Salsa & Beer - North Hollywood

Fantastic food!! I got the nachos, and they were amazing. Big plate, plenty of food, and good service. The salsa bar is good, too!!

I took my wife family here for dinner since it was my treat to her dad. He loves this place and the location so it was his choice to come here. Parking can be a hassle if you come during the busy time but they have someone to help coordinate parking and I think they have a second spot for additional parking. When we arrived at 4:30pm today (Friday), the rush hasn 't happen so we were able to find parking easily. When we walked in, they were able to sit us before our whole party arrived. They brought chips and spicy beans as the dip but if you want additional salsa, they have a salsa bar that you go get yourself but they recommend wearing gloves. They didn 't give us a menu probably because they want you to scan a QR code but I just look on their website. The waiter and most of the staff are wearing mask for extra protection. They sat us near a noisy table but we just had to tolerate it. I got the Carne asada combo and asked instead of the Enchiladas I wanted fries. The fries was not the best and the carne asada was okay to me. They said the plate was super hot when they brought it but when i ate the asada, it was coldm They were able to accommodate for that with no extra charges. My wife got their Cream Chicken Enchiladas and said it was a little salty but she still enjoyed it. The waiter disappeared after they brought our food so I had to flag someone down to get refill on my coke. The lighting inside the restaurant isn 't the best but i guess it works for them. They have outside seating as well if you prefer that. Be aware that they charge a customer assistance fee so the bill they give you isn 't the final amount. I was surprise too until I saw the charge after they swipe my card but I wasn 't going to complain. When we left, they started getting busy and there was a line of cars waiting to park.

This is some of the best Mexican food in the NoHo area. Burritos, rice/beans, salsa bar, salad, fajitas, taquitos, enchiladas… all excellent! We have been here multiple times and have always had a positive experience. The service is fast, and the portions sizes are huge. I usually get at least 2 meals out of 1 entree. If you like trying different salsas, they have a bar you can serve yourself out of (and take extra to go). They do have a parking lot in the back, too, which is nice.

Authentic Mexican food with traditional ambiance. Very large portions you can easily share with 2. Crazy good salsa options and fresh chips gets delivered to the table! Drinks are good too. You can’t go wrong if you want authentic Mexican food.

So this is my second time at this location. This time she were seated right away which was great compared to our last visit. The chips are served with warm bean dip instead of salsa. It is not bad but it is the same thing the serve for the beans on your combo plate which is a bit disappointing. The crispy taco was out in then middle of my dish and it was all soggy on one side. The chile relleno was below many standards I have set over the years and the rice tasted like it was out of an instant pack that was in a microwave. I must admit this was probably the most disappointing experience with the food but the service was pretty darn good. unlike our first time when it was super busy we had nice fast staff this time. Not so great food just like last time and thankfully not a long wait to be seated like I have had and seen over the years. My suggestion is to go elsewhere like Mucho Mas when they open back up soon, Ernies or Tequila are better choices overall in the area in my opinion.
