Well well well....what do we have here!? A fresh looking place with Mexican food and drinks, IM IN! A set up similar to Chipotle but with a lot more options. Tacos, burritos, tortas, and of course bowls. I ventured to the the bowl life as it was recommend by staff because I was starving. I went white rice, double chicken, and a ton of veggies. What's cool is the Mexican veggie options like pickled onion, and cotija cheese. They have this sweet corn that was pretty flavorful. Did I mention drinks...when I say drinks I mean alcoholic beverages including a full bar with draft beer. We sat on the outside patio at night which was extremely pleasant. I had a four peaks 22 oz to go with my bowl and I was full! Come check it out, however beware they close at 10. Super bummer! Besides that I'm definitely going again, see ya ther read more

Stumbled upon this place while working. I noticed they have an all you can eat fish fry on Fridays which my husband loves. He was very happy with the fish meal. Batter was light and fluffy. The portion of fish is huge. I had the house marg, it was refreshing. Also had the fideo soup which was amazing and the enchiladas were also very tasty. Nice patio which is dog friendly. I'll be back for tamale Thursday for sure. read more

Holy moly !!!!! This place is fantastic !!!! The food and more importantly the staff were amazing!! (Lindsay) The owner came out and said hello as well. Do yourself a favor and come here you won't regret it. My fav the pork green chili taco. (That's just me) We were here for lunch so didn't indulge but if you like tequila come check out their large selection. I'm also told their Cinco De Mayo on the patio with music will be a blast, check it out. read more

Skip this place. I found myself looking for a quick bite on a Friday night and got right in. That should have been my first clue. Food is marginal at best and awful for other items. Wait staff was awesome. Manager was terrible and refused to take anything off after the kitchen messed up. Thumbs down. As an aside, they don't know what they want to be. Sports bar, bar or Mexican joint. read more

Very first visit and was very impressed with customer service. Chips and salsa was very good. I enjoyed the crunch on my taquitos. The beef though was a bit dry but still finished everything and tasted just fine. If I could give some positive criticism on the beef taquitos is try finding a way to make it more moist (cringe word) lol. The chicken fajitas was sizzling hot when it came out so that was awesome! Taste was alright, didn't blow my taste buds out of the water or anything. Was told that the owner's grandmother comes in daily to make fresh masa for the tortillas and chips. I can definitely taste the freshness in the two. Would recommend for friendly neighborhood bar! Only reason I did not rate 5 star is because none of the flavors of the two dishes that I tried, blew my socks off. Not bad place at all though! :) read more

I'm not normally one to write reviews, but this was such an atrocious experience, I felt inclined to. I used to enjoy Limón, it was a fresh twist on the popularity of Chipotle, with a bar! However, this is my first time dropping in since the apparent remodel. They have swithched away from the Chipotle look by being a "Dine-In" restaurant, in hopes to drive drink sales and tips, which is understandable. The issue is, the burrito pictured came to $13.97 after guacamole was added. The burrito is approximately 5.5" long, which as most men will tell you, is laughably small. Standard price is $9.99 for all proteins, which means for a standard chicken burrito the price is $3.49 (~+53.7%)more expensive than Chipotle, for a burrito 40% smaller and the same quality. This is egregious, and im sorry to have been gouged for such mediocre product. I can assure you ill never make that mistake again. read more

We ate lunch there today, it was very disappointing to say the least, the food was atrocious not only is it way way over priced but the quality is not up to standard, my burrito was basically nothing but rice and a little bit of carnitas that was definitely old meat, the sopapillas are way over rated, two little sopapillas for eight dollars is disgusting, the only good thing I can say, is that the lady that greeted us was the only good thing of the whole event, I will never go back and never recommend it read more

Ordered To-Go from the new limon! Overall was pretty good. We hate ordering Togo because it usually is a disappointment. However we ordered fajitas the portions were good, taste was good (maybe could have been spiced up a little bit more)! The wings were AMAZING!!! We really enjoyed them! We will definitely be eating here again. One negative was we had to ask for salsa and they still only gave us 1 small container.

Just want to give proper recognition to this establishment. Number 1, it is dog friendly. We LOVE that because on the norm... if we can't take the furry babies with us we can't eat there. So that was a huge plus! This is a family owned business as Erica our server shared with us. She was was the sweetest. It was a bit chilly out and they accommodated us with a heater and the best sunshine table in the patio. The establishment is very clean and well run. We ordered a taco salad with grilled chicken. It was delicious and the chicken was so tender. The food came out promptly. I had a delicious prickly pear margarita as I prefer my drinks on the sweeter side. It was delicious! Her brother was so upbeat and positively energized. I LOVE eating in places where people make you feel welcomed and appreciated, as well as, feeling that they too are enjoying what they do in creating a pleasant experience. I hope you stop by and have the same level of enjoyment we did. I'm grateful for places and people like this place has to offer. read more

We were startled to walk in and find counter service, as we hadn't expected that. We loved the many protein options and the varied menu choices. It was a lot like Chipotle but with more topping options, including their take on elote, both fresh and pickled jalapeños, and pickled onions. The table we wanted to sit at hadn't been cleaned - in a while - and had dried salsa on it. Since they weren't cr) very busy, it would have been nice to have all of the tables clean. The happy hour margaritas on tap were just okay, but there were quite a few fresh made options on the menu and the option of tequila flights. At $4, though, we can't complain too much about tequila on tap. The staff were extremely friendly, which was refreshing. All in all, we'd come back for a quick, casual meal. read more

We tried this place out on a Monday night. They were not busy, so you'd expect to have some great service, but you'd be wrong. The service was slowwww. Our initial drink orders took a while, then the cocktails took as least as long to show up, but hen we waited and waited to order food. I ordered a water with my margarita which never showed up. The wait for the food oddly wasn't too long, but apparently they only bus tables after you leave, because we had all of our appetizer plates clogging up the table while we ate our entrees all of which remained on the table until after we left, who knows, maybe they're still there? It also took ages to get our check, we thought maybe they forgot we were there. The food was mediocre at best. I had the Enjitomatada which wasn't inedible, but the amount of gristle in the meat was less than impressive. The beans were flavorless and lukewarm. The rice was ok. My wife had a chicken torta. She had one word to describe it: underwhelming. Two stars instead of one only because the margarita was decent and they have a nice patio. We won't go back. read more

We just moved into the neighborhood, and couldn't be more pleasantly surprised at the quality and taste of the food at this restaurant. It's almost like eating street food in Los Angeles, and we are so excited that we found a place just like this. We talked with the owners, and apparently they bought out the restaurant three years ago and have totally changed everything. If you haven't Limon recently,, you are missing out on one of the best local Mexican restaurants we have tried. The drinks are handcrafted and the food is made by hand and the service is absolutely incredible. You can DoorDash or come in. Either way, the experience is wonderful. I highly recommend if you live near the Sonoran desert community, you give this a try. You will not be disappointed. This is our third time in a week and we are hooked. read more

I have been enjoying Limon for the last year. Love the prickly pear margaritas and street tacos. Due to Covid-19, I have refrained from going to restaurants except on rare occasions. I went last week with friends and sat outside. It wasn't crowded and the server wore a mask (it is currently mandated in Phoenix), so I felt comfortable going back the following week with my family. Unfortunately, yesterday, our servant (pleasant as she was), was not wearing a mask. As a server, she was above us which meant any aerosol from her would come down to us. I was very disappointed that Limon apparently is not enforcing the mask mandate after all. I'm hesitant as to whether or not we will return during the pandemic. So 5 stars for food and beverage but 1 for pandemic policy, which averages a three. Based on their quick and positive response, I am editing this to a 5. My husband loves that they have Lumberyard Hefe and wants to go back for happy hours. read more

My buddy and I came here today for lunch to celebrate a new job he got. I really wanted to like this place a little more than I did. Perhaps I should have read the past reviews of some of my fellow Yelp'ers before indulging. First, it's a fairly new spot, I guess and not busy at all. We arrived at 11:30 or so this morning. Tons of ample parking and a very clean parking lot on the north end of town right off Dove Valley. Very, very convenient location. The restaurant was clean, the employees were friendly and attentive and the restrooms were equally clean. The decor is bright and vibrant. It's a good chill spot you could probably hang out at after a long day at work. Despite the word "tequila" in their name, I did not have any tequila. So.... the food. I opted for (3) street tacos which is an item on their menu. Like some of my fellow Yelp'ers stated in their reviews, I was hoping this place would have been just a tad more authentic. Don't get me wrong. What Limon does, they do very well, but it's typical Qdoba / Chipotle fare with not a whole lot of authentic-ness (I totally just made that word up.) Perhaps I was expecting a bit more and perhaps I put them up on a pedestal a bit higher than I should have. My corn tortillas fell apart quite easily. The pork carnitas was almost 'wet' in a way. Very difficult and odd to describe, but it was not the typical carnitas that you would be used to here in Arizona. The pico de gallo was quite fresh, but lacking a lot of flavor. Their hot salsa was neither hot nor flavorful, but again, I just think perhaps I was expecting a bit more and Limon fell just a hair short of what I wanted for lunch today. I think stacked up against a Chipotle or Qdoba and Limon is at home among these lunch contenders. But when I think of authentic street tacos, this is not the place I would recommend when trying to entertain or impress out of town guests. In all fairness, perhaps it was an off day. Despite my expectations being unfulfilled, the restaurant is very clean with plenty of ample indoor and outdoor seating areas. The floor was clean and the employees were friendly and polite. Perhaps I will give Limon another try in the near future, but with so many awesome and authentic restaurants here in the Valley - unfortunately, it may not be anytime soon. read more

If you don't like something it's cause you messed it up lol. It's your choice of base and then load on toppings had heard some thing's didn't experience them. Portions where a lil big, but that's cause I added to much. I was hungry & in full fat kid mode! Left to right: Chicken, cabbage, pickled onions, green salsa. Tasty and will do again!

Disappointed with this local joint .. the $10.00 guacamole was clearly not made in house disappointment # 1. Disappointment #2 was the street tacos I order, one carne and one chicken recommended by waitress (who was the best thing about this place ). Chicken taco was not even edible it was in some kind of marinade that wasn't appetizing so I didn't eat it . One would think living in AZ ,heart of the southwest their would be several GOOD local Mexican food joints everywhere. I struggle to find one in the north valley so I continue to just make it at home myself. Here are my suggestions if interested: 1-make your own guacamole it's not that difficult and I wouldn't mind paying 10 bucks if it was house made . 2-the head chef should be taste testing the food everyday making sure the seasonings are correct.. I think you start there and you would be on your way to becoming a great local spot worth waiting for. read more

If you don't know what to order, here's the move: Get one taco or an especial if you're a cheese enthusiast, a medium fry with your topping of choice, and guac with chips. That's the kind of meal that makes you sit in your car afterward thinking about your life choices in a positive way. Enjoy. And maybe stretch beforehand because you're going to want to fight someone over the last hongos fry.

I will forever come here every time I make to Phoenix/Scottsdale. Taco shells are made in house and…read moremake the tacos elite. They make my tacos just how I ask every time I come, and I make changes! Most recently was last night after a rough rental car situation (avoid NU check those reviews eek) and the bartender was awesome. Quick service, friendly and took my order perfectly. Strawberry lemonade is my absolute favorite and if you know me I'm a lemonade girl. Tacos are perfect, the meat has virtually no weird fat on them like most tacos do. Both carne and chicken. Delicious. I'm here for five days this trip and I'm going back for sure, may end up at the Tempe location too. I should mention the great atmosphere and getting I got, a "welcome in" from the ladies behind the counter as well as the bartender I wish I got his name. Thank you for making my night :)

I didn't know this place would not have table service. You order at the register. That sucks for…read morethe servers because they won't make service tips and they still bring stuff to the tables often. The water is serve yourself and they ran out of both of them. I feel like thats a rubios or mc Donald's vibe. Ceviche should be like $11, $14 wasn't worth it. Vegetable taco should be cheaper than all the tacos and it was just sweet potato inside. The tacos are good but they're not what I was expecting. This is more of a fast food style taco. The whole restaurant reminds me of Rubios. The only things we didn't like were the chips and the rice and beans were not good at all, not even Mexican. But like I said the food is good with nice flavors but for a $5 taco I expected plates and table service. No one wants to stand up to order a marg and then order another one after, they'll prob just order 1 marg and go somewhere else when they're done eating, it's not smart. It's not relaxing to eat here after work. We were all fighting for the tables and it's not a vibe. Not enough inside seats and tons of outdoor seats. I'd totally tell the owner to close up the register area, expand the kitchen, and get the girls to be servers. No one wants to pay full price ceviche and tacos to a restaurant with no table service. The vibe doesn't match the price so I think you should change the vibe to be high end and step up service to match the prices of food. Or match the vibe to a fast food all the way and change some prices. The food is fast so they can easily do a drive thru or walk up and order window. Should be $3 for veggie, $4 for regular taco $5 for loaded or special tacos with expensive The guac matches the vibes! Sold in plastic cups. And $6.50 $4 on happy hour. That explains the vibes of the restaurant perfectly.

I recommend the asada, the hazz, the Lorenza, and anything with the beans. Order at the counter, they'll call your name when your order is ready, and the seating is casual and open. They have a selection of aguas frescos, but I usually like a classic bottled coke for the perfect beverage pairing.

This location is a standalone with a decent patio. Parking is minimal but seemed like there were enough people coming and going. I got a spot right away. Note when leaving you'll have to go right - heading North on 43rd. The staff here were really nice! It was very busy and after ordering, I was standing with others waiting for my food when the other cashier called me up to check on me, thinking I hadn't figured out the process. He was very nice! The place was packed people finished quickly so getting a table wasn't hard. They also had someone cleaning up tables quickly. I got a carne asada caramelito and a carne asada taco. The caramelito continues to be my favorite of the two. Love the roasted salsa on the salsa bar though the hot red one is really good too! I do wish their guac salsa had more tang and salt. I find it bland. These are among my fave tacos but not my absolute so thus the 4 stars.

We were a bit worried with parking because we saw that it was in downtown, but they have a designated private lot for customers. Inside was so spacious and had such cool decor. It definitely made the vibe more fun. This is also the first location that I saw with the combo deal compared to the one I usually go to in Gilbert. We ordered carne asada and al pastor tacos and mulitas. So so good. I loveee how you can choose between corn or flour for your tortilla. I like the corn tortilla more. The sauces and toppings were left out for us to take which I appreciate so much. If you want jalapeno or grilled onions, you have to ask them at the pick up station. The horchata was also hugee and sharable. I am definitely coming back when I am in the area. I love how there are plenty of tacos calafia location. They also take apple pay.

We ordered 2 different types of burritos (Cali and chile relleno) and a carnita taco/ birria taco and asada taco. The food was just ok. The meat had no flavor at all. The birria taco is supposed to be crunchy and it was soggy. It just was pretty mediocre tasting and I really wanted to like it.

Out of all the restaurants I had before leaving Arizona, THIS ended up being one of the places I couldn't stop thinking about after I moved away. Ever since leaving, I've randomly craved these tacos constantly. I've tried other taco spots in Denver hoping something would compare, but honestly nothing really hit the same. So when I came back out to Phoenix recently to visit some friends, this was one of the first places I knew I needed to come back to because I had built it up so much in my head over time. And somehow... it was just as good again. The meat tastes incredibly fresh, flavorful, and well-seasoned, and you can literally watch them prepare everything right in front of you, which makes the whole experience even better. There's something so satisfying about seeing the tacos being made fresh instead of food just appearing from the kitchen. You can tell they care about quality and consistency. The servers were also super friendly and welcoming both times I came here, which honestly makes such a difference. Everyone had great energy, the service was quick, and the whole place just feels inviting and authentic. I honestly think the fact that I remembered this place so vividly for so long says everything. Usually when you revisit a restaurant after hyping it up in your head for years, it ends up disappointing you. But this place tasted exactly how I remembered it, fresh, flavorful, comforting, and absolutely worth the obsession. Safe to say this place is officially a mandatory stop for me anytime I'm back in Phoenix now.
