Multiple locations
One reason the doggie bags walk out of this place might be the bowls of salsa that get spooned up on chips before the entrees ever arrive. A dozen other contenders lend some credence to that talk of salsa replacing ketchup as the country's favorite condiment. Viva Mercados scooped up a solid second place.
Our Pick:
BAJA FRESH LAS VEGAS
4760 W. Sahara Ave.
What we used to indifferently squirt from little foil packets now is the topic of serious debates over freshness and bouquet. The salsa bar at this hit Sahara Pavilion arrival doesn't strain our short attention spans with choices, but the limited offerings are all winners. Pay special attention to that one that's almost black.
