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.

Having read reviews for Tinga, thought we d give it a whirl whilst having a stopover in Salisbury. Restaurant was superb from start to finish, service was superb from all staff. Food was amazing - so fresh and individual. Choice was amazing- drinks menu was...amazing. Usually living near Cardiff we just have the generic restaurants to visit , which can be bland and monotonous. Tinga is a blast of freshness with its own vibe great food and drink and great staff. Shame there wasn’t a Tinga nearby Yaki dah as they say round these parts,More

As a returning customer, Tinga is still fantastic. Best Mexican food we've eaten in a resturant, in the country. Then an excellent choice of beverages and great atmosphere to boot. Will definitely be returning.

Great evening. Fabulous food. Vibrant atmosphere. Really helpful staff. A very lucky find compared to the usual boring restaurant chains. We ate a selection of tapas type dishes - so tasty. Booking is essential.

We booked a table the night before as an impromptu visit when we stayed for a staycation around Salisbury. What an amazing place!! The decor is beautifully designed, very cool and funky vibe! The menu was extensive and so many choices, yet also reasonably priced....But the food and drinks were just fantastic! To top it all off, we had the best service from Tom and Courtney, who were both so friendly and so warm! We loved our visit and will definitely be back when we come back to the area.More
