“Highly highly recommend. Been going to Lindsey for years, my lashes survived, roller coasters, water parks, dirt track races, tubing on the lake, and now my newest adventure airboat rides and alligators. 🤪🤪🤪”

“Friendly server, very attentive. The place was very nicely decorated and clean. PLENTY of food for absolutely reasonable prices. And being from California, I'd say this is the most authentic Mexican food I've had since moving to New York. My only slight complaint on this visit was that while the Margaritas are huge, mine tasted to be very heavy on the margarita mix and not so much on the tequila. My wife said hers was fine so maybe it was just a one time/one off incident. We will definitely be eating there again so they will have plenty of opportunity to rectify this.”

“Take out I got the shits 2xs I ate enchiladas beans and rice on Valentines day I ate some and I ate the rest the 15th. Both nights and this morning I have the shits thanks. My stomach hurts it's flopping I'm not happy. I get this same meal every year for my wedding anniversary and this year the taste was off . Now I know why. I'm very disappointed 😞”

“We just moved here and stumbled upon Salsa's. Wow! The food was amazing. The portions were huge....and there was a great vegetarian section (which has been hard to find here). Everyone was so nice. It gave off a family vibe. Then we got the bill and were shocked at just how little the meal cost. We will definitely be back.”

“Best Taco Bell in the area! Corning has a Taco Bell, but they are consistently out of product and get orders wrong. I travel the extra distance to get Taco Bell in Horseheads because they ALWAYS get the order right, and the staff is friendly. Worth the 20 minute drive!”

The grand prize includes two game tickets, hotel accommodations, flight vouchers, and a $300 Visa gift card. A hundred runner-up winners each receive a $25 El Pollo Loco gift card.
