El Salto Mexican Restaurant — Restaurant in Maryland

My husband and I went last night and had to wait 30 mins for a table. Never ever had to wait, no problem I'm glad they're doing so well. Got seated and waited almost 15 mins before our waitress came by for our drink order. Ok not a good start. Came right back with drinks and took our order. She brought my husband's food out and asked where's mine? In a couple mins. I hate that. She brought my food and that was it, never saw her again. Didn't come back to check on us or give us anymore drinks. So we finished our food and sat and sat and sat. Finally after waiting almost a half hour after eating we grabbed another waitress and asked if she could find her she asked if she could help us and said we'd like a box and check please. By this time the place had cleared out and still no sign of our waitress. So other waitress brought our check and box and our waitress finally came over and saw we got our stuff and was gonna turn around and leave so I said wait here's my card take it now. I didn't know when she would ever come back. Paid the bill and left a small tip. I didn't want to leave any but couldn't do that. I usually leave more than 20% especially for good service but jeez not tonight! It's a shame, the food was fantastic!!!! Worst service I've had that I can remember! Came right home and headed for the kitchen to get a drink. First time I've left a...

Highly Recommend! El Salto has never disappointed us. Now, maybe that's because we both found dishes that we really like (we really should explore some of the multitude of other menu options, but when you find something that you just find yourself craving it's difficult to argue against it 😉).

For me that's the El Salto Burrito (A 12-inch flour tortilla stuffed with grilled steak, chicken, chorizo, rice, and beans. Smothered in their "famous cheese sauce" and topped with pico de gallo). For my wife it's the California Burrito (grilled slices of chicken or steak, rice, refried beans, lettuce, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo all inside. Then topped with the famous cheese sauce). These monsters are absolutely delicious and most will find that half or even a third of one will easily satiate your appetite, leaving for some mouth watering leftovers 😋

Hosts are friendly, nice atmosphere and service is excellent, especially at the tables (including cozy booths). Bar tenders are great too, but are always busy mixing pretty drinks 🍸 Of course, there's tequila available, but I'll stick with a draft of Modelo or a bottle of Modelo...

The Good:

The employees at the front were pleasant and immediately seated us. Our waitress was equally pleasant and attentive, having stopped by our table multiple times to check on how were doing. The atmosphere was relaxing and the restaurant was clean. We were given salsa and chips once seated. For the appetizer, we had the Nacho Supremo, which was delicious. I ordered the burrito, enchilada, and the chalupa combination, while my wife had the same except the burrito was replaced with the taco. Everything was delicious. I even tried my son's fries and took a bite of his cheese quesadilla, which he barely touched (this has more to do with him) and that also was good.

The Bad:

I do not have one negative comment.
