla BARELY touching the grill. Terrible! - Mexican Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

As far as food quality and authenticity, this place definitely Is better than all other taco shops I know of in the westport- fairfield - bridgeport area. However, to be more precise, you just can't get a good taco shop in this area so I would consider this place mediocre. They don't have authentic carnitas or Carne asada. Instead they offer a marinated pork and cubed steak. It all tastes fine, but if you've lived in San diego and Mexico, you could be disappointed here. Their salsa bar is great,portions are good size, and they're pretty quick with getting you your food. However, the one thing that struck a really bad chord with me at this place is that they honestly don't care about the customer. They probably hold this mentality because they outshine other taco shops in the area. On one occasion I was charged I think roughly 4 dollars for beans and rice when I asked to add it to my plate. Seriously? That's just lame. Another time I asked for chips (duh this is a salsa place) and the counter lady yelled at me because I accidentally thought some chips on the counter were mine and they belonged to someone else. Who yells at their customer to begin with and over chips?! Overall, go there if you have a fix for a Mexican taco shop in the area. But, honestly make sure you know how much your order costs because I'm sure aa heck never going to pay 4 dollars for rice and beans again. read more

Mama mia - that's a spicy meatball! This is a great spot with great food - bare bones - but the food is great. Plus E-Z in / E-Z out location. This place is the definition of good eats at the right price. Hola!! read more

I usually love Senor Salsa, but I was so disappointed with my most recent experience I felt compelled to write this review. When I ordered a chicken fajita quesadilla ($7.25) with shrimp ($1.50) I expected to be charged $8.25, but no, I was charged $10.25! What's that math? I tried explaining this to my cashier, Carolina, that this was wrong, but she said there was nothing she could do because that's how it rings up in the register. Realizing this was a futile problem with no manager in sight, I was resigned to overpaying for my lunch. Alas, when I returned back to my office with my takeout, what was missing from my order? The shrimp I paid $3.00, not $1.50 more for. I frequent this location, but NEVER again. Go to the Westport location where the employees care instead. read more

Senor Salsa - Mexican Near Me - Fairfield, Connecticut

See all

Based on the reviews, I thought my fiance and I would enjoy Senor Salsa (we looove Mexican food), but boy was I wrong. The outside of the restaurant looked poorly maintained and the parking area was completely atrocious. I can't tell you how many times I tripped over random rocks... for no reason! The inside of the restaurant looked better- but the first thing I saw was a worker standing on a table to fix a fixture on the wall... and he didn't even wipe/disinfect the table after standing on it! Gross! The food was so-so. My fiance and I shared the soft taco combo. But I couldn't stand the corn tortilla. (Everything in the taco was good, it was the tortilla!!) I ended up giving him my half of the taco. He liked the salsa station... It was decent. In the end, I don't think we'll come back to Senor Salsa... read more

I'm so sad! This used to be my guilty pleasure. Fresh, well prepared authentic Mexican food. Even the chips were home made. Not anymore. My food was ready in less than 3 minutes. The chips were stale and my burrito was chewy. The beans were the tastiest part of my meal. The best part of eating here was the variety of freshly made salsas: no longer the case. They all taste the same with the exception of the habanero, which I had to scrape the bottom of the bowl for, and the red tomato with too much cilantro :( Now in all honesty my review is perhaps tainted by the fact that I brought my kids with me and the ruined my dinner, but the food was ALSO an epic fail! I've been sick all nite BOOOO! Go to Taco Bell. Their new bowls are waaaayyy better! read more

I don't think La Salsa could be any more perfect. I'd give it twelve stars if I could. While I don't live in the area any more, I make it a point to get a La Salsa meal whenever I'm back (1-2 times a month). What's not to love? They take fresh ingredients and turn it into awesome food. Everything here is made on-site, and that includes all the great salsas at their salsa bar. I've never counted, but there's probably 8 or 9 salsas there, plus limes, if you like to squeeze a lime or two onto your food. Its definitely a take-out place, and although they do have some tables, they don't pretend to be a sit-down restaurant. It can get crowded, especially on weekdays at lunch and weekend evenings, but its worth it. If you've never been there, when you go in, you order over on the right. If you have a special request (no cheese on your taco, extra chicken in your salad, whatever), no worries! Make whatever you order your own. Then, when you're waiting for them to make your food (they make everything to order, but they have it down to a science and nothing takes more than 5 minutes), go fill up your soda, grab a fork, knife, and some napkins, and head to the salsa bar to get some salsas. A side of chips comes with most dishes, and even if you're not the tortilla-chip type, get some salsa anyway for your food. There's no real limit to the amount of those little salsa cups you can use (I usually get 4 - some for my chips, some for my meal), but once you're done, step away from the counter so other people can get to it. They'll probably call the number on your ticket pretty soon anyway, and then you can get excited because you're about to enjoy the tastiest Mexican food ever. Things I love: The grande burrito (spicy with chicken, you can order it mild too), The Taco Salad with Chicken, and the Fajita Quesadillas. Also, the best salsa they have (in my opinion) is called "Buena", for good reason. It looks like regular red salsa you can buy in a jar in the supermarket, but its only, oh, about a billion times better. Fresh ingredients really do make the difference, and I love cilantro, which they use liberally in Buena. (That said, even my dad, who loathes cilantro, loved Buena. So even if you think you won't like it, give it a try). Other salsa options include Mexicana (a chunkier red salsa), Verde (a green chile salsa), and a mango salsa whose name I've forgotten. If you drive here, parking is kind of at a premium, and I've found it easier just to park in Doughnut Inn's lot next door, behind La Salsa. That way, it'll be easier to pull out, and no one will hover behind you waiting to take your spot (one of my pet peeves). In closing, if you haven't been to La Salsa, go! You will not be disappointed, and if you are...hey, more salsa for me. read more

This is probably the most wonderful place to exist. Not only is it wonderful, but so consistent. One of the most consistent things in my life, probably. You can call and the order is ready in 5 minutes. What. A. Dream. Such kind staff, and a lively experience inside! Please go here. You won't regret it. The burritos are PERFECTION! Thank you senor salsa, ily. Xoxo. read more

This is my Friday night take out go-2 place. Everything is made fresh and onsite. Fish tacos, quesadillas, fajitas, and burritos are all delicious. If you can handle it try the "el champion". It is one massive burrito. TIP: salsa verde is AMA-zing! read more

Very easy review to write. I eat there at least once a month. It's very healthy food. However sometimes I get bored with the food because I've eaten there so much over time. The food never changes which in some ways is a good thing. The tables are kind of small but maybe that is because I am getting too big eating out so much (lol). The salsas are a meal in themselves and I just bypass the plastic cups and put the salsa directly on whatever I'm eating. Parking is a pain there, but it's worth the trouble. This place is one of my regulars. read more

"Can you please pass the salsa, Senor Salsa?" Decent inexpensive Mexican food. This place gets crowded often. Flavorful salsas. Everyone complains about the limited parking. But if you don't mind crossing Route 1, then park in the huge Office Max parking lot. That's what I did. read more

To me, Senor Salsa will always be La Salsa (the name of the establishment up until a few years ago). Growing up in Fairfield, I remember only really having two options when it came to quick but good Mexican fair - Tacos or What in Westport (RIP) and upstart La Salsa by the Fairfield circle McDonalds (Taco Loco in Bridgeport was always more of a sit-down spot to me). La (Senor) Salsa offered a great selection of tex-mex with the first salsa bar that my young eyes had ever seen. The food was fantastic to me with large portions, although my high-school wallet always thought they were a bit pricey. Nowadays, Senor Salsa is still solid. The food doesn't quite taste as good as I remember (either my palette has changed or the food has), but it's still more than passable. There are days when the taquitos are fantastic, crispy, and very flavorful and then there days when sometimes they come out a little soggy - more hit than miss, however. I wish the prices were a little lower, but those won't keep me away either. Still, greatly recommended. Just don't park at the McDonalds and walk - they'll tow you as fast as they can blink. read more

Been here a couple of times now. Food is always fresh. Burrito's are probably the best. Some of the dishes are just too small -- especially the taco based ones. A real positive is how fast they are. read more

My girlfriend, a Fairfield native, introduced me to this quick service Mexican joint. Holy hot damn. It is the fucking grail of mexican QSRs. Fresh, tasty, cheap, and if you order a combo platter you'll be plenty full by the time they add rice and beans and whatnot. For quick chicken and shrimp tacos and burritos I don't think you'd find a hotter spot. I think most of the beef items are either steak or shredded beef, if memory serves. If they served ground beef tacos it'd be a 5-star deal for me, which is tough to do as a low-end joint. read more

This is as close to the West Coast "fresh mex" burrito joints that I'm used to that you'll find in CT. The food is cheap, abundant and, most importantly, very tasty. The salsa bar is terrific. Some small negatives: parking is in short supply and it can be a little tough getting into the tight parking lot as people whizz by you on the Post Road. The hommade tortilla chips are generally good but I ate there just after they opened one day and the chips I got were clearly left over from the day before. The shrimp in the shrimp tacos were frozen not fresh (not that I expected them to be) and they weren't cooked through. Don't be discouraged though. This is a great place. Just go a couple hours after opening read more

Good burrito/nachos/quesadilla place in downtown Fairfield. Not unlike Chipolte and Qdoba. Went a little after noon after leaving the nearby DMV office. Line was a little long but the workers kept it moving. Had my burrito made and paid for within 10 minutes of stepping into the place. The parking lot is cramped and small. read more

Favorite Mexican place around. Super casual and super affordable, but a bit tight on space during peak hours. I've came here for two of my birthdays, yes it's that good. I always order the Cancun Shrimp burrito, it's great if you like seafood. read more

I have never had a bad experience here. The food is always good and the prices are reasonable. It isn't very big but the food makes it home well so I don't mind just picking it up. This is the only Mexican place in Fairfield I will even rate because it is so good. Don't miss out!! read more

A disgrace of a place is all I can say. Food isn't all that great to begin with not remotely close to being authentic and staff is so rude with attitudes they purposely over price. Spend your money elsewhere. read more

Baja style grilled mahi mahi tacos for the win! Delicious!!!!! Usually I need to get rice and beans too.They have a great salsa bar but they give you like 3 tortilla chips (really skimpy) with to-go orders. The to go salsa cups are also TINY so you have to fill up a lot. Parking can be challenging when busy, this place is usually jamming. Other than that, this is my go to quick taco place for lunch. read more
