Saludo Lounge

Visited fo lunch with a friend as it was listed as dog friendly. It certainly was. Ginny didn’t fancy the treats she was offered so they hand fed her some sausage. I ordered a super grain salad and it was absolutely delicious. Will definitely return.

We went here for family lunch, was greeted by friendly and helpful staff. However the food came late after 30 minutes of waiting. People who came in after us received their food before us. We ordered the Birria Tacos, and Nasi Goreng. The Nasi Goreng was very good and tasty, it was nice to see this dish here since Malaysian food is quite uncommon in Workington. This is the only place as far as I know that does it, not very traditional but it tastes very good! Sadly the Birria Tacos was very disappointing. The tacos themselves were paper thin. They tasted good but the meat portion was incredibly skimped on. Only a few strands of beef on each taco and the beef only covered 1/2 of the taco. The consome sauce (which tasted good) was also very sparingly portioned. There are other side bits that come with the dish but I’d rather not have that and instead have the tacos properly portioned. Nice to see the large selection of oriental food but hope they fix the tacos since it tasted good.

We recently visited the place as a quick stop while shopping and were really impressed by the decor and interior. Unfortunately the food on this visit didn’t quite match the setting. We ordered garlic and Italian cheese fries at 12:45 but didn’t receive them until around 1:10, which felt like quite a long wait for a simple side dish. When they arrived the fries were incredibly oily (see photos) and lacked any garlic flavour and tasted very stale, as though they’d been sitting for a while. At nearly £5, we had hoped for something fresher and seasoned properly. We had originally thought about bringing a larger group here to celebrate but after this experience we’ve decided against it. We also found it a little tricky to identify staff members when we needed assistance and there were a few flies around which detracted from the overall experience. That being said, the venue itself is beautiful n with more attention to food quality and small details we do think it can become a really great place. We hope to see some improvements and would love to give it another try in the future
