Salsarita’s Express

This place sucks especially the white manager guy. they charge 8 bucks for a regular size bowl and the quantity is amazingly less and gone guy was extremely rude .he was trying to save as many salsa and other veggies as e could… DISSAppointed

Still sick. Do not eat here unless you want to puke your brains out 7 hours later. The food looked old and I should’ve known better and now I am paying dearly for it.

Short and simple here: the food was hot, the selection was good, and the line moved quickly. Noting about this place is authentic or gourmet, but it worked for killing time on a layover. Solid airport food.

Airport breakfast is a tricky thing. If you have time for a proper breakfast you either A) are on an international or red eye layover or B) you do not like sleep and really like your breakfast dining in airports.
Personally I like to maximize pillow time so my breakfast needs to be quick and efficient without sending me to the airplane bathroom and subsequent apologetic walk of shame past those poor souls forced to sit near said bathroom.
Salsarita’s delivers on the food without delivering to my airplane companions. The food is quick and clean. The service is cordial and polite. The smiling faces here give me the feeling that all is well with the world — and if I have an extra ten minutes to take my Salsarita’s to the rocking chairs — their analysis is certainly correct.
When passing through CLT — consider Salsarita’s. BK, Quizno’s and Cinnabun may be known entities — but it’s time to think outside the tortilla!

Located in the E terminal around gate 20.
I hate eating greesy heavy fast food when traveling, it just makes me feel bad. So when traveling with my husband and 2 children this is where we ate.
We are huge Moe’s (also fast tex mex) fans and this place was pretty close. We got 2 small buritos (one veg and one chicken) and a cheese quesadia. It cost $ 18.00 plus some change. So a bit pricy, but the quality is much better than other fast food options. My 5 year old ate her entire burrito and my 8 year old her quesadia. They were both a bit hungry afterwards. I shared with my husbad and it was enough to take off the edge, but that’s all.
The woman in front of us was one of those problem customers and she slowed the line way down so I’m not sure if they are slow normally or if they were hampered by the previous customer.
They have burritos, tacos, quesadias, and bowls. The selection of meats is standard. The vegetarian option is just veggies (no tofu). The salsa selection was nice and the ingredients whiel not fresh fresh were tasty. Salt content was pretty good.
If I’m ever in Charlott again I would eat here again, unless I was trying to make a tight connection.

Had the bacon breakfast burrito. Looked horrible when they were «assembling» it. Should have walked away.
Tasted like it looked

Vegan option when stuck in the airport
Since I was given a bonus 8 hours in the airport I ran out of food I had packed and saw that this place had several items that could be made vegan. I agree with the other posters, kind of bland, even with the fresh cilantro and medium salsa and jalapenos. They kind of skimped on the veggies which was annoying since I ordered a veggie burrito. But the staff was friendly and pretty fast. If abandoned by my airline again here I would probably eat here again since for airport food it was not as outrageous in price as one usually experienced, but will not seek them out when I have actual options. Frankly, I really only ate here because they had something vegan and was annoyed at being at the airport for so long.

This place has no idea how to make a burrito. As soon as I started trying to eat it everything exploded everywhere and made a huge mess in the airport

Pretty bad attempt at quick TeX/​Mex … Ingredients overall lacked flavor everything came from a can and my tacos were served cold. Sad.

It was OK. Chicken was a bit dry. Salsa was tasty. Friendly service. Cheaper than other Mexican options.

Not bad, not great. The better realization here folks might be that those who eat fast food think fast food is awesome. Those that came in with 5 star expectations who ate at a fine steakhouse last night will have their hope crushed. Expectations people.
I’d personally suggest to come in with zero expectations, possibly on a Thursday because you get a free beverage with a taco salad. Just enough food to hold me and another Unilocaler over til we arrive home later.
You could always downgrade a notch and try out burger kings mystery meat next door?
Good luck Mexican foodies!

This is just another one of the many burrito and taco restaurant that are similar to moes or Chipotle. Overall it is probably not that exceptional. However for being in an airport the prices are pretty good and the food is decent. I got a bowl there for about $ 8.

Typical airport food, was not expecting anything special when eating here. The customer service was great, very attentive employees and quick. The food quality was average, but at least it was not extra for guacamole. Overall a decent place to grab a quick bite before the plane ride.

After a night spent in the airport, my dad and I were on the hunt for something decent to eat. We decided to try Salsarita’s because the line was short, the prices were fair for airport food and the food looked fresh. Overall, it was an alright experience.
I got a breakfast burrito with egg, bacon, lettuce etc. and it was good. Apparently, they don’t usually warm up the burritos because when I asked one of the ladies she said they only do that for quesadillas. My dad got a quesadilla and I had to watch as his was done to perfection. Luckily, another server offered to warm mine up. She was without a doubt the friendliest person I met on that trip, and thank goodness for that because based on the experiences I had in the NC Airport, I would not want to visit the city.

Meh, bland food and a # 2 between the two other vendors in terminal E

This was my first visit to a Salsarita’s Express. I got a big portion for the price I paid and it was decent food. I ordered the steak tacos and they allow you to decide what toppings you want on the steak. I also tried the hot salsa and chip which were good.

It’s Mexican-​American fast food in an airport’s food court. With places like these, you can already know what to expect before you even order. Salsarita’s was good to me, however, and it got the job of filling my stomach done pretty well. I would personally be more interested in what the other restaurants of the airport have to offer during my next trip, but I had a good quick lunch here and can’t complain.
In terms of quality, this is perhaps a notch or two below Chipotle. I ordered a large burrito bowl for $ 7.89 and sure enough, it was all the normal contents of a burrito served in a black plastic bowl instead. Possibly because all this food was spread out rather than compacted into a tortilla, there seemed to be more food in here than what you would find in an ordinary burrito. I still can’t tell whether that bowl created the illusion of more food.
The rest of my family ordered a chicken nacho for $ 7.79. This whole thing was apparently enough to satisfy three people somehow. Probably the inclusion of rice and black beans helped to make these nachos more filling. The prices here were low, and we got all the food we needed for lunch before we had to hurry to catch our flight to Fort Lauderdale, Florida. This food is by no means award-​winning, but it’s appropriate for an airport like this one.

I was hungry. But I’m disappointed in Salsarita’s. So the employees were not very keen on friendliness but it’s an airport so I get it. And I guess this place thinks that steak is the same thing as pot roast? That’s what my steak quesadilla tasted like. Yay for free refills on drinks, but if you’re looking to satisfy your hunger, pass this place up.

Bland airport Mexican food that doesn’t satisfy your Mexi-​cravings, but will fill you up. It seems sort of like Chipotle’s crappy little brother. I got a large (the normal size at Chipotle) burrito with chicken that was unevenly chopped (some pieces were morsels and some could barely fit in my mouth), flavorless rice, pico de gallo, corn, onions, cilantro, lettuce, and a «little bit of sour cream.» In addition to throwing things onto the tortilla as if they were filled with all the hate and scorn of someone who has just missed a flight and been re-​booked into a middle seat that doesn’t recline, they threw in a huge gob of sour cream.
The one thing they have over Chipotle is the option to have cilantro and chopped onions. How come Chipotle doesn’t have that?
Surly service + mediocre (but certainly edible) food + cilantro & chopped onions = 2 stars

The gal I dealt with glared at me. Like she dared me to waste her precious time with my stupid order. Then she literally threw the contents of my tacos together and slid them down the line.
I give low ratings to businesses that throw my food.
