Only had take out so can't speak to service and ambiance. The tofu & cauliflower tings burrito was GREAT! I added queso, salsa, and did it with rice and beans. read more

Dropped by on a Friday evening a couple weeks ago for a quick takeout order. Walking into the store, there's casual seating for about 20 at two-top tables along the immediate left side and single bar-height seating at a bar along the right front window. The right back is where to get in line to order and pay. Like most burrito, salad or bowl places you go down the assembly line selecting the items to compose your meal. They serve burritos, tacos, bowls with a handful of sides and drinks; the distinction separating them from a few other popular burrito chains is in addition to chicken, beef and a vegetarian (cauliflower & tofu) option, they have a few seafood choices--crispy fish, adobo fish, and adobo shrimp. I was interested in trying the crispy fish or adobo shrimp, and the staff member kindly informed me that they could make either of those options to order, it'd just take a few minutes. Due to timing I decided to go with the adobo fish, which was already prepared. Sending appreciation to the staff member who made me a well stuffed burrito. The fish was tender and other veggies were fresh, I thought the fish could've used a tad more flavor though was also glad it wasn't too salty. Can't say it was the best burrito I've ever had though I'd be willing to drop by again and try something else if I was in the area. read more

Summer Salt is not great but it's not bad either, hence the 3 stars. I had the carne asada bowl over tater tots. If I had to order it again, I'd get it over the rice & beans as the tater tots tasted as if they were out for quite some time. The marinated short rib was quite tasty as were the works, & the hot sauces weren't bad either. I would visit this place again but definitely order it over the rice & beans instead of the tater tots (which is saying something as I love French fries + its variations)! read more

The tofu cauliflower bowl was pretty good. Tofu was good compared to other chains. Unfortunately they don't have as many toppings as other places like this. Food was fresh and tasted good. I especially like how they put cheese under the protein so it actually melts. Service was good as well. read more

food is very good here. excellent location if you're around midtown. staff was tremendous and service is quick and efficient.

Sure, they have lots of yummy options to munch on, but I really come here for their crispy fish tacos, which are the best in the city. Hands down. Drop the mic. The service at this location is fantastic: helpful and insightful. read more

I am a sucker for Cali Burrito, so when I'm craving one and I find one of these spots nearby, I'm there. They used to put french fries in the burrito, but it looks like now they use tater tots instead to differentiate from the other shops that also do Cali Burritos. My go to is the Baja Burrito with Carne Asada, mission style. read more

I've been curious about this place for awhile, so stopped by here with some friends for lunch. It's a very casual spot, where the food is displayed and you order at the counter. There is a decent amount of seating. I went with Adobo Fish Taco and Steak Taco. The Adobo Fish Taco was topped with lettuce, tomato, and savory, slightly spicy orange sauce. This was pretty tasty, as the Fish was perfectly cooked, well seasoned, tender, and juicy. I was not a fan of the Steak Taco at all, which came with pico de gallo and the same sauce. The Steak was tough, dry and not flavorful. I definitely would not return. read more

The photo doesn't look like much, but this fish was awesome! I love fried fish and when I saw the Baja style fish on their menu, it peaked my interest. This was my first time ordering from here. I like how Summer Salt has both classic and Baja style entrees on their menu. Sometimes you want traditional but other times you just want a California style taco or bowl. I went with the Baja Fish Bowl which came with fried fish over a choice of tater tots or rice and beans, Baja sauce and cheese and salsa (side note- isn't it cute they do tater tots? I don't know any other places that do tater tot bowls.) I simplified my bowl so I didn't do all the fixings but I did try the Baja sauce and it was quite good. The fish was really nicely battered and had a great crunch even when I ate it a few hours later. For the price, I thought the serving was quite fair too. I would definitely order again. read more

Summer Salt - BAJA CRISPY FISH BOWL - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Found this place through class pass. Used some of my credits for lunch. Cute little spot. Food wasn't bad. Giving chipotle vibes. Ordered a pan seared adobo shrimp burrito. Came with a choice of yellow rice or tater tot's as a base. Got the rice. Beans. Shrimp. Liked that they had cabbage instead of lettuce. Pico. Some cute sauces. Burrito was a decent size. Filling. And didn't taste bad. But something was off about it. Wasn't sure if the shrimp were over cooked. Or the seasoning on them wasn't that great. But something was off. Didn't hate it. Staff was kind. Place was clean. Not mad at it at all. May come by one more time to try the fish and see what that is giving. read more

Summer Salt - CARNE ASADA SHORT RIB BOWL - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Came here to pick up a couple of tacos before heading home from work. I was starved so I ordered remotely for pick up. When I got there,Gerardo and Armando, the people working the counter were super friendly. I saw that they have frozen paloma and margarita machines. I decided to have a paloma whe I waited for my food. I love grapefruit and it was awesome with just the right amount of alcohol for a quick sip. The tacos were good. I'm glad I was able to eat them in the car. They were a bit messy, though. There was a lot of liquid coming out while I was trying to eat and drive so I probably should have eaten while parked. I didn't mind, though, because they were very tasty. I'm bummed that my office moved locations. Summer Salt has some other locations so I'll have to keep a look out for one when in the city. read more

Heard great things about Summer Salt so we ordered via GrubHub. Delivery was sooooo quick; might be the fastest I ever got. We both got burritos California style (with fries), chicken, and then the preset options which you can't change on GrubHub. It came with pico de gallo, sour cream, salsa, cheese, and probably one or two more ingredients I am forgetting. I wish that I could have chosen to add lettuce into my burrito. That was not an option on GrubHub. Maybe it is in store. By the time we tried our burritos, the fried got a little stale. They still tasted good but could be our fault for waiting a while to try them. Overall, I like the creativity and option of having fries in your burrito or bowl. I would try the crispy fish taco next time, but probably just in store so that I could customize which ingredients I want and how much of them I want. read more

I came here on a Monday so there wasn't a long line. Since it's close to where I work, I decided to go here along with the fact that I've never been here before. Once you walk in, there's a menu that you can look over, which is on the wall. Just pick a protein and decide if you want it in a bowl or a burrito. Which reminds me of Chipotle, which has the same options except that they have salad. They have different types of proteins to choose from and pick the toppings. I got the chicken one and picked things that I wanted with it. All in all, taste wise. It was good. I asked for spicy sauce, and that definitely wasn't spicy at all. I drenched it with the sauce that's out on the table you can dine at inside. Maybe that's what made it beyond average. read more

Go here instead of the Chipotle across the street. Totally worth it. It was 24° and this really hit the spot. Very satisfying and the price I paid was $14.70 for this giant burrito. One could say it's a little more on the expensive side, but due to their location + availability of product like avocados, I think it's fair. Can look at the price difference between what you'd normally pay and this price as their tip and to support them. The fact that there are so few Yelp reviews (less than 10) at the time of typing this to me means that people don't really use Yelp much here. So with that being said, for making it to the end of this review, the restroom code is 9416 as of January 03, 2022. I cannot confirm if they change the code frequently or monthly etc, but you read this review and I doubt someone that shouldn't be using their restroom would be reading this Yelp review. read more

I ran into this place on my way to Chipotle. It's directly across the street. We love some friendly competition :) I had their chicken burrito as well as their chips & salsa. Overall, I was pretty impressed. They have very fresh ingredients and their chicken, in my opinion, is way better than the chicken you would get at Chipotle. Highly recommend. read more

Summer Salt - Chicken burrito. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Tired of Chipotle? Come here. Like Chipotle they give you an option to build bowls, tacos or burritos - but UNLIKE Chipotle they have some selections you'll want in your burrito asap. For instance, fried fish - it's amazing. Feel like adding tater tots to that burrito? Have it California style and BAM! Done. They have frozen margartia machines, nice seating, good service - it's everything you want for a quick meal that's not fast food. Their food is fresh, the flavors are simple, the servings are large and it's all about the ingredients. Highly suggest! read more

We were looking for a quick, filling dinner without a lot of fuss after checking into our hotel. Luckily we found Summer Salt nearby. I had two tacos and my husband had a burrito. We split a side of chips and guacamole. My favorite item was the chips and gauc. Summer Salt offers a wide selection of drinks, both with and without alcohol. Overall, if you're looking for something quick and healthy...ish then give Summer Salt a try. read more

Got the carne asada bowl with half rice n beans and half tater tots and it was decent. The meat itself felt a little overcooked--hard and dry. I liked the idea of having tater tots in my bowl though, made the bowl more fun than usual. The pico looked a little not vibrant, but taste wise was fine. read more

Updating my review and giving one more star after coming back a second time. This time I went for a bowl instead of the burrito. I asked for them to go light on the rice and that made all the difference. The food is flavorful and now that I could taste the adobo fish, it is pretty good. It is firm and has a little spicy kick afterwards. Staff is efficient and friendly. I suggest you ask them to add lime and squeeze it on for you. It brightens up the meal. read more

Summer Salt - PAN SEARED ADOBO FISH BURRITO - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Super friendly people working and nice, clean space but I would say the food is so-so. Quite ironic that I think the food here is comparable to Chipotle and they happen to be right opposite one. The Adobo Fish Burrito was huge, as it should be. I liked that they toasted the tortilla. Fresh veggies and ingredients were stuffed into the burrito; it's a wonder to me how they manage to roll it together. There was a lot of things in the burrito and thought none of them went super well to gether. Rice and beans were on the blander side while the guac was overwhelmingly sour. Not bad, but really wasn't memorable. read more

Summer Salt - PAN SEARED ADOBO FISH BURRITO - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I recently discovered their California styled burritos and I can't get enough of it!!! I mean, French fries stuffed in burritos just brought carbs on carbs to a whole new level. I've tried the carne asada and pollo asada burritos on separate days. Both times my burritos were packed with food (portions were extremely generous) for the price of them (varied between $10-12 each). Additionally, the service was good too as they were very friendly, quick and attentive to what I asked. The restaurant itself is also clean and organized. HIGHLY RECOMMEND for your next lunch and dinner meals!!! read more

Summer Salt - CARNE ASADA BURRITO California Style - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I don't know why I've been struggling so much to find good Mexican in the city. It seems I'm an outlier in this, but something tasted off in the burrito. Maybe it was the salsa or the meat flavoring, but I couldn't finish it. The chips were okay -- definitely on the thicker side which some people like. The guacamole was good but it came in such a tiny little container. I personally don't think I would order from here again. read more

We went for lunch today and it was a great spot to pick up food to eat at Bryant park. We had the fried fish tacos, grilled fish, carne asada, the cauliflower taco, and the pollo asada tacos. Everything had great flavor and the fried fish was HUGE! I would definitely eat here again and we are very picky with Mexican food after living in Southern California. I didn't try the guacamole or the rice and beans but the tacos and tortillas were solid. We had one carne asada taco that was supposed to be a chicken one, but it really wasn't an issue. Our daughter was satisfied with the carne asada taco as well! read more

My friends and I were looking for a good lunch spot today during our work break, and we stumbled upon this place right by our office. I got the carne asada burrito (california style, so it came with fries in it) and a churro. The burrito was huge, but I ate it all because it was delicious. The churro was also really good and very soft on the inside. I didn't think I'd like the food here as much I did, and so did all of my friends. I'd definitely come back here to try their other burritos. read more

Summer Salt - CARNE ASADA BURRITO (California style) - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

The food was excellent. An easy, quick bite for lunch kind of place. Perfect for what we were looking for. And ironically, just across the street from competing Chipotle. Do yourself a favor and go here instead. Big portions, great taste, had coke in a bottle from Mexico and a few beer options. One negative: they played "Ulala" by Mike Towers and Daddy Yankee on repeat the entire time we dined in. It probably took us 15 minutes (5 cycles of this 3 minute one-hit wonder) to figure it out. So, do yourself another favor: take it to go unless you REALLY like that song. read more

I think the oil was bad because the corn tortillas and fish were not tasty. Lime wedges were sad (discolored not very juicy). Disappointing.

The pollo asado california burrito here was amazing! It's custom made at the counter - stuffed with crispy fries, flavorful chicken, cheese, lettuce, sour cream, pico de gallo, and salsa. The burrito is huge, and wrapped together nicely without falling apart. Prices are very reasonable. They're located a block away from bryant park - a perfect spot for lunch or a picnic. read more

I stumbled across @summersaltnyc randomly while searching for fish tacos and burritos nearby. I had never heard of this spot nor seen any reviews about. When you walk in, it's nothing fancy or special and looks like a chipotle in a rather busy midtown part of town. What I ordered: - Baja Crispy Fish Burrito - Churro For starters, this burrito was massive and stuffed to the brim. I wasn't sure what to expect since burritos and tacos have been subpar for the most part in NYC with the exception of a few places. However, after the first bite, I was BLOWN AWAY! The fish had a beautiful crisp, and the rice, beans, and tomatoes popped with every bite. The entire burrito was just a perfect creation of an incredibly tasty crispy fish burrito! I topped it all off with a churro and this was honestly so good! I was stuffed, but forced myself to eat the churro because it was warm, soft, and chewy. I couldn't stop taking bite after bite with the perfectly coated cinnamon sugar and crisp! Overall, this is a great spot to visit in the city if you're looking for amazing fried fish tacos or burritos as well as churros. This needs to be a place you visit! You will not be disappointed and this might even be a spot in your rotation of foods! For more amazing eats, click the follow button and share this post! Rating: 8.7/10 read more

I got take out from here. The server was quite nice and the place was pretty empty in the middle of the afternoon. They have mission style and California style burritos. I got a mission style burrito with chicken. He filled it pretty well unlike Chipotle most of the time now. Also got a side of chips and guac and some rice and beans. The rice and beans are a great deal. It was only $4.15 and he put cheese on top and it was basically a mini meal. The margarita was okay, a bit salty for my taste. read more

Food was yummy and the employees were all really nice. We ordered the carne asada tacos and the seared adobo shrimp bowl.

Really enjoyed my first takeout order from Summer Salt. The chips are delicious and crispy, with a smooth guacamole that had all the flavors. The fries were shoestring and salty, so good. I had a Tofu & Cauliflower tingas rice and bean style bowl. The combination of tofu and cauliflower made for a super hearty vegetarian dinner. The spice level built with each bite. The tongas sauces was AMAZING. I cannot wait to order again from here! The location was super clean and my online order was done on time. read more

I ordered the fish burrito w/ guac for ~$16 It was super filling -- one of the few things i havent been able to finish in a while This is attributable to the fact that the staff were pretty generous with the helpings. It was admittedly a reasonably impressive amount of crispy fish All in all, being pretty full for $16 in nyc is noteworthy in itself. Potentially worth visiting for a lunch meal if you're in the working area -- def not a 'take a subway for this meal' kind of place read more
