Baja Fish Burrito at La Salsa

La Salsa is harmless. Spicephobes have nothing at all to fear from their cooking when it comes out of the kitchen, although as the name implies there is a large selection of salsas that can be added later on. The chicken or steak burritos with rice and beans are bland and solid, appealing every so often as a sort of comfort food. This is not a destination eatery in a city well-equiped with good taquerias.

However, I found myself at La Salsa recently in a rush to grab a snack before going to the airport. I expected to get the usual flavorless food pellet, but to my surprise the Baja Fish Burrito really wasn't bad. The fish was moist with a good flavor and the Baja sauce showed evidence of actual spices, moistening the fish without being glorpy or overwhelming. The mango salsa from the bar is a nice addition, blending nicely with the fish.
