salsa

not as good as plano. i don't know what is going on with thisfriscolocation. it was good when it openned a year ago and now it was bad; two times now. the chicken was flavorless and tough in the chimichanga and on the lolita plate. the salmon salad was horrible and it looked like they scraped the fish off the grill and threw it on the salad and one of the pieces looked like it had been partially eatin or something. we ordered apple juice for our toddler it came in a white cup and then 10 minutes later the waitress comes back and goes oops i gave her soda instead of apple juice. the food was terrible, the waitress was horrible. we asked for the manager she would not get him; we had to have another waiter get him and he, the manager, was not helpful at all. only argued with us about the quality of the food. we prefer the plano location not frisco. i don't know what has changed but if it is a new cook or they feel rushed; it's time to take a review. the place use to be packed all the time and now it is easy to get in; but the plano location is now packed again. the only thing that is worth it at this location is the salsa, queso, chips, and margaritas. the food quality and attention to service detail is lost. back to plano my family will go!

nice surprise. after living in north texas for the last 11 years, most mexican food restaurants 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 infriscomanages 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 great food and friendly staff. we will definitely be returning.
