    Baja BAJA CRISPY FISH BURRITO

    Ordered the fish burrito for takeout and it was not good. It was very dry with no sauce. There was no veggies either besides a couple of diced tomatoes that are barely visible....

    Chicken burrito with tator tots and beans and queso and sour cream and lettuce and cilantro and cheese and lime juice
    Patrick Z.

    Ive been here many times for lunch during work I just never reviewed it. Probably my fav fast casual burrito spot tbh just the option of having tator tots instead of rice is beautiful and makes the burrito that much more delicious. The salsa they put in is the perfect spice level, and the ingredients are distributed well. It's massive and so filling too!!!

    Carne Asada Short Rib Rice Bowl ($15.45)
    Lonnie K.

    This is a newer version of Chipotle but more colorful, has cooler vibes plus very spacious and contains more seating as the ambiance. There's no restroom for customers. Good, fast service from friendly staff. They accept cash and/or credit/debit card as forms of payment. Very huge portions. However, the price is probably double the amount of Chipotle imo. They do have two fish and one shrimp options as proteins at Summer Salt. I had the beef but not too impressed...maybe the fish and shrimp options would've tasted more flavorful. In fact, its tenderness of the beef tastes pretty similar....not a super wow factor but like just decently well since it's not too much of a huge difference from Chipotle. Additionally, I think Chipotle is actually close by from Summer Salt. Overall, it's an underwhelming experience with the short rib bowl. Taste wise is more on the overcooked & rubbery side + feels like it has lacked depth of flavor. The dish is like a missed opportunity especially compared to the tasty descriptions that I have read on the menu. For the hefty price, I would've expected a more satisfying and memorable meal. Sadly, this bowl falls short of the mark for me. Would I go by again next time? - Probably not anytime soon....I'll wait a while before stepping foot inside again

    Honestly feel like I got food poisoning (see my review)
    Karen C.

    I hate to say that I believe I got food poisoning from here. After doing some deductive reasoning plus feeling indigestion / feeling like my stomach wasn't "digesting" the food. (I had the Seared Adobo Fish bowl, and my cousin had the chicken bowl). (For context, I went to lunch here with my cousin. We got 2 different bowls. At night, we got pizza with the rest of our family. Later at night, only my cousin and I felt sick - so it wasn't the pizza that the rest of the family also had. For 3 days, my cousin and I had to go on a saltine and Pedialyte diet to reset our stomachs!) [FYI business manager immediately messaged me after seeing this asking how he can help, and he apologizes! Which is very nice of him. Admittedly, I don't think I would risk my own stomach to go back to get another bowl to see if it's better for me, but it's nice to see Management isn't gaslighting!]

    CARNE ASADA SHORT RIB BOWL w/ Tortilla on side
    Veronica L.

    Shoutout to Summer Salt for staying open past 8pm on a Saturday night! I did pickup at another place nearby, but they were sadly closed. Thankfully, Summer Salt was still open, and so I decided to try this spot for the first time! I placed a mobile order for their Carne Asada Short Rib Bowl for pickup at 8:30 and upon arrival, the employee prepped my bowl. I chose my bowl to be Mission Style, where the base is rice and beans. Like Chipotle, I was able to request a tortilla on the side, which was warmed and wrapped in a foil. I got the typical fixings - salsa, sour cream, cheese, onions, lettuce, and cilantro. Per usual, guac is extra. This place is basically like a Chipotle, except it's much cleaner, not as busy, and the service is quicker and friendlier. Would def be back to Summer Salt!

    The Flatiron area has lots of casual eateries so it can be difficult to narrow down on a place to stop by for lunch. At Summer Salt, the staff is nice, location is clean, and the portions are huge. It's also not typically very busy; I've never had to wait more than a few minutes to order. It's one of my favorite spots around this area -- far better than most casual Mexican eateries (so yes it's better than Ch*potle). I love that there are plenty of non-meat protein options, including tofu, crispy fish, seared fish, and shrimp. The ingredients all taste super fresh and the salsas and baja sauce pair really well. If ordering online you can pick from California style (fries as a base) or Mission Style (rice & beans), but in-store you can have any combination of bases/ingredients. They also have Jarritos which is the only drink you should be having with this type of meal! Solid spot to keep you happy & full, can def make two meals out of it as well.

    Thank you to the manager for reaching out to me and making this right by offering me a new meal. I tried the tacos and they were delicious. I'll definitely be back. Thanks again Danny!

    TOFU & CAULIFLOWER TINGA BURRITO and Frozen Margarita - Contains Alcohol
    Pri W.

    If you're looking for a fast casual spot (that serves margaritas!) this is the place to go. It's chipotle style service- you can built your own burrito/ bowl/ taco or select from their pre-set menu. They have 1 vegetarian option, which was a cauliflower tofu burrito (also comes in a taco/ bowl version). I was surprised at this combination, but the flavors came together! The tofu was more air fried and had a more chewy texture, but worked well. You can get your items mission style (rice and pinto beans) or California style (with fries). I also got the lime margarita and was a nice addition for a hot NYC day! Overall, I was pleasantly surprised and would try again if I'm in the area as an alternative to Chipotle.

    HOMEMADE CHIPS & GUAC
    Julia H.

    Super off brand for me, but I knew nothing about this spot when I ordered delivery. Didn't look it up on Yelp or anything! That being said, I had zero expectations. I ordered the pollo asado bowl and some chips and guac. It was very affordable for nyc, and really glad I ordered from here because it was delicious! It seems to be a fast casual spot? Either way, it got to me in midtown within 20 minutes! Chips are thick and very crunchy. Could have used a little salt, but honestly it was great with the guac. The guac itself was chunky and flavorful. I initially thought it was quite small but there's more in there than you would think. For my bowl, I got it Mission style, so with beans and rice instead of fries. It's definitely a fusion spot but I really loved how flavorful everything was. It was so flavorful that I actually felt like I needed to have some chips with the bowl to balance it out. But I can picture it being great with a margarita or the like.

    Crispy Fish Burrito with tater tots

    wow, I walked by this place for over five years... stopped in for the first time today wish I had started sooner how delicious and wonderful this place is I got a crispy fish burrito with tater tots inside.... Very, very yummy and very unique. It's a great Mexican place with all sorts of burritos and all sorts of tacos very fresh....

    BAJA CRISPY FISH BOWL
    Ayana A.

    Had the Baja Fish Bowl. It was okay but the fish needed a bit more flavor but the breading had a decent flavor. The fish was definitely crispy and they give you 3-4 pieces which is great. The flavor was alright though. Could have been more flavorful. The staff here were really fun especially as I kept asking about the fries being the in bowl.

    Frozen Margarita - Contains Alcohol BAJA CRISPY FISH BURRITO
    Letia C.

    Cool quick bite spot to get the best tasting burrito. Since it's summer time also a good spot to grab you a frozen Margarita to cool down (you can take them to go!). The Baja burrito cali style was delicious, their burritos are huge and super filling. The service was quick and the establishment was very clean.

    This place is so good! We were walking by and noticed chipotle first, which we agreed was a no. Then we saw summer salt; we were captivated and loved the tacos. My wife had the shrimp bowl and said it was de-lish! I like how the self-serve soda uses cane sugar. The employee who took my order was friendly even though it was 9 pm and she explained all the options. The music is nice, the decorations and flooring give off a mexican house vibe. Very cool place with great food

    I'll just say it: best tacos in the world. Completely subjective, I know -- but Los Tacos No. 1…read moremakes it hard to argue otherwise. The ingredients are fresh, simple, and clearly quality. Tortillas are made to order right in front of you, and the whole experience just feels authentic and joyful. I had the steak and pork tacos, my friend got chicken -- we went back for a second round. That says everything. A few tips for first-timers: -- Don't sleep on the quesadillas. Seriously. -- If you like crispy tortillas, order the tostada -- they deep fry it and the result is incredible. -- Get the Horchata. It's not overly sweet and pairs perfectly with the tacos. The staff is 10/10 friendly and efficient. Don't be intimidated by the line -- it moves fast. Case in point: on a rainy morning, there was already a line at 11:01 AM (the place opens at 11). People know what they're doing here. The atmosphere is relaxed. They have nice, authentic music playing at all times. Highly, highly recommend.

We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.
