Wild Salsa
Wild Salsa has reopened at its previous Cowtown locale at 300 Throckmorton St. The Mexico City-inspired restaurant is now open for dinner on Tuesday, and Thursday through Saturday from 4 to 10 p.m.
The original Wild Salsa opened in Dallas in 2011 before expanding west to downtown Fort Worth in 2016. Four years later, the concept would become one of many service industry casualties of the pandemic, being forced to temporarily shut its doors. But temporary, as it turned out, meant four years.
In June, DRG Concepts, Wild Salsa’s parent company, confirmed that the restaurant would reopen with a revamped menu for dinner service only.
The new menu includes dishes like Sonoran chicken enchiladas, grilled arrachera steak fajitas, grilled mahi mahi, and chipotle shrimp tacos.
As for its libations, Wild Salsa's tequila menu includes one of the city's most impressive selections of blanco, reposado, and añejo tequilas. Mixed drink options include an array of tequila-heavy concoctions, including Wild Salsa's signature cocktail, the Wild Rita, a pineapple and jalapeño-infused margarita with lime and agave. The restaurant also offers complimentary valet services on Throckmorton and parking in the City Place Center garage.
Since the restaurant's opening in Dallas, our easterly counterparts at D Magazine honored Wild Salsa as one of 2011's Best New Restaurants. For our own review of the Fort Worth restaurant in 2016, the magazine's then-editor, Jennifer Casseday-Blair, sang the restaurant's praises.
"While downtown Fort Worth has other Mexican/Tex-Mex offerings (Taco Diner, Mi Cocina, La Perla Negra, Cantina Laredo)," Casseday-Blair wrote, "Wild Salsa stands out with its cool venue, creative flavors and dedication to always-fresh ingredients."
Here's hoping it has few kinks to work out.
Wild Salsa also takes online orders via Toast.
