La Salsa Fresh Mexican Grill Franchise

Quick-service Mexican restaurant

La Salsa offers personalized service and feature freshly prepared menu items made without lard, preservatives, or artificial additives. In 1979 La Salsa first opened as a chain of Mexican "taquerias". These were neighborhood restaurants where locals and gourmets alike, gather to eat the "specialty of the house" - the soft tacos, which are so much a part of the Mexican culture. Today, La Salsa owns and operates an expanding chain of quick, casual restaurants specializing in tacos, burritos and other items served in the style of Mexico.

La Salsa makes everything FRESH to order, each item at La Salsa begins with the freshest, quality ingredients. La Salsa uses only 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. La Salsa is known for its unique proprietary sauces including creamy Baja sauce, a robust Roja sauce, Ancho-Chile sauce, and its famous tangy Chile-Lime dressing.

The hallmark of the La Salsa restaurants is the display kitchen and a fresh salsa bar, which allows customers to garnish their food with a wide variety of La Salsa's "signature" salsas and trimmings that delivers a full sensory experience. We offer seven varieties of salsa to choose from, fresh cilantro, onions and spicy carrots.
