Salsa Verde Restaurant

Apr 7th, 2024

I've dined in twice now and the first time I ordered their birria plate which was decent but not great. I have to remind myself that getting great Mexican foot is very difficult in Tucson despite what I would expect. I asked my server what their best dish was and she said it was their carne asada platter. A great carne asada platter is something I've been dying to find anywhere. So I came back a second time. They messed up my order and brought me asada fajitas. As the server was placing the cast iron plate down she acknowledged she was sure this was what I ordered and wanted to confirm. After you already set the plate down?? I told her it was fine and that I would try their fajitas. The onions and peppers where way too thinly cut and were not appealing. The meat was fine considering it's what I expect from most casual Mexican restaurants. Thin cuts 'warmed' on a flat cooking surface. Not flame grilled nor seared for a nice cut. Can't imagine their asada plate is any different. I may try it one more time to be sure. It is great that they seem to cook everything fresh but from experience, just because you cook it fresh every day being a scratch kitchen doesn't guarantee quality or taste.

Pretty empty around 6pm on a Wednesday, coming from a hike. Service was great and food was good. Would definitely come back and try other food items. Enchiladas and burrito bowls were good.

Solid mediocre. We got tacos and a machete, not bad but totally uninspiring, bland with so so quality ingredients. Just another kitschy Caucasianized overpriced faux Mexican joint. Won't return and do not recommend, don't understand the high ratings
