I ate in the old location frequently, and loved it. I had heard bad things about the new location, but figured I would give it a chance anyhow. It was pathetic.
The portions have been cut, and the burrito was nowhere near as good as it used to be. There was no option to have it outside of a 'dinner', so it cost $9.50 before tax. That price would have been high if the food was good, but it was terrible, and so the price was just insulting.
The rice was undercooked. The salad was repulsive -- no dressing, and vegetables that definitely were not fresh. To complement the bean burrito there was... a serving of cold black beans. These came straight from the can and onto my plate, so far as I can tell. The burrito was more or less cold by the time it hit my table. The bottom of it was unpleasantly crunchy -- totally unlike the old Salsateria burritos.
Moral: jacking up your prices and lowering your quality to pay for your huge new location is not cool.
Avoid.
I went to the University of Guelph for 4 years and that when I discovered and grew to love this restaurant. They made it every early Saturday morning to the Farmers Market so locals could sample their goods. Sooo tasty, authentic, nothing processed here!
I still make sure to go by the Salsateria every time I'm in or passing through Guelph and have passed on positive word of mouth, creating big fans here in Niagara!
I do not feel the new location deserves the bad press everyone is posting.
Viva Salsateria!!!

I stopped in thinking I'd order my regular jerk chicken to go, but then decided against it and had a sit-down meal. For $15 I had the dig-in downtown lunch which included soup, salad, main course and dessert. The main course was beef in a wrap that was amazing. I thought it was going to be ground beef, but was pleasantly surprised with the quality of roast beef in the meal. The portions were more than adequate and I had to bring my dessert home with me.
I would most definitely refer others to Salsateria!
I was so incredibly disappointed with this place...
I was so incredibly disappointed with this place today.
I usually run to Salsateria on my lunch break. Their old location on Cork st was
wonderful, because I could get there, and
back with time to eat my lunch back at my office.
Today though, when I go there, there was a sign saying that it was closed for renovations.
I then rushed to the new location, and ordered a jerk chicken wrap with chips and salsa to go. I had to ask how long it would be, and it was going to be 10 minutes, because they now heat everything, instead of microwaving. I had stupidly already paid (otherwise I would have left), and I had to ask for it to be microwaved instead.
When I got back to my office, I discovered that they have changed their chips, no longer the corn ones, but cheap tasting, oily and thin, and I got less than ten of them. The salsa tasted normal, but the chips were really, really disappointing.
Further more, when I cut open my jerk chicken wrap, I made the mistake of actually looking at the chicken. It looked gross, like it was of low quality. I forced myself to eat it, because there was no time for me to go and get something else. I feel really sick now.
I agree with someone else about the new recipe for the jerk chicken, why fix it if it wasn't broke. I feel like that sentement could be extended to the entire place. It was good, and it was yummy and FAST, but no more.
Did I mention that it was $9.00????
Not worth the money and the effort.
I will never go back again.
