‘Day of the Dead’ restaurant/tequila bar comes back to life in downtown Fort Worth

Wild Salsa reopens in downtown Fort Worth

Hey, Bud! Is Wild Salsa ever reopening?

—So many readers, I’ve lost count

Done. Wild Salsa, a Day of the Dead-themed interior-Mexico restaurant and tequila bar at 300 Throckmorton St., has made an incredible comeback.

The restaurant was closed three years during the pandemic. Now, it’s open again, bringing life back to One City Place near Sundance Square in downtown Fort Worth.

It’s known for the chicken tinga, enchiladas and shrimp or fish tacos, and maybe even more for the ice-cream paletas.

It’s open for dinner Tuesdays through Saturdays; wildsalsarestaurant.com.
