Had dinner last night with 3 friends at Salpicon. Everything from the reservationist to the valet was exceptional. The food had flavors I never imagined possible! We all ordered different items. We started with the shrimp with 2 different salsas, the jalapenos stuffed with cheese and served with a black bean sauce and a special of squash blossoms stuffed with crab and avocado (delicios!!) Entrees were lamb loin chops with a garlic and pasilla chili sauce, Salmon with a tomatillo sauce, grilled quail with a mole sauce, and a super-tender beef tenderloin with a spicy chili sauce. Everything was perfectly cooked and very well presented. Service was attentive and professional, but not hovering. If you think the list of tequilas is impressive, just open the wine list! No fewer than 12 countries represented with excellent wines in each price category. This is a one of a kind restaurant!
Pros: food, service, take reservations
Cons: very popular, crowded at peak times, not good for kids
