We dined here as part of a birthday celebration. The set menu consisted of a multitude of starters, mains and dessert. When I say multitude, I mean MULTITUDE! The food was seemingly endless and all really delish! My favourite among the starters was the Mexican chopped salad - bright, fresh flavours that were well balanced and smacks of a cool, breezy summer afternoon. By the time the main plates rolled out, I was way too stuffed to tuck in. But the one pork rib I I did tuck into was tender and smoky with a hint of sweetness. The churros were rather disappointing though, doughy and insipid. They lacked the cinnamon kick one expects of a good churro. The saving grace was the gorgeous chocolate ice cream that accompanied them. All in all, Salsa is an experience worth having. The vibe here is fun and energetic, staff and service great, and the food matches that appeal.
