Excellent Mexican food!!!

by GloriaMueller

After living in Houston, Tx for over 8 years I can honestly say that this is the best mexican cuisine my husband and I have ever tried. We went in at 3:30 pm on a Saturday. We had excellent service, attentive and prompt. Our drinks were refilled regularly. We came in with a party of 5 and everyone tried something different and everything was so flavorful. Kudos to the owners and chef! We highly recommend!!!

• Pros: Flavor, service and amount of food served
• Cons: Having to pay for extra chips & salsa

Go anywhere else

My girlfriend and I usually go to El Parian for Mexican food, but it was closed last night, so we went to Salena's. The service was very friendly (if slow), and the atmosphere was nice. That's about all I can say to the positive.

There was very little vegetarian selection (not even fajitas), it was about twice as expensive as any other Mexican restaurant in Rochester, and the taste of the food simply doesn't compare. The Margaritas are expensive ($6/glass, $18/half-pitcher) and a bit strange tasting (no sour mix).

As long as there are any other Mexican options in town, I probably won't go back.

• Pros: Friendly service, outdoor seating, has a bar
• Cons: Expensive, not tasty, poor vegetarian selection, slow service

love it, especially our favorite waiter, Mischa

I can't decide what I like best about Salena's - the best waiter, Mischa, who brings out my sweet potato fries before I even ask, and always remembers the wine I like, the cute bartender who makes a great Margurita, or the most fabulous sweet potato fries in their own chipolte sauce that you will ever ever taste. My friends who know Mexican say it's the best in Rochester - friendly atmosphere, great food and nice people!
