Salsarita’s Fresh Cantina

Burritos, tacos, bowls, tortilla-​bowl salads. Price average about $ 7.00 per average entrée’ (guacamole is gratis, unlike Chipotle, but is scant, too.). If you’d really like sautéed peppers and onions, add another $ 1.25-ish.
A few items set these guys apart from Chipotle:
Fresh sliced jalapeños and fresh chopped cilantro, as welll as «Taco Bell-​style ground beef.»
To that I say, «Yay!» I could create a «Taco Bell Taco supreme,» at a better quality! (Can’t do that at Chipotle.)
Many items are comparable to Chipotle, so you should still have a similar experience. These guys may go a bit lighter on the seasonings (salt), which is actually a BIG plus. Also, they have Romaine lettuce for a salad base. Just ask. (For Taco Bell fans, they also have shredded iceberg lettuce).
They offer bottles of Cholula hot sauce and a green hot sauce (can’t recall which one).
Oh! And if you like «Moe’s» you’ll like their chips and queso.
Over-​all, this place is a nice blend of features of various fast food joints. I’d go back.

There were two, giggly, little girls «working» in the kitchen, preparing food, and filling orders.
One of them was cooking, what looked like, seventy pieces of chicken on the grill. When I asked the young lady, who filled my order, what they were doing on the grill, she said, «burning stuff.»
I asked, «what kinda stuff?/»
She said that it was supposed to be chicken, but at this point, she wasn’t sure what it was. LOL.
I’ve got to give her points for having a sense of humor.
I ordered a steak quesadilla, and sheesh…
I should have known that karma was against me when I went to sit outside, and the wind blew my entire drink over onto my quesadilla. I should have cut my losses right then and there. ;o)
I put raw jalapenos on the steak quesadilla, and my esophagus went on strike at my first bite, as in it wouldn’t permit the food to enter my stomach. I’ve only had this raw jalapeño esophageal jalapeño shot block, happen one other time, maybe thirty-​five years ago. In a situation just like this, what goes down, must come up, so my $ 9.93 order got thrown in the trashcan. {sigh}
It has been a long time since I ate at Salsarita’s and after today, it has still been a long time.
PS: This location needs to bring back the staff of Latino ladies who knew how to prepare great Hispanic food. Those ladies weren’t playing around.

When they say «Fresh Cantina» they actually mean it. This isn’t your everyday greasy, mushy, overly processed Mexican food. Its fast, friendly serivce and everything is made to order in front of your eyes. You control whats put on your food, and how much of it. If you’re timid towards spice, you don’t have to worry. Almost everything on the menu is very mild unless you make it otherwise yourself.
They have some decent daily deals, and kids eat free on Monday’s.
If you’re in the area, and you want something light but satisfying, I highly suggest you stop in at Salsarita’s. The pulled pork taco salad is amazing!
