    We frequent Salt regularly and the quality of food is always terrific- from salads to entrees (occasionally dessert). This visit was especially good because the hostess accommodated our request to move to a less noisy table and our server was very accommodating and attentive to the allergy restrictions of our companions. Keep up the good work!!

    They have great food with a decent variety of offerings, and an expansive offering of tequilas and margaritas that we wish we could have enjoyed more. We tried 3 different types of tacos and 3 different types of margaritas, and all were excellent. Also, make sure you try the delicious plantains. The service was really good, and we really liked the ambience, especially with all the Halloween and Día De Los Muertos decorations. Highly recommend and will definitely go back.

    Have dined here probably 6 or more times. The food is amazing, so much flavor. Early issues (when first opened) were the kitchen time, that’s resolved. The location will fool you, it’s definitely low visibility. Inside however is a beautiful decor. So great food, great ambiance, excellent service, I highly recommend.
