I live in Nashville and came into town for a friends wedding. I was not expecting much when my wife and I stumbled upon Salsa - we were just walking down the street looking for a quick bite. She and I were both blown away by the unique flavors and creative menu. It was a real treat! We have been back twice since, and even plan detours when we are within an hour or so. I highly recommend this restaurant.

They're using some memorable ingredients and spices in the dishes as Salsa's. So unique it's not like anything I've had -- a cross between Jamacian and South American food -- it definitely is a Latin flare....
