Dale B. pretty much said it all! Hello? Flavor, are you there?
This is what happened. The bf spotted Salva Vida prior to their opening and on Monday, the sign on the door indicated they'd be serving on Wednesday afternoon. We were ready.
It's Wednesday and it is gorgeous. The first full-sun day in what seems like forever (dramatic). Anyways, we take another lovely stroll, eagerly anticipating delicious tacos. The scene inside is promising.
Fish Taco? Yes, pls. Carnitas and Pollo, too. Nothing is better than chips & guac, but $7 is about the stupidest thing ever. Perhaps, the chips are actually laced w/a highly marketable narcotic.
Tacos arrive. Severe disappointment. I am betting no one running this place has ever had a true Mexican taco. Excuse me, can I get a side of flavor, pls? I think your guy forgot to toss some taste on these tacos.
It is truly a shame. The neighborhood needs an OG taco spot. This could've been it. It ain't.
Simple tacos but tasty! The usual quaint brooklyn hole with a surprisingly wife variety on the menu. Skirt steak and chicken tacos excellent. They have 3 varieties of salsas- all good. I will be back to try the quinoa and black bean salad! Staff very friendly 🙂
I've been here once, so i'm not exactly an expert, but what i do know is that i like this place. I'm not in love with it, but it's good, and cheap. I had their Chorizo/papas taco which I thought was REALLY good, and their steak quesadilla, which was also good. It is indeed difficult to find some good Mexican food, anywhere in NYC, but this I actually enjoyed, so I agree with Milla on this one, give them a shot!
PS: CASH ONLY
The shrimp tacos with the chipotle mayo are amazing! Also love the pico de gallo, not too spicy at all, just right!
This hidden gem was amazingly tasty and totally unexpected! An amazingly delicious shrimp taco for around three dollars, nachos heaping with shredded chicken, onions, diced tomatoes, guacamole tasted great. This is a small little place that makes their own hot sauce and seasons their own meats in their underground kitchen. The manager, Isiahs is very friendly and greeted us a shy smile. Halfway through our meal he brought us a small mole enchilada with chicken to try. Service was great. Friendly, helpful and clean place.
Will definitely go back because the flavors are perfect this is a true hidden gem! Awesome Tex-Mex flavours in Brooklyn. I gave this five stars because for a casual quick bite it's perfect.
