Creative Mexican & Caribbean fusion dishes from Hector Diaz in downtown Asheville since 1993: this is Salsas. Locals remember when Hector was selling burritos and easy to grab fare to artists and musicians, neighbors and the working classes of downtown, before growing his audience to curious tourists, foodies and discerning globetrotters. Salsas food and personality have made it an Asheville icon 30 years later.
Indoor & alley dining, great music & energy, cool staff, vegetarian and vegan options, superb margaritas, huge portions, and all with an eye to using fresh, local ingredients.
Always check out the specials and ALWAYS ask for Hector's Hot Sauce. The peppers are grown on his farm, and are hand picked, smoked, cured and bottled locally.
