Went into this new Salsa's restaurant in the Epping shopping centre after seeing their sign for $2.50 tacos on Tuesdays. The restaurant is quite spacious compared to most other Salsa's venues which tend to be located in the food court of shopping centers. As a chain restaurant they have a set menu so I knew what to expect in advance. The food took a while to arrive, which I attributed to the newness of this location, but the place also seemed to lack the "hustle" you usually find at these franchises. The food was warm, flavourful and filling - I had the chicken chipotle and the classic beef tacos - yum yum. The total for two tacos and a drink came to $8.80 so you can't go wrong there....but something was off. I'm not sure whether it was the staff members in uniform standing outside smoking or their general lack of enthusiasm, but it lacked the spark you usually find at a Salsas. They need to bring everything up a notch - friendliness, enthusiasm for customers, attention to where the staff are and the image it projects to customers.

Approximate cost: $2.50
