Sal’s Mexican Restaurant: Reviews & Ratings
Was hungry on the way home and stopped at our favorite Sal's in Madera. Dulce took excellent care of us. The beers are always ice cold and the shredded beef tacos were on point. Love the jack cheese Sals uses. A great place for fast service, great food, and cold beer!
Must have chip and salsa !! Service is always amazing very friendly staff. Clean area Easy parking
Table salsa is amazing, great flavor with a little heat. Lunch burrito was loaded, more than I could finish. Nice authentic atmosphere.
You can tell a lot about a restaurant from the chips and salsa they serve, and this place is no different. From the first bite, you know you're in for something great. The food here is top-notch, and I highly recommend the Fancy Burrito. It can get a bit spicy at times, but when it's fresh, there's nothing like it. Overall, a fantastic spot--highly recommend!
This was my first visit here and I have so many good things to say about Sal's! Service was friendly and quick. It was pretty crowded inside but we still got seated right away. I got the chicken tostada. Not only was it really good, but the portion size was fairly large and it included lots of toppings! Eating it was pretty messy but we were provided with lots of napkins.
Great food! I loved the salsa & warm chips! Good Mexican food & everything was clean! Thank you
First time my wife and I ate at Sal's was in 2021 at the Selma location. We had stopped there on a suggestion from a salesman at Keller Ford in Hanford where we had just picked up our new truck. (Was on the way home north). Excellent dinner! October 2023 we met some family members at the Madera location for lunch. Again, excellent! November 2024, we were in Fresno and on the way home stopped in at the Madera location again. No disappointment! We've had great food, and excellent service every time we've been there. This time I had the Chili Con Carne. Wife got the Enchilada Suizas. Both were delicious! That's our stop for Mexican food when we're in that area from now on.
Clean little restaurant in a mall/strip mall. Service was fast and the services were nice. Unlimited chips and salsa. Food was very good. Traditional old school style Mexican food. You can't go wrong eating here.
This is my first time here and I am SO IMPRESSED! Oscar was our server yet other servers came by to ask us how we were doing. My friend ordered the Camarones Mojo De Ajo and I couldn't decide between a chili Relleno, tamale and a prawn taco. Oscar suggested the Chili Relleno and the taco. His suggestions were perfect because I LOVED my food and ate EVERYTHING! I told Oscar it was my first time here. He said, "wait a minute." He went to his manager and came back to give me a $5 off gift certificate to come back again! WOW! I will DEFINITELY be back! NOTE: My friend left a 30% tip. We had a lovely evening and excellent service.
