Editorial Review for Salsalitos Mexican Restaurant – by Paul Gannon
The Scene
Clean, with shiny tile floors and tablecloths, Salsalitos isn't the type of place most locals would go to for a Tex-Mex fix. But the menu offers dishes like enchiladas served with various sauces, chili relleno stuffed with smoked chicken and flautas. The bar is the place to wait for your table when it gets crowded.
The Food
The Botana is a popular dish to share with others as an appetizer or for one person to have as an entree. It comes with chicken quesadillas, nachos topped with either chicken or beef fajitas, flautas, guacamole and queso. Order a margarita, frozen or on the rocks, or try a michelada, a popular border-town drink made with beer, Tabasco sauce, Worcestershire sauce and lime juice.

I waiting about 10 mins for my table, and from there the service was very good. The food came out steaming HOT HOT HOT, and drinks were always filled. Our waitress was GREAT!
Pros: Nice part of San Antonio.
Cons: Could have more seats while waiting for a table.

There are not many smiliar restaurants located near Salsalito and that is probably why so many people go there to eat when they are craving mexican food! For those that do not like the "tomato paste" salsa, be brave and try one of the many other salsas such as green, roasted, or warm- they are less "pureed." And for those of you that are judging the food off of the enchiladas.. remember that they are simply beed or chz rolled up in a tortilla with meat sauce. nothing too special about that. why not try something more original like the house specialty- fajitas, or maybe one the huge chimichangas! When it comes to margaritas, you are getting what you pay for. $5 might get you a cheap house margarita made with cheap cordoniz tequila but spring for a top shelf for the extra 2 dollars! let's not be too critical of Salsalito. It is my favorite restaurant.. I go there regularly and the staff even knows my name and treats me like a friend. I suggest the pollo cilantro or the salsalito camerones (bacon wrapped shrimp) And if these bad reviews are scaring you away from this place, try it for yourself. I'm pretty sure 98% of the customers are return customers, Also, you can get anything from the menu togo including the monday night fajita special!
Pros: great food and happy house specials
Cons: can't make reservations on busy nights
