Baby Salsa Mexican Restaurant is a welcoming place that offers fresh and delicious Mexican cuisine. The restaurant has a knowledgeable staff who can suggest gluten-free, vegetarian, and vegan options, including a dedicated menu section for vegan and vegetarian dishes. It is wheelchair accessible, though it may require a short walk from the nearest ramp.
The menu features popular Mexican dishes such as the flavorful and spicy Diablo and ocho brazos tacos, along with the large and fresh chicken taco salad. The horchata is creamy and non-gritty, making it a must-try for fans of this traditional Mexican drink. Customers have praised the restaurant’s refried beans, burritos, and enchiladas, as well as the wide selection of Jarritos. Recent reviews highlight the Paseo Pastor, Paseo shredded beef, and Vego tacos as all delicious, with the Paseo shredded beef taco being especially popular. The vegetarian cheese-based burrito is highly recommended. Customers have found the food to be non-greasy and satisfying, with a friendly environment and attentive staff.
Many reviewers also mention that the vegan chorizo enchiladas and chille Rellenos are outstanding, and the Santa Fe Burrito is so good that one customer said it was the best burrito they ever had. The nachos, queso, and chips are also favorites. The restaurant’s in-house vegan chorizo and the flavor-packed beans add to the appeal. Though the atmosphere is a bit worn with some paint and furniture needing updates, the overall experience is positive. The restaurant is located in a small plaza with ample parking, making it a convenient choice for those seeking authentic and flavorful Mexican food.
