Fast, fresh Mexican specialties and a signature salsa bar are the hallmarks of this restaurant chain.

In Short
Founded in 1979 in Los Angeles, La Salsa has grown into a chain of quick-serve, taqueria-style restaurants. Specializing in soft-shell tacos and other Mexican favorites, the restaurant's hallmark is its salsa bar that allows customers to choose their toppings. Menu offerings include a variety of fish, meat and veggie tacos, plus burritos, quesadillas and salads. Entree-sized meal platters--like the enchilada plate or three-pepper fajita platter--come with rice, beans, chips and salsa.

Mexican food at its best

by doll83

I use to eat here regularly with my Mexican friend. Last time my friend had a

salad with a tasty mango dip, avocado slices and chicken and I had a burrito

with black beans, veggies in a delicate cream sauce. Food is always fresh

prepared here and the sauce bar offers a wide array of flavors. We also tried

the Mexican pastry called "Churro" for dessert. It comes hot, strewed with sugar

and cinnamon. Delectable!

• Pros: Food
• Cons: Restroom

Best Mexican Food in Beverly Hills

by gnancy310

La Salsa Restaurant is one of the best Mexican spots in Beverly Hills. If you work in the area and you have to buy lunch, I recommend this spot, it's not expensive!. All the employees are very friendly and helpful. If you want to do a quiet happy hour, I suggest La Salsa, Its comfortable to go after work and have a Corona and the Baja fish tacos, Just like you would do if you were in Baja Mexico!

• Pros: Excellent Restaurant and Great Salsa Bar!

Good Food Fast!

by digdoug2001

Not your average fast food joint. The food takes a little longer but is worth the wait. It has a much fresher flavor than the big mexican chains and appears to be much healthier. I will definitely be back!

• Pros: Fast Food Fresh Healthier than average...

La Salsa - great food, great value

by salsajones

I have never failed to be impressed with my local La Salsa restaurant. The shrimp tacos are my favorite - made fresh with plump, delicious shrimp and hearty corn tortillas that won't turn instantly to mush when you add salsa. The salsa bar features a wide variety of tasty concoctions. In comparison with another Mexican theme fast food restaurant on this list, I found the portions to be larger and the service to be faster. The staff are very welcoming and will often say "goodbye" to departing patrons in unison. One taco with rice and beans makes a satisfying and inexpensive lunch - comes with chips and salsa. For the truly hungry a hefty burrito should amply satisfy.

• Pros: quality foods, friendly service, tasty
• Cons: Can't think of any
