La Salsitas

We have been looking for a good taco place in Avondale for a while now. We have finally found it.

Fantastic, cheap tacos. Quick service and friendly. Great for take out. You can’t go wrong with any of the meat selections and the salsas are serviceable. I haven’t had a chance to try the platters or other dishes as the tacos are so good!

I’ve been there a few times and I can now make an honest review.
The parking lot is small and at first spot is not very «inviting» and it’s no fancy place so if that’s your thing, seek elsewhere. Yes, it’s probably open but u have to pull hard on that door as it won’t budge easy and it fools you that’s it’s close. This Salsitas here is more of an old fashioned traditional taste fast food restaurant where appearances are priority 3, taste is 2 and profits is their 1^st.
This is something you might not be aware of but when it comes to your sweet tooth Salsitas got your covered… from Fresas con Crema (strawberries and crème) all the way to Escamochas (no translation on this tasty treat).
The food is great but the taste still not all the way authentic. You can still appreciate the effort and enjoy the food and if you haven’t taste the true original traditional Mexican flavors, you will love this place. As for me, the ratings will still remain at 3 stars as I’ve been exposed to absolute originals from the mother land.
One fact that pushed me away from Salsitas, at least from this location, was the assistance of an uninvited crawler on the wall; yes… u guessed right, it was a small roach! I saw it by the wall close to the exit door. –_​– Far away from the kitchen but close enough to keep me away from this location.
The tables are old and they wobble and their look is out of date, as I mentioned, their appearance is not their 1^st priority, I might be wrong, but it’s how it appears.
In a nutshell, Salsitas has a great variety of food with taste improving opportunities, authentic Aguas frescas, sweet heavenly snacks and a lack of concern for cleanliness and equipment failure.
If u can get past the thought of the roach on the wall, do give it a shot… as for me, it’s the only thing keeping me away as I don’t mind the wobbly table nor the outdated look, but I’ll b going to a different spot.
I’m hoping that after this review they take care of that issue as all places have the ability to be better and become great as I know this spot can be.
Well, may the taste Gods be on your side. ’til next time.

By far the best Mexican food in the valley. Everything is 100% authentic Mexican food. Can’t say enough about this restaurant. Really tastes likes Mom’s cooking.

Had carne asada tacos meat is cheap no flavor at all, asked for chile’s asados I got what looked like a smashed boiled
jalapeño will not come back here again.

Tacos de cabeza estan terribles, la carnes se miran recalentadas y vieja. La carne de cabeza es pura grasa… Me enferme del estomago despues de comer 2 tacos. No vuelvo a ir JAMAS.

Definitely one of my favorite mexican food places in Avondale. And trust me, I am hard to please. I always get their tacos and my bf gets their burritos and I am always satisfied. I’ve only tried their asada, pastor and chicken, and I loved it. Their horchata os also yummy! I always like asking for their grilled onions and hot peppers, they add extra flavor to my meal. This is definitely my go to place when I am hungry and do not want to wait forever for my food. And before I forget, their salsas are authentic.

Absolutely fabulous Mexican food! I stayed in the area for two weeks and visited four times. All the food is delicious, great service and great prices!

I wanted to try a new Mexican place and the reviews here were good so we gave it a go. When we pulled up it did not look like the most inviting place. There were no cars in the parking lot. Is it open? It was. When we walked in, all of the booths along one side had been pulled out and a young lady was cleaning the wall. The floor didn’t appear to be in the best shape either… Mexican music was playing and it was a little loud.
We walked over toward the food and saw some really good looking meats behind the window counter. It was tough deciding what to get! The girl who was cleaning the wall came over to ring up our order. She did not seem happy to be there and wasn’t very friendly. My boyfriend ordered carne asada fries for us to share and I got the 3 rolled tacos combo (beef only, I could not mix & match with chicken) w/​rice & beans. They don’t have regular iced tea here so I got Pepsi. The drinks were filled up so much that when I put my straw in, the soda started overflowing onto the table. My boyfriend got up and asked for napkins. We used those but the soda continued to spill over so a man came over and wiped it with a rag. What a debacle.
It occurred to me that they might put guacamole on my taquitos. My boyfriend saw them putting guac and pico on the fries. Oh no! I didn’t even think about that! In my mind it’s just meat and cheese (and maybe sour cream). So he went back up and asked them not to put anything on my taquitos. They proceeded to ignore this request and had to remake them. Ugh.
When we got the carne asada fries, we very meticulously scooped off the pico chunks, but there’s no way to erase the liquid guacamole, so I had to eat around it. Aside from that, the fries were pretty good. But I was reminded why taquitos aren’t that amazing. They were mostly corn tortilla with very little meat inside. We asked for a side of sour cream. It cost $ 0.65, even though it probably would’ve come on my plate in the first place. Whatever. The rice and beans were pretty decent.
As we were finishing our meal, a COCKROACH ran across the floor and under our table. My boyfriend squashed it and I suddenly lost my appetite. For me, a cucaracha is a deal breaker. We will definitely NOT be eating here again.

You can’t beat the price.
You will want to eat three or four of these street tacos to satisfy your craving, and at La Salsita there’s never a financial impediment in order to satisfy you hunger because these prices are very reasonable.
The carne asada, al pastor, and green chili beef are top-​notch. The tacos at La Salsita are served with a generous amount of grilled meat piled on top of delicious housemade tortillas and topped off with cilantro and onions.
In addition to great tacos, La Salsita has some of the best chips and salsa around. The chips are made to order and served piping hot. The chips are hot, light, and crispy, there are a meal in itself.
If your in the area and craving tacos you should stop by. You won’t be disappointed. Great food, reasonable prices, and friendly staff. It doesn’t get any better.

It was good food, a little over priced compared to similar places. Beans and rice were good.

I got food poisoning here and had no bowel movement control for an entire week I ate the huarache and it tasted really good but there was some cross contamination. I’m just glad my pregnant wife didn’t get her sick.

Took our good to go so I can’t comment on the taste yet, but the food smells amazing. The service was fast. And tho the line was very long out wait was not.

Food is good, open 24 hours and very convenient when craving for decent Mexican food.

The food is great… The service is horrible lately. I miss the old staff. My order was so messed up today, I just walked out and went across the street to Taco Bell.
I have been there so much, I earned a free meal, I left it all at the counter, based on the customer service. I will get my free meal and never patronize them again.

Great food from a nice little place a little off the beaten track.
We have been here for lunch a few times. The tacos were authentic and very good, as were the salsas. Kids meals (quesedillas) were huge and they loved them.
Good value overall.

Excellent food, fast service and friendly smiles! Fresh ingredients, made to order. Clean!

Like this place for a late night snack. Specially those buzzed nights. All meat burritos are delish, greesy but delish, again only on buzzed nights!

Great tasting food!!! Best tacos I’ve have had in the Phoenix area!!! I recently moved here from a border city and this is as close as it gets to traditional Mexican food. They have fresh food, great tasting salsas and a very friendly staff! Open 24 hours on the weekends

Do not let the look of the building turn you away, the food here is amazing. Food is always amazingly flavorful, and fresh tasting. The staff are very polite, are willing to take special requests that aren’t on the menu and make excellent recommendations.
The carne asada burrito is my favorite thing on the menu. The meat is spiced, marinated and grilled on site. It comes with guacamole and pico de gallo, I usually just get it with the pico (not a huge fan of avocados) — tastes amazing! They have a fresh salsa bar with lots of toppings you can add to the burrito or what ever you decide to order — the smokey red salsa is incredible.
People I’ve taken tree have also loved the el pastor tacos, breakfast burritos, and many other items.

The taco al pastor is the best i’ve had. They only serve it on weekends and its made to order. The al pastor meat is slowly spining on a spit and the cook cut the meat as the order comes in.
The carne asada burrito is grilled on charcoal and not cooked on a flat top so it has that chared smoky flavor unlike most carne asada around where its cooked on a flat top. This maybe the best mexican restaurant in my opinion. This is my go to mexican restaurant. F*** filiberto!
