Tripadvisor’s approach to reviews
Before posting, each Tripadvisor review goes through an automated tracking system, which collects information, answering the following questions: how, what, where and when. If the system detects something that potentially contradicts our community guidelines, the review is not published.
When the system detects a problem, a review may be automatically rejected, sent to the reviewer for validation, or manually reviewed by our team of content specialists, who work 24/7 to maintain the quality of the reviews on our site.
Our team checks each review posted on the site disputed by our community as not meeting our community guidelines.
Learn more about our review moderation.

Nice and clean, welcoming, friendly staff. All food looks nice when being served to other diners in the reasturant. The wedges are cooked to perfection with a nice crisp coating, all the food looks and tastes flavoursome and very filling. Can be cold inside the...reasturant,More

We visited salsa while on holiday in the town for bank holiday. Walked in without a reservation, we was politely greeted it was super busy and even though we hadn’t made a reservation they fitted us in a little later on which we really appreciated,...we had some drinks across the road while I table was ready. The food arrived ( lots of tapas) it was absolutely delicious all of it especially the prawns gambas pil pil and the sangria my favourite. End of the evening we was pleasantly surprised with the bill also unbelievably great value for money. The staff were so kind and welcoming even to the point we was stranded for getting home as no taxis in the area after 9pm, the lovely gentleman owner of salsa actually gave us a lift home and wouldn’t accept any money for doing so. Absolute act of kindness and hospitality, thank you so much for a perfect evening we will 100 per cent be coming back again xxxxMore

Really friendly staff, nice location overlooking the Main Street, and lots to choose from on the menu. The salad with the mains was a nice touch too (but avoid eating the chilli on its own, I think I’m still recovering from the spice!).

The best Mexican I have had. My favourite place. Fresh flavours, unique ideas, really nice staff. Been a few times now and each time has been faultless. The environment is fun, and it’s a great place to eat. Loved everything from mains to desserts. Can’t...wait to go back. Definitely worth booking ahead though as they fill up quick.More

A great find, we came across Salsa while exploring the area. The service and food were excellent. Staff were so friendly and prompt, and have good advice about the menu. Food was delicious and full of flavour. Would highly recommend. A totally chilled out vibe....Definitely would return when back in the area.More

I'm normally too lazy to write reviews and only do so when the meal was excellent or really bad - Salsa was fantastic. I'm a regular visitor to Penrith and have considered giving Salsa a try on several occasions but for some reason never quite...got there until last night. Staff were really friendly, there was a good atmosphere and the food was fantastic + reasonably priced. We will definitely be back.More

Turned up on spec and were greeted warmly and offered the last free table in the place. Buzzing atmosphere with people of all ages. The ribs were amazing with a sauce that left my taste buds tingling. Naked chilli chicken burrito was full of flavour...Highly recommend. We’d return and try other dishes.More
