El Salto Mexican Restaurant

Our party of 9 came in on a Saturday afternoon and our server Nayeli was absolutely wonderful! She was friendly and patient and made suggestions. She knew the menu backwards and forwards. She so attentive and our drinks were never low. She made sure we had everything we needed and went above and beyond to make us happy. I wish more servers were like Nayeli! And she was especially nice to the kids in our party. Will be returning for more great food and service!

Went for taco Tuesday. Great value on tacos ($2 for ground beef or shredded chicken) and Margaritas ($5 for regular size). The chicken were pretty good. Was a beautiful evening so Sat out on the patio. Our server was very nice but I overall service was a bit slow. All in all it was a decent place.

EL SALTO Mexican Restaurant is new to Cedar Lake, IN located on Wicker Ave. I had the opportunity of stopping in & dining on a Friday late afternoon & this restaurant was filling up quickly. It is set on the end of a strip mall & convenient to access. The decor was whimsical & colorful with “Day of the Dead” metal sculptures throughout. The bar well stocked with liquors, wine as well as bottled beers & tap imports/exports. My friend & I were seated promptly & the staff was very accommodating & friendly. The restaurant itself was clean & inviting. My order was 3 tacos & my friend ordered the same. I also had a small guacamole & a sour cream. Our drinks were 1 beer & a cola. It is worth mentioning the tacos were “very delicious” although come with cheese & lettuce….(tomatoes & toppings are add-ons). Our bill was $53.00 ..with tip put us over $60. I found this venue to be on the higher end of the Mexican cuisine restaurants I have frequented. As I was leaving this venue was filling quickly & I wish them the very best. I however, am reluctant to the price point. I hope this review is helpful to others.

I was told it's a newly open location now it's one of my top three favorites of Northwest Indiana restaurants their portions are fantastic drinks are spectacular and caused a great conversation between us for their creative glasses service was done with smiles and appreciation the menu is budget friendly and reasonable for top end meals El salto's restaurants are definite yes for lunch dinner or take home it's placed in a new strip mall it has very clean table floors washroom facilities this was a 100% positive experience for our group not one thing we could complain about at all not that we wanted to enjoy

Great meal, great new atmosphere, and attentive staff! I wasn’t disappointed like most small chains that branch out. My wife and I have loved the location in merrillville/Hobart, but where hesitant to try the new cedar lake spot. It was amazing and will be our go to from now on. Really great draft beer selection and the full menu from other locations. Chips and salsa where on point, food was fresh and hot, and nothing deviated from the high standard the other locations had set. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have good spot close to home!
