Editorial Review for Salsalito's Cantina – by Greg Melikov
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 tortilla. Beef and chicken enchiladas are popular, but the seafood version filled with cheese, topped with shrimp, crawfish and sliced avocado in a white wine cream sauce is heavenly. The fajita combo of chicken and beef is fine except the latter was slightly tough. The flan is addictive.

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

This place has it all. The salsa, tortillas, enchiladas, and best of all, they get their smoked chicked from New Braunfels Smokehouse, then they cover it in a butter caper cream sauce.. Oh my God. The taco salad is also pretty good. It all depends on your tastes, they have something for everybody.
Pros: the food is all good
Cons: gets crowded at the good times, but that's how you know it is good
