We each had an appetizer, an entree, and a dessert. Excluding beverages, tax and tip, the total came to about $26 per person. Not bad, for all that food! Entrees at Salty Señorita range from about $10 to over $30. The vast majority of selections are below $15. Pros

Description
Guide Review - Salty SeñoritaSalty Señorita is just plain cute. I liked the interior, and, believe it or not, I liked the chairs without cushions! There are booths, for those of you that like a softer seating experience. The salsa was good and fresh. Not hot. I asked for the hot stuff, and got the green version, still not hot. I found all the food very mild. You know that I love appetizers. Both the starters we ordered at Salty Señorita get a thumbs up. The Margarita & Peanut Crusted Shrimp ($9) came with 4 decent sized shrimp, nicely battered, in a mild poblano chile sauce. The Tableside Guacamole ($9) was undoubtedly fresh. How can I be so sure? Because your server will make it for you at your table from scratch, starting with an avocado. I asked for medium heat. It seemed very mild to me, but my companion did get one hot bite. Just give me that guacamole and a big ol' spoon, please.... The steak and potatoes guy I was with honed in on the "Gordo" Carne Ranchero ($18), sirloin steak with a potato mound (not "cake" as it says in the menu) in a garlic cream sauce. I could not discern the stuffings in the meat that were indicated in the menu, nor did I detect chili or cheese in the potatoes. He enjoyed it! I opted for simpler fare, the Sizzling Rustic Street Tacos ($10) with fish, pork, and steak in my tacos. There was very little meat. The pork was the best of the three. Rice but no beans? I hadn't asked, my bad. The desserts ($5) are plenty for two people. The Chocolate Tamale was...interesting. I kept taking bites to decide if I liked it or not. Dense (but not rich) and not very sweet--a good thing to me. I preferred the warm Apple Sopapilla with ice cream. Salty Señorita was a pleasant experience, but a mixed bag of results for me. I will try again sometime and see if I can make better selections. All prices and offerings are subject to change without notice.
