“Went there on a Sunday around 2:30p with a larger party of about 25 people. We were in large private room. The food was good, also reasonably priced. The service was just very slow during that time, It took over 30 mins to get drinks and over an hour to get our orders.“

“I've been twice in a week and I don't believe I've never been before this. Spinach wrap burrito with steak and chicken is so good. I want to try the salad next time. Also try the Blenheim hot Gingle Ale in the bottle. My manager recommended it and it is fabulous. Don't have a bottle opener? No worries if it's your first time they'll give you one! Don't be intimidated by the line at lunchtime it moves fast and Johnny is definitely worth it!“

“Tipsy Burro has really good Tex-Mex food, but it is not a place to stop for quick bite to eat.First, the complaints about service: We visited Tipsy Burro on a Friday night at around 5pm because we had a 6pm appointment less than a mile away. Seems like a reasonable ask, to order food and eat within about an hour. But it was not to be, as we had to rush our way out of Tipsy Burro. Our 12 year-old ordered an appetizer and meal at the same time. The appetizer arrived in good time. After 10 minutes, my wife and I ordered our meals. But I did I have to go up to the bar to request a waiter after about 10 minutes because no one came to check on us. My wife and kid's platters arrived at the same time (a decent time after our appetizer arrived). My meal still took another 10 minutes to arrive after that (basically, my kid was done eating before my food arrived). The staff apologized for the delay in my food, which I appreciated, but I only ordered a salad, so I didn't understand the hold up. We asked for the bill when food arrived, and we did receive it in timely fashion. Unfortunately, my wife had to flag down someone on the staff to pay our bill because after several minutes, no one came to check on us. She literally stood in the middle of the dining floor trying to get someone's attention for several minutes before someone took her credit card. This might not have been a major issue for us if we didn't have something scheduled up the road. But we did and we tried to make it clear and it didn't seem to matter.All that being said, let's get to second: the praise about the food! Holy moly is this place tasty. Our 12 year-old is a very slow eater. But their rice & bean tacos were so tasty that they finished eating before my food arrived. We have never seen that before. Technically our kid ordered a guacamole taco, but there was no guacamole on it. We didn't get charged extra, so no harm, no foul. I ordered a spinach salad and I chose the soy crumbles as the protein. The salad was wonderful! Spinach was fresh. Orange slices were peeled perfectly with no pith or bitterness. The bacon pieces were a great surprise, as they were unexpected by me and also cooked ideally (not too crispy). The avocado ranch dressing I got on the side was really tasty and wonderful for dipping crumbles into. I cannot say enough good things about this salad! My wife loved her meal as well, although I can't remember what she got because I was so focused on my delicious plate in front of me. I know she had something with refried beans while our kid's tacos came with black beans. Both of them were happy with their bean choices.As far as atmosphere is considered, the restaurant and bar are decorated pretty kitschy. Such an eclectic collection of posters and antique signage and Simpsons toys. All three of us couldn't stop looking at all the unique sights. One of our favorite things was watching the TV at the bar - they were playing old 1970's episodes of the Gong Show. The only downside was what was on our table - a lack of napkins (which were eventually delivered to us as a roll of paper towels, but only after us asking) and silverware (which were disappointedly delivered as plasticware when our food arrived).The food was amazing and felt authentic and we will be back to this place, even with our challenging service experience. That's how good the meal was.Vegetarian options: They didn't seem to have a kid's menu, but our 12 year-old pescatarian found plenty on the menu to choose from.Parking: The parking lot is huge and is only for Tipsy Burro - you shouldn't have any issues parking.Kid-friendliness: They didn't seem to have a kid's menu, but our 12 year-old pescatarian found plenty on the menu to choose from.“

“We really used to love coming here. A year or so ago they changed the recipe on the quesadilla, which removed the shredded chicken and replaced with a wet seasoned chicken. Others may like the change, but we did not. Started to go less often, but would order the fajita meal, which is great. Recently we ordered the tacos. My wife ordered chicken and I ordered steak and chicken. The chicken tacos had the same wet seasoned chicken used in the quesadillas; we were not impressed. Will continue to come back, but only when we are up for a tasty fajita meal.“

In addition, my waiter was extremely kind and outgoing. I don't know his name, but he appeared to have black hair that was blonde in areas and pulled back in a hair tie. Super nice guy. Great experience and will definitely be back!“

Covid has changed life drastically. But this restraunt makes you forget it's going on! So thanks for letting us just have a lovely night out!“

“Every time I order my food is ready before I get there which means I'm not waiting on my food and I'm less than 5 minutes away. Today I decided to try the nachos. Everything was fresh. 2-3 people can eat off of this. It was delicious. The customer service is always good.“

“My 6th time here. I always order a seafood dish. Everytime it is fresh tasting, prepared perfectly, and great to the last bite. The Octopus is always extremely tender. I prefer the raw dishes, Ceviches or the Aguas dishes. This is a true test to high quality. It's hard to hide poor quality with this type of orders. This is the best Mexican Seafood I have ever had. I grew up in San Diego too. and many trips to Mexico on the Pacific coast. The best kept secret of the Carolinas.“

“Beautiful restaurant designed like a Mexican villa. Went for lunch and the food was served unbelievably fast. The three amigos appetizer which has fresh tortilla chips, guacamole, salsa, and queso was good. The guac could use some salt, and the queso is very thin, but like any other cheese thickened as it cooled. The Tacos and quesadilla were good as well. I had the "Gaylord Focker" which taste like the chef went foraging for the ingredients then put them right on the tortilla. The "Lookin good Louis" taco was good as well. My Wife had the "You're my boy blue" quesadilla and she liked it as well. Her only complaint was she thought it was a little dry and lacked the banana peppers it said was in it.“

“Ah-freakn-Maze-Balls. Devin served us right. She was so engaging. The food was absolutely phenomenal. I low-key was worried cause it was gringo city. I just knew the good would be basic Texmex. But ahhhh, it had seasoning. You hear me they used seasoning. The rice which is a basic boring side dish was so flavorful and infused with a sultry smokey flavor. The beans were bomb too. I was flabbergasted. The meat was moist, tender, smoked and piled high. We got a Pollo Quesadilla, Barbacoa Taco, and Steak Fajitas. Can we say bomb! The salsa is good too it has a nice smokey flavor. They even press their own tortillas. Lastly, the Tres Leche is delicious. It was swimming in a oceanic luxury of sweeten milk.You have to try it before Tia in the kitchen goes MIA. Cause, baby, those plates were plating.“

The restaurant wasn't too busy and by the time I finished taking pictures, he was handing my bag to me. Will have to try an entrée in the future.“

“I’ve been patronizing this Salsarita’s since 2006, but never again. I door dashed from them and I live at least 15-20 minutes away, but it’s the closest salsarita’s that delivers. They brought me the wrong drink. I called them (at 8:29 pm Jan. 4, 2023)and this young, rude, attitudinal, girl answered the phone and told me it wasn’t her fault and that door dash ppl fix the drinks and she hung up one me. I called right back and she answered. I asked her to please don’t be rude and don’t hang up on me and to please be professional. Again, she said it was the door dash person, not them. I called the door dasher and he said he was sorry and that he didn’t fix my drink and said the cashier handed him my drink, so I was hearing two different things. I called the door dash office and I was toldDoor dashers don’t fix the drinks. So whoever you have working the register and answering the phones in 1/4/24 at 8:29 pm, please train them in customer service. Do better!!“
