A Side of Beans and Rice at Salsarita's Fresh Mexican Grill

I went to Salsarita's for a light lunch. Here you see a side of beans and rice. I put some Chili Lime Cholula sauce on top to give it some moisture and heat. I also had a large half-sweet tea. I was charged $4.55 for this meal.

The quality of this meal was excellent, however I frequently have issues when ordering at Salsarita's. This time the server keep wanting me to pay for a huge platter of food at $6.99 when I specifically asked for the small side of beans and rice at $1.99. She kept saying they only sell one size, the big bowl. After I calmly and politely read her the menu, she got the small bowl and gave me what I ordered. Maybe I'm the only one who orders reasonably sized meals that consist of only side items and it confused her. The small serving filled me up. There's no need to spend more money and walk out with 4 servings of leftover food that will sit in my car all day.

I hope Salsarita's get things straightened out. I love their vegan options, but they make it so difficult to order small healthy meals at reasonable prices.
