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.
