We popped in today and got a burrito and nachos. Both so good, best Mexican in Galway 100%! Staff so friendly and loved the music playing. My photo doesn't do justice at all, was too excited to eat 🤣 portions are generous and the Guac on nachos was TASTY. We try come every time we visit Galway.

Was so happy to find some Mexican food in Galway! As someone allergic to seafood, this was the perfect option for me as they don’t serve any seafood. We had a beef burrito and a combo of beef and sweet potato tacos and thoroughly enjoyed them.

Response from the owner

Really enjoyed Salsa! I had a burrito and it was filling, tasty, and well put together—great balance of flavours and generous portions. The place also has colourful décor and a relaxed vibe. Service was quick too, making it perfect for a casual lunch or a quick pit stop before heading home
