So I heard that Sand & Salsa formerly known as Nostalgia Steak & Seafood Miller Beach , formerly known as Miller Beach Cafe had their soft opening today and I had to go check it out. The menu is quite extensive. Their small Margarita (I had a Mango) was HUGE and delicious and I’m tipsy. The chicken empanadas, shrimp tacos, chicken tacos and chicken alfredo was tender where it needed to be, chrispy where it needed to be and just immaculately seasoned to perfection. Everything was delicious and the staff was friendly. (I did see a lot of the previous staff there which was really cool) The owners also own El Poblano Mexican and Seafood Restaurant in Merrilville and you can tell they are NOT new to this. If this is just a soft opening we have a LOT to look forward to! So glad we have a fine dining option for Taco Tuesday in the community again because almost NOTHING is open in 46403 on Tuesday Nights. AND they are open at 11am for some yummy huevos rancheros and Margaritas . The hours are:
Monday-Closed
Sun, Tues, Wed, Thurs 11am-9pm
Fri, Saturday 11am-10pm

Sand & Salsa is a great. The salsa for the chips were good; the mild was chunky and the hot had some kick to it. I ordered the carnitas burrito dinner everyone else had the taco dinner. My wife got the frozen margarita. She is still enjoying that..lol. Our server Mariela or Mariah, was very friendly and attentive. She didn’t have a problem finding the answers for some of our questions either. Will definitely be back.

A great spot for delicious tacos and more. The service was excellent and the servers are friendly. The manager checked on us to be sure everything was okay. The drink menu is extensive. This place will fit in well with the beach crowd.

Update: The birria tacos have turned to ground beef with cheese. So disappointing when I know how good they used to be. They also have portable air conditioning and the building is clearly having some serious issues. The drinks have gotten more expensive and are just not worth the price. I hope they get it all figured out.
Original 5 star Review: The birria tacos are fantastic! This is finally more of a restaurant & bar, than just being a bar trying to serve food. In addition to the birria tacos, we had the chicken chimichangas, cheese queso dip, and the chips and salsas. The chicken chimichanga has the texture that we like because chicken is shredded and the seasoning was great. The main salsa was mild and flavorful and the other salsas have good flavors with none of them being unbearably spicy, but one was smokier and had a kick. The drinks were all good and we had a raspberry margarita, beer, and a Long Island iced tea. I will be going back. Also, the restaurant is still non-smoking, which is a must-have for me when eating at a restaurant.

There were 6 of us. The servers were very attentive and on the ball with getting us what we needed. We ate a bunch of appetizers and drinks. The appetizers were so big that we didn’t need to order entrees. Everyone loved their drinks (margarita for me). My favorite appetizer was the shrimp nachos. I usually don’t like guacamole, but theirs was very tasty. I will go back and get those shrimp nachos for myself really soon. Overall, I enjoyed my experience.

The food was OK. Loved the rice and beans! And the Salsa was exceptiona,with 3 flavorful offerings! Picked the cheapest thing on the menu as it was all very expensive! I couldn’t eat there very often. The service was impeccable. . The decor is very clean and updated, but without commitment to any theme. I saw no sand or salsa (except on the table), including the music, which was kinda like Spanish rap it didn’t make me want to dance.

I loved the experience! My meal was scrumptious. My Long Island was delicious (mind you, it wasn’t on the menu)! The service was fantastic. I’m already a fan. I only ask that they stay consistent, because I intend to tell everyone even if they don’t ask.
