I came around 930pm on a Saturday night. The place was pretty empty at that time. My friend and I ordered tacos and the chips and salsa. We were able to sit at one of the booths since they weren’t reserved til about 1030/11pm. Our server was sweet and attentive. The guys at the door were alright, but the security guys inside were too serious about standing around the “vip” section once it got later. Didn’t wait long for the food. The tacos were tasty and the chips had some good seasoning on them. Def would go back for the food lol. We decided to leave and check out some other bars, but came back to Salsera after midnight. The place was hella packed on both floors. You could barely move through the dance floor. People were dancing, but there was no way to avoid touching everyone around you. Music choice was 7/10 imo.

While the remodel is AMAZING!!! The service keeps getting worse, even more so now. We bought a table (bottle service) and waited an hour for the bottle to come out, mind you we wanted 2 bottles but the first one took forever leaving us minimal to no time for the second. We ordered shots in between and the servers kept getting confused brining a few at a time (another waist). We did get one of their new sections the layouts are amazing and cute. But the service is nothing compared to how it was back when the drinks would come out faster and the bottle shortly after the mixers. The photo shows the table solemnly with the mixers and drinks we had to go to the bar for due to the lack of customer service.

I was there last night bartender is rude. Doesn’t even acknowledge you doesn’t say hi or anything. She has a face that doesn’t even wanna be there. Also, those drinks are very expensive. I pay $17 for a ranch water Security guards are rude police only thing is the AC in the music

Let me be very clear — this is about the bartenders and the absolute lack of basic human decency they showed. I was there Friday night 05/30 with friends. They didn’t greet us, didn’t acknowledge a “hi” or “thank you,” and acted like making eye contact was somehow beneath them. No smile, no courtesy, nothing. Just blank stares and bad energy, like they were being forced to serve us against their will. If you’re going to work in hospitality, bare minimum effort includes acknowledging your guests — not treating them like an inconvenience for existing. If they hate their job that much, maybe they shouldn’t be behind a bar. I work food/bar industry as well, and I would NEVER treat my guests the way those girls do.

The bartender Caleigh took care of me, she was amazing and so kind. Paid attention to detail and was very quick to make my drinks! Would definitely come back for her

This place has the best potential. It could be so much more if it was cleaner. We sat on the balcony and it was terrible. It was slow to get anything. We waited 30 minutes for our drinks. Our table was sticky and so was the floor. My food was cold and had paper stuck to my bacon, it looked and tasted amazing but I wasn't really upset until I found the hair in my food! They compensated me the meal that I didn't finish.

Worst experience ever. Over priced drinks. $20 to get past the line, even with it being so packed it’s a fire code violation! Ran out of limes and shot glasses for 3 patron shots for $46? So a giant cup with no salt, and an orange when asked for lime? No toilet paper in the woman’s bathrooms. Floors littered with napkins, per my husband the man’s bathrooms are littered with cocaine. You want a drink at the bar? Not happening. You have to squeeze past people just to sign and tip on a stationary tablet? They just let people stay at the bar counter instead of making room for people to order then have the audacity to charge $19 for two beers? I will be reporting them to code enforcement with photo and video evidence, and to my bank for services NOT rendered. I also had an employee stack dirty cups into my current drink. As someone who frequents deep ellum for the last 12yrs, this was the WORST experience. Come here if you dare, but be warned you have to physically push people to order or to even use the restrooms (which will have no toilet paper or cocaine). This bar is one of the reasons deep ellum is no longer the place to be. Also be prepared to deal with second hand marijuana on the “smoking” balcony. TLDR: over priced, disgusting, not staffed well, clientele has much to be desired.

The bartender scams customers by not giving them a receipt and self tipping or over charging.

Great music and plenty of people dancing. I love coming to this place and am never disappointed with the music they place. Salsa, bachata, cumbias and corridos A WHOLE VIBE. Bar staff is friendly and they're quick with making the drinks. Would recommend the mangonada (but drink carefully, they'll creep up on you.)

Queso was so watery we could not even dip our chips in it. The flavor was non existent as well. The nachos and flautas were okay - we were able to finish them. The drinks tasted off. Either they were using the lowest of lows alcohol or their bartenders do not know how to make a cocktail. We tried their mango margarita and their Pink Matter. Both were terrible.

ROACHES!!!! Ordered a drink at the bar on Saturday and literally baby roaches were crawling at the bar!!! And my drink that i got many times before- loco coco- tasted like the coconut cream was rotten. It was so disgusting. I literally couldn't sleep comfortably thinking about possible roaches on me. This place is gross.

Great restaurant turn salsa/bachata bar! Come here after 3-5pm and you'll see the crowd really transform! We came here from the draw of the music stayed for the food and dancing! This place get wild after 8pm so look to getting a reservation! I ordered there cubano and elote which was more than enough for 2 people. The cubano was just got off the press and smothered with meats of beef and jabon! I would really get this if you're very hungry and looking to soak something up with your enjoyable margaritas! The elote is fresh and so buttery it meats in your mouth in an instant second! What really got us was the ambiance of the either place. Come with good friends and you'll find yourself a great time! The dancing is amazing and the vibe is great with great hostess and very cool bartenders. Don't let them line fool you at front as you can be at the bar and order food until 2am!

Had a large birthday party here on Saturday night to have some drinks, eat some food, and enjoy some live music and dancing. Let's say the signs were there that we had our hopes set too high for this place to achieve. This location was chosen because on their website it advertises live band playing Latin music to dance the night away. That was far from what we experienced. We walked in around 7 pm to an empty place and a DJ playing music from his laptop until 7:30 pm. (possibly doing a sound check). Afterward, it was some playlist, not from the DJ on repeat. Prior to showing up, the restaurant called to try to get a "deposit" for an already confirmed RSVP like entry fee "to be used as credit on the table." That is not an RSVP holding fee if it's a forced charge/credit for eating there. The drinks were good (That's the only reason this is a 2 Star vs. 1 Star review). The food was subpar and mostly felt like it was re-heated up (not made fresh onsite). So many things on the menu were unavailable, which limited our options to roughly 25% of the menu. Had we known there was no live band, we would've chosen another venue. Needless to say, taking all of these factors into consideration, we will not be returning.

Very disappointed with the way we were treated by the owner, Wilson. Last night my group and I purchased bottle service. I made my reservation through Instagram DM, the person handling the reservation sent me the menu and did NOT mention there was a minimum (which most places have one an mention it up front). Upon our arrival, the bouncer could not find our reservation, but this issue was resolved quickly by the manager lady- Diana, I think. She escorted us to our table and asked us which bottle we were going to choose. At 11pm we placed our order for a bottle of Tito's, paid, signed the check, and began our birthday celebration. The issue began when our kind waitress, Karen, came up to me at 1:30am informing me that I HAD to buy a second bottle because this was required... I communicated with her that I was not made aware this was a requirement while making the reservation or when we arrived and by 1:30am my guest are too intoxicated to consume an entire bottle in just 30 minutes, especially because they were also consuming from the bar!! She asked me to speak to the manager because she was only doing her job, I told the manager the same thing and her response was "you have to buy the bottle, but don't have to drink it"!? Now why would I spend $200+ more when you are giving this kind of service!? At that point I became frustrated and asked to speak to the owner. Wilson-the owner- was made aware of the miscommunication. His response "if you are not going to buy another bottle you need to leave!! I am here to make business not a charity" who says that to a repeating paying customer!? The saddest part of this was when I told him my guest where still consuming from the bar he asked his bouncers to escort my guest out the back door. I understand that misunderstandings happen, and I am not upset about that. But the owners judgment is very poor. Mr. Wilson, if you are reading this, know that you are in business because WE your customers keep you in business. DO BETTER!!!

Showed up a bit after my scheduled reservation but they couldn't find my reservation at all. The hostess had to call the manager and when the manager looked up reservations, my name was the first two show up. Hmm! They made it sound so exclusive, yet there was nobody even at the restaurant That should have been my first clue to run, but I gave them a chance. Waitress was on her third day and not ready to be on her own. I ordered a salad and none of the ingredients on the salad were on there, waitress says oh they weren't done yet sorry they brought it own to soon. Drinks had no alcohol. Was celebrating my Birthday weekend, made a big mistake by choosing this place. Oh and u may have to drink a margarita froM a plastic party cup if they run out of glasses.

The food here in terrible, but they play good music and have pretty good drinks. It's great for a fun night with friends. Unfortunately you should get dinner reservations so you can be inside before the long line out front forms.

I thoroughly enjoyed my visit to Cafe Salsera for their Thursday taco night! They have a salsa class and taco night with drink specials that is so fun. They have a cute balcony with lawn chair style seating and string lights, and the downstairs is a fun bar with lit up palm trees, a big dance floor with booths around it for salsa night! The party kicks off around 10pm but come early for salsa class and tacos $10 starting at 8:30!

I saw a lot of not-so-great reviews on this place after making plans with some friends to visit. But, after visiting, I can assure its worth a visit. We reserved a table and had bottle service. The ambience is very lively and the vibe is fantastic. We arrived around 10pm, with the original intention to order food, as the kitchen closes at 11pm. We ended up skipping food, so I can't review anything regarding that. The DJ also started at 10pm and the music was fantastic. I had never done bottle service anywhere before, but it was impressive. Each bottle is brought out and celebrated and the waitresses offer shots straight from the bottle upon immediately getting it. The waitresses were constantly walking around and helped us with anything we needed. The dance floor is small and got pretty crowded by the end of the night, so if you are looking for something intimate with a date, I wouldn't recommend it. But, for a group of friends looking to party, this place should be on the list. I even saw the owner walking around and helping out. Everyone is so friendly, even the girls in the bathroom around 1:30 am (haha). If visiting Dallas and looking for a night out in Deep Ellum, I would 100% give this place a shot!

The Mangonada with Tajín and chamoy is delicious. DJ starts playing music around 10PM and the kitchen even stays open until close! (2AM) I love the Latin flare this place brings to Deep Ellum, definitely a staple to the block!

We came here the other night for Salsa and thought it was a great find. Pros: + No cover + Decent salsa music + Great music variety - I do love that they toss in a few Cons: - Overpriced drinks - Not much of a dancing crowd when we stopped by - Difficulty parking

Buyer beware. We ordered through Caviar. First, they didn't have the item I ordered. No big deal, I'll get something else. I ordered the Wagyu Steak Fajitas, my wife, the chicken Fajitas. We also ordered Churros and chips and queso. Seriously...what we got was no chips and queso, foam containers of mixed crap, 2 small cardboard boxes of vomit, and some brown logs in a sea of spunk. Pictures attached. The steak is apparently Wagyu. Really? Looks like shreds of a rubber tire to me. No way this is Wagyu. What a bunch of con artists. Could have gotten a better meal (with everything actually included and not mixed into some kind of Mexican smoothie) for $15 and change at the local Taco Bueno. Hell...even Taco Bell would have taken more care with their food presentation. What a bunch of kaka. UPDATE 1: the Churros are stale and were likely cooked in 2008. They cake them in tons of sugar and cinnamon to cover up the fact that they aren't very good. Seriously, this place is a joke. UPDATE 2: Since I received the comment below, and I don't know how to respond in comment form, I am updating. While I will concede that Caviar owns some of the blame for the state that the food arrived in, so does the restaurant. Rather than shoving all of the condiments into a cardboard box, individual containers could be used. The beans could have been in some kind of container also, rather than in with the rest of the fajitas. Basically, as a rule, I think everything with a liquid component should probably be in its own container. Additionally, Caviar bears no blame for the following: 1. Ordered Chips and Queso and didn't receive them. 2. Ordered a stew on the menu and the restaurant was out. 3. Ordered Wagyu steak fajitas...was NOT Wagyu! 4. Crappy Churros Thanks for the apology and attempting to make it right, but with as many dining options as Dallas has, I seriously doubt we will give your restaurant another try.

If you're looking for authentic food from Yucatán you have to try Cafe Salsera. I had their panuchos aka Tacos Yucatecos and they were delicious and as close to the real thing as possible. Make sure you go on a Friday night and stay for dancing too!!

We came here on a Sat night since my friend said they had good Latin food. But since he last visited, they have a new chef and menu now which is mostly Mexican. We still gave it shot since we were already there. The first strike was the weak frozen margaritas. The second strike was the 45 minute wait to get our food after we ordered. Third strike was the food. Chips & salsa - A-Okay. We ate four servings of them since we got so hungry waiting for our food to arrive. Sour cream enchiladas - The rice and black beans were 4-stars, but I'd give the actual enchiladas 2-stars. The chicken was dark meat and cut into little chunks (I much prefer shredded white meat). The sauce wasn't creamy enough and it needed some cheese on top. Mole enchiladas - Same chicken issue and the mole sauce had an odd peanut buttery taste. 2-stars. Tres Leches cake - Where's the leches? I swear it was just a dry piece of pink strawberry-flavored cake. We couldn't see or taste any leches. 1-star. Although the service was very slow, the manager (I think) did check in on us a couple time to ask how everything was - we lied and said fine. Hate to say it but we had two Mexican's in our group and we all agreed that we won't eat here again.

Bad service, from the beginning, at the table has to be reserved after 10 pm, if somebody request your table, you have to move to a different place, no good

It was a pretty mediocre tex mex restaurant. Nothing to write home about. I ordered the shrimp cocktail and my gf ordered the tacos el pastor. I give both a 3/5. The cocktails were a bit weak and watered down. The life of Pablo is baically a mule-type of drink and their Caipirinha had too much sugar in it. Their chips and salsa were fantastic though and were both served warm!!! Yummy! I hear the salsa dancing that goes on though is pretty exciting and will have to check that out one of these days.

Stopped in for a coffee on their 2nd floor patio, and it didn't disappoint. Tastes just the same as I had in Cuba! I'll be stopping here more regularly for sure.

Came here around 10:30 to buy some drinks and dance. This is a pretty small space. When we came it wasn't packed ,but there was no seating. All the tables where either occupied by people or they were reserved. Service here was alright. When we finally found a place to sit not a single serve bothered to check up on us, or ask us if we needed to order anything even though they walked past us and made contacts with us several times. We finally go up to order drinks at the bar. The girl here who took our order was very friendly. To drink I ordered a cranberry with vodka. I usually like my drinks to be a bit strong, but this one tasted like straight up vodka. The had a ton of other drinks that looked really good, but by the time I was done with m y first drink The line at the bar was way too long so I didn't get to try any of them. The one thing I did really like about this place is the music. Out of all the places I went to this was the only one that had latin music. They played Salsa, bachata, merengue, and reggeton. I guess everyone else likes that too because by the time we left which was a bit after 11 it was pretty packed. We tried to come back in later ,but they was a line and we where told that they have like this new RSVP system where you give them your phone number and they send you message telling you when to get in line. It seemed like too much of a hassle so we just left. Overall this place is ok. If you want to get a table I recommend getting here early or reserving one. If you want to dance to latin music and drink I would personally recommend going to Medusa instead.

So I'm here right now at this place. At first I was going to give it 4 stars for the music and service. The food as just ok. We come here because USAV Open Nationals is in Dallas this year but our players party was too packed. My grind and her fiancée had seen this place walking by the night before so we decided to come in tonight. They have a main floor, a loft, and an upstairs outdoor area. We go the loft area because people just left. The waitress told us she would clean up the tables and we could sit there. After everything was cleared away, we didn't see her for a while so we sent her fiancée for drinks. The waitress came back to take our order so we requested food. Kitchen is open until 2AM! We started dancing and having fun while we waited for our food. Suddenly the loft area gets packed and someone tells my friend's fiancée that they ordered bottle service for that area and we had to move. WHAT?!!! Waitress comes back all apologetic that she didn't know about the bottle service group, that her manager just told her, and we had to move. She said there were plenty of tables upstairs. What she forgot to mention was that upstairs was OUTDOORS. It's friggin HOT in Dallas. We said no but luckily for her, a table opened up downstairs so we begrudgingly moved. In the waitress' defense, she was the ONLY server. When she brought the food, the ceviche shrimp cup tipped over all over the table. Poor girl was having a bad night. We had to ask her to clean up the table and that we needed napkins. Poor girl was swamped! She apologized again for everything and admitted the way things happened was rude. I actually felt bad for her. We went to the ladies room and it was GROSS. OMG! The manager should have come over and apologized but did no such thing. The food was decent, ambiance was great, and the music was AWESOME. Too bad I'll never return to this place nor will I recommend it.

But over all I would return!

First time coming, had reservations for a table. Ordered drinks and food, which took almost 2 hrs to arrive. Basic frozen food, watered down drinks and pretty bad service. Once our food finally came out, we were handed our food and told that we had to leave the table because the following group had already arrived that also made reservations for the same table? We had no choice but to get up because as soon as we tried to tell them we barely got any of the stuff we ordered nearly 2 hrs ago, they already had security on us. Never again.

This place is a damn joke The prices on drinks vary by the damn bartender one bartender charged me 9 dollars for a lemon drop that wasn't filled up (black bartender... stingy as fuck) The Hispanic bartender charged me 8 for the same shot and filled it more and when I asked how much a shot cost and I explained that someone charge me more he gave me the attitude of I don't care Yeah next time I just stick to my usual spot Throphy room I even had a damn guy steal my shot cause I asked the bartender for a mangonada frozen and he gave me a liquid piece of crap Worst place ever

It must have been the second day Salsera was open, that I stopped in. The interior is very well done. I really love the upstairs patio, and I will have to check that out another night. The inside also features a raised stage, where bands can play, with a really pretty backdrop! The seating is really nice as well. I dug the booths for two, because sometimes you just prefer a booth seat! The waitstaff is very pleasant - and high tech! All your orders are entered into a phone, as opposed to pad and paper. The menu is not very large, but I expect it will grow as their business does. I ordered the Albóndigas with Diablo Sauce, which looked pretty appetizing. The band started up, and it was really entertaining. So much so, that I almost forgot that it took quite a while for our food to come out. Finally, though, it came out. Points for nice presentation...my meatballs were arranged attractively together and topped with the sauce, which was topped with fresh cilantro. The yucca fries were stacked neatly next to that, and there was a small dish with the jicama/carrot salad. The Diablo Sauce was not as spicy as I was expecting it to be. If you want SUPER spicy sauce, this is not going to be for you. However, it was pretty damn tasty. The meatballs have rice in them, too, FYI. Super yum! The yucca fries were nice and crispy on the outside and soft on the inside. The only things I would change about my meal would be to put some seasoning on the yucca fries, and to pickle the carrot and jicama a little longer so they would be easier to eat. Otherwise, great meal! I will be back. I love the ambiance and the concept of this place, and I would love to catch a salsa DJ or band here sometime!

In a city with a million MX restaurants, it's great to see another Latin cuisine arrive. -The empanadas we had were the larger size, picadillo and chorizo and they were delicious. The dough was soft even after being fried, which is rare to see but great. -The mac n cheese with chorizo was my favorite, well done, rich in flavor but still light and not as heavy as I imagined it might be. The salad they brought with it was great. The place looks great inside and I'll definitely be back soon to try more!

I understand this place is new, but I've come here twice already and experienced the slowest service ever. Food, drinks, whatever. You'll be turning your head wondering where your server went. Empty drinks on the table. Been here an hour and haven't even ordered food yet. Not enough workers maybe? No manager in sight. Grand opening week and this place should be on Restaurant Impossible. The waitress Juliana is so nice though. She knows the right way to handle situations. I mean we had a table over 15 people twiddling our fingers sipping empty drinks of ice with no food on the table for over an hour and there should have been more people helping out. I give this two stars because I have tried the food and it's unique and delicious. The atmosphere and music are also wonderful and fun. This place has GOT to get it together if they want to survive the Deep Ellum vibe.

Bartenders don't know how to make the most basic drinks. It's such a small area, and then they tables on top of that. Overall a pretty boring "club."

Go anywhere but here if you're looking for a bar in deep ellum, you won't get in unless you pay to skip the line or unless you're friends with the bouncers. A pretty classist establishment. They'll tell you they're not letting people in anymore but if any of their buddies show up they let them in. Honestly they deserve one star but the music is good so they get points for that

Realmente una muy mala experiencia en este local, por favor no vayan, el día de ayer asistí con mi esposa , llegamos al rededor de las 9 de la noche y nos sentamos en una mesa en la que no existía ningún letrero de "reservado" consumimos en el Local y después de haber ordenado un balde cervezas, llega la supuesta "manager" a decir que dejemos la mesa porque alguien más pagó por ella y que las bebidas las tengo que poner en el suelo... le digo de la manera más respetuosa que si quieren que nos vallamos de ahí no hay ningún problema pero que nos devuelvan el dinero del balde de cervezas que recién habíamos ordenado (ya que no lo habíamos tocado) y me dicen que no para después sacarme a empujones haciendo ellos de la situación un total espectáculo! En resumen muy mala atención, meseras totalmente arrogantes sin intención de atender al cliente! Para aclarar a quien lea esto, no se trata sobre el dinero, se trata sobre la muy mala atención, espero obtener una respuesta de la gerencia

Food was ok. Subpar for the prices. The real tragedy was the "VIP" service offered. As we were dancing, they moved our belongings to make more room for another group, cutting off the space for our party that we paid for. Beyond that, the amount of people they allow in is mind-boggling. No one is checking maximum capacity, and the place becomes dangerously crowded while the manager shows no concern for the safety of his patrons.

I want to like salsera, but the food is just bad, and overpriced. The staff are nice enough, but do yourself a favor and walk to one of the many better options in deep ellum. The arugula salad was ok, but the mozzarella doesn't make any sense. Something like manchego would be a much better choice with the other ingredients. The tamarind short rib. I don't know what to say. I don't think I've ever sent food back at any restaurant. But the short rib here was just terrible. The flavor was overwhelmingly sweet and bitter, and the meat had a hard layer of fat on top that clearly hadn't been cooked long enough to do anything to break down the chewy mess. It was so bad I just couldn't bring myself to eat more than one chewy, gross bite. It was so bad I didn't even want to risk trying anything else. The waitress asked how it was, and I apologized for complaining, but said it was horrible. I showed her the thick hard layer of fat, and she said "oh, I've never tried that, so I don't know". To their credit, I received 50% off the cost of the entree I ate less than one bite of without asking to be compensated. Meaning I had to pay $10 for the worst bite of my life. Like I said, I wanted to like salsera. But it's just bad.

We went during their soft opening for lunch and everything was completely underwhelming. They have these dumplings things as an appetizer. It tasted like a ball of random proteins and breading of some sort. It was overly fried and dried out. Avoid. I was with a party of 4, and 2 minutes after ordering, 2 sandwiches came out while the rest of our food didn't. This set off an alarm in my head because either it was food that was sitting out or food that was meant for a different table. The sandwiches were cold, as were the fries. When our actual food came out (after 20 minutes, which is a bit absurd for a place that had only 3 other tables filled), it was pretty flavorless and underwhelming. Service was also spotty with a lot of the staff standing around just chatting amongst each other when there was plenty of things that needed to be done.

Will not ever order from here again. I had chips and salsa, queso, and guacamole as well as the chicken tacos. The portion size for the chips and dips were incredible small. Nothing like what was pictured on Uber eats. The salsa was extremely hot. Not able to eat. The queso was good but the guacamole was absolute trash. Had no flavor. When it comes to the tacos, they were super greasy, had no flavor (didn't even taste chicken), and there were no limes with them. I also asked for extra chips and there were no extra. If there were the amount they give is ridiculously small. Again I will never eat from this establishment again. If I could I would give 0 stars but y'all don't allow that. Absolutely a waste of money.

We came here for lunch because we saw there $10 taco platter special. We ordered two taco platters and they brought us two fajita platters. I specifically asked if this was the taco platter and they told us yes. We weren't offered chips and salsa until after we ordered our food either. When we asked for the check they charged us for two fajita platters. When we brought it up to the waitress she did fix the problem an apologized. The food was alright, but the service was horrible.

Ehhh service sucked..hostess and waitresses were all pretty stuck up and snooty. Came here for dinner and everything was pretty bland, nothing stood out definitely won't be back if you're looking for good Mexican just head down the street a few more feet and go to Fuzzy's tacos, better service, better food and they actually enjoy having customers.

Came here as we were bar hopping one night. Good flautas! We ended up ordering two orders of it!! Awesome staff and service! No problems with the drink and we opted for shots during our short stay there.

Horrible service and management. We ordered the nachos only to find pieces of glass in our nachos. My friend cut her mouth. We asked to speak to the manager and he kicked us out. My friend had to go to the ER where they confirmed that she indeed did shallow glass.

This place is amazing. It has a great environment, great seating, great outdoor seating and food. Huge screen to watch the games as well. Definitely worth a drive for a delicious meal and coffee. Highly recommend it.
