Salsa Kitchen
Restaurant Review
Overall Rating: 5/5
What I Loved: I loved that they offered vegan options which were designed as main dishes, not merely side selections repurposed vegans. I loved that they even vegan specials featured on the menu.
The Vibe: I arrived for an early lunch, around 11:30 in the morning, and had the entire restaurant to myself. The décor was distinctly Mexican—charmingly vibrant and inviting. Since I was the sole patron at the time, it was difficult to fully gauge the usual atmosphere, but the setting was undeniably delightful.
What I Ate: I ordered both the vegan cheese burrito and the vegan Baja-style cauliflower soft tacos, initially anticipating modest portions. To my pleasant surprise, the servings were generous. I ended up saving the burrito for dinner, and it reheated beautifully. The vegan Baja-style cauliflower tacos were exceptional; the cauliflower was tempura-battered, rendering it perfectly crisp and never soggy. Each bite was a pleasure, and I was genuinely reluctant to finish the last morsel.
The Service: Service was prompt and courteous. My server was gracious and spoke excellent English, making the experience all the more comfortable for me.
Good to Know: Be aware—there is a sign at the entrance indicating that credit cards are not accepted. However, cash and scan payments are welcomed.
The Bottom Line: Salsa Kitchen is conveniently located next door to Angel oNail Studio, where I often get my manicure and pedicure. The next time I find myself in the area, I fully intend to return for another lunch at this charming establishment.
