| - Salsarita's is such a rip off! I went for the first time in a long time because they sent me a free chips & queso offer. They've just gotten so expensive. Regular sized entrees are now $7.49 and the small entrees are $6.49. It's just a dollar difference and the small vs regular sized burrito bowl has a significant size difference so worth the extra dollar for regular size. I got a regular sized veggie burrito bowl for $8.10 after tax. $7.49 is expensive for fast casual assembly style Mexican considering competitors Moe's, Chipotle, & Qdoba are either cheaper or the same price but offer more than Salsarita's. At all three of those other places they give you free guacamole if you get a vegetarian entree. Not at Salsarita's! It's ridiculous. Guac should be free on vegetarian entrees. I'd be more willing to pay the $7.49 if I get free guac in that price. Salsarita's prices used to be slightly cheaper and I do remember I used to get free guac on my veggie entree. I only went today because of that free chips & queso offer I had. I won't ever go there without an offer and pay regular price, especially since there are a couple other cheaper lunch spots in the area including Anita's Mexican Grill and Hibachi Express. Anita's down the street has a great Speedy Gonzalez combo (taco, enchilada, & rice) for $5.25. Filling and cheaper than Salsarita's! I believe Salsarita's is only getting good business because there aren't a whole lot of lunch options in this business park area. I hope they're aware that people aren't actually paying these high regular prices for lunch because they think it's a good deal. It's just because they don't have many other options. We'll see what happens with their prices once the Chipotle, Firehouse Subs, & Panera open up down the street. I'll only go back to Salsarita's for their $6 burrito or burrito bowl special on Mondays, which is a special I just found out about today. $6 is reasonable, not $7.49. $7.49 is getting into sit down Mexican restaurant price point territory. Salsarita's, please remember that you're a fast casual restaurant, not sit down. A price of $6.99 for regular entrees would be a lot better.
