Yes.
These are the best type for salsa. These pear or plum shaped fruits are smaller than standard tomatoes but full of flavor with a very meaty low moisture flesh.
Here is one popular salsa or Pico de Gallo recipe.
2 large ripe, red slicing tomatoes, cored and chopped
1 small white onion, chopped
1 green onion, top included, chopped
1 to 3 jalapeno peppers, finely chopped
1/4 cup cilantro leaves, minced
Juice of lime
teaspoon salt
1. Using a serrated knife, chop tomatoes. If using plum tomatoes, add 2 tablespoons water.
2. In a medium bowl, toss together the tomatoes, onions, peppers, and cilantro. Squeeze lime juice over the mixture and sprinkle on the salt. Let sit 30 minutes before serving to allow salt to draw juice from the tomatoes. Stir again just before serving. Makes about 2 cups.

I only use pear or cherry tomatoes,they have a firm flesh and are much more tasty and sweet than larger varieties.I do not use cilantro or parsley in the salsa before I can it,when I open a jar I add it fresh.
