About This Spot
Stepping into Con Salsa Venezuelan Cuisine in Glen Allen is like discovering a spirited corner of Venezuela amid the Virginia suburbs. The pace is unhurried yet lively, offering a sense of genuine welcoming warmth from the moment you arrive. The cozy indoor space extends to inviting outdoor seating, thoughtfully equipped with heaters to keep the atmosphere comfortable throughout the cooler months, making it a perfect spot for relaxed gatherings or a quiet meal after a busy day.
The hum of conversations blends with the rhythm of vibrant Latin music, setting an easygoing and authentic mood. This is a place where time feels a little slower, encouraging diners to savor both the food and the company. The friendly attentiveness of the staff offers a personal touch that goes beyond standard service—they take the time to guide you through their menu, inviting you to explore new flavors rather than simply order from a list.

Whether it's the playful twist of plantain replacing traditional bread in their sandwiches or rich, cheesy tequeños that seem impossible to put down, each bite carries an honest and comforting sense of home-cooked heritage.

The owner is super friendly. While we had a hard time deciding which juice to get, she offered samples to my kids to try so they can pick the one they like. And the food is so delicious and the portion is generous and we had leftover for another meal for two kids. Will definitely recommend and come back again

Found this place while driving around, was looking for something new. What a find! I just asked for recommendations since I've never had Venezuelan food, the attendant recommended "patacón de carne y coco" which is like a sandwich but with plantain instead of bread, it was awesome, furthermore the tequeños de queso were even superior, really had a good lunch. Fully recommend!

Food was great Atmosphere was awesome food was authentic and flavorful Juices 10/10 the best the outside tables have a nice outside warmer’s so you can eat and not die in the process We drove a little over an hour from Charlottesville with my friends and we were excited a nice Sunday trip but the cashier was not really empathetic they need better customer service . After we finish eating we ordered to go and I got 2 different other cashiers they were a bit nicker but for a busy place like this they need a better front service some this is the image of the business . Restrooms were clean this is a plus Otherwise I would give them a 5 starts

I was in town for a wedding and wanted to try some local food and stumbled upon this place and I am glad I did. I ordered online and the food was ready fast. The restaurant is cute and has plenty outdoor seating with heaters and great music. I ordered the Pollo Asado Bowl, empanada pollo operas and a tequeno. The empanada was my favorite, I could eat this again and again. The bowl was great but I was hoping it included plantains but it did not. The food was delicious and fresh! My only point of feedback would be to have a more detailed pick up menu which includes what’s in each dish. I would definitely come back!

This was hands down the best meal I’ve had in a long time! I’m incredibly picky when it comes to food, but Con Salsa blew me away. I ordered the Mar y Tierra, and it was cooked to perfection. The steak was packed with flavor and the shrimp were so fresh and tender. Beyond the food, the service was excellent—quick, efficient, and everyone had a smile on their face. I honestly can’t say enough good things. If you're in Richmond, you have to try this place!"

Food was amazing! Went for lunch and the carne asada arepa was delicious and refreshing. I also got the hotdogs that’s came with shredded cabbage, ketchup, mustard, and small bits of fried potato sticks. All this food paired with their fresh mango juice made for the perfect lunch date definitely coming back!

Extremely kind and caring staff, with a menu with lots of choices, an adequate appetizer and soup menu and several salads to choose from. I choose the Chicken Mercado. Authentic tasting with plenty of well-crafted flavors meshing perfectly. I highly recommend this restaurant for many reasons, but the food served here alone is the reason I will keep coming back. It's delicious and extremely flavorful with out being hot or tex-mexced to death. Bravo and delicious!!! Thank you so much Con Salsa, I can't thank you enough for your offerings....
