Mr Salsa: Authentic Mexican Cuisine in Chicago

Excellent service and food. If you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this is the spot.

Solid Mexican food. Eaten here a couple times now - it’s a small spot and everything is made fresh to order (including the guac) so takes awhile to prepare but worth it. The steak has good flavor but a little gristly, the chicken was surprisingly tasty and tender. Salsas had a good amount of heat and great flavor, worked well on everything. The guacamole was great. Veggie burrito was almost a little sweet, great for kids who don’t want a quesadilla. Prices and availability have been updated during the pandemic thanks to supply chain issues, still pretty reasonable in my opinion.

I went here last night for dinner. My friend Andrew told me about this little gem on the corner of Broadway and Montrose. They have a few tables here for dining in. It was not crowded and there was no wait. They have a number of items on the menu, I will post picture of the latest menu soon. I got the Chiles Rellenos, and it was great! last time we went to a Mexican place(Mayan Place Mexican Cuisine in Lincoln park), my friend got this chiles rellenos and i will tell you, both looked very different for each other. What I learned was chiles rellenos can be different from one place to another, basically its not like a standard hamburger. The one i got was yum! it was oily and cheesy, and it tasted delicious. included in the plate- tortillas, guac, salad, rice, and beans were great too! I felt the service was quick, our food was on our table within 5 minutes of ordering. Chips and Salsa they provided us were complimentary, and the chips was crisp and warm, looks like they fried it back in the kitchen! I would certainly recommend going to this family owned place if you are up for trying some Mexican food.

I’ve been coming here since I was a minor like 16-17yrs of age, I’m 31 now & their food still taste amazingly delicious & fresh. I love the owner been knowing him forever, good Mexican family & food, if your in the area craving something to eat, it’s worth it & they give a good portal of meat, which I always loved. Dining out, watch some tv. I do Hope one day he expands the dining to a bar, have a margaritas, or cold beer with the food HIGHLY RECOMMEND PS. loyal customer

I live right near Mr. Salsa and have always enjoyed their food. Mainly people take out but there is seating. This is a family affair serving authentic recipes and home made right before your eyes. When I order Guac and chips I watch them pull whole avocados from the fridge and mash and mix so it's ultra fresh and so tasty with onions and tomatoes. Their chicken tacos with everything are a delight as are the steak. This is a "hidden gem" on a quiet stretch of Montrose Ave but word is out because they are busy!

I cannot be objective about Mr. Salsa. I’ve been coming here for 20 years, and the tacos are as awesome now as they ever were. It’s small, probably more perfect for take out, but if you stay at one of the few tables they will make you feel welcome!!

True definition of mom and pa place. The food is amazing and feels just like home. Love visiting and def recommend it.
