Salsa on the Rock Fresh Mexican Grill

Sabrina Rivera

We had spent the day outdoors venturing the Garden of the Gods & Manitou Springs when a serious craving for Mexican food kicked in. Me, my boyfriend & sister decided to pop by this restaurant and let me tell you, we will 100% be back anytime we are in town. First, we were seated quickly on the outside patio (dog friendly) which was great. Second, the service was lovely (attentive but not over bearing) and the food was DELICIOUS!! We moved here from Texas where there is no shortage of Mexican restaurants and I was truly impressed. We all ordered different dishes and shared and let me tell you, not one plate had anything remaining when we were done. The food was flavorful, had a great kick to it, came out fresh, and satisfied our craving better than we could have imagined. Excited to go back and try some new dishes. Check it out!

So let's start with the food. It was AMAZING! Each bite explodes with flavor. The presentation is good too. When you first come in you get some chips and 2 salsas with a small bowl of tomatoes. There's a brownish one that's not spicy, but smokey and delicious. Then there's a pineapple habanero one that is extremely spicy! (That one is the one in the picture.) I got the Fajitas Combo and it comes with chicken and steak. They also make their own tomato sauce. They both burst into a delicious flavorful symphony in your mouth! The lemonade is also really good. It's not too sweet and not too sour. The details that they put in the decorations for the restaurant are so beautiful. It made me feel like I was in a tropical paradise for a second. When I came it was around Christmas time and they played Christmas Carol's and they somehow made them sound kinda tropical. I would definitely come here again.

When my In laws ask where we want to eat in the springs my go to is always salsa on the rock. The food is great service is great. I always get the pineapple martini with the extra little shaker, not overly sweet and so great. The best thing on the menu in my opinion is the pick two fajitas and I get the steak and Portobello the steak is always super tender and it’s a beautiful combo! Will be back again and again!

Amazing vegan options! I had the portobello fajitas and they were delicious! The staff is so friendly, the atmosphere is so relaxed, and my food came out quickly! Their drink menu is so fun I had the Freckled Parrot and it is the perfect boozy lemonade!
