Cyclone Anaya's has decent drinks, the food is below average. Every Houston suburban white girl here loves it though, so I'm willing to make sacrifices.

Only the one in Montrose
Not the Webster location on Gulf Freeway

Las Haciendas @ NASA Rd & 45 serves the salsa warm. Very spicy.

Taco truck @ West Alabama Ice House, salsa[s] are "free." Best tacos in the city.



I agree that the tacos are good here, but there are no chip and salsa. This is what I am talking about. Not the sauce you put on you tacos.

What do you call the sauce you put on tacos? "Taco sauce?"

So here are places in Houston that I have tried so far, and still have not found any Salsa that great...

Chuys (just went there today)
Lupes Tortillas
Adobe
Marco Mexican
Antonios
Papasitos (although they did have good enchiladas with mole)
Nimfa's on Kirby (new in town, did not realize this was not original)

Of coarse everyone has there own opinions, but basically; so far what I have tried is too watery. My favorite in-store salsa is "On the border" that place in BR had pretty good salsa too if I remember correctly. Also, I was a big fan of Cucos in NOLA. These places salsas were thicker/saucier and not as watery as these places here in Houston.

Also, since some people are complaining about there being sooo many resturants how can we pick a best...

allow me to narrow it down. West 6-10 loop, south of I-10

Also, preferable a place that serves mole sauce
(Chuys and Lupes do not have mole sauce for example)

If you dont count your taco-bells, chipotles, and taco cabanas, and other burrito shops (freebirds, bullritos), where you dont get the salsa at the table, there are probably only around 50 places left here.

Not a Mexican restaurant and it's not free, but Tbones Sports bar and grill surprisingly has really good salsa.

I do too. Salsa and tortillas......better be homemade tortillas or I'm disappointed.

Klark probably gave you the best recommendations. Not sure what you're looking for - warm salsa, chipotle salsa, smoked salsa, etc. However, I like the salsa Cyclone Anaya's and El Tiempo. All of that being said, I judge a tex mex place more by fajitas than salsa.
