"Finding ourselves dogless and childless for the evening, and planning to go to a local pub, I suggested popping out for something to eat first. Friday evening, although I was early, I suspected without a booking we would struggle to find somewhere. However Salsa were able to accommodate. It was happy hour, so we started with some margaritas. It wasn't particularly strong, so my husband requested an additional shot of tequila. The knives and forks at hour table were dirty, but to the staffs credit, when we highlighted it they apologized and immediately got us some clean ones. We opted for Tapas. As a food-grammer, I almost always take photos to share. However, visually these dishes didn't look great. Taste wise, they were OK. But nothing special unfortunately. We had a plate of Spanish cured ham, which I suspect, as the previous review said, was just a supermarket one. The spicy king prawns were nice, but when they came out the sauce was molten hot, as if it had just been blasted in the kitchen. We had bread and alioli, but the bread was just a part baked baguette, which is a little disappointing. The whitebait was a generous portion, but average taste. The boneless pork loins were probably the best dish of the evening- the potatoes it came with were significantly better than the potatoes with the patatas bravas which were bland (frozen I suspect). The lamb chops were tasty but visually very poor. The service was generally good, the ladies very happy, smiley and accommodating, but the food sadly doesn't match up. I will not be in a hurry to return unfortunately."

The tapas servings were exceptional in both portion size and quality. The wine selection was excellent for pairing with the food. The atmosphere was enjoyable and the staff was very friendly.

We all ordered tapas at the restaurant. The portions were very large, and I couldn't finish everything. The food was tasty. Our friends ordered dessert, which was also generous in size and delicious. View menu

Went to Salsa for an evening meal. We always go there and have always had a good experience. We were seated by our normal waitress, we order our drinks and she then informs us that they are no longer selling pasta on the menu which is my go to food there. So disappointed. Didn’t fancy any of their other food so we left. Not great. View menu

Bit disappointed with some dishes. The Spanish ham was out of a supermarket pack, the bread was just a cheap baguette, like a part bake one. The fajitas were nice, steak nice and tender. My husband had the chicken and ribs. Leg of chicken very small and would have been better if he was given a steak knife to cut between the ribs which were a bit tough. Sangria was quite nice and calamari good. The waitresses were very good. Just unfortunate about the dishes. Wouldn't go again
