Their fine Mexican restaurant is bright, clean and colorful. Each table features two tantalizingly-different salsas, along with crispy, light tortilla chips. The menu offers traditional Mexican dishes like chicken or beef fajitas, enchiladas and burritos, plus some not-so-traditional platters such as seafood with a south-of-the-border flair.

Salsas invites you to savour your favorite dish and enjoy their frothy, refreshing margaritas. Happy Hour is Monday thru Friday from 3pm to 7pm. Salsas offers a daily Lunch Special from 11am to 3pm Monday thru Friday. Pickup orders are welcomed; simply call ahead.

Galveston.com Review
A busy parking lot says a lot about a restaurant, and that was what we saw when arriving at Salsas on a weekday evening. Word is out about this Seawall eatery. The atmosphere is lively, colorful upscale cantina, very clean and spacious. We were immediately shown to a table, but on weekends be prepared to wait awhile.

The obligatory chips arrived quickly with our friendly waitress and were crispy & light, hot and not greasy. Red salsa was tomato-tangy and flavorful with only a mild hint of chili. Green/avocado salsa was creamier and spicier. Since part of our motivation to check out Salsas was their claim of having "the best Margaritas in Galveston," we ordered a couple of the house version, one frozen and one on the rocks. We do concur with their claim. We've not had better on the Island.

Our "Mex Mix" appetizer included nachos and taquitos, complete with excellent guacamole, sour cream and queso sauce for dipping (and of course tasty jalapenos for the courageous). Fabulous! Taquitos were fresh and crispy, as were the mixed nachos. All had just the right amount of "bite" for this faint-hearted diner, and my fire-eating companion had plenty of additions to spice it up. This combination could be a dinner in itself.

The varied menu challenged us; there is definitely something there for everyone. For an entree, I tried "Camarones (shrimp) al Chipotle" which arrived with guacamole, borracho beans, and Mexican rice. The fresh camarones were swimming in a smoky sauce with green pepper, onion, and cheese (half the cheese would have been enough). My companion went for a combination plate, the "Cabo," which included meat and chicken enchiladas, tamale, refried beans and rice. Everything was fresh and prepared perfectly. Even the beans and rice were delicious. Only the tamale was nothing to write home about. Like most Mexican restaurants, food was on the salty side, so anyone on a low-salt diet will have to order cautiously. Servings of all dishes were generous.

Not that we needed anything to top off our great dinners, but we had to sample the tres leches cake. It was OK but a bit dry. I'd try something else next visit. But everything else was excellent. There definitely will be a next visit.

Still waiting to hear how it bad it was damaged due to IKE. Anyone know? Marsha 9/22/2008 2:50:00 PM We were in Galveston in June '08 and thought Salsa's was awesome, the food and the service---good prices too. Will definitely go back. J.E. Reeves 8/21/2008 12:04:00 AM When Salsa's first moved from it's location under the Olympia Grill (where we had become faithful regulars) ,the service and the quality of the food changed and we didn't go back to the new location for almost 2 years. But, last week we tried one more time and man were we shocked. The wait staff was awesome, our glasses were never more than half empty and the food was incredible! We're hooked again! It is a must do if you are craving great Tex-Mex! ann 7/28/2008 5:39:00 PM Food was great not pricy at all. Ritas are the best!!! Lisa 7/22/2008 4:29:00 PM Excellent food, awesome Margarita's, great location and a friendly staff with everyone always wearing a smile!! Ryan 7/22/2008 4:04:00 PM This place is just like home. I ordered the Fajitas Mexicanas and this dish is so good, I had to order some to go. The staff is great and so as the drinks. I highly recommend this place. Me and my will definitely come back when we drive to Galveston. Miranda 7/22/2008 9:11:00 AM One of my favorite Mexican Restaurants in Texas. I eat out at different Mexican Restaurants all over Texas and this is my favorite one. The River Walk in San Antonio needs one of these because they do not have anything to offer compared to Salsas. My entire family craves the Chipotle Enchiladas. That homemade chipotle sauce is the best!!!! Always great service and well dressed servers! Keep up the great work!! We will be back! Mary Medellin 7/21/2008 6:10:00 PM One of my favorite Mexican restaurants in the Galveston area. I love their stuffed shrimp jalapeno appetizer and you can't go wrong with the beef fajitas!
