  • Both items that were ordered were good in terms of taste. After a long time we went to a spanish place to eat. We where visiting Guelph and decided to eat here. Its a very small place which seems to remind of hippy times with the way they have presented themselves - peace and expression.

  • Order: Chipotle Chicken Wrap, Antohitos

  • I have lived in Guelph for 12 years and Salsateria is still my favorite.

    Lets talk Nachos: Fresh and crispy, cilantro salsa, creamy pamento sauce. Honestly the best thing I have ever tasted in Guelph.
    I usually order the Jerk chicken, and over the years it has changed in size and price, but the excellent taste hasn't changed a bit.
    Now it is a very generous portion and they always make it with just the right heat for me, Ha Ha Ha!
    They have this spiced juice I can't think of the name of it, but it is the perfect drink on a warm summer day.
    The staff is always very attentive and they always get your order right.

    I love to get salsa for take home too, I could basically live off that stuff!

    Also, the wrap combo is amazing. For $10.00 I got a very satisfying meal.

  • While I prefer offerings from Toronto (unfair), Salsateria burritos and offerings are great for the area and especially welcome to me at say, 2am. But sometimes based on who is working they can be great, or lacking.

    When they moved to a sit down restaurant where Cafe Aquarius used to be, the meals were decent but not phenomenal, and the location wasn't helpful.

    They've since moved back into a take-out location and also expanded into Van Gogh's bar section for breakfast/lunch and I'm glad they did.

    After living in guelph for 6 years and going out for breakfast most weekend, I have to say salsateria is my favorite place in Guelph/Kitchener-Waterloo/Cambridge

    It's a change from the usual eggs/bacon trip, and it tastes great.
    The only disappointing thing someone in our group got was quessadillas (they were just cheese? there's another one that must be better..), which weren't from the breakfast menu so we immediately chastised our friend when they were unhappy.

    I've had everything on the breakfast menu at this point and I have not been disappointed once. And the coffee is good.

    You can go stand in line at Egg-Cetera for the usual or you can go have something great and get a table at any time.The booths are super comfortable.

    I live in Kitchener and drive to guelph to go. case closed

  • Food is good but the service is slow. They have expanded their business without adding more staff. The staff work hard, but they only had 2 people in the kitchen for the restaurant and 1 for the take out. It took 30 minutes at the take out location to get a cheese quesadilla.

  • Order: cheese quesadilla

  • This is a great take out establishment in guelph. Their burritos & quesadillas are amazing. The flavors in their toppings are delicious. Its a bit pricey, but worth the treat every once and a while.

  • Order: chicken burrito, vege burrito, chicken quesadilla, nachos

  • I ordered a chicken burrito to go. It was hot and pretty tasty. It's no Quesada (a chain, which I love) but it was better than I expected. I didn't notice at the time, but I think Scott M is right - the woman taking the cash did make the food without washing - ick! Makes me less likely to return, even though the burrito was pretty good.

  • Food was ok, however the only thing that is holding me back from ever coming here again was the fact that the girl behind the cash took our money and then went to prepare our food without washing her hands. Gross. We watched her continue to do the same to others after us as well. Not very sanitary at all.

  • Order: Wrap

  • The food here is great, no doubt, and I'm glad that the Salsateria is alive and (sorta) kicking.

    I was really disappointed that the actual, sit-down restaurant folded after, what, two weeks? While I don't mind coming in for take-out, it would be nice to have a good, sit-down meal with a beer to wash it down. As it is now, you practically get elbowed in the ribs by the take-out crowd.

    Great food - latin type dishes are a rarity in Guelph - I just wish the concept would grow up a bit....

  • Be aware that Salsateria has moved (again) is now back to it's roots: great food!
    those are the roots, there's nothing unnecessary here, just terrific fast take out food, modelled on Burrito Bros Toronto, with a Chilean twist.
    there are 3 barstools if you stay, with ever-present music.
    new location is about 10 doors East (left) of the old 33 Macdonnell location.
    there is a new phone # as well.
    i get a meal at least once a week, most highly recommended.
