The Dish: Quesadilla and Nachos from Salsa Salsa

If you frequent in Smithtown you are already aware of the rather extensive menu they have. But if you are a regular and haven't tried everything on the menu, you might want to check out two of the more simple items – the grilled chicken quesadilla and the nachos grande.

The Dish: Grilled Chicken Quesadilla ($7.49) and Nachos Grande ($7.29)

What is it: The grilled chicken quesadilla is a 12-inch toasted tortilla loaded with grilled chicken, blended cheeses, scallions and jalapenos, served with a side of sour cream. The nachos grande is a mound of corn chips topped with melted jack and cheddar cheeses, scallions, salsa fresca and sour cream. 

How does it taste: While only using a few ingredients and the fact that you could make these at home on your own, these dishes could be seen as typical, non-standout items on the Salsa Salsa menu – but that is not the case. The tortilla is toasted to perfection on the grilled chicken quesadilla, the chicken is succulent and moist, and the cheeses are rich and bold. For the nachos grande, most of the flavor comes from the delicious salsa fresca, and there is plenty atop the bed of crispy, lightly salted corn chips. The cheeses have a bold flavor, but it still takes the back seat to the salsa fresca. 

Why you should eat this: The two dishes won't drain your wallet and you'll leave full and satisfied.
