The Scene – The south-of-the-border decor is colorful. In addition to the main dining room, there are several semi-private areas and a back room available for private functions. Some patrons dine at the quaint, full-service bar. The busy restaurant has two waiting rooms, including one for takeout. Service is excellent. – – The Food – Crispy chips and hot salsa are brought pronto. A tasty appetizer for three is queso marisco, a dozen small sauteed shrimp floating in meltingly soft Monterey jack cheese with a ranchero sauce that can be eaten with or without a flour…

over pricet non mexican food
by soyla at Citysearch
over priced non mexican food . the enchiladas were dry as they were made 2 weeks ago, the chips were burned and salsa was good but salty and watery.
the sitting dough was quick.
the food was very very very bad. carne quisada had a very big lump burned dry meat in it.
i will never return again to that place.
i visited salsalitos to take my son that just returned from iraq so he can have a taste of real mexican food but what a very big mistake i made i rather take him to taco cabana they have better food.
- Pros: thumbs down
- Cons: thumbs down

Favorite mexican place (after Pappasito's)

Quick seating, hot hostesses, light crispy chips, wam smokey salsa, very kid friendly, gets noisy, great (although overpriced queso) excellent (and consistent) beef fajita meat, above average charro beans, fresh pico/guac, fantastic bar drinks, oh..and you can add bacon wrapped grilled shrimp, which are served with a cilantro sauce that you will want to drink. Wait staff (lots of hotties!) very attentive and on top of it. Actually very reasonably priced. Even when my folks come to visit from Florida, they always plan a trip to Sausalito. The next best thing to Pappasito's, but half the price, and rarely a wait (except on Fri-Sat nights).
- Pros: Fajitas, chips/salsa, very fresh, great wait staff, 20+ visits, no complaints.
- Cons: Lack of decent appetizers (minor complaint)

great mexican food & decent happy hour!!!!!

This is a great restaurant for family gatherings or date nights....the food is great! Wait staff are pleasant and helpful. I recommend the grilled chicken in Cilantro cream sauce: OH MY GOSH! There's something about that sauce, it tastes great...oh and I almost forgot to mention the chips and salsa...the salsa is wonderful and compares to home made salsa...GREAT JOB! I have been waiting for a restaurant like this in San Antonio--we should be known for our great Mexican food and I feel Salsalito's does just that...now if I could only get a location around LaCantera!
- Pros: GREAT FOOD, GREAT ATMOSPHERE
- Cons: locations on far NW & far NE
