The food here was good. We did decide to sit in the patio area as well. The service here needs slight work for the fact drinks got low and there were a few things we had to ask for more than one time. We will give this another try again soon to see if service issues have been resolved. Overall food quality was for sure 4.7 out of 5.0 for sure. Willing to give them another try.
This may be the first or second time my husband and I have been to Salsa Brava. We had a really amazing experience and the food was delicious.Our server, Celi, was very polite and professional. She checked in on us just the right amount of times.The only complaint I have would be the humongous “appetizer” for nachos. My husband ordered the nachos and there was just so much!Nachos aren’t very amazing the second go around so I felt like we were wasting some food. Maybe smaller portions and charge the nacho plate less?Other than that, we absolutely love Salsa Brava and would definitely come again. Their Salsa Swirl is great and the perfect patron, you’ll feel that one.We recommend Salsa Brava to anyone. Thank you for great customer service!
The food was good. But we were there pre- Covid. And it was way better then it is now
Dine in. First time at the Salsa Brava. Staff were friendly and knowledgeable about spirits. We started off with an appetizer, Cheese Chile Relleno. Margaritas were outstanding. We had spinach enchiladas and a roll (from the appetizer menu) with fried fish. It was delicious and plenty of food for us. We totally enjoyed ourselves. Would recommend this restaurant to all.
NOT ALLERGEN FRIENDLY. Ordered dairy free, explained I have an allergy. My dish came out having bits and pieces of cheese within the dish. Unfortunately, the manager knew of the instance and didnt even offer an apology or anything. The server however did and was very kind.While all of their food tastes amazing! I wanted to warn my friends who have allergies to not trust them.This was one of my favorite places to eat before allergies, so this was quite sad to experience this.
Josh is an excellent bartender and waiter. Food and drinks were great. Arrive early before the rush.
Food was okay. I ordered the spinach enchiladas and got 2 small ones. The red sauce was very spicy. I received about a tablespoon of rice. I came home still hungry. The chips and salsa were very good. If we go back, Ill try something else.
The food was great and presented very well. Love the atmosphere here and the staff is always friendly. Liz went above in service and friendliness! My wife and I enjoy hanging out here on our date mornings, great place to chat.
Great service, staff & managers very attentive and kept asking if we needed anything. Large portions and very flavorful food. We will definitely be coming back. This is the best dining out experience we have had since the beginning of Covid.
Best place hands down! They have amazing music staff and great DJ.... the food is delicious and fresh and great menu items. They have Mexican food but in a healthier version. I would definitely recommend and I will come back
Worst Mexican food Ive ever tasted. It did not taste FRESH, thats for sure. The pork in the tacos was very dry and the pineapple tasted old, like it sat in the can for a while. The beans had an odd taste, too. Terrible meal. The fried icecream was actually pretty good, though...hence the 1 star.
Not a lot of varieties, red salsa is not salsa, it is Pico. So if you dont like big chunks of onions, tomatoes, etc. Then you have NO other choices other than a burnt pepper option which is why hot (temperature) which would have been nice to know before I dumped a chip full into my mouth. Food was lacking flavor all around. Service was excellent. I just dont see myself needing to go back with so many other options. Sorry guys.
I enjoyed the diversity of complementary salsas brought to the table and added some chile con queso with chorizo. This combined with the grande burrito (pictured) was a lot of food, even for those with the biggest appetite. Add in one of their delicious margaritas and you will surely have a great time.
Foods good but a bit pricey, service is good. My complaint is simple and maybe stupid but there are two restaurants here basically. Salsa Brava and Over Easy. Same kitchen, same dining room. On one side chips and salsa are complementary 6 feet away they cost you $3 lol. Doesnt make sense.We got seated on the OE side not by choice or anything just where the very friendly hostess seated us. Had ordered food, and were waiting for chips until the waitress said we were seated on the wrong side to get chips and salsa without the $3 charge.
It was delicious and very filling. The waiters were nice. Always great to eat here.
The food was delicious and the service was great. Jeremy was our server. Super friendly and patient. The manager even stopped by to check on our dining experience.
Ive had 3 great experiences her so far. First of all, the Joshs (bartenders) are stupendous. The food is great! And if theres an issue you can count on management to do the right thing.
Excellent and attentive service, delicious food, and great atmosphere. I specifically loved the variety of salsas they brought out and the tortilla chips were perfectly crisp and salted. I ordered the Cabo tacos and was very satisfied with both the sweet taste and colorful presentation. I also loved the tortilla bowl that the beans were in (which were not bland like usual refried beans taste). My favorite part of the meal was the range of hot sauces my waiter brought out to our table when I asked for some. It was fun to try the unique flavors and use something other than the usual Cholula or Tobasco sauces!
Some time their food is good & sometimes its not. If you order an entree & like it, the next time you order it, it may have different ingredients in it. Last time we went, they forgot to unlock the door so everyone entered thro the adjoining restaurant.. that totally confused the hostess & we were placed on the wait list for the other restaurant. Plus its pricey. So they are off my list for good Mexican food.
Love sitting at the bar thats half inside and half out. Had the nachos and a yummy drink. The bartenders and staff are great. Love this place.
The seating was done in such a way that it didnt feel too crowded and the waitstaff was friendly and helpful. The pork in my enchilada was cooked very well and the coconut flan I got for dessert was not too filling. The food is interesting from its appetizers, to its entrees and too its desserts. The music from the band was loud and muffled, especially when they were singing. I would have preferred instrumental entertainment.
Not our go to restaurant anymore. Last night was our second disappointing experience. First round of frozen margaritas had no blended ice in them. Server tried to fix it and brought a second round of watery, syrupy margaritas. Never received our order of queso and one of the food orders was incorrect. Totally different experiences than we’re used to at this restaurant, but looks like it’s becoming the norm.
Really attentive service. We sat in the bar. The quesadillas, queso, rellenos were good. The baby guacamole was perfect for two of us.
Yummy! Always delicious with fabulous service. Best queso, awesome happy hour, amazing prices!
Good Patron Margy, good guac and salsa and pico, average cheese enchilada, average beans, great Spanish rice.
At the waitresss recommendation, I tried the steak fajitas. It was absolutely some of the most tender steak Ive ever had! I highly recommend this restaurant!
Freindly staff, manager was active on the floor greating guest and checking on the quality of your experience as well as the food and service.
As stated in other posts, Service is slow even for a drink order. Are you willing to wait 15-20mins for 1 drink even when there’s hardly anyone in the restaurant? I wasn’t.
Great food and great service today. Stopped in for lunch and was promptly seated for Salsa Brava despite Urban Egg having a wait. Food was delicious and you cant beat the free chips and salsa appetizer. Great job Salsa Brava, Ill be back
It is the best Mexican food in the world. Everything is always wholesome and great fresh flavor. It is always a meal to look forward to.
Good food. Good service. Nothing over the top or outrageously stellar. But no negatives either. It was a good meal. Being able to dine al fresco was nice.
I have Celiac, gluten free is a medical necessity for me. I loved this place and will return! I got the salmon tacos, my little man got the chicken fingers and we both loved our meals! I got an adult beverage... something margarita with wine swirled in? Anyways... delicious! We sat on the patio and it was an amazing evening. Out server was wonderful and brought out an etch a sketch for little one. He couldnt get enough of it! Great idea!!The only thing I didnt care for too much is that it took quite a while for our main entrees to come out. The drinks and chips were out within minutes. I feel that the prices were a little high for what we ordered, but I would still come back as a treat or date night! I recommend!
This place has the best Steak Fajitas in the springs. There chips and salsa is also in the top 3. Service is always pretty decent.
Bowel of chili was great. Spicy and drinks were good.
BEST MEXICAN FOOD in Colorado!!! Fantastic food! Been eating at this restaurant (though it’s changed locations multiple times) for almost two decades and it’s a must visit every time we’re in town. Fire chicken burrito is fantastic!
Incredible food, incredible service! Our server was amazing and didnt even charge us for our drinks. Also, theres a fantastic GF menu with some amazing corn tortillas! Cant wait to eat here again!
It shares a space with the Urban Egg, so just FYI, you can take either door ☺️Atmosphere was nice, they have flavored lemonades and iced teas.Food was good, fresh and filling. No cheese smothered rice here, which I appreciate.I had the carnitas and husband had tacos. Both dishes were great.
Place is clean. Service is amazing and fast. Butttttt.... I am Mexican born and raised so my pallet will be very demanding. I had the Pork enchiladas and my mother had the chicken enchiladas. We both asked for hot sauce but the hottest they had was mango habanero which was mild at best. So we asked for serranos toreados (grilled) but that was a negative. Overall the food was ok, no real spicy anything was a downside. Wait...I thought this was a Mexican restaurant???? Hahah, welcome to Colorado Springs 🥲🥲
Great food, quick service (we ate during lunch), and polite servers. Prices were average for comparable restaurants in the area.
May 20, 2021, was my first time going to Salsa Brava. I enjoyed the customer service. Josh was amazing! I had chicken, and steak fajitas. They were fire🔥. The mango margarita was also very decadent! I will be going back!
When we first went here we enjoyed this spot! Burrito and salsas were nice and flavorful. I unfortunately had a bad experience the next time as I was eating the refried beans and felt something in my mouth. I pulled out a half a palm size of plastic wrap. Yes plastic. I was fortunate that it was me and not my toddler. I showed it to the staff and they said that this happens sometimes because whatever they reheat it in. They barely wanted to even discount my food :( my friends had a few words for them and they reluctantly did allow the meal free. It was a pretty nasty experience.
Excellent service by Izzie, great food and beverage. Reasonably priced and seems very clean.
Always a great experience! Happy hour and their nachos are excellent!
Rude customer service, tiny portions, and overpriced. Not impressed AT ALL!
Sloppy, inattentive service by waitress and bartender. Mediocre food. Tableside guacamole had bee prepared much earlier and had no flavor. Same for Pico de gallo.
Not too expensiveFood was well cooked and the meat on all dishes was not overcooked or dry, it was just right.
The Customer Service was excellent. Music was a tad bit too loud. As for authentic Mexican cuisine, I will rate it a (3). A little bit like On the Border. So far coming from California, I rate Mi Mexico 1st, Pueblo Viejo 2nd, Guadalajara 3rd, Vaqueros 4th, and Salsa Brava 5th at this point. Still want to explore other Mexican restaurants in Colorado Springs. My wife admits that by far the Margaritas were rated no. 1 at Salsa Brava.
Great food. Great service. As always.
Love the steak fajitas and Carne asada. Love our waitress and bartender Jamie for our regular weekly meet ups!Great atmosphere, food and service
Rude staff, not great food for the price. hard pass
The salmon tacos were good, the rice and beans were not… really my meal wasn’t very warm… I wish the rice and beans didn’t seem like an after thought.. the amount was also small and cold.. my sister’s happy hour margarita was really bad.. the food just wasn’t as good as it used to be..
Salsa Brava is one of my favorite places to eat! The staff is absolutely amazing and their food selection is wonderful:-)
Liked it. Had the Tres Creditos burrito, very good.
This is a busy, slow, incredibly noisy place, with front of house staff we had to keep pressing on to get one of the available tables they didnt know existed (went on a Friday and sat outside, but the terrible DJ was still way too loud). The salsa is not fresh, the table side guac tastes like its from a bag (to can order it, but they stopped doing table side due to covid...so, they just plop regular guac on your table and throw theyre old pico de gallo on top). The grilled chicken and grilled steak came out so late, due to waiting to serve a massive table next to us over 15 minutes - people were waiting that long for the rest of their table to be served and their food got cold, by the time our simple grilled dishes arrived (which we ordered because we thought it would be the hardest to mess up) our meats were overcooked. The steak was ordered medium, ended up well done but had great flavor. The chicken was just overdone and didnt taste good. Overall, we didnt want to go in the first place and were shown exactly why over the course of a disappointing meal (still, we entertained ourselves and had a good time people watching). Great night!
I’ve been loving this restaurant since it opened! Amazing, fresh food. Salsa is the best I’ve ever had!
Great food and servicewhen we went. Enjoyed the patio seating area.
I would only go back for a margarita. Nothing close to authentic Mexican food yuck and way pricey for what you get. Mine and everyone that went with me got stomach issues from here.🤢
The food was good, the service was very poor. Our server neglected our table and was at the bar having conversations with his buddies. We called him on his las of service and he got very defensive and stormed off to the kitchen. We expressed our disappointment to the manager. Probably won’t eat there again
Food was amazing! Service was beyond excellent! Our server/ bartender Josh was an absolute rockstar! Drinks were great! We will be back!
First time here and I have to say it was real good. Im not usually crazy about Texas Mex but this was good. Comparing it to On The Border it was a little better. We are regulars at Pueblo vieho. The menu has a large variety, we had the street tacos Cabo chicken, which I thought wouldnt be enough but I was actually stuffed. The tacos are well filled and has rice and black bean and salad topping. The rice did have onions in it was a little different for me. The black beans were in a small taco shell boat so they didnt run all over your plate. Nice. SERVICE WAS FANTASTIC. We did go at 3:30 so it was slow. We will come back at a busier time and try dessert. The dessert menu looked great.. sopappias, fried ice cream see menu posted. I need to mention the salsa. They have a Pico style and two of their own style salsa. Pineapple Habenero and a warm Grilled Habenero. Sweet initally and then the kick.. Enjoy the pics.
I recently erred by criticizing Salsa Brava for an event that happened at Salsa On The Rock (which is located in Rockrimmon). Salsa Brava had formerly done business at that location, but is no longer there.When I realized my error, I called Josh (mgr. at Salsa Brava) to apologize for my error, for harming his brand, and for placing any of his employees into an awkward spot. Josh was immensely courteous, and completely professional.Anyway, Im giving SB a five star review for the 100% classy way Josh and SB handled my error.Thanks Josh.Jay
All around an excellent experience, the entire staff is super friendly and accommodating. The food is fantastic and reasonably priced. If you’re traveling and looking for something unexpected in the Col Springs area, please check this place out, you won’t regret it.
They should research fresh mex. Blanco cheese was yellow. Why???? Chimichungas are fried not cooked on a grill. Just plain soso.
Whatever you do, do not ask to be in Ryans section! Why? I dont want him to be too busy when I get there! Great experience. Ryans service was impeccable! Hes the best! Food was awesome!
Nice atmosphere, but the food was a bit bland to me.
Marching band music screaming into my ears was appalling. Not sure why the music is so loud. Or why the bass is so strong.
Great selection, tasty food, reasonable prices, excellent wait staff, timely service.
Good food and I like their outdoor sitting.
Enjoyed a great lunch on the patio. Food and service was good
We have been here a few times and they are always on point. The food is good and they get it to the table quick.
Always quality food with great service.
Great food and great employee team.
Absolutely wonderful place to go since there is only outdoor dining. Patio was covered & heated. It was extremely comfortable. Drinks were good. Server & bartender were extremely nice. I would definitely go back.
Long wait but we had a big group. Only 2 large tables I guess. Staff was great and food was good.
The food was fantastic! Service was great and the lunchtime prices were nice. This is our new goto Mexican place.
Always love the food here, they use good quality ingredients and everything weve ordered has great flavor. The different salsas you can have with your chips are amazing. They have wonderful deals throughout the week. Consistently friendly service with great food and drinks. The atmosphere is also very pleasant and inviting.
Avocado Fries were amazing! Staff was very friendly and attentive
The BEST Mexican food Ive since since moving to Colorado Springs. Took us 1 year to find. This will be our go-to for Mexican food. So fresh and tasty. 😉 Bomb margaritas too.
This is by far my favorite restaurant in Colorado Springs. The food is exceptional, but the service is even better. Josh is amazing!
I stopped in last night to have a drink with my best friend. I didn’t plan on ordering any food because I have a garlic allergy and it’s very hard to find places that can accommodate me. I figured I’d just ask and to my surprise a manager came out to talk about all the options they could offer me on the menu. They took my allergy very seriously and I was able to order a meal! I’m so incredibly happy with the service from this restaurant and will most definitely be coming back. If I could rate them 10 stars I would!
Excellent experience a week ago when my husband and I wanted to do a date night at home after the kids went to sleep. The food was the same quality we have come to expect from this restaurant under normal (non-pandemic) conditions, was prepared quickly and was still piping hot by the time I got home and we sat down to eat. I had no problems calling in my order. They also included a generous amount of their delicious tortilla chips and salsas - they do this in house too, but the portion they gave us was truly generous for a to-go order. A great way to round out our meal. Very pleased, and hoping to order to-go again tonight.
Yo, whats the kids say? Its a Vibe! Hand down one of the best #SPOTS in the springs. Not only the best Mexican restaurant, but all around fantabulous service! 5 stars, 2 thumbs up (plus my friends thumbs!). And when you go ask for JOSH! He is the lcing on the cake to this place. He brings the laughs, Impeccable timing, and hell take care of all your wants while dining. Great job guys!(I gotta get an uber home lol!)
Food and margaritas were great, but no different than other Mexican restaurants. Their table salsa was great though.
The call in service was quick and extremely professional. The food was simply amazing; so creative and an absolute delight. We cant wait to go back!
Delicious good excellent service great portions. Ladies night Wednesday specials
Well tonight was my first time here and i can say that i had a wonderful experience the staff was friendly and helpful the food was amazing it was a great time reasonably priced
The service was good. Waitress was very attentive. The food was flavorful and the prices are very reasonable
Our server was a total sweetheart.
This was my 3rd visit to this restaurant. They serve great food & hire some great staff! Jake was our waiter this evening. He was very professional & umb, not to mention good-looking. Lol. We enjoyed the fish tacos & the Outstanding Grande Margarita. ☆☆☆☆☆ Yes, it is the expensive one - dont leave this place without having one yourself!!
(see attached photo) We have been coming here for years, until now unfortunately . We were told the owners posted new rules - dogs and families are no longer allowed on the covered patio rather they had to sit on the new uncovered patio. About 10 minutes into our meal it started to rain and we were told we couldnt move to the covered patio. When we asked why we couldnt move we were told the new rules are because of the drunk people bothering families and dogs. I would like to point out it was 4:30pm on a Saturday. It was freaking raining and my toddler was freezing!Shame on you Salsa Brava for not being family friendly which is just a nice way of saying - Leave your kids and well behaved dogs at home! We got drinkin to do here!
