It
is the 30th anniversary for La Salsa and La Salsa Cantina
including La Salsa Cantina located in the Miracle Mile Shops
at Planet Hollywood and La Salsa in the Showcase Mall.
Along with great, fresh Mexican food, La Salsa offers a
fully stocked-bar and catering as well as place for private
events such as weddings, receptions, mixers, banquets and
parties.
The
décor is inspired by the vibrant colors and rich textures of
Mexican art and architecture, the décor is a combination of
colorful ceramic tile, authentic artwork, and accent
lighting with brightly colored tables and chairs. The
exterior design features a 25-foot-tall illuminated
Margarita flask complete with salted rim and a four-foot
lime wedge.
In the
Miracle Mile Shops location, there is “outdoor” seating
where you can people watch in the comfort of a climate
controlled mall. There is room in the back for private
events and since La Salsa is located next to the V Theater
and close to the Steve Wyrick Theater and Planet Hollywood,
it is a perfect place to dine before or after a show.
In the
Showcase Mall location, there is a private dining room great
for networking meetings set up in such a way that all
participants can see and hear the speaker. This room can
also be set up for special occasions such as weddings and
receptions, parties and banquets.
As for
food, well the Cantina Sampler is one of my personal
favorites with quesadillas, chicken taquitos, nachos and hot
wings. The salsa and chips are always made fresh. Sous
Chef Sammy Ramirez has been at La Salsa for over eight years
and as he said, “I love it here. I really enjoy the people,
preparing the food and making sure that everything is
perfect.”
I enjoyed
the chipotle shrimp salad made with grilled shrimp, romaine
lettuce, avocado, beans, corn, salsa, cheese, tortilla
strips and spicy chipotle dressing. For an entrée, I had the
Three Pepper Fajita Platter. On the photo, you can see the
steam still rising! You have a choice of grilled chicken or
sirloin steak, along with fire- roasted fresh fajita
veggies, fresh guacamole and sour cream and served with warm
corn or flour tortillas, beans, rice, chips and fresh
salsa.
This is
what I enjoyed along with a fabulous dessert. But the food
is more than that. La Salsa offers some of the best Mexican
food you will enjoy, freshly prepared made without lard,
preservatives, or artificial additives. The food blends
the bold tastes and flavors of Mexico in a variety of unique
dishes. Like the United Stations, Mexican cuisine comes from
many regions, with dishes inspired by the fresh seafood of
Baja, tender steak from the plains of Pueblo, and marinated
chicken breast grilled over an open flame from Central
Mexico.
Everything is made fresh to order with highest quality
proteins, marinated sirloin steak, boneless skinless chicken
breast, seasoned fish, and shrimp. The assortment of fresh
ingredients, spices and sauces bring out layers of flavors
in a variety of classic and contemporary menu items. The
service was impeccable with some of the friendliest staff
including Director of Catering and Banquets Irene
Rodriquez. Everyone is having fun and it is a party.
La Salsa
Cantina has been voted "Best Margarita in Vegas” and offers
a full bar featuring 40 premium tequilas, specialty rum
drinks, wine and a full compliment of Mexican beers. In
homage to its signature "Margarita by the Yard", an actual
yard-long flask is filled with the award-winning drink.
In 1979,
La Salsa first opened as a chain of Mexican “taquerias,”
neighborhood restaurants featuring their specialty of soft
tacos, which is so much a part of the Mexican culture.
Today, La Salsa, both corporate and franchises, are located
across the country. But when you come to La Salsa, you are
not eating in a franchise but are experiencing a fun, unique
place to eat, drink and enjoy.
The hours
are Sunday - Thursday, 8 a.m. to 11 p.m. and Friday -
Saturday, 8 a.m. to midnight
