Howling Wolf Taqueria - Salem

Great fajita quesadilla! Very good drinks as well. Friendly staff

I got the Howling Wolf burrito like I always do. The bacon inside tasted burned. It was a little disappointing. I did get the Georgia Peach for a drink though and it was absolutely delicious. Wish they had options for bag holders under the tables.

Just the right amount of unique! Great flavors and great menu!

Really good Mexican fusion with a hopping atmosphere. Friday night, and we were seated instantly upon arrival with no booking, but the place was reasonably busy. Our waiter, Patrick, was on top of our needs without asking; he has chips and salsa on the table, and water straight up. Shortly after being seated, we were offered a margarita taster shot, which was nice of them. The food was good and not overly expensive, and it was worth the price. While eating, Patrick noted we needed extra napkins and had them on our table before we even asked, which was perfect. Got the bill in a timely fashion, so there was no waiting for anything. They had a decent set of vegetarian choices for me, and I was happy with my order (fried avocado tacos). I only have a small complaint, that the music is played about 3dB too loudly, so it was hard to hear while chatting with my wife at the same table, but that's the only issue. This place was worth the Friday night out thanks, Howling Wolf!

Went here based on all the positive reviews. Mistake. The food was not mexican food. It just had the names of popular mexican dishes. I got quesadillas with al pastor meat. That means the meat is marinated and then cooked. There was some sauce in the quesadilla but it wasn't anywhere near al pastor. The salsa with the chips and salsa they bring out was sweet and runny. Out of the 4 entries at the table only 1 of them was actually any good. We were mostly ignored by all the serving staff. The bartender had to leave the bar to seat and serve us. There were 3 other servers and they all ignored us. Was it the mixed ethnicities in our group? Was it the fact we were all girls? It was lunch time and they weren't busy so why did no one come to our side of the small restaurant. Also the cooks managed to start a small fire (was this on perpouse to cook something? And the room filled with smoke. Don't come here. It was disappointing
