nice surprise. after living in north texas for the last 11 years, most mexicanfoodrestaurants seem the same to me. it is rare that i find one that distinguishes itself from all the others. much to my surprise and delight, salsa in frisco manages to do just that. the night we dined at salsa, we arrived just before the kitchen was about to close and we were the only patrons in the restaurant. rather than act put out for making them stay a little later than usual, the staff was extremely friendly and accommodating.
the menu at salsa is extensive and includes a wide variety of traditional mexican and tex-mex dishes. our waitress suggested the brisket enchiladas, so i gave them a try. i have to say they were fantastic! the brisket was seasoned perfectly and was tender and juicy. the dish had just the right combination of spicy and smokey flavors. i opted for retried beans and rice as sides expecting the same bland flavors i've tasted at other local establishments, but again, i was pleasantly surprised by how tasty these items were. i tend to leave quite a bit on my plate when eating at other mexican restaurants, but i left nothing at this one!
before we left, the owner came to our table and thanked us for coming. he clearly takes a tremendous amount of well-deserved pride in his business.
salsa gets an enthusiastic endorsement from this diner for its combination of greatfoodand friendly staff. we will definitely be returning.
