Salsa 17

Left a 1 star review previously about a very rude interaction I had. Instead of management reaching out or fixing the attitude of the 2 employees who actively made fun of my friend and I from the second we walked in, the review was blocked. If a restaurant sees such problematic treatment of customers they should probably address the issue with their staff, not just have the review hidden…

There is NO better place in the NW suburbs for Mexican food and drinks! Many tequilas. Multiple, excellent margaritas. Fresh guacamole made table-side. Best we've ever had. Extensive menu of regular and home-specialty Mexican dishes. The only reason I gave it 4 stars instead of 5 is because it's SO good it gets crowded. The bar fills up and there's a wait list. We enjoy outdoor dining in their side area. Well worth the wait.

I've been there before but yesterday, Sunday, 4/14/24, the service was terrible. From the guy that took our name to the mad waitress. The guy took our name said 15-30 minutes. We cama back after 35 minutes and saw 3 empty front tables but no one called. When asked , he said we have to wait longer because he " doesn't have staff". When asked if we can just sit there ,he said no ........We were with our older mother....it was pathetic....the guy was very rude but seemed very overwhelmed....never seen a service like that.....here ...the waitress seemed mad, I asked for lemon for my water twice, then another waitress and nothing, had to go back inside and request 2 edges of lemon.....the waitress was terrible...she looked exhausted and rude

Must try the guacamole at the table, they prepare it in front of you, super fresh, chunky, and delicious. I put it on everything I eat there. They do not take reservations. I recommend you go to the website and sign up on the waitlist on your way there. I have never had an issue with the service, other than some hostesses have a little attitude, but nothing I can’t navigate or overlook. I have been coming to this place for 12 yrs now, and it has remained consistent over at least that long.

Excellent Mexican food in the Northwest suburbs. Great service and fantastic meal prep. Great experience all around.

A bit too loud

I never order mole at restaurants because more often than not I'm disappointed....not the case here. Super rico mole

The food was good but was there on a full house Saturday night. Table space was cramped with the person behind me bumping into the back of my chair.

Just moved here from Arizona and very impressed with this place. It’s obviously not highly authentic Mexican food, but it is highly authentic Tex-Mex. The atmosphere is extremely fun, two large parties had booked half the restaurant on a Tuesday night but we still were sat immediately. Great margaritas, not overly sweet. The steak was amazing and the chicken enchiladas were good. Table side guacamole was good. Service was great.
