An absolute MUST try! We went for my friend's 21st birthday and found it to be the perfect place for a great drink, amazing tapas-style dishes, and cute pics! Definitely a place where the bright decor and hilarious drink names are targeted for the girls so it makes for a great GNO! We tried the fish tacos (best ever), empanadas, and enchiladas and we were completely satisfied. Their "citrus & salt" marg was clean and refreshing. You cannot leave without trying the churros which are more like donut holes and will rock your world. Not to mention their homemade chips were like a better Dorito.

The food and drink were great but the service was questionable. We waited more than half an hour just to get some water, utensils and napkins. Most of the time the server forgot about us.

we made a reservation 3 weeks in advance and when we arrived we we’re walked through the main area to a back room with 4 tables, in the dark, barely could hear the music, next to the kitchen. I was sitting next to a bucket and mops. We asked to be moved considering we had made a reservation and came all the way from philly but we’re told no. The drinks were good but the food was just okay. Overall, disappointed .

I have been to citrus and salt on multiple occasions and loved it so much I kept coming back for more. Although last night I went to celebrate cinco de Mayo early and I was very disappointed. Tje drinks tasted like pure juice as I felt like there was no tequila in them. The tacos were terrible. There was no flavoring to them. The guac was very tasty but the chips has this weird seasoning on them which I was not a fan of. Overall I was very disappointed in my dining experience last night that I will probably never return. It’s a shame because it was always the first place I would choose to go for Mexican cuisine.

Great food and strong drinks. Service was non-existent and the server was nice but stopped by once to take the order and never returned back. ignored us the entire time unfortunately. Noise level is yuppie loud - so dont expect to have a quiet/romantic/business discussion. Unfortunately, its all about the service so tough to give this 5 stars.

We had a 3 pm reservation. We were rushed the whole time because the kitchen shuts down for part of the afternoon to prepare for dinner. At 4:40 we were told we had to leave at 5. This was not professional at all.

No one came over to ask how the food was or to get us refill on drinks. If we’re going to be paying a 20% built in gratuity fee someone should be coming over asking how the food is and if we’d like something to drink. Overall decent experience just disappointed with the lack of attention for a party of 6.

*not worth the hype*** I thought the food was good and priced well which was surprising since I had to wait 3+ months for this reservation… the drinks were TERRIBLE. Not strong and soooooo sugary. We were a party of 4 and all of us kept switching drinks because each drink was as bad as the next. When we got there 10 minutes prior to our reservation, they couldn’t seat us until 5? So we tried to grab a drink at the bar which took almost the whole 10 minutes to get someone’s attention. Which was strange because the bar wasn’t all the way full and only 2 tables had people sitting at them. We were so excited for this reservation because of how hyped up it was on social media but not worth the hype.

The atmosphere - with a cool beach vibe - and service were first-rate! The food was yummy, and while the offered some distinctive options, we wished the menu was a bit longer. Also - there was only one kind of salsa that was smokey; some other options would have been nice.

Guacamole and margaritas were amazing. The main room was super loud and overstimulating. Happy we were seated in the back room where I could actually have a nice conversation. The food was average - the pulled pork Benedict came out cold. Overall this is a very Boston Instagram scene kind of restaurant. Be prepared for a long wait if you don’t have a reservation.

A group of friends and I went to Citrus and Salt to celebrate my birthday. I made the reservation a month in advance, but called a couple of weeks before to see if I could change the reservation from 6 to 8 people. I was told no, but when we arrived we were sat at a table for 8 people. The night started out well, but about halfway through our time there, our waiter became exceptionally rude for no reason. At the beginning of the meal, my friends mentioned to the waiter that it was my birthday. At the end of our meal, they asked him to bring over a birthday dessert for me. When he brought it over with the sparkler candle, he simply put it down on the corner of the table and walked away. By the time it was passed to me by my friends, the sparkler had gone out (while I do love a good birthday sparkler and was disappointed, it was more the principal of it all that upset me). When we left I spoke to the hostess (who was incredibly kind and pleasant) and she said she would have the manager call me. All in all, it was a pretty lousy experience and I don't know if I would go back. I hope other people have a better experience than we did!

We love going to Citrus & Salt! We always sit at a high top or at the bar and service is wonderful wherever you are seated. We love to get there early and enjoy the cool spot! We recommend chips and guac for an appetizer; it is always so fresh, beer battered fish tacos (large enough to split), and the “Tequila is Cheaper Than Therapy” Margarita. Great spot for a group of friends, or date night! One of our favorite Boston spots!
