Less than two months after its splashy reopening at The Rim, San Antonio’s Salsita is already throwing in the towel.

Salsita closes December 23.”The closure is the latest twist to the concept opened in 2022 by hospitality firm Grupo Orraca. The restaurant first debuted as Santa Diabla, the group’s first foray into the U.S. market, in the Tobin Hill area near the St. Mary’s Strip.

It’s unclear when that restaurant shuttered, but after coastal Mexican standby Tiago’s Cabo Grille closed, Salsita’s website teased that it would soon take over Tiago’s space.That move was made official by Salsita’s grand opening on November 1.
