After being sorely disappointed by the lack of service at Roxannne's we moved our birthday celebrations to Salsa. They welcomed us immediately (a table of 9 on a very busy night), and gave us the best service, food and drinks! Absolutely fantastic!! Thank you!

Supper was at Salsa at Midrand, absolutely amazing Mexican food.

On their drinks menu was the “reaper” and needed to sign a disclaimer to drink that 😄 I saw it and had to give it a go! Not for the faint hearted! I personally enjoyed it because I love anything spicy but if you’re not one for heat then don’t try this!
I got my glass of water ready just Incase 😆

Anyway to eat I had the chimichanga which was really good.

The staff were amazing too and super friendly!

Haven't been for a while but so glad we took the drive out . Food as always exceptional. Portions more than generous compared to many other salsa outlets. Chef Frans went out of his way to make us beetroot fries which have sadly been taken off the menu. So impressed!

It was a great experience at Salsa Mexican Restaurant in Kyalami Corner. Live entertainment, dancing for both young and not so young. Food made to personalized order. The normal Salsa standards were met. Ambience and Vibe great. Food amazing. Decor colourful and vibrant

It was my first time trying out Mexican food and I absolutely loved it. I’m definitely going back. The hospitality was amazing and the food was mouth watering. It’s a great spot for friends or family. Definitely one of my favorite spots now.

Definitely a new favourite! We decided to give it a try and I must say it was worth every cent. The food and drinks were amazing, the berry nice and spice has to be my favourite cocktail by far but I am yet to try the rest. The staff are extremely friendly and the food portion sizes were massive but I am not complaining. Definitely worth a try if you like Mexican food.

Popped in for a quick lunch and opted for the chicken enchiladas and quesadilla. Great service and wonderfully fresh food. The craft tequilas are always a winner!

Massive Salsa fan here! 

This Salsa is SUPER!! Their food is fresh, delicious and the restaurant has a great ambience! I haven't been here at night though - but I can definitely imagine this place getting nice and vibey! The center that it's situated in is also really lovely! It has a really relaxed atmosphere :) 

Their Nachos = THE. BOMB. DOT. COM

I love this place. The food is superb. I love the quesadilla, nachos, poppers, and cocktails. I have never been disappointed by anything I've tried. Portions are huge. Service has always been wonderful on every visit! We have been here at least once a week and don't intend on stopping.

Had a great meal at Salsa Kyalami today. Took the hubster for a birthday treat, since Mexican is one of his favourites. He ordered jalapeño poppers and pulled pork nachos; I had pulled pork tacos (Taco Tuesday!) and beetroot crisps; all washed down with virgin blood orange margarita.

To say the nachos were a revelation to the hubs, is an understatement. I’ve had their pulled pork before (yum!) and knew the food was good, but he was absolutely blown away. These were very different from his normal nachos (which are good, make no mistake). Pico de Gallo spread between the layers, guacamole that contained red onion (he normally hates raw onion, but found this a pleasant surprise), two kinds of cheese, and of course, that freaking delicious pulled pork (gotta get the recipe!). He'd started out not very happy because he spent the morning waiting for me as I stood in queues, but when those nachos had him raving as being the best surprise of his day. He was still talking about them six hours later!

The rest of the food was delicious and filling. Our waitress, Eve, was friendly, charming, and unobtrusive. Instead of that irritating habit waitstaff have of interrupting when one’s mouth is full, she used eye contact and gestures to determine our satisfaction - something I raised to the manager when we called her over to enthuse about the food and about Eve (found out that Eve is new and, well, she’s going to do well if she maintains the same level of quality service displayed).

4/5 stars (only because the blood orange juice slush was plain orange - still tasty, though) and a promise to drive out there again soon for more of the best nachos hubs has ever eaten.

Great atmosphere.. Out in the open, breezy and a fantastic place for the summer. I found the quesadillas to be quite messy but tasty. Be sure to gobble it up fast as it does get soggy after quite some time.

Their cocktails are AH-MEEEEZING! Try out their Chilli, Pineapple and gin Mojito.. OMG!!!

The jalapeno poppers and nachos were so good, I forgot to take pics of them first! I loved the starters and I had very little space left for mains. I ordered the beef tacos and they were very good as well. Our waiter was fantastic and food was ready very quickly considering how busy it was on a Friday afternoon. This was not my first visit and it will not be the last.

Had a really lovely meal here last night. Our waitress was attentive and knowledgeable about the items on the menu and  answered all our questions regarding the food with a smile. We were four in our party and all of us ate a different meal and not one complaint! My complaint though is, I did not have space for the Churros!  So I'll be back.

I predict that this brand new spot is going to be pumping in summer. It's quite spacious with understated, typically 'Salsa' decor. Service was good. Our drinks weren't out of this world (virgin margaritas - my blood orange was too sour and the raspberry was too sweet, but we didn't complain). The ribs, corn and coleslaw were tasty, and my Acapulco quesadilla was just delicioso :-).

My first time at Salsa Mexican Grill aside from stopping in at the one in Parkhurst for some Churros and what a great experience.
The service was superb, very friendly and consistent.
The food was absolutely delicious, I couldn't fault anything! The flavours were all there and the presentation was great. I had the El Pescado, the hake was perfect and the beer batter wasn't oily or heavy and had a good crunch. It was a nice fresh meal. The Churros were great and a nice sized portion.
Definitely can't wait to go back for El Pescado round two.

The food was soooo delicious! This branch had a great vibe, good music, and a warm atmosphere with funky art. I really enjoyed sitting there, the service was great and the manager was very attentive and accomodating, finding us a place to sit even in a fully booked restaurant! He also noticed when our drinks were emptying and kept an eye on everything. I really enjoyed being in a restaurant where the food was delicious and we could sit and have an enjoyable evening with great surroundings (also such reasonable pricing makes it very attractive). Definitely going back for more!

I was very impressed with Salsa...not only was the food good, but there was an awesome vibe. I had the beef strips with guacamole & cheese...luv'd the flavour and tenderness of the beef. Also tried the nachos, which was such a hit at my table, and the jalapeño poppers which were too hot for some, but I enjoyed it. Margaritas were a standard; tried the watermelon & jalapeño margarita which was so good. For dessert we had the churros, served with ice cream...the ice cream was some of the best I've tasted recently. Will definitely return soon👌🏽👌🏽👌🏽

I have only good things to say about this branch of Salsa's. We sat near the kitchen so we could see exactly how the food was prepared. Freshly made and delicious. Portions are generous and the food is well presented. I've never been to Mexico but I feel like this would be very close. The tequila options are endless and the cocktail jugs are a must. Service was efficient and the managers are attentive and friendly. We even got free tequila shots. Will definitely be back for those Nachos. Didn't get a shot of the churros but they are a must try.

I had the Chilanga taco with a lettuce substitute bowl & it was delicious! Very fresh ingredients & I loved the guacamole on the top. It was a huge portion so great value for money. The service was very quick & our waiter was friendly. This outlet is different to the other outlet in Pineslopes as it's a bit bigger so less noisy. Still a great ambience & really liked the Mexican decor. Will be back for the nachos (when I'm feeling like a treat) as my friend said they were yummy.

Had an enjoyable dinner here with a service provider. Wonderful array of starters and mains to choose from, opted to make my own burrito and it arrived quite quickly. Always enjoy some tipo Tinto and raspberry followed by churros. The staff were also accommodating for a colleague's birthday!

We did a week night dinner with friends and surprisingly the place was quite busy with people doing tequila shots on a 'school' night. The decor is typically Mexican but somehow gives the place a bit of a dated look and feel. Loved the sombreros that customers used for pics. The portion sizes were pretty large so if you are not too hungry I would recommend sharing. We had burritos and tacos. The churros were a hit! Loved the food here, would certainly go back!

I just love this new Kyalami offering by the Salsa group!! Cinco De Mayo will never be the same again, after celebrating this past weekend at Salsa Mexican Grill.. Salsa is not your traditional Mexican grill and has a more American influence to it. 

Fresh, good quality, delicious ingredients -tick. This food did not disappoint! 
Friendly, attentive service - tick. 
Stunning, modern and tasteful interiors - tick. 

This Kyalam offering has a much more relaxed, family atmosphere than its Pineslope's sister, but I quite like that about it and after a long week, we enjoyed being tucked away in a quiet corner for a quiet catch-up to enjoy our meal! 

I hope that the photos will give you a taste of the festive and delicious experience that we had had here! 

*Recommendation: For a festive night out with your amigos, this spot will not disappoint!

Really great vibe at this Restuarant and very spacious. Had the chicken quesadilla and a side of sweet potato fries. Although I found the the fries a bit misleading as they really do look and taste like a packet of Woolies sweet potato crips. The watermelon and chili margarita is love at first site! Devine! This will be my staple drink at this establishment.

Fantastic service from beginning to end! I've had worse service from fine dining restaurants. The food has improved, catering for many different preferences. I'm happy to report that the burrito sizes have increased as well as kiddies meals added. Again, fantastic tasting food, good service from the waitrons as well as managers. Doesn't get a five-point rating because of the value; it's still slightly expensive for what it is.

Had the pleasure of dining at the delightful sister to the main Salsa in Pineslopes at the new Kyalami Corner and wait for it.....its actually sooooo much better. The staff are friendly on top of their game, you feel 'special' The head chef Christiano took special care of our needs after we queried a dish and went out of his way to rectify it!!! Its rare to find restauranteers that actually care as much as these folks do!!! But enough about the staff and how awesome they are - the food and efficient service is top shelf. I was initially hesitant as the branch in Pineslopes is noisy and busy and just ok, but we were pleasantly surprised, the ambience was great and the lady that took our reservations was super friendly and accomodated us just half an hour before we pitched, she even called us by name before we introduced ourselves and we were a few minutes late! Impressive! As for the food, the platter for 2 was just great everything on it was yummy and had its own unique taste and flavour, my favourite was the chicken quesadilla, couldnt get enough! The chipotle ribs had just about the right amount of spice, had me licking my fingers.....how else do u eat spare ribs!!! The tacos were crispy and the portions were generously filled. To top it off the Strawberry dream dessert well was 'dreamy' totally yummy!!! The empty plate speaks for itself! How can I not mention the variety of tequila on offer - WOW! We had the pleasure of indulging not once, but twice on the gingerbread cinnamon tequila with the orange zest to add that citrusy bite afterward! We will definately be back! Luv the decor, totally contemporary and the upcycling of some of the pieces were simply - inspirational!!! Please do yourself a favour and visit them soon!!!! Salsa Kyalami Corner you guys rock!!!

Really good Mexican food. Have had some of the best Mexican food in the southwest US. This ranks right up there. Would have given five stars, but we are not fans of alcohol. Too many deaths and destroyed families because of that drug. But the food is really good.

Ordered Salsa from Mr. Delivery in the week, was an epic fail. Contacted the store and spoke to the manager Chetty. He handled my complaint with such charisma and ease. He's an absolute gem of a person, incredibly friendly and so professional. The food that was replaced was delicious, fresh and flavourful. Thank you Chetty and Salsa.
