Salty Cowboy

Compared to other Zionsville options, Salty Cowboy is suitable for a more casual get-together. We visited with friends and were able to get seated right away.

I ordered a bowl in salad form. My food was average, but my husband enjoyed his burrito. The chips and salsa were great!

The one negative I'd make is that the staff working on the night that we were in made it very clear that they did not want to be there and were annoyed with each other.

Perfect for a casual, fun, and delicious meal! Get the meal going with a white strawberry or a spicy jalapeño margarita! Can't choose a flavor? Order the flight so you can try 3 unique flavors!

Get started with the Trailer Park- Chips & your choice or 4-6 sides: guacamole, salsa verde, queso, retired bean dip, Mexican street corn dip, fire roasted tomato salsa. This is sure to make the whole table happy!

They also offer the "Dirty Fires". This is an item I don't typically see at a Mexican restaurant so I couldn't resist! A delicious twist on nachos using salty cowboy fries, queso, smoked pork, chipotle citrus bbq, jalapeños and sour cream.

Finally, the tacos. All tacos have a classic protein base with unique toppings and flavors that perfectly compliment each other. Balancing sweet and heat flawlessly. Try any of the tacos on the house made gluten free corn tortillas!

Service was fast and staff was very kind! My only complaint is that our table wasn't large enough for all the food we ordered! Not a bad problem to have!

Nice spot in the Village for dinner and drinks. We've been many times and like the food (especially the table side guacamole) and the vibe in the bar. The service is usually quick, attentive and friendly. The manager / owner is always present, helping his staff and making sure patrons are happy.

However, there are one or two things that keep this from being REALLY great. First, some of the menu is pricier than it should be (especially the tacos). Second, the front dining room is a bit uncomfortable with table placement (can be noisy, and extremely cold in the winter). Finally, the margaritas can be made very differently each visit -- last time mine was more mix than jalapeño or tequila.

Overall, the Salty Cowboy is a nice choice for dinner and meeting friends, and a place we will return to many times!

Just walking up to this funky little joint my mouth was watering from the amazing smell wafting from it. It's a beautiful on the outside, and the cozy, quaint atmosphere walking in made think, "Well, this is where I live now."

The decor reminded me of visiting my sister in St. Pete Fla, as did the friendliness of staff and patrons. The drinks...which my family happily taste tested for this review lol...reminded us of some of the best drinks we've ever had on any cruise ship we've been on. It's just top notch here, and I haven't even gotten to the food. THE FOOD! All of us had something different and we all exchanged bites. None of us could agree on whose dish was the best because they were all phenomenal. I'm a corn tortilla girl, and I will say the corn tortillas are homemade and delicious however slightly thicker with a more masa taste than a standard corn tortilla one might get. Don't let that turn you away from getting corn because they are truly delicious.

We sat in the small room in the front of the house but I did venture to the back bar to use the restroom, and it looked like a GREAT time back there. I was a little jealous lol. We got there at 6pm and the bar was pretty full so come early if you want to sit right at the bar, but whatever you do COME HERE. We live an hour away and this place is our new go-to join!

The Salty cowboy is under new ownership but the food and drinks are as good or better than before. I love that with the trailer park appetizer you now get spoons for all the sauces. I had the strawberry margarita with a sugar rim that was excellent. We ordered the Burt Reynolds nachos which was full of ground beef, cheese, pickles peppers and guacamole.
Very delicious and very filling. Service was excellent. Definitely check it out if you have t been there.

Another fav Mexican American place for tacos and se good flavorful empanadas! This place looks like a pub/bar but you should definitely try their food! Ambiance is cool and relaxed on a weekday and the service was also great! We went in there right before they closed and the food didn't disappoint!

Really enjoyed this spot! Definitely try the empanadas.
Came here on a Saturday night for date night with no reservation and were pleasantly surprised to be seated right away. The hostess asked if sitting on the porch would be okay, and we said of course. In retrospect, the table and stools were pretty uncomfortable but it worked! Staff was friendly and helpful when deciding what to eat. We got the salsa combos with guac, salsas and corn salsa. The corn salsa was on the watery side but everything else was delicious. Empanadas we're awesome, really happy I ordered them as my meal. Tacos were decent size and had plenty of flavors. Didn't get any cocktails but would love to go back and try one. Really cute spot and the patio is great.

Great atmosphere! I can't wait to visit this restaurant when it's warmer out. It is very small inside but wow! Great food! Try the dirty fries!

Dined with a friend for dinner at the Salty Cowboy on a Thursday night. Although it was busy, we were seated inside without needing to wait.
We started with the guacamole and loved that it was mixed for us at the table.
We each ordered a trio of soft tacos and our waitress helped customize my friends order to make hers vegetarian. My favorite was the shorty two, but next time I'm going to try the burrito.
The Salty Cowboy is a cute place to get your Mexican fix in Zionsville!

Got a chance to have a great margarita at the Salty Cowboy in Zionsville this weekend. Really cute place and it was packed. We only came in for a drink and a snack which were great. The owner even came out to say hi. Will be back to try a full meal later.
