With such a wide variety of authentic Mexican food to pick from in the Fresno area, it can sometimes be difficult to make a dinner choice. Let me assist in your next partaking of Central American Cuisine by suggesting Sal’s Mexican Restaurants.

Walking through the doors, you get the feeling as if you have just walked into a within a small pueblo. Kindly greeted by hostess upon arrival, I was taken directly to my table in the Fresno restaurant.

Within five minutes of being seated, there was a bowl of tortilla chips and fresh Pico de gallo. A lot of Mexican food restaurants will bring you some sort of homemade salsa, but I believe that Sal’s choice of pico de gallo really clears the pallet and freshens the taste buds, preparing them to receive full satisfaction from the meal soon to follow.

Having such a large selection of entrees to choose from, I decided to treat myself to a chili verde burrito. After hearing good things about this particular dish from my fellow classmate Jason Swain, ’15, I simply had to try it.

The time between ordering my food and receiving it was about 18 minutes. This would normally be a little lengthy of a wait, but considering I was dining on a Friday night and there was a considerably large amount of people, it was a reasonable amount of time.

When biting into the burrito, I felt as if I had just taken a bite of Mexico itself. The amount of authenticity that was put into that burrito was overwhelming and it was simply fantastic.

Inside the large flour tortilla was a combination of slow roasted pork drowned in a pool savory chile verde sauce, beans, rice and cheese. This burrito was top notch.

Personally I am a cheese person so if there were one thing I would add to the mix, it would be more cheese. However the normal person would probably find the amount of cheese used to be adequate.

Having a large fan base throughout the valley, it is not hard to find a fellow admirer of Sal’s. Sophomore Philip Christopher, shared his thoughts on he restaurant.

“I love going to Sal’s with my family,” Christopher said. “We like to go there when we are feeling Mexican food. I usually order either carne asada tacos or chicken enchiladas, it depends on the mood I’m in.”

Sal’s has managed to create itself quite the reputation for delicious catering. If you are ever in need of cuisine services for an upcoming party or event, I would recommend Sal’s any day.

There is a Sal’s Mexican Restaurant in Fresno, Selma and Madera.
