We tried Salsa's for the first time while in Galveston last weekend; one of our many spring jaunts to the island. I opted for the Buena Vista combination which included a shrimp soft taco, shrimp enchilaa with cheese, shrimp tostada, rice, beans, guacamole and sour cream. My plate was absolutely declicious. My fiance tried the Mazatlan combination plate with a chicken enchilada & avocado sauce, beef taco, chicken flauta, rice, beans and guacamole. She loved her plate as well. While I do not usually like hot sauce served warm (strickly believing that hot sauce should be served cold, and the chips served warm), I have to admit that Salsa's hot sauce is extremely tasty. The green sauce was equally fresh and good, and the chips were warm and crispy. We both loved sitting in the enclosed patio at the street-front end of the restaurant, and were not offended when the waitress informed us that the a\c was not working in the patio area. The patio was more than comfortable, with the ceiling fans circulating the air. Both of our plates were served piping hot. My only suggestion would be that they get the hot sauce and chips to the table a little quicker when you first sit down at the table. I think this slight lag was due to our sitting next to two huge family groups which were requiring a lot of attention. If not for this slight hiccup, they'd get five stars. We will definitely be dining at Salsa's again soon.
Pros: Excellent menu and variety
Cons: Restaurant a little too big; long walk from kitchen to patio
