    LOCO NACHOS

    Love this hidden gem. They have the best margaritas and their food is over the top in flavor and the portions are great as well. Their tacos are so tasty and they have a wide variety. Excellent service too!

    TRIO DIP VF
    Miller Q.

    One of my favorite taco spots in Tampa! They have a pretty good happy hour 3-7 pm everyday with drinks and food specials. Red sangria was light, not too sweet while still being fruity. We always start with the trio, the queso is my favorite out of the three. The fajita bowl was great with big pieces of chicken and veggies on the avocado rice. Also can't go wrong with the tacos, the Boss Hog is my favorite. Plantains are made maduro style, fried and sweet. Service was good, our server made sure we had everything we needed. Ambiance is casual and it can get loud when it's busy, which it almost always is. Definitely worth a try if you like Tex-Mex or a fun happy hour!

    CRISPY TREES

    The crispy trees are delicious. My side of rice & beans was tasty and hit the spot. The service was exquisite and the ambiance of this place is refreshing. Happy hour specials are a good deal here. Yum!

    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.

    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.

    Absolutely one of my favorite restaurants in Tampa and possibly the world. Everything on the menu is great, but I usually stick to the tacos. The parking can get a little rough on Tuesdays, but other than that you can find parking in any of the surrounding lots. They always have high energy waitresses and the vibes with good music. If ever there is a wait you can always go the open seating area and order from the bar. They have the best tacos and queso dip in the world (trust me I know because I travel the world). The drinks and I mean all of them from the margaritas to the sangria is strong and good. They also have happy hour everyday from 3pm-7pm. I am always looking forward to my next visit.

    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.

    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.

    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 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!

    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!

    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!

    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 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

    Do you have to be 21 to get into green lemon after a certain time?

All was inviting, and a great way to remove yourself from the very busy atmosphere of the Marriott lobby which was crowded. We sat at the bar since we loved to be surrounded by the activity of the place. We started off with their special spicy margarita and ceviche. Loved that it was more Peruvian style, and not the tomato based one. More my preference of the lime taste. Then for dinner my husband had the strip steak, and I had the chicken fajitas. Both were flavorable, especially the sides, especially the corn cake type side, that were served with the strip steak. Both were seasoned well. My husband's flank steak, though delicious, was overcooked. The bar tender was attentive and answered all our questions about the menu, and provided some great suggestion including which entrees were most popular and also her favorites. Definitely will come back. Will also order the carne asada again but make sure to tell the server to cook the steak more medium rare than medium.

    If you are in Ybor City and trying to enjoy yourself without lighting your wallet on fire, Barrio…read moreTacos is a very smart move. What I appreciated most is the build your own taco option, because it allows you to order exactly what you want without paying for a bunch of filler ingredients you were going to push to the side anyway. When you strip it down to the proteins and toppings you actually like, the cost savings are real. In a place like Ybor, where prices can creep up quickly, that matters. Now, the à la carte menu can feel a little confusing at first glance. It is not the most straightforward ordering system if you are just breezing through. But once someone walks you through it and you understand how to piece your order together, it becomes completely worth it. You end up with exactly what you want, and you are not overpaying for things you did not ask for. The vibe was great. The service was friendly and patient, which helps when you are trying to decode the menu. And the location is ideal. There is an outdoor patio with umbrellas on the sunny side of the street, which gives you options. You can sit in the sun if you want that warm Florida glow, or you can stay shaded if you are protecting your skin but still want to be outside watching the action unfold on the strip. And let's be honest, half the entertainment in Ybor is people watching. Add in the random roosters casually strolling around like they own the neighborhood, and you have a full show with your meal. I loved everything about this place and highly recommend it if you want to save a few bucks on food while still soaking up everything Ybor City has to offer. Good tacos, good vibes, good people watching. Hard to beat that combination.
