Our fresh tilapia is back - and bursting with flavor!

Fish is finally coming back to Salsa Grille in 2023! To celebrate, we’ve written a poem to tell you about it: 

Ashes to ashes,

Dust to dust,

If you want big flavor,

Fresh tilapia is a must!

Yes, our tilapia is BACK for a limited time - only on Fridays from February 24th until Friday April 7th! So come grab some in-store while you can because that’s the ONLY way to try this seasonal favorite. 

A little more about our fish: We buy our tilapia from the locally-owned and operated George’s International Market. Once we get the fish in-store, we prepare it fresh, season it with a special blend of spices, then cook it to perfection. From there, you add it to any of the Salsa Grille entrees and load it up with any of the fresh toppings you love.

Why do we get fish this time of year? 

For a lot of reasons! Some people choose to give up red meat for a few months this time of year for religious reasons. A lot of people make New Year’s resolutions to eat healthier (and fish is, in fact, much healthier than red meat). Some people just want to explore other dinner options that aren’t red meat, but don’t want to go fully vegetarian. Some people just want to try something new without having to buy fish themselves! For all of those people, fish and especially tilapia is a great meal option. So whether you’re going red-meatless for religious, ethical, financial, or health reasons, our tilapia makes a great option for a fresh meal. 

How should you eat the fish? 

Any way you like - but preferably with either your hands or utensils! Just kidding - our seasonal tilapia pairs especially well with our tacos. I mean, come on, who doesn’t love fish tacos? Pair your perfectly-seasoned fish bites with a soft corn tortilla, corn salsa, some crema, cotija cheese, and cilantro and you’ve got one heck of a meal. 

But we’re not here to judge any pairing. Fish burrito? Go for it, stuff that sucker FULL of fresh-never-frozen goodness. Fish nachos? Heck yeah, stack ‘em high with cheese and toppings. Fish quesadilla? Slap that thing on the quesadilla press with a bunch of cheese and veggies and let ‘er rip. 

And if you’re fully vegetarian, don’t worry - we’ve got you covered! Our tofu is as expertly seasoned, just like the tilapia, so you don’t have to miss out. And even better, tofu is available year round AND is an option online and in catering orders!

So what are you waiting for? Dive into your next fresh lunch or dinner option at any of the Salsa Grille locations this Friday! 

NOTE: Tilapia is not available online or as a catering entree. Available in-store while supplies last.
