Salsitas Grill

What can I say about this place, nothing less than phenomenal!!! Let's start from the beginning, the place shows a bit of casual dining experience with some touches of Mexican influences, not too much nor too little. Seating for 2 adults and 3 kids under 10 seems a little tight for the booth which is where we were seated. It was very clean and also the ambiance was laid back with a lot of spices filling the air. Now let's get to the appetizers, they come out with a lovely glass bottle of cold water and two glasses for the adults. The chips and salsa that came out were completely out of this world! Oh the simple taste of fresh salsa was so mesmerizing and relaxing to eat. I know it sounds a little crazy, but my word it was tasty. It was too good I asked for another small bowl of the salsa, my 4 year old daughter and I tore it up! We also ordered the white queso, that of which came out on a small cast iron pan with a small garnish on top. That was also delicious, just not as good as the salsa, don't judge me. We order the kids chicken quesadillas that came with Mexican rice, our oldest ordered the Tilapia with shrimp that came with Mexican rice. I ordered the Salsita Enchiladas, my wife ordered the Birria Quesadilla. She also ordered the Sex on the Beach and another beverage that had hibiscus and liquor in it. Ok, let's talk about the taste of the dishes since I just told you about what was ordered. The kids food looked very appealing and they loved it, every bit of it. the oldest one's food came out smelling wonderful. The tilapia was cooked perfectly with a light brown/golden crust to it, the shrimp was grilled to a nice texture. Yo know not too hard not too soft. He loved every bite of that as well. I had a small bite of his fish and let me tell you that it was seasoned very well. The wife's meal looked like the picture and tasted even better than it looked. Her vegetables came out very fresh looking, not the kind that looks pre packaged. The quesadillas tasted astoundingly home cooked, you know that taste of machined foods vs home cooked meals? The cheese tasted of premium quality and so dod the carne asada that was inside. You can usually tell the cheese by how smooth it is, the grittier the cheese then cheaper it is, remember that. Then my meal was 3 ways of deliciousness. Each enchilada had a different meat inside. One was chicken, another steak and the last one was carnitas. The black beans that came with my meal tasted so freak and so damn flavorful, I mainly ate the refried beans because they were so damn good! The whole meal was nothing short of amazing, this is in my rotation now. Oh and the service was one the best I've had as well.

Salsitas Grill is a great for taco Tuesday an an other day you want great tacos. The ambiance is friendly an inviting an cozy. An the service was promt and on point . I enjoy my self every visit.

I had the Steak Quesadilla with the corn tortilla! It literally looked just like the pics and was very delicious. The salsa verde and the cilantro sauce (addt'l) was the perfect touch. The side of rice was a little bland. But the quesadilla survived delivery and wasn't soggy. I'd definitely give it another go round.

I would absolutely suggest trying this place. It's a hidden jewel in La Plata. I went on a Friday a little after they opened up. I found the decor to be cute and the restaurant was very clean. Our waitress was extremely nice. She answered all of our questions and explained what each entry included. Since they had just opened up, it was empty and nice and quiet. The food was so fresh and you could tell it was made to order. I was very impressed. I thought the prices were decent as well. I will be back.

Ambiance and Location:Salsitas is located in the same plaza where Giant is and Bollywood Masala (right across from Lowe's in La plata). That should already give you an idea on the ample parking. We've been wanting to stop by for a while but decided to eat there today, and boy oh boy!Food: Birria Tacos and Birria Quesadilla were both super yummy and rich. I recommend ordering one non Birria item so that you can break your the richness. The rice and fried beans were the highlight of our meals because we didn't have any expectations , our main focus was the Tacos and quesadilla. The rice and fried beans are delicious! I mean everything no truly was on point taste wise. My hubby also ordered the speedy Gonzales and again, super yummy although the beef in this was just okay I would have it again with a different meat choice. Service:We stopped in on a Sunday around 1pm or 2pm so they weren't packed but it was a cute ambiance. I loved the bachata playing on the background and their cute hollower decor. We were greeted upon arriving and guided to our table by a great waiter. Their free chips and salsa was fresh and so so good!We will def stop by again! Give it a try and tell me what you think!

I've seen this spot while shopping at a local grocery store so while out with my daughter we decided to check it out. It a restaurant with the typical decor not fancy more like the tables and booths you would see at a fast food restaurant. The waitress was extremely attentive and the host was nice as well. We didn't have to wait long to get our food. My daughter had the salmon tacos which she loved and I had my typical fajita whenever I go to a Mexican restaurant. I enjoyed the fajita. We also had the cheese dip with chorizo delish. All the food came out hot ( temp). The whole meal was about 50 bucks plus tip for two people. Hey you can't beat that in the dmv. Pretty nice place for a quick delicious meal.

For Charles County this is a 5/5 place. It's 4/5 in the DMV (DC/MD/VA area) However, the prices reflect that, IMO, so my liberal rating is a CC focused rating. Besides, it's a relatively newer establishment and that is also factored into my rating.The 2 of us ordered tacos and shared them, mixing them. The tacos were good and the Margaritas passable. The bartending skills need sharpening and if the margaritas are pre-mixed, they need a different/better pre-mix. There are outdoor tables but it was a tad to windy for us. It was plenty sunny on the patio and a couple that came in after us sat outdoors. Our waiter was pleasant and efficient.This is now our "go-to" Tex-Mex place since it's nearby. I hope they do well and continue to improve the alcohol drink offering. I love an excellent "Rita" cause it's something I don't like making at home.

Made my first visit Wednesday Night. Had the Shrimp Diablo. It was fresh and tasty, but about a 5/10 for heat. If you like spice ask for a little something extra. The rice was the surprise in this dish, the spices and aromas build as you work your way through the dish. The queso Appetizer was the best queso i've had, definitely try that while you study the menu. These three dishes, beverages, and the queso dip cost $78.00. For the freshness and variety worth the cost, but I can't spend my coins there every week.

Food and service was great. I would definitely recommend. Restaurant was clean and atmosphere was good.

The food is decent, this is not a restaurant I would go out of my way to experience, however I would come back if in the area. Service was good, I was seated right away, asked to sit outside and was obliged. I didn't have to wait long for my food to arrive, my waiter was very attentive and checked on me enough but not obnoxiously.Parking lot is shared as this restaurant is in a shopping center but there is always ample parking.Interior, ample seating and they also have bar and outdoors seating. The bar is a little tight and shaped weird, but overall I was comfortable. I ended up coming inside once the wind picked up. Speedy Gonzales: one chicken taco, one chicken enchilada, with rice and black beans . This meal was good, the chicken was a bit dry but I would order again. It still had a good flavor profile. Mango margarita: this was nice and strong, next time I'll order it with top shelf instead of house liquor. Chips and salsa: chips were fresh and the salsa had a good flavor profile, my only complaint is I wanted more lol I would definitely come back if I'm the area, I would like to check out the nachos next.
