Rising from the shimmering depths, comes a restaurant experience so unique, it seduces your soul with exotic flavors, tantalizing sounds and a playful ambiance straight from the heart of Mexico.

John Casale, founder of Anthem Restaurants of America, Inc., the owner and operator of Salty Senorita Fresh Mexican Restaurant and Cantina, created this unique concept based upon the story of a Spanish sailor and his magical encounter with a mysterious mermaid.

The first Salty Senorita opened its doors in the heart of Old Town Scottsdale in December of 2003 and quickly became a Valley “hot spot” among both residents and visitors alike. In 2005, Salty opened its second location in Mesa/Gilbert and once again, this fun and kitschy concept found itself incredibly well received. Most recently, Casale announced the opening of Salty North Scottsdale and a Peoria location still to come in late October 2007. These new additions to the Salty family have been hand chosen by Casale, and, as is traditional for Salty locations, both are placed in exciting new areas well know for their quality establishments and entertainment features. Salty North Scottsdale is located in what was previously the Downside Risk Grille and Bar and Salty Peoria is located next to Peoria Sports complex in what was once the Monastery II.

Each Salty location has been masterfully designed by Judith Testani (Elements, Furio, Greenehouse, Montana Street, Tarbell’s) and reflects a warm and inviting design similar to the unique works of Antonio Gaudi, the famous Spanish architect of the early twentieth century.

Salty’s exceptionally diverse menu was created by acclaimed Executive Chef, Jagger Griffin. With imaginative dinner entrees, quick and tasty lunch specials, a delicious Sunday brunch menu, along with happy hour and late night food, Salty Senorita offers something for everyone. Salty also boasts over 101 premium blue agave tequilas and 51 signature margaritas held in Salty’s signature drink book, 51 Blue, which now features awesome new tequila and margarita flights!.

It's always a celebration at Salty, with promotions like Sunset Sundays, Half off appetizers and Senorita Slushes every Sunday night. Margarita Mondays feature half-price margaritas every Monday night from 8pm until close. And, Tijuana Tuesdays offer $1.00 chicken, beef or fish tacos and $5.00 Mermaid Pails (buckets of beer) all night long! Every few months, Salty offers a special gathering called Margarita Mechanics, during which “students” will learn how to craft the perfect margarita from the best in the Valley!

Keep your eye out for the Salty Shuttle roaming the streets of the Valley. Whether it’s jumping on the convenient shuttle during Spring Training, renting the popular party bus for a fun night out on the town, or taking the bus to local happenings, the Salty Shuttle is there for you.

Salty Senorita shows no signs of stopping! Quite the contrary, we’ve only just begun! With award-winning cuisine and drinks, innovative concepts and the fun, relaxed vibe enjoyed by so many, four locations are only the tip of the palm tree for this hip and happenin’ gal called the Salty Senorita.
