The food is super delicious and the portions are more than generous. Highly recommend to anyone driving through Flagstaff. I can't wait to enjoy another meal here again. BRAVO Brenden!!!! ”
“ This place was AMAZING! The service was STELLAR. The chimichangas were delicious and we really enjoyed the 3 different salsa they gave us with our chips. The fried ice cream was the best we’ve ever had. Definitely recommend this restaurant for yummy Mexican food! ”
“ Chips and salsa were so good! The food was amazing! The waiter was great, we always had full drinks and didn't have to flag him down for anything. We even ended up having desert, the sopapillas were perfect even though we took them to go! You know the service was great when you leave a 25% tip these days! WE WILL RETURN! ”
“ We were a group of 4 and our server was Emilee I guess! Or at least that’s what it said on the receipt. We had some specific vegetarian dietary restrictions and not only did our server confer with the kitchen staff to tell us what all could work for us, but also assured that our items would be cooked separately and not have any cross contamination. She was a godsend! The mango salsa with chips were gobsmacking delicious Portobello Fajitas were okay Pink lemonade was nice Grilled veggie taco were okay Quesadilla was fantastic Watermelon limeade was nice Chocolate mousse was decent ”
“ Gordito is a good meal to order. It's the biggest meal in the restaurant and you can share with 2-3 people. The place has a good vibe with music and tematic decorations. I highly recommend coming here, but this is not the cheapest restaurant in Flagstaff. There are spaces for large groups and the staff is friendly. Spicy food you can easily find here, take care of how much spicy you ask for, hahahahaha ”
“ It's my final night in Flagstaff and so far on this road trip I haven't ordered Mexican food. "Salsa Brava" was prominently and favorably featured on Guy Fieri 's "Diners, Dives and Drive-Throughs". I had skipped lunch and had spent most of the day at the Grand Canyon, so I was really hungry. I ordered Fajitas Magnifico, which has shrimp, skirt steak and grilled chicken with carmelized onions, green and red peppers. It comes with Spanish rice and refried beans. All entrees come with one complimentary basket of tortilla chips with 3 types of salsa. I also had iced tea. Since it was Saturday evening, the place was packed. I sat at the bar. I received excellent service from Mando. When I asked for a business card for my scrapbook and told them I came all the way from San Antonio because of Guy Fieri 's review, I received a kind word and a handshake from the Assistant General Manager Mitchell Castricone. ”
“ Delish! Fantastic food and the portion sizes are massive. The homemade Key Lime Pie is the most amazing slice of heaven I have ever had. Dense, limey, homemade graham cracker crust and fresh made whipped cream. I'm taking half of it home because it is so big. ”
“ Salsa Brava in Flagstaff is a gem for anyone craving authentic Mexican food in a relaxed, welcoming setting. From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere was vibrant with traditional music and a laid-back vibe. The service was friendly and fast, making us feel right at home. The complimentary chips and salsas were absolutely addictive—bursting with flavor and impossible to stop eating. The cold beer paired perfectly with our hot meals. We tried the lunch special with an extra fish taco, as well as the asada taco meal with carnitas, and everything was fresh, flavorful, and satisfying. The meats were tender, well-seasoned, and the produce was clearly fresh. We’ll definitely be coming back! ”
