My family and I, recently while on vacation in Morganton, NC, happen to dine at Las Salsas Mexican Restaurant, and we were blown away. The service was impeccable, the food real tasty, the portions were big, and the prices were very reasonable. This place is...a winner, bar none. I wish we had that restaurant down here in Miami. :-)More

Came with siblings for lunch on a Saturday. Food was tasty: I had the carnitas in cream sauce (a specialty) which was to die for. My brother's chicken dish was fantastic; while his girlfriend had a HUGE chimichanga which she loved. (They've been here before.)...My sister enjoyed the enchilada. The friend ice cream was huge, but not technically fried - it had churros chips around it, but it was tasty. The flan was amazing! Highly recommend and wish I could remember our server's name as she was not only very good, but funny and personable. Will return.More

We enjoyed this busy places atmosphere. WE were coming to Morganton for another night at the CoMMA for a concert. The food came in large portions. We felt that there was very little seasoning on the fajitas we ordered and the quesadilla were very bland....The service got lost at times. We had to have a bus boy track her down so we could pay our bill. For us it was a pretty average three star stop. Large portions of not well seasoned food. We would not return.More

Horrible takeout experience. Placed a mobile order, waited the appropriate time they said (30 minutes )went to pay for it. Waited additional 45 minutes and it was on the take out table the whole time but it wasn’t labled. Absolutely chaotic and unorganized l.

Las Salsas in Morganton, NC, used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant. The food and service were second to none. However, I understand they have changed management, and it's not been a good change. The wait to be seated in a half full dining room...was ridiculous. The service is terrible. And the food, that we used to love, is now awful. After we were finally waited on, my wife and I ordered table side guacamole as an appetizer with our meal. The food came out way before the appetizer. When we finally got the guacamole, after we had almost finished our meal, it was NOT guacamole. First of all, it wasn't made "at the table", as table side guacamole had always been. Then, it was nothing but chopped up avocados in pico de gallo. It was horrible. When I mentioned it to the server that it was not what we ordered, we were informed that "we don't do that anymore." Well, I won't go back to Las Salsas anymore.More

The best Mexican food by far. It was late and we were trying to find anything to eat. We had gone in to several places and never even were noticed. We stumbled on this place and it was perfect. The service and food were awesome....We will visit again when traveling through in the futureMore

We were on our way home from a vacation in the Gatlinburg area and hungry for Mwxucan food. Based on the reviews here, this seemed like a good choice. We were so wrong. The first sign should have been when they out if salsa! Out...of salsa???? At 3:30 on the Friday of Memorial Day weekend? How do you run out if salsa? They have a salsa bar and while they had some of the super hot varieties available, the basic chip salsa was all gone and apparently making more wa not an option. I ordered a shredded beef chimichanga and my travel buddy ordered the Arroz con Polo or ACP. Her dish came out a solid 10 minutes before mine with no explanation of when my food would arrive. And when it finally arrived, it was not really worth waiting for. The entire plate had zero flavor... just bland. We picked through our food and were ready to go. We realized it had been some time since we saw our waitress. So we asked another server who brought us our check. When we went to the counter to pay, we waited again. We finally flagged another waiter down, who told us to just "leave it with me, your waitress left". I was stunned....."she left?" He confirmed she had gone home for the day, without saying a word to us. I guess she won't miss the tip we certainly weren't going to leave at that point. Don't make the mistake we made - keep driving.More

I’m a local and it is one of my favorite places to eat. Best Mexican food anywhere between Hickory, Morganton, Shelby. The salsa bar is tops!! I recommend the avocado salsa on the bar it’s unique and I can’t find it anywhere else. The service...is incredible, your drink is never empty and chips are refilled without asking. Very very clean as well. Awesome margaritas!More

We love coming here when we can! We don’t go out to eat very much but las salsas is always one of our top choices. I took my fiancé out for his birthday here and of course we’re never disappointed. It was pretty busy and...a longer wait than usual but our server made sure to constantly check on us despite the busyness and made sure we always had chips and dip if we wanted it! And despite the longer wait we still had our food in a reasonable amount of time! I sometimes like to try new things from the menu and every time I try something new I am never disappointed! Absolutely recommend coming here.More

We ordered steak fajitas for 2 and easy eating 4. They were super tasty and brought it to us very quickly. We ask for 2 flutes for the children and 2 mini burritos and exchange one and one. The location was very clean and everyone...kept their distance. I really love the food.More

Ordered online with a pick-up time scheduled an hour out. Arrive on time and apparently, they had given our dinner to someone else and they had just brought it back. They said they would make us a new order - it took 35 minutes of...waiting! I could have cooked the meal myself in that time period. No offer to comp the meal. Get home and they did not include any of the sides and dressing requested in the online order. I will not be ordering online for pick-up ever again.More

I called ahead and was told there was outside seating. Turns out there isn’t any! So we decided to do takeout. The portions are large and it’s not expensive but it was also nothing exciting. The pace was quite chaotic and the staff seemed overwhelmed...and it wasn’t even overly busy. Would not go back. Plenty of other paces to eat.More

This is fairly good but not the best in Burke county. The service is fair, could clean tables better. We were first at our table on a Sunday morning and there was film on the top and edges of the table. Wait staff not very...attentive.More

Yes. They offer corn tortillas and most of the meals are GF. Don't order anything from the fryer. Don't eat the fried tortilla chips. We usually get the soft corn tortillas and dip with those.
