La Salsita

And again, if I could give this dump no stars, I would. What a pit! What a rip!
Night before last, I went to this joint, inside, no drive-​through. All I wanted was a burrito, a simple beef burrito. Somehow, with rice and beans, the counter help said she wanted $ 12. For a burrito, rice and beans. Really? Really.
I’m not paying $ 12 for a burrito, I don’t care if there’s rice and beans, I don’t care if there’s a salsa bar, or a pretty server, that’s about triple what I expected to pay. So I walked across the street to Taco Bell, got a «Cantina Burrito» for $ 4 — DELICIOUS! !and I went home.
$ 12, eh?

Yesterday morning a friend and I were craving a breakfast burrito and all the places nearby (downtown Phoenix) weren’t open until 9 or 10am. My friend suggested La Salsita since he’s been to other locations and they rocked. Found out this was the closest to us so we drove over.
The cashier didn’t speak a lick of english and I don’t speak much spanish so it was a bit interesting trying to order. I was really surprised that she didn’t speak any english (or at least pretended not to). I was able to order our breakfast burritos and luckily they came out correct. I know there is a heavy hispanic influence in this area but I’m pretty sure I’m not the only person to ever go in here that doesn’t speak spanish.
My chorizo burrito was fine, just had too much chorizo and no other flavors came through. Would have been better with potatoes in it. My friend had the steak breakfast burrito and he had one bite and spit it out, the steak was not steak and tasted like rat. Soooo nasty!
There are so many great little local mexican restaurants nearby that taste better and easier to order.

This place is only getting one star because of the food alone. This location by far has the worst customer service !! I went through the drive thru and there speaker doesn’t even work they tell u just to pull forward. So when I pull up, the girl is rude and writes the order on her arm?? I get home and they forget two burritos. So I call back and tell them and the girl that answered spoke no English (I speak both) but I would think they should have the person taking orders and answering the phones be able to speak English. So she passes the phone to someone else who says they didn’t have the two burritos written down. Obviously not, she wrote it on her arm. They laughed and hung up. If you do go to the place, get off instead of going through the drive thru. But your better off going to Federico’s across the street

Awesome carnitas, lengua and adobada tacos! The flavors were delicious. I’ll be back for another round.

For a place open late and those who don’t mind Mexican food at any hour I can’t think of another place to go eat at 3AM. They have a good selection and prices are decent. I had their tacos de al pastor which is my go to meal when I’m trying out a new taqueria and they were good. Definitely worth checking out especially after drinking all night… really hits the spot.

The food is great. Salsitas has great good at a great value. I just ordered 3 tacos, but I would of been fine with just two since they are a good size and are well served. I haven’t tried the burritos yet because they are way too big. They make their own tortillas right in front of you. The only reason I didn’t give it 5 stars is because the location is in poor condition, clean but in need of an upgrade. They have great Aguas frescas.

I went to the one off of 43^rd and McDowell 9÷28÷2013 around 1:50 am. The place was a little grungy, but I didn’t care too much b/​c I was taking it to go. Anyhow, I got rolled tacos with guacamole and a cheese quesadilla. The quesadilla was as expected. The rolled tacos were not very good at all. They were mostly taco material with very, very little meat. I’ve never seen a rolled taco with so little meat in my life. Also, the guacamole they use is cut with sour crème or something, probably to save cost b/​c avocados can be expensive, it made the guacamole taste gross. There are so many other quick Mexican joints out there besides this one. I would skip this place and chose somewhere else,… Hell, even Taco Bell would have been better.

Tacos are awesome. Tons of different meats & salsa to choose from. The best Piña Colada drink I’ve ever had!!! It’s a hole in the wall, but my favorite place to get tacos in Phoenix and they also had tripas that was crispy good.

La Salsita? It IS SALSITAS… Awesome find, hope you try it! Conveniently OPEN 24/​7, great food, nice people. They have a great variety for customizing your burritos, they don’t nickel & dime you — like for adding guacamole to your burrito for example. In fact, they even have a guacamole sauce with their salsas & fresh lemons & sliced radish/​salad condiments you can serve yourself. You get your fresh horchata or colada from a separate server on the side. They also have Sangria & many other bottled drinks. They have quite a few tempting deserts, flan & fresh fruit t & fried treats but I’ve always been too full to even finish a burrito! They are very generous proportions & they have great chile relleno’s!!! (Hey a good relleno ain’t easy!) They aren’t the cheapest, but worth the price. If you want cheap, stick to bean & cheese, or taco’s either way it’s real food & you’ll get plenty. SO why it’s not 5 stars… It’s kinda funky for sit-​in, but there’s a drive through. If you habla espagnol it may be easier, if not as entertaining. I’ve ended up buying two of something a couple of times, & tried a couple surprises; if you really want to be sure it’s done a certian way it’s best to go inside & watching them put it together through the glass is pretty cool too. Even when you get just what you ordered, it seems there’s always extra food — Oh, well, it makes great leftovers!

It’s 3am on a Wednesday morning, and you can’t walk straight. With a stomach that’s only known a liquid diet for the last six hours, you tell your DD this will be much better than Jack in the Box. The night’s been full of questionable decisions… one more couldn’t hurt, right?
La Salsita has a nice array of different meats and veggies all ready to be loaded into a tortilla. If you want something quick like a burrito, it’s like Chipotle for people who aren’t afraid of Mexicans.

Went Sun: 3÷17÷13. Food & drinks were terrible. (I’ve eaten at the Salsita on 67^th & Thomas & that place has the best Tacos & drinks-​5 stars) But this place on 43^rd was awful. I ordered 3 tacos de cabeza. Tortillas were hard & cold & the meat looked more like lengua & it was just bad all the way around & my Jamaica drink tasted AWFUL with a bad after taste-​chalky-​Ewww! I didn’t return my food but I just know NOT to EVER go back to this place again-​Ever! Find another Salsita… not this one.

I’ve been coming here for a few years now and their carne asada tacos and bomb. And I thought they were called Salsitas.
