“The food is very good! love this place.“

“This was our first time at this particular San Jose. Our waiter did not seem enthused to be working. He refilled my husband's iced tea but not my soda. I thought that was a little weird. The food on the other hand,well, mine was absolutely delicious. I got the two chicken burritos the cheese sauce on them. They were so good. The chicken was tender and moist. Flavoring was really good. My husband got the combination plate of taco and burrito. He said the taco was really good but as far as the burrito went not so good. It had the same hamburger meat as the taco. No beans, no cheese, no onions. Nothing nothing was in there but just hamburger which had very little flavoring. When we left you said he was not in a hurry to return, but I certainly am because mine was so good.“

“Didn't promise too much. Food was excellent. If anyone wants to rate it lower, please base it on more then one visit and let the waiter know what you didn't like so they can improve. Nothing was wrong with our food. It was delicious. Picked up my food. They are extremely nice!“

“Most Mexican restaurants have complimentary salsa and chips ... They have bean dip and chips and it's GREAT‼️💯💥💢“

“They take care of you. Your food is gonna be good. Burrito, taco, enchilada, or even a chimichanga; you can guarantee you'll enjoy it.
The rice and refried beans are good as well, so make sure you get em on the side.
The salsas are tasty as well. Try the spicy tomato tomatillo sauce.
Will definitely be back!“

“We’ve tried the tacos de lengua, de tripas, asada, and al pastor and they are so good! We love all the tacos. The consomé is also really tasty and simple. Still need to try other things on the menu, but we’re hooked. They always give you cilantro w onion, some limes, and two delicious but very spicy sauces. We like it too because we can let our toddler run around since there’s music and a tv making noise! It’s perfect. Very kid friendly. Rosie is our favorite cashier, so sweet and attentive.“

“Wonderful food and drink. Y’all should try it !❤️“

“My name is Cleveland Ivory. I've been eating at this taco truck ever since they first got established. I love the food, they give you A good amount of meat no matter what kind of entree your ordering. Awesome customer service and this is the best authentic Mexican food that I have ever eaten. When I was in the military I used to love eating Mexican food when I was in California and this is even better than some of the street food that I have eaten when I was in California. I recommend their food to anyone in the surrounding area as well as for those who may have to drive 30 minutes or an hour to get there. Trust me, it is worth the drive and the food is awesome.“

“The team at Salsarita's truly went above and beyond during our fundraiser, providing not only delicious food but also outstanding service that made our event a success. Their dedication and enthusiasm significantly enhanced the experience and helped us raise vital funds. The impact of this partnership extends far beyond a single event, contributing directly to our mission of family building. We are deeply appreciative of Salsarita’s staff and their commitment to making a positive impact in the community. Thank you for a memorable and impactful day!“
