Reviews for Salamandra Restaurant in Dixon, IL
We ordered carry-out on a Friday afternoon. Ready in minutes. Staff was personable and helpful. We chose #17, (cheese)... Enchiladas Rojas. The meal comes with three enchiladas; we added a fourth in order to split the meal. Refried pinto beans were alittle liquid; rice was ok. The meal comes with a few tortilla chips + salsa. The chips were fresh and crisp; mild salsa wasthick and tasty. The white cheese on enchiladas and refried beans is a common Mexican cheese (Chihuahua cheese, used by manyMexican restaurants). It's NOT parmesan cheese. Our main issue is that carry-out food is in styrofoam containers. And order ispackaged in a one-time-use plastic bag. We wish for black beans rather than pinto beans. But maybe that's not a factor fortheir main clientele. Read more
Barley got any chips and salsa. Ordered nacho cheese for our chips too and didn't come till our chips were already gone. Beans... were practically water. Ordered a burrito and it tasted like dish soap. Would have loved to wash it down with a drink but neveronce got a refill. Never once got asked how the food was. Would have loved extra sour cream but couldn't get the waitresses tostop talking to each other at the counter. Seems like you only get good service if you know the people working. Read more
Food really is good but I man, portion size is WAY too small for the price. I usually have left overs but here, I could eat 2... dinners and still have room for more. They literally gave me 5 chips with the salsa. Read more
Bad food, bad service. Do not recommend at all. Was easy to tell the frier oil was old and everything was way overcooked. The... chips were burned, the flautas were rock hard and the chimichanga was soaked in a green sauce that made it soggy. The sign saysmasters of salsa but it was terrible too - it was basically water with some spices in it. We could not eat any of it. We werethe only customers the service was still terrible. The staff was not friendly at all. Find somewhere else to eat! Read more

1st visit Haven't been to this place in 10 plus years. It was good then and it's A good 1st Reunion visit now. The pork tacos... were out of this world!As well as everything else we had. Clean environment, Service was great! And the price was fair. Read more
Cash only, so be prepared. This little gem in Dixon really hits the spot. We got an order of steak fajitas and a carne assada... burrito, which included a side of rice and refried beans served first as an appetizer. The family running the place is very niceand friendly, plus their homemade salsas are to die for. We asked for something spicier than the delicious salsas served withthe chips and they quickly returned with two different habanero salsas. It doesn't get better than this. Read more
Food was very good. Very friendly. Asked us more than once if everything was ok.
