    Get the guacamole and the mango habanero salsa! FYI, the salsas come together on a plate, so if you are sharing and anyone doesn't like something, ask to have them separated. I liked the mixing.

    Pork empanada was amazing. Also had the butternut squash empanada (it was a special) which was also awesome. Definitely will come again next time I'm in Asheville.

    Lime seared tilapia tacos w/ CHIPOTLE PEANUT SALSA were awesome. Substitute the pico de gallo for a specialty salsa! Server had great suggestions & was particularly accomodating. NOT typical mex food.

    Visit Salsa every time we are in Asheville. The sweet potato paquete was amazing & I am a carnivore. Loved the chipotle peanut salsa as well.

    Incredibly delicious food that has a unique flare. Very large portions that are good for sharing. The empanadas are crunchy and very full.

    Do not miss Salsa's if you're in Asheville. Get anything with pork, you will not regret it. One of Asheville's top 5.

    Saw comments about the fire roasted tomato & chipotle peanut salsa, and decided to try it. Everyone was absolutely right! It was fantastic! Also had the Holy Guacamole. Beautiful!

    Seriously amazing! I had the pork quesadilla and its definitely more meat than cheese! My fiancé had the veggie plate and said it was the best veggie meal ever!

    Vegetarians: Get the veggie plato. You won't regret it. The margaritas are good, but should have been twice the size or half the price. Guac tasted fresh but a but bland for my tastes.
