Message from the Business
Since 1981, Cafe Salsa has been dedicated to sharing a passion for Mexican food and culture with each and every guest. Therefore, it is their intention to bring the flavors of Mexico to everyone in a friendly, festive manner. Although their menu began with, and still includes, traditional items such as tacos, enchiladas, and fajitas, they also provide contemporary items such as grilled portabella mushrooms with a chicken basil sauce, blackened catfish with salsa verde, and an ever-changing specials menu. Two items they have never modified are the world-class margaritas and the homemade salsa and chips.

on Citysearch Sep 07, 2004<b>In Short</b><br>Yellow walls, colorfully patterned vinyl booths and Mexican folk art create a festive atmosphere for diners; a wraparound bar draws after-work crowds. The large menu includes burritos,... (more)
