This was a great experience, I'm very happy we came here. Very reasonably priced, the guy serving us had exceptional service, attitude, etc. Maybe the only downside is minimal seating, but I think it's fine. We were the first customers and he gave us free chips, salsas, and guac! Other than that we got street Tacos and crispy Tacos with birria, shredded chicken, and El pastor, all good! And the churro was a good size. Come here!

Our third time here! They have a clearly listed vegan menu. I got the flautas and enjoyed them a great deal. My partner got the impressive Chimichanga. The salsas are listed with their spiciness, helpful! Service is friendly.

Great vegan options for a non vegan place. My vegan tacos and vegan horchata were good. The avocado salsa barely tasted of avocado though... My husband got a fish taco and al pastor and said they were good, but not great. Hence the 3 star for food. Service was great and as for the Ambiance, well, you're standing in a parking lot 😆. I would recommend it for vegans or mixed diet groups, for sure!

It was my first time back in Santa Cruz in YEARS and I decided to hit up what I thought was one of my favorite places... only to be extremely disappointed. I remember the asada being so marinated and DELICIOUS, with a bunch of flavor. Now it seems like it doesnt even have salt. Could've just been a freak thing, but man the lack of flavor in the meat was terrible. Everyone that works there is still really cool and super nice. Atmosphere hasn't seemed to change, but the quality of the food did. Bummer.

I would give this place 5 stars if I could!! They have a fully vegan menu and the options are delicious. I go here all the time :))The price are pretty decent because the servings are huge. Food comes out pretty fast, no sit down, service is great. I usually get the vegan cali burrito and add beyond meat! Delicious

It's adequate. Food's decent, service is good, atmosphere doesn't exist. I come here to eat, not to enjoy a meal.

My family loves stopping by Salsa's before we go to the beach. We always find great people, super delicious food, and amazing service! I recommend the chicken tostada, baja fish taco, shrimp taco(amazing sauce) ?, and the street tacos. I have yet to try more on the menu or else I would have most likely listed more items. Never disappointed when I come here!
Parking: The parking lot is small but the visit is still worth it!
