Salas Urban Cantina

Gave this place a 3 as it was really just ok. Food wasn't bad but service was a little bit iffy. We came here for lunch yesterday and we're seated right away. We were served chips and salsa fairly quick but then our waitress who was pleasant became MIA- chip dish empty and she was nowhere to be found. Food came out and we were able to re-up on the chips but the fact that she was no where to be found prior to left me with an average of 3 for the restaurant. I'd come here again- but there are better Mexican restaurants in the area.

Well, we were looking for good Mexican food. We were told by someone that this place has great food with unlimited chips with salsa and queso. Well, unfortunately, the experience wasn't what we were hoping for.After being seated, our server brought chips with salsa and queso, and took our drink order. The chips were fine. I couldn't find anything wrong with them. The salsa was also just okay. Unfortunately, the queso was a big disappointment. The color was kind of off, it was watery, and tasted like it was microwaved. I commented to my coworker that microwaved Velveeta cheese tasted better, and that's not saying much.As I was with my coworker, we shared a couple of appetizers. I ordered the guacamole dip and also the brisket taquitos. I love, love, love avocados and guacamole. I think it's just about the perfect food. But, here's the big "but," the guacamole here was disappointingly tasteless. I never leave any guacamole behind, but we left more than half of it behind. The brisket taquitos appetizer was the only thing that we ordered, that was phenomenal. I should have just ordered another one for my meal. It comes with an avocado mixed with tomatoes and beans (not very tasty), queso (different than what came with the chips and was very tasty), and another sauce that was actually good. My coworker and I both agreed that this was the best item that we ordered.I ordered the Shrimp Veracruz with flour tortillas and cheese on the side. I was hoping that it would be at least as good as the brisket taquitos. Unfortunately, my plate was covered with cheese on top and not put on the side like I requested. I had to push all of the cheese to the side of my plate. The shrimp was prepared fine and seasoned well, but the rest of the plate was just blah. At this point, disappointment set in and stayed. I just ate the shrimp, dipped the tortillas into the queso that came with the brisket taquitos. Everything else on my plate was pretty much uneaten.If I had to rate the service and the brisket taquitos, then Salas would have scored a 4 at least. Unfortunately, the other items that we ordered, brought the score down. Maybe it was an off day for the kitchen. I hope it was, because this place showed a lot of promise when we first walked in.

Love the bar area and restaurant atmosphere. The staff is always accommodating and so sweet. Great place for big parties too. Their salmon is my favorite. Funny for a Mexican restaurant to have such good salmon but it's a must try.

The dishes haven't changed in a long time, I would consider this a more classic American- Mexican restaurant more than Tex Mex. Lunch prices avail during Mon-Fri helps make things more affordable. Service was outstanding. Hard workers. Nice newer building and bar looks great. We had chips salsa and pseudo queso served once we sat down. Id rather they improve the queso and charge for it. This place is special for our family - as we have tradition of eating here for past 20 years and it reminds me of my grandma taking us out. Tradition brings us back, service keeps it on our list.

I've posted before. I mentioned how much I like their chicken off taco dinner. Beyond yummy. I like their basic acid. Fajitas. The only thing I don't like are their enchiladas. For me, they tend to be dryThat said, I found two new thingsngs today. to love!Fried pickles Sopapillas. Ive never had either, though I'm sure I've had their dessert eons ago However, not the picklesIt's hard to find either of these cooked core toy anywhere!!Usually the sopapillas are thick and you need a knife to cut the bread...and the pickles, while delicious, are usually only good while hot as they cool off they get soggy because the pickle is thin and can't hold it's own against the batyerHere, their sopapillas are thinly crisp on the top, spinkled with cinnamon and sugar. Puffy, with a slightly thicker bottom, you can easily orick the top to add honey if your like. And you can cut them with a fork. The pickled. Dill pickles are thick cut in round, solid pieces. They are then dipped in a, I'm betting flour corn meal mix? The are very dill-y. But the breading dilutes that just enough to give you a delicious bite. It comes with ranch. My new favorite fried pickle that runs neck in neck with back porch

Last time I had Salas it was for the cooperation Christmas dinner. It was pretty good .... the crunchy tacos were good with the rice and beans. Good beer selection.....

One of the better experiences I've had. The easygoing and attentive staff, and relaxed casual atmosphere changed my perspective and take out plans. Instead I dined in, had a few Amber XX beers, and enjoyed watching the game at the bar. The food was good and the service very good. The atmosphere was excellent.

True 1 star.Sat at the bar with the intentions of having a few drinks with friends and then ordering food to go. The bartender appeared unpleasant and agitated from the moment we sat down. After making our first drink ( spoiler which was the best tasting part of whole meal) ran off to the end of the bar to eat her own food. Coming back only to take our Togo order and then promptly left and never came back til our order was ready. Upon arriving back at our hotel (1 minute away) we quickly realized the food was just as bad as the service. We ordered 4 separate entrees that had the following: cold parts, hard rice, no flavor, and served with jello like queso. I will say the salsa that accompanied the meal was great salsa. Will not be returning.

Out of towner so thought I'd give this place a try. I sat in the bar around 1:00pm.Bartender was attentive and helpful with menu. Chips were thin and really tasty but all broken in to tiny pieces. Salsa was okay but only got a little cup of it and cheese sauce tasted sort of jelled/different. I chose a favorite ( *) "fluffy tacos," and got one beef and one chicken. It came with black beans and a fresh, grilled veggie combo of carrots, zucchini and yellow squash.Beans were the only thing that came out hot. Veggies looked good but were too cold to eat. Tacos were "okay," but also sort of cold, (beef tasted better than chicken.Doubt if I'll be back.

The chips were good, light and crispy. The complementary thin waxy looking cheese sauce and pace picante tasting (sweet) salsa were not my favorite. I requested the mild green salsa.I ordered the Mexican Delight. The chili relleno and beef taco were good. The cheese enchilada was okay, with a lot of cheese on the inside and out. I did not care for the chili sauce on the side.The service was fast and friendly! A+!The atmosphere was very comfortable and kid friendly. The inside is large and spread out. There are multiple tv's and interesting things to look at. I would try it again and order something different.
