Food was great!!! Service was great!! It was eleven of us celebrating my daughter's birthday so we were kind of crowded into their longest table. Portions are big enough to take some delicious leftovers home for later! Parking was a bit testy, we had to wait for people to leave parking spaces.

This is a wonderful experience. The restaurant is gorgeous. The attention to detail is superb. You could tell it is a popular restaurant as it was a Monday and it was packed. Even when we left, there was a line of cars waiting for a parking spot. The beans had a nice spicy kick to them. The salsa selection is obviously great. The food was good. My only concern was that the tortillas were not authentic. They had the preservative smell and taste.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A North Hollywood Legend! How did I miss this?! I’m actually a little bit heartbroken right now. I’ve been coming to California for over 20 years, and I’m just now discovering Salsa & Beer? I feel like I’ve wasted two decades of my life eating anywhere else. This place is an absolute powerhouse. The Food (aka Heaven on a Plate) From the moment you sit down, they hook you. That bean dip they bring out with the chips? I could honestly eat it with a spoon and call it a day. It’s creamy, savory, and dangerously addictive. But the real star of the show was the Carne Asada Burrito. * The Meat: Perfectly seasoned, tender, and actually tasted like it came off a grill, not a steam tray. * The Size: Huge. Come hungry or prepare for leftovers. * The Flavor: Every bite was better than the last. It’s easily one of the best burritos I’ve had in the valley, if not all of SoCal. Drinks & Service You can’t come here and skip the Margaritas. They are delicious—strong enough to know they’re there, but fresh enough to go down way too easily. The service was incredibly fast. We weren't left waiting for refills or checking our watches for our entrees. The staff moves like a well-oiled machine. Final Verdict I can’t believe how much of a fantastic place this is. If you’re in NoHo, this isn't just a suggestion—it’s a requirement. My only regret is all those years I spent not knowing this gem existed. Don't make my mistake!

Love salsa & beer. I literally come for their famous bean dip. It’s my favorite thing! I’ve been coming here for years and this last visit made me happy. We didn’t have to wait too long for a table. There’s been times where we’ve had to wait over an hour. And this time we only waited 30 mins even tho they said it would be about an hour wait. The service was great. Our waitress was attentive and made sure we got all our plates. All the dishes are huge so you’ll have leftovers for sure. I totally recommend checking out this restaurant. They have lots of locations too and all the locations have the same good quality of food. We love ordering the burritos, combo plates and the shrimp cocktail. The enchiladas are probably my least favorite dish they have. One thing to note is that there is a different price if you pay cash or card. Card is more expensive so make sure to bring cash. This is a great authentic Mexican restaurant and if you haven’t been, you are definitely missing out!

Food is amazingly good everything we ordered was delicious. We will definitely be coming back even if we are over an hour away, definitely worth the drive. Only bad thing is the parking it could get a little crazy.

This place is awesome. The interior feels very cottagey/Dutch with all the wooden beams and features. Feels well loved and lived in. There was a wait but they have a good queue system with texts to let you know when to come back in. At first the food seemed expensive but the portions are huge. I got 2 meals worth from the fajitas platter and the free chips and bean dip. Highly recommend.

Highly Recommended!! So we went for lunch on a Saturday!! Parking was free and a little hectic however we got VIP (Handicap) parking. We only waited about 5 minutes for our table. Our food came in a timely manner! We almost got full from the chips and hot bean dip!! There is a Salsa Bar!! The Margs will get you tipsy!!

I had a great experience at Salsa & Beer and I just wanted to give a special shoutout to our waitress Ericka. From the moment we sat down she was welcoming, attentive, and had such a great energy that made the whole meal even better. Ericka provided incredible service the entire time. She checked on us just the right amount, made sure everything came out right, and had a warm personality that made us feel like valued guests instead of just another table. On top of that, the food was absolutely amazing. Everything was fresh, flavorful, and came out perfectly. Great food is one thing, but great service is what really makes an experience memorable, and Ericka definitely delivered that. If you stop by Salsa & Beer, you’ll be lucky if she’s the one taking care of your table. Thank you again for such a great experience...
