    Food was delicioso! Place was in a sketchy area but safe during the day for lunch! I went with three enchiladas verde with beef and had plantanos with cheese extra. Everything was delicious! First time having plantains with cheese and it was a great combo! Could use more plantains for the prices though!

    Mole and tamales

    Do it! Place your order and eat here!! So damn good!!! And I'm picky when it comes to mole!! And tamales are on point!! Yup just order!

    Primera y última vez que voy a esta fonda a comer la comida está Super cara como si fuera un restaurant de lujo y el servicio está pésimo por un plato me cobraron $15 nada que ver y por una orden de plátanos fritos seis dólares y traía tres rodajitas de plátanos me parece muy exagerado

    Taco plate & Tostadas

    Slow service but the food was delicious. My husband ordered the taco plate and I got the tostadas plate.

    Customer service is amazing, but in my opinion the food is extremely over priced and lacked flavor. I will also admit I did not order what I came to order because I didn't realize the enchiladas didn't have anything inside so I couldn't get chicken or steak inside. They also mentioned they only had pork so I decided to avoid the sopes. If I had to do it again I would have ordered the sopes or tacos. I would have given a 3 or 2 star based on the food I had, but I looked around and the place is very clean and I enjoyed myself watching the nba finals. The server was nice and even covered my change and gave us free sour cream. Which tasted more like a home made light whipped mayo. The bathrooms where clean and overall the whole place was very clean. I would give it another chance one day to try something else simply for the fact that I enjoyed myself.

    I've been here several times, food is good but my review is based on customer service today. It was horrible. I entered and not greeted, no one checked on me, I asked for coffee twice and wasn't given coffee till 10 mins after. I could see employees just in the back talking away with no care in the world that I was there or taking care of the store.

    What a wonderful discovery! Authentic taste and great service! Feeling of local small business!

    17. Picadas a la Mexicana
    Helen M.

    The food was immaculate, a solid a la mexicana, but the soles/picadas are were it's at! I want to come back and try their asada/bistec al pastor I didn't get any that time because their menu overwhelmed me with how good everything looked, Service & ambiance of the place were calming, relaxing

    Antojitos. The perfect way to try some of everything...because everything is delicious!

    Have you ever wondered what it would be like if you had a Mexican grandmother and you would go over to her house and she would feed you delicious things until you would pass out in a small pool of happy tears? Wonder no more and give this place a try. If you have a Mexican grandmother, by all means go visit her, but come here if she's not available. Here you will find Oaxacan style Mexican comfort food so good you might consider quitting your job and becoming a professional customer. The Antojitos plate is a great way to go if you want to try a variety of options. Sure it's an "appetizer" plate, but how else will you be able to taste the empanadas, gorditas, guarachas and tostadas on one plate? You can customize each individual item for which kind of meat ( or beans, or cheese) you'd like. Better yet, give up the headache of making a choice and just let your friendly employee choose what they think is best. It's a safe bet they will be right. Service is friendly. It's tiny and super casual. A perfect sort of place that feels like you are somehow both local and far away. If they bring you a fork with your antojitos, make sure you don't use it. This is handheld food at it's finest. Silverware is for cowards and royalty.

    Real Mexican food, served by real (spanish speaking) mexicans! Do not come here for Tex-Mex; no chips & salsa at Limon's. What they do have, is outstanding authentic mexican food at fair prices! Order at the counter; if you don't speak Spanish - just order by the numbers on the wall. Big photos adorn the wall-menu, so it is easy for gringoes to select winners! Drink choices are limited to whatever is sitting in the upright cooler; I enjoyed my cold orange Fanta! The black bean soup is thin enough to drink, but tasty enough that you'll want more. Great Tostadas and Empanadas were enjoyed at our table. Adequate seating for the small lunch crowd. What they lack in decor, they make up in food quality. Before we left, the owner came over to make sure we enjoyed our food. He also offered menu tips and invited us to return. A big tip of the sombrero for hospitality!

    I had been dying to try this place for like 8 months, and recently I finally got the chance to stop by their West Dallas location. I first want to say this is not a Tex-Mex restaurant nor is it your typical authentic Mexican food restaurant or taco spot. Limon's specializes in AUTHENTIC street food from Veracruz. The 2nd thing I want to say is it's going to take me multiple trips and multiple posts to truly showcase this place. It's that good. Literally almost every single thing on their menu is post worthy, and I truly mean that. It might be my new favorite Mexican spot. If you can't take my word for it, Dallas Observer named them one of the 100 must try restaurants of 2020 and one of the top 50 restaurants. Their empanadas are rated #1 on Yelp Dallas! This trip, we kept it pretty simple just so we could get a decent sample. I got the Combinado Jarocho which came with 2 empanadas (we recommend chicken), an egg with salsa verde, picadas jarochas, and refried black beans. I also had to try their Tamales Veracruzanos, which came beautifully wrapped in a banana leaf. Trixie got the Gorditas Veracruzanos with chicken. It was stuffed in what looked like a puffed and deep fried corn tortilla topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese and sour cream. They also kindly sent out a couple of tacos out for us to try. The al pastor was excellent, but that conchita pibil was the winner for me.

    Food is authentic, chilaquiles verdes are delicious!. Spicy Service is really fast and staff are great. The only cons is that this place needs more cleaning, floors were sticky.

    Looking for something to eat this place is simple and clean, food was good and the salsa was spicy. Tortillas are handmade and they have a lot of variety on the menu. We got a chicken tamale as an appetizer and it was delicious and full of meat. The fried plantains were crispy and yummy. The chilaquiles were crispy and the meat was really good. They also have family movies playing to enjoy your meal.

    Empanadas just like mom make so las cerca qué hay a Veracruz en dallas

    Finally made it to El Flamboyan. I've had this place bookmarked for so long now. The cabin fever…read morejust made me do the drive this time. Located in unassuming part of Wylie/St.Paul the restaurant is smack down in the middle of the strip along other places I wanted to try. I ordered their Carne Frita con Arroz. Flavorful chunks of pork which came with fried banana, rice, and beans.. Even though I've never had an actual Puerto Rican food, I expected a whole lot of flavor just by reading about cuisine. I really enjoyed the carne frita and thought it is almost similar to lechon kawali (Filipino dish) but this much leaner part of the pig. Service was very friendly, they'll answer any question you might have especially if you are unfamiliar with the names of some of the dishes. This is a family ran business, you'll feel that upon walking in. Very homey and welcoming. You'll be transported to PR while dining here.

    This was a hidden gem! They've been here for nearly 10 years, but today was our first time…read morevisiting... Now I'd be lying if I said I actually knew much about Puerto Rican food, or what to expect. As soon as we walked in, we were greeted and quickly told to sit where we pleased. I didn't catch our servers name, but he was extremely helpful and recommended our drinks as well as some of the items on the menu. While checking out all the pictures of their food on Yelp, I kept seeing the Cod Fritter pop up! I told him I definitely wanted to try that, probably the best thing I had. We also had Carne Frita, Carne Pernil and a pair of empanadas, one meat and the other cheese. Everything we had was delicious. But their arroz con gandules made everything better. We can't wait to come back and try some of the other items on the menu...
