Been waiting and waiting to try Salsa Guy Cafe. The day finally arrived and it did not disappoint. I am a huge fan of a local establishment. Especially one where the workers and owner interacts with the guests. Exactly what we got when we settled into the bar seating. Oh, and the food. Good stuff. The fried chips were amazing. No complaints. Definitely will be back.

We just ordered a group order of 15+ burritos for bright and early Monday morning. Not only did they nail the quality, but were more than accommodating to our requests and special restrictions! Safe to say salsa guy, is one of the coolest spots in town 😎

Difficult to get into with full size vehicle. Maybe 6 places to park. Very limited seating. Food was good but a little expensive.

Best brisket sandwhich I've had in CR by far. Staff was super nice and the place was quiet which was amazing for lunch time.

Tried the pastrami sandwich. As you can tell by the picture this stuff is shoe leather. Thin and rubbery. Not at all what you would expect from a place that cooks their own. Definetly need a little teasing on the cut. Quit expensive for the quality. 20.00 for the sandwich alone.

Best sandwich I've ever had! They've nailed Alfalfa's dill spread and the sandwich was just as I remembered it to be. Delicious and delightful!

This place had quite a few great reviews on local facebook pages so was excited to try the famous alfalfa experience cold sandwich. They sure did pile on the dill spread! It was tasty, maybe a little extra salty for my liking. I also had the fresh potato chips which were good as well - best piping hot. My husband had the prime brisket burrito- smothered. It was decent. I thought the meat was too salty (maybe I’m having an off day with salt?) and refried beans overpowered it a little and no real spice to it so a grilled jalapeño might be an option for them sometime (also not sure what all their options were to add some spices). Their space is on the smaller size but very nice inside and since they are moving to a larger space soon I’m sure it will be good for them to add more seating for their customers. The service was excellent as the staff were super friendly and engaging. The owner is nice and is a good conversationalist.

This is the DoorDash driver you were upset with for being late. I’m giving you 5 stars because I appreciate how you care about your business, and your customers. Even though I personally had nothing to do with the order being delivered long beyond when it should have been, I did tell your customer that it was 100% on DoorDash and ME. Your food smelled great, I’ll have to try it sometime.
Fry bread brisket was excellent!

Very limited seating, but don't let that stop you. The Alfalfa's Experience is very good. Service is super fast, the staff is super friendly. Extra clean all around, which is always good.
Can't wait for the new location to open!

I had heard about this place on a FB group with good reviews. So I figured I would check it out. I drove there as they do not take online or phone orders. I ordered the conquistador burger with a side of homemade fried chips. Oh, everything is alacarte. I also got some of their homemade salsa and chips. the burger is big, no, ginormous, huge, crazy big. But it was fantastic. Very filling, super yummy. Highly recommend the burger. The fried chips were very good so I recommend them as well. The chips are excellent. The tequila lime salsa was good but does have some pretty good spice to it. The place is pretty small but decent. The cashier was nice, great up seller. It seemed pretty chaotic when I 1st went in and everyone seemed to be outta joint but the food came out pretty quick, was well cooked and worth the trip. Definitely check it out if you haven't already. They have a smaller menu but seem to be well thought out. Try it. I stopped her on a Tuesday about 415 and ordered their burger of the month, the 4B burger. It was super yummy with great taste, lots of different flavors harmoniously playing upon each other with great texture. The chips were still very good. Highly recommend this place as it is excellent food with seemingly fresh ingredients. The food was well prepared and came relatively quick.
