SO GOOD!!!! GO HERE!!! Chef is fun to hang out with and the food is to die for! Husband loved his food and I would not stop raving about mine. Made my mom back home jealous with the pics.

The three of us had a great time at Chunky Salsa on Saturday evening. We loved the vibe of the small place. It feels like an authentic hole-in-the-wall kind of place you'd find in Puerto Rico, etc. If you're looking for a 5-star atmosphere, maybe sheck out another place in town. If you're looking for delicious food, you should sheck this place out. The birria quesadillas were AMAZING - that crispy cheese shell - I'll probably be dreaming about it forever. My friend had the birria stir fried rice and loved it as well. The birria grilled cheese was tasty, but we agreed that the quesadilla was better. The chef/owner is an awesome human and we are so glad to have met her.

The staff here are always friendly and the food is delicious. It’s a small place with big flavor. You MUST try the birria — it is so flavorful! 🌮🌯 Pictured: Shredded Tinga Chicken Tacos & Steak + Chicken Kitchen Sink Burrito + Birria Tacos + Grilled Watermelon Grilled watermelon was interesting. I’ve never tasted anything like it. 🍉

If we hadn’t arrived near 8pm when everywhere else was about to close, we wouldn’t have stayed. But, we decided to give it a shot hoping for the best, but with expectations already low. When we walked in there was a random rack of clothes (?) and the place was so small. When sat, we were greeted by this sign pictured in the attached photos, that so boldly hung right over our table. It made the entire table gasp and laugh uncontrollably. My sister (manager of a restaurant) tried to get us to leave after reading the sign, but others wanted to stay. I was a server for 5 years, and I knew as well as my sister we were in for something interesting. Our server, who I do not blame at all, was way too young and inexperienced to be handling the front of house by herself. She made multiple mistakes t

Our server Ingrid was amazing!! Best Mexican food I've had since we moved here!! Ingrid was very attentive, friendly and provided great service!! The food was amazing! We got the birria tacos and birria grill cheese. Everything was sensational!! We got alcohol from next door and sat on the bar side and Ingrid was more than willing to serve us on the bar side! She had a great personality and outlook on everything! She definitely made our experience better and we will definitely be back!
