Buried inside a nondescript strip mall, this is an authentic gem for real Oaxacan food. Huge variety, all carefully prepared by friendly and knowledgeable staff. Oh, please order the Tepache drink: freshly made and super-delicious.

I ordered 3 carne asada sopes. The meat was seasoned very well and they were really good. My only complaint is that the sopes had more lettuce than meat. Other than that, they were great. Will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu.

The huevos rancheros were terrible and flavorless, as were the salsas. Took them over 35 minutes to make the food even though it wasn’t busy. A truly joyless experience. Overpriced and under seasoned. Zero stars.

On this chilly, dark day with thunder and lightening across the PNW, I needed some good hot homemade soup. Comfort food ASAP. So I hit the ol’ GrubHub and searched for “soup & sandwich” and La Salsa popped up! YES! Pozole! I can’t find any Mexican restaurants who have pozole on the menu! I usually just make it at home. This was perfect. I decided to give them a try and let me tell you what! I have a new favorite place for authentic Mexican comfort food. They had NUMEROUS original, traditional, authentic Mexican dishes on the menu that you just can’t find other places. Not the typical (American favorites) choices. I love that. And to make it better the tortillas are handmade fresh, and you can tell. They are heavenly. The pozole was fresh and so satisfying. The Torta Oaxaquena was to die for!! The bread was crispy and the topping fresh and flavorful. Not sure what the meat was becasue the GrubHub didn’t allow for making a choice, although it said there were 3 choice possible. Either way it was wonderful and rich in flavors and spices. I also got the Costilla En Chipotle in fresh handmade tortilla: out of this world!!
