Great outdoor bar, wonderful staff and the food is pretty good, depending on what you order. It certainly is not authentic mexican, as most of the cheese sauce is made with melted white american cheese. Been there a couple of times, and would go back again. One complaint I had was the Chili Relleno I ordered. I really was not... More

Through the years there have been improvements to Salsa Loca and I have loved watching it grow into a great spot to hang out and visit. Everyone makes you feel like a part of the family. The perfect place where everybody knows your name! More

We went here with friends. We all shared the nachos supreme, guacamole, and cheese dip. It was really good. Some of the best guacamole we have ever had. We had the margarita's frozen, They were not good. I told them we didn't like them. They had a new bartender or something. They remade us all margarita's on the rocks and... More

Salsa loca may make for a decent bar, and the service was good, but the food was so bad that I couldn't finish my plate. I ordered the mahi mahi, and though I'm pretty sure that whatever it was did come from the ocean, that was the extent of the similarity. If you go, be prepared to wash down your... More

Salsa loca was difficult to find. Once located we were treated to weak marguaritas and greasy food. The rice was dry and the beans poorly spiced. The cheese enchilada tasted processed and plasticy. The only highlight was our sweet waitress. 50 bucks better spent elsewhere. More

Mexican food without mexican food flavor. Unfortunately it's true you can serve burritos and tacos without adding the best part of mexican food, the spices. :( More

If you are looking for good food and a hospitable staff this is the place to go! They serve huge portions, try the queso dip- we ordered two (and we were a table of 4). We were there last night and we are going back today!!! More

Charming alleyway seating. Excellent Mexican food. A great waiter and fast service. Dos Equis draft beer on tap. NOT fancy. NOT expensive. Just what we wanted after a long hot day in Key West. More

My girlfriend's and I went to this restaurant about a month ago. We had a lovely waitress I believe her name was Wendy. She helped with the menu and made a suggestion to get the ques o' dip (AMAZING!!!) The service was great, other workers walked by and took our dirty plates when necessary and the food was outstanding. I... More

My wife and I fell in love with Nancy and Salsa Loca since she was in the 900 block of Duval! We enjoyed the days if as the Salsa turns! Of course we would not have kept comming back if the food was not great. Nancy recognizes locals and makes us feel like family Nancy's uncompromizing on the quality of... More
