Great food for a fair price 9/17/2004

Ate there for the first time tonight based on recommendations below. The price is about 10-15% more than Rubio's or Wahoo's, but the quality of the food is about 40-50% better. Real avocados, when was the last time you saw that in a quasi fast-food mexican joint? About as authentic of mexican food as you can get in south Orange County, compares head-to-head with Taco Mesa. It's just too bad they only have one location. Pros: Food, Plenty of seating more

Get off the 73! 2/12/2004

Saltwater Grill is a diamond in the rough! In the midst of strip malls and all that we dread about the suburbs, this little restaurant is a gem. I wouldn't even classify it as ""Mexican"" fare. The menu includes creative and unique recipes based on our beloved favorites such as tamales and tacos, but this is DEFINITELY not your La Salsa or Rubios! The ambiance is fresh and inviting, and as a diner, you feel like you're really valued, as food is delivered and served piping hot and with care, as you enjoy the hip, fun, lunch atmosphere, or the cozy, yet bustling dinner. You'll love the fun, vintage touches mixed with the modern, clean decor! Definitely worth getting off the 73! Pros: easy, great value, quality food more

Saltwater scores 2/11/2004

My dining experience at Saltwater Mexican Grill was great. The food was awesome, a few notched above your basic mexican food, sort of like mexican food grows up. The decor doesn't fall into the average mexican restaurant either, but hey, this isn't your ""typical"" mexican restaurant. The guy taking my order was covered in tatoos, but very nice & accomodating. Sort of adds to the whole experience. The prices are slightly higher, but I feel the value is there. Overall, a great experience. I would return again. Pros: great food more
