    We’re huge fans of authentic Mexican food, however this experience fell a little short. Waitress and hostess were friendly and attentive. Margaritas were great and chips and queso were good. Unfortunately, salsa and burritos fell short of flavor - I usually can’t handle much heat and the salsa with heat and the mild salsa both had very little to no flavor - mild salsa seemed like crushed tomatoes from a can. The food didn’t taste bad, it just lacked the flavor we’ve known to love about authentic Mexican food.

    Went for a valentine’s day date, our server was obviously too busy as she was behind the bar the whole time while we were on the other side of the restaurant not being served. We ended up being late to our next activity unfortunately, due to our server checking on us once every 30 minutes

    Our serve barely came to our table. Ordered unlimited chips and salsa and only received chips once. Did not come to check on how our food was. If she did, she would have noticed one person was not happy with their meal and wanted to order something else. By the time she did notice, when we paid the bill, we had already been there 2 hours and it was too late to order new meals.

    This is my wife and my favorite Mexican restaurant! Recently we celebrated my wife’s birthday as we do every year at Salenenas. My wife, children and there better 1/2’s all joined us , 7 in total and all was great. Reservations are made on line, we were seated immediately and the service was courteous, fast and trouble free.

    This place used to be good. Lack of free chips and salsa with a tacky sign on the table about it was a bad start. All 5 meals came out like they had died under heat lamps. Rice and beans were covered with a dried out crust. Guacamole tasted like it was made with avocado mush from a bag- like the cheap sabra version. Bill was over $100 with no alcohol and none of us left satisfied. I wouldn’t waste my money here again.

    My husband, friends, and I had a great time at Salenas last night. We started with a drink at the bar. The other customers and bartender were friendly and offered great suggestions for drinks. Haley, our server, was amazing! She brought my husband a gluten free menu and answered all our questions. Our meals were outstanding. We will definitely be back! Thank you to all for a great evening!

    Great meal, great service. Disappointed in the Margarita. Came in a small regular drink glass. Expected more along the lines of quantity and appeal.
