A deep fried burrito stuffed with cheese, salsa and chicken. I liked the crisp from the crunchy wrap, albeit a little too oily together with the cheese. The tomatoes added a refreshing tanginess to the smoky chicken. Topped with creamy guacamole, I enjoyed the contrast in textures and it helped to balance the rich flavours within the burrito. 😌 Very flavourful and filling! 😋
CHU (true) love found at @lasalsasingapore with their CHUrros! 😍😍😍 Being someone with a sweet tooth, churros is something that I really enjoy but honestly, not many does it well. I’m secretly contemplating on whether to keep this good find for myself 😋 but I shan’t be selfish! 👌🏻

Being one of the most classic Mexican desserts, La Salsa has not let the Mexicans down. 💯 Featuring deep-fried flour dough sticks sprinkled generously with cinnamon sugar, served with chocolate 🍫 or butterscotch sauce, their rendition ($14++) was certainly a notch above the rest! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
.
Fried to the perfect crisp on the exterior while remaining really fluffy & chewy inside, these were simply heavenly! 🤤🤤🤤 The sugar-cinnamon coat rendered it an irresistible treat with its full-blown sweetness & spice. 💕
.
It is of no wonder why this is their ever popular dessert & I dare say it’s the perfect way to end the meal! ❤ Come try it for yourself cuz it’s CHUly amazing! 👍🏻
The options are pretty pricey for someplace that serves relatively average Mexican food. The pork was slightly tough, and the burrito was just alright. Perhaps we ordered the wrong stuff, but it’s unlikely I’ll return again.
Crispy toasted taco skin, just the right amount of acidity from the sour cream to balance the dish!
Cheese filled tortilla skin to satisfy any cravings u have!

Food is really good - in particular the tiger prawn chimichanga is a must try! The prawn is juicy and sweet. The osso busso is really tender and tasty for beef lovers.
We also tried the Birra, a cheese based taco, which was a unique experience, the birra is best to be shared with other dishes!
Will definitely be back to try more dishes, everything on the menu sounded interesting! Portions for all dishes are generous.
The friendly service crew and pretty murals set a great tone for dinner!
When you mention Mexican food, there are a few classics that comes to mind but one of my favourites would have to be tortilla CHIPS! 🤩🤩🤩 Just a plate of these crunchy munchies paired with some tangy salsa 🍅 & creamy guacamole 🥑 will be so heavenly!
.
The Queso Fundido ($19++) here at @lasalsasingapore has given a whole new lease of life to the corn chips! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 Despite being a vegetarian option, I’ve come to realise why this is so popular among other diners! ❤ Featuring mozzarella cheese balls in a tomatillo sauce, there is nothing to not love about this dish!
.
The cheese balls 🧀 were lightly breaded & fried to the perfect golden brown, donning a nice crisp coat while revealing a stretchy & creamy inside that retains a nice chew. 🤤🤤🤤 I’m guessing they used Jalapeno peppers 🌶 in the tomatillo sauce so it does have quite a bit of spicy kick but it was certainly shiok (satisfying)! 🔥 The richness in its flavours got me going for more dips with the tortilla chips! 💕
.
Certainly a great starter to the meal! 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻
Fantastic service from the crew although they seems to be experiencing technical issues and it almost became dining in the dark.

Margarita is on the pricier side at $19. It's alright. Not too sweet.
We ordered the Grilled Pork Ribs ($36), grilled chicken ($26), Churros ($14) and Signature Margarita ($19).
-
We were recommended the Grilled Chicken, it has a nice smokey grilled taste but nothing very special about it or the sauce.
Love the churros! Super crunchy on the outside but soft, flurry and hot on the inside. They were kind to give us two portion of the sauce as we have differing taste.
We ordered the Grilled Pork Ribs ($36), grilled chicken ($26), Churros ($14) and Signature Margarita ($19).

Grilled Pork Ribs were very soft and tender and falls off the ribs easily, accompanied by smokey bbq sauce. Definitely a must try.
An absolutely divine Spanish flan - smooth as silk with a hint of cardamom and cinammon made special the La Salsa’s way.
3 soft corn tortillas filled with your choice of meat, baked in Southern Mexican style and covered with our very own homemade sauce topped with melted cheese. Served with refried beans.
Chimichangas are deep fried with a crispy tortilla crunch, a moist savoury filling of your choice, stuffed together with cheddar cheese and pico de gallo. Served with guacamole, crema and salsa.
Prawns and scallops marinated in lime juice with onions, tomatoes, cilantro and Mexican chili.
Corn chips with melted cheese and choice of meat, sprinkled with cotija cheese, jalapeños and pico de gallo.
Besides the classic tacos, top on the list for Mexican must-haves at @lasalsasingapore is Chimichangas, which are essentially deep-fried burritos! 🌯 Featuring fried tortilla wraps with savoury fillings of your choice, stuffed together with cheddar cheese 🧀 & pico de gallo (fresh salsa 🍅), this is bound to be a delight. We tried the Cerdo (shredded pork, $22++) and this was my FAVOURITE dish of the night! ❤❤❤
.
The deep-fried tortilla was perfectly executed, rendering a crispy exterior without being overly greasy. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 It kind of resembled a buttery pie crust to me, except it is less flaky. 😋 The shredded pork 🐖 was sufficiently succulent & well-marinated - certainly enchanting! 💕
.
Layering of taste & textures was on point - the meats were also kept moist by the creamy savoury cheese 🧀 & crunchy refreshing salsa 🍅. Served with guacamole 🥑, crema & salsa on top, I’m sure this will be the crowd’s favourite on every table! 💯💯💯
.
Other options for fillings include braised beef 🐄 ($24), shredded chicken 🐓 ($22), tiger prawns 🦐 ($24) & mixed vegetables 🥬 ($20), which I believe will be equally amazing! 😉
Honestly speaking, I’ve never been a fan of ceviche as not many do it well, with the fishy taste or smell of the raw fish 🐟 being too overpowering. However, this vegetarian rendition at @lasalsasingapore eased my worries as raw fish is omitted but tasted equally delightful as an appetizer! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
.
This Ceviche de Vegetales ($15++) features a good mix of pinto beans, roasted corn 🌽, avocado 🥑, smoked bell peppers & tomatoes 🍅 in a verde marinade. Loved how the guacamole added a nice creamy texture to the crunchy vegetables 💚, with the slightly earthy & nutty aroma of soft pinto beans feeling my mouth after the burst of natural sweetness from the veg. 😋😋😋
.
The verde marinade lends a slight herby flavour & I’m guessing green chillies/peppers 🌶 were used too as it contains quite some heat that will might get your tongue on fire. 🔥 However, this also really worked well in whetting my appetite for the upcoming dishes! 🤤🤤🤤
.
A little squeeze of lime juice added a tangy zest, uplifting it into an absolutely refreshing starter. 👍🏻 Certainly scored well on presentation & layering of textures - pretty enjoyable! 💕
It is life’s pleasure to be enjoying a cup of cocktail or mocktail at @lasalsasingapore! 💯 Away from the hustle & bustle of the city, the outdoor serene environment exudes a really chill vibe that allows one to throw away all troubles momentarily & just have a good time here! 🏖
.
Switch things up if you want some vibrant energy & electrifying ambience - just head indoors for their live band performances 🎸🎹, available every Fridays & Saturdays from 9.15pm onwards, with different acts weekly! 👏🏻
.
They have a wide selection of cocktails so feel free to take your pick! 💕 Among the House Favourites, we tried the White Sangria ($19++), which features sparkling wine, pisco, apple liquer, cucumber, green apple 🍏 & mint. 🍸
.
Donning an alluring golden coat is their Passionfruit Paloma ($16++), comprising Jose Cuervo Gold, passionfruit puree & grapefruit soda. 🥃 As with any other Havana bars, they do not go easy on their alcoholic content so you need not be worried about the quality of their drinks here! 👌🏻
.
If you’re not a fan of alcohol just like me, their mocktail selection is bound to please you just as much! 😋😋😋 In a passionate bold red, Virgin Margarita ($12++) will please you with its rich fruity flavours which appears to be predominantly strawberries 🍓, though it also has lime, lychee & mango. 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻 Their Snow White ($12++) made of lychee, mint leaves & simple syrup was reminiscent of mojito but with a whiff of fragrance from the sweet lychee. 💚
.
📢GOOD DEAL!📢 Every Thursday, 3 selected house favourites (rotational) will be priced at only $12++ instead of their normal prices (~$16-19++)! ✌🏻
.
Time to head down with your family & friends and wind down at @lasalsasingapore! ❤
The weekend is gone & Monday is here once again! 😅 It’s ok - I’m sending you some positive vibes with the vibrancy of food at LA Salsa! 😍😍😍
.
Nestled in the quaint Dempsey Hill is @lasalsasingapore, serving up an extensive variety of Latin-American cuisine. 🌈 Besides the all-time favourite Mexican dishes, there have since ventured into dishes with Cuban/Spanish/Brazilian influences to please the ever-changing palates of diners so you can always look forward to their new menus! 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻
.
Their Osso Buco ($30++) is a classic example of the chef’s spin-off on a traditional Italian dish. 💕 Typically braised with vegetables, white wine & broth, La Salsa’s rendition is prepared in a Latin way - in red wine tomato 🍅 sauce that is absolutely robust in flavours! 🤤🤤🤤
.
The many hours of slow cooking yields a hearty & tender beef shank 🥩 that you can easily sink your teeth into & does not require much jaw power to chew. ✌🏻 The generous amount of roasted baby potatoes 🥔 completes the picture, making this a really satisfying & filling meal. 😋😋😋
.
Stay tuned for more reviews of other mouth-watering dishes that La Salsa has to offer! 👌🏻 Thank you Sonia & team at @lasalsasingapore for the hospitality & great food! ❤❤❤
Costillas Adobadas ($35)
.
The Chile rubbed pork ribs @lasalsasingapore were well flavoured and carried a nice smoky char. It would@have been perfect if the ribs were a bit more moist or fatty the way I love my ribs.
.
Thank you @burpple for the invitation to this eat-up and @lasalsasingapore for the hospitality.
