    Happy hour GREEN LEMON MARGARITA 24oz
    Amanda E.

    Who was gonna tell me Green Lemon has the best happy hour deal in Tampa?? Absolutely will be back. Loved the menu choices and ended up selecting two tacos and having both a 24oz margarita and 12oz one during happy hour, and my bill only came to $30! Great deal in the SoHo area. The staff was also fantastic. Definitely recommend!

    Parking limited but spots around the area to pay for. Service is okay, Fiancé forgot his wallet and unfortunately couldn't get a drink. Understandable but I think she expected us to leave seeming surprised by us still willing to order. Once food was dropped off we didn't see her again for a while even after we were done eating. To the actual food- they get you on the trio but it isn't bad for what it is. The cheese of course is great but the guacamole is wonderful. The salsa was eh upfront burn but no flavor. I ordered the chicken Caesar wrap that was phenomenal and one of the best I've ever had. He ordered rice and beans which was good and chorizo and steak tacos which were good.They all kinda have a similar flavor or dusting on them. Likely a one and done.

    If you like Mexican American food, then you'll probably enjoy Green Lemon. It's got a really fun & hip environment that's super colorful and fun. Most of the food wasn't outstanding, just okay. But it depends what you get. My steak burrito was actually quite good, the steak was tender and seasoned well. But other things like the buffalo chicken and rice kind of lack more dimension in the flavor. But again, if you enjoy Mexican you'll like this place. They have a big sampler you can get that's guacamole, salsa and queso with chips which is perfect to share with a group. We also tried the churro cheesecake, which the server raved about but that was probably the worst thing we had. It just tasted really bland, the berry sauce was the only thing that gave it a taste. It was weird. Green Lemon also has lots of fun margaritas and other drinks if you're into that. Located in the South Howard part of Tampa it's a nice walking area during the day.

    I stopped in for dinner on a Friday evening and, even though it was pretty busy, we were seated quickly which was a great start to the night. Our service was attentive, friendly, and efficient throughout the meal. I ordered the trio dip to start, along with a few tacos and the crispy trees. The trio dip was a standout -- the salsa had a rich, smoky flavor with just the right amount of kick, and the queso was creamy, warm, and incredibly satisfying. Unfortunately, the crispy trees never made it to the table, which was a little disappointing. However, my tacos more than made up for it. They were flavorful and packed with bold, balanced flavors. Overall, it was a really enjoyable dinner experience. I also heard that they sometimes have a DJ on certain nights, which sounds like such a fun vibe. I'm definitely looking forward to coming back to experience that next time.

    So we went back! And I'm happy we did, I just love this spot I would go every Monday just for their 5$ margs. The food was so good tonight, a lot of flavor and good portions. The price is always decent and the vibes are great, awesome music taste and live games on tv. Our waiter came back frequently and checked on us. All around I'm glad I came back! 5/5

    Green Lemon is always an amazing time. The place is lively, buzzing with energy, and packed with people who clearly know where the good food is. The margaritas were incredibly tempting, but I had a lot to get done--otherwise I would've absolutely given in. I've been here before, and every single taco is off the charts. Consistent, flavorful, and just ridiculously good. This is one of those spots you find yourself coming back to without hesitation. Already looking forward to my next visit.

    First time at Green Lemon and I loved it! The place is super cute with a great vibe. Our waiter, Ziad, was amazing, he gave us awesome recommendations and everything we tried was delicious. We had the churro cheesecake for dessert and WOW... so good. We'll definitely be back!

    Green Lemon keeps getting better! They recently renovated and the new look really upgraded the vibe -- it feels more modern, fresh, and welcoming while still keeping that fun energy the place is known for. I ordered the fajita bowl with Mexican rice and it was absolutely delicious. The flavors were on point, everything tasted fresh, and the portion size was generous enough that I had leftovers to take home (which I always appreciate). The atmosphere here is always lively and fun, making it a great spot whether you're grabbing a casual meal or meeting up with friends. Consistently good food, big portions, and a great experience every time we visit. Definitely a go-to spot!

    Nice Latin American influenced restaurant

    Today, I found myself in Tampa Bay. The warm weather was a nice break from the cooling north. My hotel recommended Green Lemon for lunch. So glad I did! Upon entering, I noticed simple, but pleasant inside dining. I was immediately sat and brought a drink. The server recommended a few different bowls or a street taco trio (you pick any combo of 3 tacos and a side for only $13.50). I went with the shrimp taco, Shia Beef, and the Ancho (grilled chicken)... all with soft corn tortillas. Granted I ordered them with no cheese, so you will have to make that judgement.... But all 3 were absolutely delicious. The meats were not overcooked and had plenty of flavor! None of the meat was overcooked or dried out either! I definitely recommend stopping into Green Lemon for some great Hispanic food and street tacos!!!!

    I've always loved GL, the food is delicious and we generally have great service! We came on a busy Friday so it was a little slower service than usual but enjoyed the dip trio, a quesadilla, and a few tacos, and of course margaritas! As a heads up- it definitely tailors to a younger crowd with loud EDM music in the evenings but it's chiller earlier in the evening.

    This is a great taco restaurant. The atmosphere is relaxed and cool. The staff is friendly and service is quick. I had the pick the tacos and salad. Everything was great and I am looking forward to going back. Check them out!

    One of my favorite spots in Tampa!! Green lemon is always a hit. They have a decent parking lot as well as other nearby lots and street parking. My most recent visit was with some family coming in town. We were seated almost immediately and our server was really great with answering my family's questions about the menu and making sure it was accommodating of their dietary restrictions. I ordered 3 tacos - shrimp, kung fu'd tuna, and the ancho. The tacos were so flavorful and delicious!! The tuna had to be my favorite. Overall, great vibes and atmosphere, I love coming here for meals and happy hour!

    I visited Green Lemon on a Saturday at 11:00 just when they opened. We were a group of 6 and got a table immediately. The service was so good! They quickly got our drink and appetizer orders. One of the girls did not like cilantro and it came on her dish so they quickly brought her a new one without cilantro. In the end, they ended up not charging over the dish because the second one also had cilantro. I am not a cilantro hater, but I know other people are! This was exactly what we wanted and everything was great! I ordered the Birria and it was fantastic!

    I am planning a fun, and energetic dinner with the family for my 40th! Are they kid-friendly?

    They have kids options on the menu from what I remember. I nephews love this place and we're happy with their meals.

    Looking to come with a group of 9, do you accept larger parties?

    They can but it is a very long wait-I was there last Friday with a party of 6 and waited over 2 hours

    What's the happy hour consist of? Other than the taco Tuesday I read about is there specials any other day of the week?

    Are we able to make reservations on line? I haven't found them on Open Table or any of the other apps. Do we just need to call?

    Hi Nicole! Unfortunately at this time we are not taking reservations. We seat on a first come, first serve basis. We do have open seating in our bar area. Sorry for the inconvenience! Have a wonderful day!

    Can Green Lemon customers park in the garage across the street where Bulla is if the lots are full?

    Hi Nick. Our parking is the lot between Daily and Lemon, the lot next to Lemon and the three lots… Read more

    Happy hour times?

    3-7pm everyday

I tried to be polite and patient, but the staff was rude from the very beginning and made it clear they didn't want to serve me. To make it worse, I was kicked out for absolutely no reason. They claimed I "argued" with them, which is completely false. I never raised my voice or caused an issue--I was simply responding to their hostility. Instead of owning their behavior, they chose to make something up and remove me. I've never experienced such unprofessional, disrespectful treatment at a bar. If you're looking for a place where you feel welcome or even acknowledged, this is definitely not it.

    What a DOPE, PIRATE THEMED, speakeasy to go to grab some delicious drinks! Totally blown away!…read more Tucked, downtown Tampa you enter through a secret bookcase door and you enter a very low key pirate bar! Lighting is dim, which is part of the concept. (Auto flash is needed for pics) The joint, is VERY CLEAN! The staff is awesome and very attentive! They understand process. The drinks are SOOO WELL MADE! I had a Zombie as my first drink, and it is very well presented and STRONG! I prefer,my first drink at an establishment to be strong cause then I can lighten it up later. Then I had a Rum Barrel, not as strong, but well presented and delicious! Note: Prices for drinks are worth every dime! They have a small food menu, but everything on the menu looked delicious, but I did not eat there. This speakeasy is attached to a British pub which I went for food after. (Review to come) All-in-all great spot to come and have a drink you are well treated, appreciated and just a fun experience! I will DEFINITELY come back here for a delicious drink and DEFINITELY will try something off the food menu. I'll just make sure next time I won't go there after a big breakfast lol!

With all that was going on, it's a wonder we could find the exit after all the drinks. The pirate theme was the caveat.

Plenty of signature drinks, a dozen different beers and even a few dishes are offered. They stir a nice whiskey sour. It's really what suits your fancy. Fear not. They have mocktails, too! 12/25
