Cafe Salsa -a feeding ground for bovine America
1 Star Rating: Not Recommended

06/20/2008 Posted by jimmycassata

I can't help but wonder why people would keep a restaurant like Cafe Salsa in business. Food can be an art, and there is plenty of education on our food networks that is available to shelter the masses from culinary ignorance. This food at Cafe Salsa is hackneyed and uninspired, just like so many places like Santiago's and Casa Margarita in La Grange. Don't you restaurant owners have any self respect? don't you want to attach your name to cuisine, and not just mass-market tasteless grub that one shoves down his throat. I wouldn't want my name associated with a place like Cafe Salsa for all the money in the world. What is wrong with you people? Be a little bit more daring and adventurous. Cut back on the oil, and apply some creativity. When i go out I want an experience, not dull and unimaginative food that i could make in my own home in under 10 minutes. Comon' guys, step it up! Mexican cuisine has a rich and diverse history. Places like Cafe Salsa are a mockery of the great tradition of Mexican cooking. Come back Salbute!

Cons: typical, boring, and fatty Mexican fare
