Delicious food, good service and great ambiance for a busy Tuesday night. It was wonderful catching up with some lady friends as well The value is here at Salena's! As well as the tasty chips and salsa while you wait for your meal I didn't get any this trip, however I love that they have mocktails for those of us who do not drink. Thank you for catering to the alcohol free lifestyle.

The Selena's experience starts with a chip and salsa bowl that is never ending. Hot sauce bottles will stare at you with so much love you can't say no to them. Of course you try all of them with the chips so when the entrée gets there you know which one is just for you. The menu is amazing as always. I do love their roasted veggie tacos. I tried Mole for the first time here. A memorable experience indeed! Everyone from the front desk folks to the ones making your food are amazing. Nice, kind and considerate. It's a big place that adds more to the Village Gate which is awesome. I kinda like the location a bit much since after a big meal I get to walk around the area visiting the little stores!

I'm in town, (back where I grew up so I still call Rochester "home") visiting my brother and his family since my niece is graduating from high school. Big event, so when we flew into the airport my brother and his wife (and two teens) set up a reservation including my parents and I. Plenty of parking here, but we came early. It looks like there's a bunch of restaurants and shops here. We were greeted once we arrived, it was clear my brother and sister in law come here often, we were greeted with smiles and seated immediately. They have freshly made tortilla chips and salsa that was immediately on our table as soon as we got our drink order in. You can tell it's all freshly made, we were digging in right away. Our server Lauren was all over our needs and requests. She was friendly, professional, and we never had to ask for anything because she basically knew ahead of time when we would want something. In terms of apps, we had queso, guacamole, rice balls, and corn "ribs"- the corn ribs are an absolute rock star of a dish. Compliments to the person who came up with this. Quartered corn on the cob, battered and fried- then seasoned aggressively. My goodness we ate like royalty! So much that our entrees were going to potentially kill us. So full. I ordered the ground beef Crunchwrap that came with beans and rice, and it's similar to the chain version but obviously much nicer; better ingredients and prepared to perfection. It was very heavy, filled to the brim with deliciousness. The entire night we kept getting checked on by Reynaldo, the General Manager for this location. He was so friendly, it's obvious he knew my brother and sister in law, and we felt like family as he made sure we got everything we needed. It's been almost 20 years since I was living in Rochester, after I graduated from the U of R I basically moved off and lived in a bunch of different cities that had great food. But I have to say- this spot is really special. The house made margaritas that come in a carafe with no ice (so it doesn't water the drinks down- sweet idea again!) were popular also. I highly recommend trying the food here. Even if you just come for drinks and apps- it's not going to let you down. I'm gonna think about the corn ribs for a while. It was something so unique and delicious- it's been a long time since a dish has done that for me. Thanks to Lauren and Reynaldo for our first meal back home to be so good! Support small businesses!

We enjoyed a slow-paced Mexican lunch on Salena's Patio. The menu was extensive with so many options that we had a hard time choosing. Food was delicious. Service was prompt. The covered patio was a welcome relief on a warm day of shopping the neighboring Sunday flea market. The rice balls were a unique twist and very tasty!

We ordered chips and queso for the table, and we shared a pitcher of white peach margaritas. First of all, that was the BEST MARGARITA I have ever had. Holy cow. Secondly, the queso was addictive. I got chicken fajitas for my main, and they were pretty good. I have no complaints! I have a lot of leftovers and I'm so excited to be able to eat this again tomorrow. Yum all around!
