Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill — Restaurant in Raleigh

I went here for my first time today. My boyfriend and I spent $30.00 on food for the two of us. I walked out the door and noticed my bag seemed a little light. We got a burrito meal, side chips with Pico and guac, (even though the burrito comes with side chips and Pico and guacamole) and loaded nachos with chicken. My nachos didn’t have anything but guacamole, sour cream and tomatoes on it. We had no sides of chips, and the burrito was fine. I walked back in to ask for our stuff, and immediately the staff was scolding me. I got up to the front, and just asked for he rest. Told her it was no a problem, and I appreciate them fixing it. The older lady, the cashiers Mom, pointed at me and called me a “punto” to her daughter and the young man. The young man also looked at me and said that. They just figured I wouldn’t know what it meant. They still didn’t give me my side chips and toppings. They upcharged me for a 1oz side of Pico, literally $5. I was called ugly names in Spanish four different times before I left. Still don’t have the food I ordered, spent $30, and very disappointed. I still told them thank you, and made no scene. My boyfriend did call back and explain the awful service, and the young girl said “um, no, that’s my mom and she would never do that,” but whatever. Anyways, this is what you should...

This restaurant hands down outshines chain order-and-sit Mexican places (e.g. moe's, chipotle). It just tastes better.. fresher.. authentic. Made by those who intimately know the cuisine. D.E.L.I.C.I.O.S.O. Most all menu items come with chips and their salsa bar is something to get excited about. The vegetarian burrito is loaded with beans, rice, and sauteed onions and peppers. It's not your wimpy beans, cheese, and rice number. It actually has vegetables!! One can choose to add a meat as well, if that strikes your fancy. I'm really in love with that burrito and have only deviated from my choice once. The last time I went there I tried a chicken tamale and I was impressed! Cooked perfectly in the corn husk. The place offers a range of menu items from nachos to fish tacos, enchiladas to burritos. The prices are economical, service is courteous and fast, and the tastes are enjoyable :)...

this has ALWAYS been my favorite place to get nachos. before chipotle showed up. (and before chipotle showed up, salsa fresh's direct competitor was in that same spot). i love chipotle, too, but salsa fresh is a raleigh must eat at. they melt the cheese just right in their little toaster ovens. the chicken is cooked just right to go on top. delicious guac, too. i don't love their burritos, but nachos - fine fine fine. and their chips are delicious, too. not to mention that the same people have been working there for a long time, it's locally owned, and they're all really nice. to my girl amanda - so sorry to hear they overcharged you, but what does a woman being pregnant have to do with anything? whether or not she spoke english, she probably would've had to get a manager to get money returned to you anyway. oh - and their fresh salsa bar with peppers on it is also...
