Hearty portions of Mexican mainstays & brews keep diners coming back to this no-frills spot.
"With locations in Noho and Lake Balboa, Salsa & Beer is one of the more popular birthday restaurants in The Valley. The massive Mexican-American menu has something for even the pickiest eater in your group, there’s a free chips, salsa, and bean dip bar, and if your birthday happens to fall on a weekday, you can still show up knowing the place will be full-tilt thanks to some very strong margaritas. They don’t accept reservations—usually a birthday dinner no-no—but both locations are legitimate labyrinths, so even if you roll up six people deep, you’re waiting no more than 15 minutes for a table." - brant cox
"This massive restaurant in North Hollywood is packed pretty much every night of the week—and it’s not difficult to see why. The solid menu is filled with dishes ranging from sizzling fajitas to carnitas tortas, there’s a long list of Mexican beer and margaritas, and those unlimited chips, salsa, and bean dip are always free. But most importantly, Salsa & Beer manages to give off a lively, neighborhood energy that makes a meal here feel more like a block party than dinner." - brant cox, garrett snyder, arden shore

But most importantly, Salsa & Beer has managed to keep that rowdy, neighborhood restaurant energy that makes it so hard to leave at the end of the night." - brant cox, sylvio martins, nikko duren, garrett snyder
"Valley devotees know some of LA’s best burritos are hiding over the hill, like the ones at Salsa & Beer in North Hollywood. The salsa-smothered burritos are big enough to share and are best paired with a house margarita." - Rebecca Roland, Eater Staff
