Consisitently NUMERO UNO! – Salpicon is consistently WONDERFULl! We always feel happy and proud to show Salpicon off to visiting relatives and business associates (my husband eats out for business 3-4 days a week). The food is creative, beautiful and most importantly TASTY! The servers are very well-trained, professional and genuinely friendly. The wine list is a treasure trove of delights (with both great bargains and hard to find gems). If you're into tequila you will find their selections both numerous and diverse. Salpic... read more

Great food, but what an attitude! – This is the kind of restaurant I would love to love--chef-owned, small and nonsmoking (hooray!), but the place is noisy (!), and staff could use some attitude adjustment: they really don't like it if you don't order expensive tequilas, wine, etc.--and they let you know it. Too bad, because Salpicon has a lot going for it and the food really is excellent.

Not good and expensive – Heard good things. Not many choices on the menu appealed to me. And no one in our party really enjoyed what they got. Nor did we enjoy the bill. One thing though...good gaucamole

Halibut Enchiladas – Excellent everything. Extensive winelist ranging from great values to rare bottles, and even a list of tequilas. Not the typical burrito menu - wonderful grilled fish dishes, the halibut enchilada appetizer is a must try when it's included in the specials. The filet is great, too. Salpicon is a pleasure, my favorite place.

Fantastico – Salpicon offers everything that the professional side of Mexico City has to offer. That's right, Salpicon is true latin cusine. Besides having the freshest selection of fish dishes, they also have the largest selection of tequila around. Excellent host that truly leveraged their culinary experiences of Mexico. Do not come here if you are just looking for a burrito or fajitas. Sorry charlie that's southwestern.

FIRST CLASS! – Had dinner last night with 3 friends. Food was amazing (especially the quail in chile sauce, tuna with red papaya sauce and mango and the pear and mango cobbler! Service was friendly, professional and very knowledgable. Our waiter recommended a delicious Austrian Riesling that complemented everything well. The wine list is spectacular (their selection of Alsatian wines was over 100 (watch out Everest!) This is a one of a kind restaurant that I would recommend in a heartbeat!! Thank you Salpicon!

2nd Trip as good as the 1st – My second trip to Salpicon proved to be as good as the first. I love the small size of this restaurant and the colorful decor. Don't miss the grilled tiger shrimp as an appetizer. I had the shrimp for dinner since it is also offered as an entree. Wonderful desserts as well and our waitress was extremely knowledgeable about each dish on the menu as well as which wines to complement the dishes.
