I made a business trip to Flagstaff recently and stopped at Salsa Brava for supper. I had seen the segment featuring them on Diners, Drive Ins and Dives and wanted to check it out for myself. I wasn't disappointed! I went early, around 5pm, and was seated right away. The wait staff was young, energetic and very polite. I had... More

We found the Tex Mex selection okay here, but the actual food was very average at best. Serve yourself salsa bar was a neat novelty but not much of a selection. Service was outstanding, but food was bland. All in all an average Tex Mex experience.

The service was exceptional. All the staff greeted us as we passed. The salsa bar was great for offering tasteful varieties. The portions were large and the price was reasonable based on the quantity. The food we had was pretty tasty. If I lived there, I would visit regularly.

My husband and I are not big Mexican food fans, but we went to Salsa Brava while on a day trip during our vacation to Arizona. We were pleasantly surprised. My husband had the bbq ribs. They were moist, tender and fell of the bone with just the right amount of tasty sauce. I had the fish tacos and they... More

OK, they have lots of different salsas, so what. The service was fine, the food was Mexican, the wait not too long. My marguerita was pretty much like all the other margueritas I've ever had - have you ever had a bad marguerita? We were seated out in the patio where there was no sound absorption so it was very...

Loved the food, and loved the salsa. Excellent, attentive, fast service. Very festive atmosphere. My husband rated the food as the best meal he had in Arizona!

dinner entrees were uninspired and beans, rice, sauces pretty bland. Service was excellent, place was packed pretty late. Portions were huge, but I'd rather it taste fresh. Just OK, not worth extra trouble to find, and another reason to NOT trust Guy Fieri as a guide!

We are from Flagstaff and at one point of time Salsa Brava used to be our favorite restaurant. The last three times we went there we did not eat our dinner. First there was hair in the food, next they made the wrong food, and third they sat two other people before us when we were the first there. Maybe... More

Great place all around. Dutch, our server was fantastic! The table side guac was great as well as our food selections. Just a nice Mexican place that made us feel at home. Try the pineapple-habanero salsa...amazing!
