April FMay 14, 2013Get the guacamole and the mango habanero salsa! FYI, the salsas come together on a plate, so if you are sharing and anyone doesn't like something, ask to have them separated. I liked the mixing.
Michael KimApril 1, 2016Pork empanada was amazing. Also had the butternut squash empanada (it was a special) which was also awesome. Definitely will come again next time I'm in Asheville.
Shirley LiuJuly 14, 2013Lime seared tilapia tacos w/ CHIPOTLE PEANUT SALSA were awesome. Substitute the pico de gallo for a specialty salsa! Server had great suggestions & was particularly accomodating. NOT typical mex food.
Steve OJune 1, 2017Visit Salsa every time we are in Asheville. The sweet potato paquete was amazing & I am a carnivore. Loved the chipotle peanut salsa as well.
Asher Kahn-KrellDecember 23, 2016Incredibly delicious food that has a unique flare. Very large portions that are good for sharing. The empanadas are crunchy and very full.
Do not miss Salsa's if you're in Asheville. Get anything with pork, you will not regret it. One of Asheville's top 5.
Mike WoodJuly 29, 2012Saw comments about the fire roasted tomato & chipotle peanut salsa, and decided to try it. Everyone was absolutely right! It was fantastic! Also had the Holy Guacamole. Beautiful!
Caroline AnneOctober 1, 2012Seriously amazing! I had the pork quesadilla and its definitely more meat than cheese! My fiancé had the veggie plate and said it was the best veggie meal ever!
Katie J.August 31, 2015Honestly the pulled pork taco was the best taco I've ever had. $10 for all that! Yum
- LisaJuly 19, 2018The food had a lot of flavor and service was great! The blueberry mojito was delicious. Great for vegetarians!
Jessica HolmesNovember 12, 2013If you enjoy exotic flavors, this place will not disappoint! Try salsa trio with pineapple habanero, chipotle pumpkin, and guacamole. Excellent mojitos as well!
Amelia HallMay 15, 2012Try the Slow Pulled Pork Empanada - Slow pulled pork, cilantro , Avocado sauce, personal – orange sauce, sweet corn, queso Blanco
Sheila FlanaganDecember 28, 2014Pom Pom Pom. Best place in Asheville! We make s point to get here every time in town.
Matt MorrellAugust 3, 2010Place is the bomb! Every time in Asheville make it a point. Great combo of Ingredients. It's like Mexican meets Cuban meets Jamaican meets straight island love.
- Amelia HallMay 15, 2012Try the Burritos Favoritios , The Asheville - The Asheville Burrito Favirito- steak, shrimp, and cut french fries, queso blanco
Michael WrightJuly 30, 2016Salsa is good I had the Smoked tomato. Nice bit of heat to it but not overpowering.
Marirene EdwardsMarch 31, 2014More Mexican than Caribbean, but good food. Asheville lemonade was yummy :)
Barbara KallasApril 24, 2016First time was great. Second time, sat down, no one came to take our order, so we walked out.- Amelia HallMay 15, 2012Try the Spliff Rolls - Crab & cheese stuffed flour tortilla rolls with coconut sauce and mango salsa
Brent CorbettJanuary 3, 2012Awesome little place with inventive dishes, fun staff, and fresh ingredients!
Tom OuelletteNovember 19, 2012The pork rellano was amazing! Word to first time guests- portions are huge
I love everything here except the fact that they close from 4-5pm...stupid.
LaurenJuly 20, 2013Vegetarians: Get the veggie plato. You won't regret it. The margaritas are good, but should have been twice the size or half the price. Guac tasted fresh but a but bland for my tastes.
Mike FreyderMarch 25, 2011Don't leave Asheville without hitting this place! Ultimate lava rock bowl full of yummy goodness... Dangerous, but worth it!
Jennifer GibergaJuly 31, 2013Don't even think about asking them to split a check for a party of 6 or more. Ain't happening. Prepare accordingly.
