    My daughter and I tried Salena for the first time last night. It's been open a few months, taking the place of another great restaurant. We were very surprised at how empty the dining room was when we arrived. It did fill up a bit as our dinner went on, but not as much as I expected. There were a lot of people coming in, but most were going upstairs where there is more of a bar/lounge area. I did check it out before leaving and it seemed like a great place to join friends - very energetic with music and large bar. Something to check out another time. I ordered an incredible martini. Expensive, but large with a great flavor and unique speared toppings. We tried the elote corn dip with homemade chips. I highly recommend this! I ordered the cubano sandwich and my daughter had a burger. My cuban sandwich was delicious - very full with a unique raspberry dipping sauce. My daughter liked, but didn't love, her burger. There fries were excellent. We are big fans of alfajores, an Argentinean cookie, and the ones at Salena did not disappoint. What a great treat to end the meal! I wish there were a few more main meal options. The menu is limited to apps, tacos, and sandwiches. I'd like to try the tacos on another night as there were many different options. The prices were a bit high for what we had - $24 burgers and a $17 sandwich. I don't mind higher prices at restaurants, but thought these prices were on the higher end. I'm looking forward to returning to Salena for a night upstairs with my husband. Our waitress was excellent! Extremely professional, had a great knowledge of the menu, and was really personable.

    This restaurant was selected because they stated to have GF items on their menu. We were dining with a friend with Celiac so this was a show stopper. This restaurant obviously does not take the GF very seriously because there are items that are obviously NOT GF. They are not setup to handle cross contamination. Why indicate items are GF if they are truly NOT? Over selling and under delivering. I would not recommend this restaurant if you have gluten allergies.

    We had a party of 13 for dinner last night. Service with Cameryn was just perfect..... Very professional, very friendly can tell she really enjoys her job. Very knowledgeable about the menu, made some recommendations, and was very attentive to all of our needs in refilling drinks and offering other items. All of the food was amazing and all was delivered hot and fresh....and quickly.Everyone raved about every food and coctail item that was ordered and there was a lot of sharing/tasting amongst our guests. Definitely recommend and can't wait for our next visit. Thank you!

    Restaurant is very disorganized appearing like it just opened yesterday. Lighting is dim and the menu print very small requiring the use of a flashlight to read. Our server did not have a clue what her job entailed. Cocktails were small and overpriced. We were very disappointed

    I recently dined at Salena with high hopes for a memorable Mexican fusion experience, but it fell short in several areas. While the food had potential, many dishes were overwhelmingly salty, which masked the expected subtleties of Mexican cuisine. The “salsas” were overpriced at $1.50 for very small portions, with some of them being merely sauces. The menu was difficult to read due to an overly stylized font and poor lighting, making the ordering process frustrating. Lastly, the ambiance was lacking. The decor felt plain and sterile, missing the vibrant energy typically associated with a Mexican fusion restaurant. Overall, while there were some positive aspects, the experience didn’t meet my expectations for value. However, the service was great.

    Can't recommend Salena enough. Anyone who's dipped a toe into the Salt network knows Salena was going to be another 10/10. Heavy focus on Latin instead of Mexican which provides a much needed variety that Plymouth was missing. All your favorite faces in your new favorite place. Food is different and "out there" without being too big of a jump for picky eaters. Cocojito and Pina Mojito are refreshing takes on cocktails while still offering the forever loved Espresso martini. Already looking forward to my next trip

    Inventive menu in cool waterfront restaurant. We ordered 2 specialty cocktails, the fried shrimp, chicken tacos, rice and beans, jibarito sliders. Everything was delicious! Our server made good suggestions, was attentive, but didn’t hover. Highly recommend—looking forward to our next visit!
