Salsarita’s

I’ve eaten at the Salsaritas in Knoxville a million times and love it so when I was passing through Bristol on a road trip I decided to stop at the one there. WORST experience ever. This restaurant is filthy. Everything is sticky. The floors. The tables. And then we got our food… the guac was brown and had large chunks of the avacado peel still in it. The service was mediocre at best. I regret eating here and hope that the health department puts them out of business.

Worse salsaritas I’ve ever had! Cold chicken, out of rice and wouldn’t make more because they closed in 45 minutes, cold chips, no napkins in containers, food on tables and floor. This place is disgusting! and staff obviously aggravated because they closed at 9 and people coming in after 8 so they would give silent attitude looking at you like what do you want? Will never go back to this location.

Every bit of food was undercooked. Rice may not have even been cooked. Every table is sticky. all the food has obviously been left out for far too long. I’m someone who unironically enjoys McDonald’s and I couldn’t even finish my meal here!

Horrible. The floors were sticky. Tables and chairs were disgusting. The lady taking my order was wearing sweatpants that had holes in them and the other other employees looked like they hadn’t showered in days. Dust everywhere and to top it off the trays they gave us to carry our food smelled like a dirty bath towel that hadn’t been washed in months. I would never recommend this place to anyone.

Walked in, read menu, appeared reasonable prices, THEN looked around! THE FILTHIEST RESTAURANT I HAVE EVER SEEN. I have eaten dirt floor restaurants in India, Thailand, Indonesia, Cambodia, Thailand and MANY other places that were far cleaner. The place didn’t look like it had been swept in well over a week. Paper on the floor, chunks of new and old food, old napkins, food on the tables… yes, plural! On the seats, virtually EVERYWHERE. If I had been the food inspector, I would have shut their doors PERMANENTLY! m

We eat here often, but last night’s meal was probably our last. The restaurant was unkempt (sticky tables, trash all over the food prep area, Napkins and straws were not stocked), the food was nowhere close to fresh, the steak in my burrito was so fatty, I threw it away after 2 bites. My husband’s burrito fell apart after his first bute. My son’s cheese quesadilla had burnt bits of food stuck to it because the machine probably hadn’t been cleaned since sometime in 2009. The chips were stale. The queso was thick — not good thick– like a week old thick. We just threw it all away and went somewhere else to eat so we wouldn’t get sick. I understand restaurant’s have tough night’s, but our experience over the last few visits at this location is that the place is going down hill. No matter what time of day or day of the week, last night’s visit is the norm at the Bristol, VA Location, not the exception.
