Best place in oak cliff if y'all ever around the area stop by and try it out everything on their menu is good and homemade. Owners are very attentive to their customers felt like I was in Mexico. I would really recommend it to anyone who's craving Mexican food! read more

This is legit authentic Mexican Food. "Street Taco" shops are popping up everywhere and are now a dime a dozen. I decided to give this place a try because I wanted to have a meal that made me feel like I was out of the city and deep in Mexico. Glad I took a chance on this place. I figured I order the "#1 Gorditas Veracruzanas". Jesus! (No not the kitchen staff; his name was something else) Jesus, this food was fresh, amazing, and definitely not routine. The serving was more than a fat boy can eat, and yes I am a fat boy. The hot sauce was not for the weak; it had just the right amount of kick to go with the flavor. The "desebrada" meat filling was seasoned to perfection, just like my Tia Juaquina used to make. I had an horchata that quenched the fire in my mouth, but the bonus was the fresh coconut shreds within the milky goodness. I'm definitely going back soon to try their other items. read more

Ok my wife and just came back from having dinner there, although something I never heard of is this, the gentleman who took our order told us they don't Serve top water because of a city ordinance, really? I thought dallas was one of the finest drinkable waters in the country, maybe your plumbing is not good but then again if is not at the city's standards how come are you open? Sir, I worked in the finest restaurants around DFW for 32 years and never heard of that, he told us it was s new thing, really? We just had dinner at Rocco's on Saturday night and we were serve regular water, and the night before at Pier 247 and they gave us regular water, and I can go on and on and on, but again you can win them all lol!! Thanks... read more

Had the enfrijoladas and my husband had the pozole. Delicious, authentic, huge portions. Pozole is only available on weekends. Had a couple Mexican Cokes to go with our food. Highly recommend. read more

Dropped by for lunch (a little hard to find but after two u-turns we found it!). Interior is low key with about 5 booths and one large table. Preparation was fast. Food was absolutely delish! Spicy! Loved it! Just don't expect a focus on service...it's all about the food here. That's not necessarily a bad thing but there's a moment of uncertainty when dining here for the first time since no one is smiling. The food will keep us coming back though. Yum. Yum. read more

Phenomenal! First time so I asked for recommendation. Ordered the "sample" plate (not on menu). Consisted of a tostada, empanada, Gordita and a garnacha. This will be a regular stop for me, my family and my team. read more

The Veggie Garnachas are soooo bomb! I come to this place with my family all the time, one of the few places that has food my toddlers will actually eat, its family oriented and the children are nice! Good service! read more

This place may be small and the area may not be as attractive to visit but don't get discouraged. This place is authentic. The tortillas are made hand which is great! I recommend the tacos al pastor and borrego. Great sides for your food are the delicious fried beans and rice. Many great plates choose from but one of my favs is "Platillo Limón". Lastly, the Agua Horchata is a must which I highly recommend. I hope this text finds you well. Don't miss out! read more

As much as we love this place, we can't go anymore. The last two visits, we found hair in our food. :( -------------------------------------------------------- This place was delicious!! Great customer service and the food was fresh and arrived to our table quickly! We will be back again! read more

So yummy! The food was fresh and delicious. I could see behind the curtain and it was like 4 abuelas cooking up a storm back there in the kitchen! read more

I discovered this new gem on New Years Eve. I was tired of all the tried and true Mexican joints in North Oakcliff. So I did a Yelp search for "best hole in the wall Mexican food"and LImon's popped up!!! Upon entering the place, we were met by a very friendly, enthusiastic young lady. The menu was on the wall with photos of each dish. The food was fantastic! It's a BYOB place and it must be a neighborhood favorite. Very busy for a holiday afternoon though we were the only gringos in the place. I hope the people in the suburbs don't find out!!! read more

Came to visit from California, this place is authentic southern Mexican food. We sampled the whole menu. Everything is great. My favorite was the tamales and the empanadas. read more

I was hungry for lunch I came in and asked for the tamales and they are very delicious because , their food is very authentic to the Veracruz Mexico food and all I can say is it's awesome next I'm going to try there Tostadas ......... read more

Limon's Restaurant - This little restaurant is just a hole in the wall but man it's going to grow fast - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

MY NEW FAVORITE RESTAURANT IN OAK CLIFF. By the looks if it on the outside you might be a bit skeptical about trying this joint out but let me tell you my friends you WON'T regret it! The food is very authentic here it takes me back to my days in Mexico eating my abuelitas comida. AND the service here is like no other. The first two times I came the hostest remembered me as well as what I ordered. Very sweet and humble owners, you can really tell that they love what they do and it reflects in the food. Hands down amazing service and amazing food! read more

Limon's Restaurant - Some of the BEST tacos in Oak Cliff, HANDS DOWN! - Mexican Near Me - Dallas, Texas

I recently tried this place with my family and it was great! It's a small shop, mom and pop style. I felt like the food was Mexican home cooking. I enjoyed the mole enchiladas and pork (looks red because it's marinated). It's a very causal atmosphere. A word of caution is that some meals are only available on the weekends, but if you're open to trying anything then it's no big deal. read more

This place is so delicious!! Must try!! We had the empanadas and garnachas. The staff is super friendly and even gave us a little history lesson on what part of Mexico these delicious recipes came from. We will be back for sure. The soups look very good too. I'm trying it next time. read more

Love, love, love Limon's. Very traditional in every sense and absolutely delicious. The empanadas might be the best in town.

As a Veracruzan I have searched for authentic Veracruzan food. I have gone to several places searching and the only place that I felt like home is here. Every plate feels like mi Abuelita made it. Every plate reminds me of home. Eating here is like being with family. I cannot recommend this place enough! read more

Came to deep ellum for some REAL Mexican food. No places up north this authentic. I'll keep it simple we had mole enchiladas, and guraches! YUM! Perfectl fried, salsa on top. Ordered them mix and match so I could try them all. I will be back! read more

The food is the bomb. So is the service. The price- more than fair. And frankly, a perfect place to grab a bite with a loved one or alone. Delicious authentic tacos, I got bistec and some black beans. What more does one need in a charming setting? read more

Loved my food. The tamales were very tender and good flavor, not easy to find in Dallas. Take your own beer, it's byob. I have been looking for more authentic Mexican options and this is the only one I've found in Dallas other than taco places. This food actually has flavor and balance of spicy, tart, sour, sweet, salty, rich, etc.that you find in Mexico. I am bored with Tex-mex and even the higher end places ( Mesero, Jose, Komali's, Meso Maya, El Bolero ) seem to have bland flavor profiles and kind of "dumbed" down Americanized menu options. I say the market is ripe for some authentic and unusual Mexican flavors. read more

This is my favorite authentic Mexican restaurant! It reminds me of my Abuelitas food, you cannot go wrong with anything on the menu.

Limon's is an absolutely incredible establishment. From the food to the service (which was some of the best I've ever had by the way) this place exceeded my expectations BY FAR. I had the pleasure of trying many different dishes including: The Chicken Mole Enchiladas with Al Pastor, Chicken Tamales Veracruz Style, Shredded and ground Beef Empanadas, and Cochinita Pibil and Al Pastor Tacos. Every single thing was incredible!!!! Fresh made tortilla, soft and moist masa in the tamales, rich but well balanced Mole sauce, and some of the most tender meat I've had. But the icing on the cake was the complimentary fried plantains they brought my family after the meal. Wow, not only did this show me the incredible hearts of the people who work here, but these, like many other things I had here, were some of the best I've ever had!! Bottom line: Limon's is serving authentic Veracruz style Mexican cuisine, with staff and ownership that's worthy of 5 stars. Go check this place out NOW!! read more

The home made tortilla's were awesome!! Best I've ever had. Meat seasoned to perfection

Even better than described! We had the enchiladas, gorditas, garnachas, and tacos with asada. Loved every bite!

Found this gem while driving around looking for a great mexican restaurant. We were skeptical at first but decided to give it a try. Boy were we glad we gave in. The customer service was outstanding and the food was one of the best we ever had. Very light, non greasy and satisfying to the stomach. The tamales veracruzanos and empanadas were AMAZING! If you're around the area give it a try!!!! You will not be disappointed! read more

Best Mexican food out there hands down. You will not be disappointed. Love their Gorditas and the barbacoa they have on the weekends! It is not the cheapest option but always worth every penny. read more

Now this is REAL Authentic Mexican food, everything here is delicious and fresh, I highly recommend the tacos the pastor and cochinita pibil with homemade tortillas, their tacos are some of the best in North TX I dare to say. The tamales don't disappoint as well, try them Veracruz style. read more

Came here yesterday with my other half and I couldn't wait for him to try the food. (It was already my 4th time eating there) there is normally a guy at the front desk and he always helps me order something different, but this time it was a lady at the front and omg she was Soo RUDE. I almost cancelled my entire order. Literally disgusted by her attitude. The food was great but the customer service yesterday was awful. She should be trained on her customer service skills if you are going to be in the front taking orders as u are the face of the establishment at that moment. That could keep a 5 star restaurant at a 4 star. No one wants to eat at a place where they lack customer service skills. Do better ! read more

I love this place, tasty food and very friendly staff. This is real authentic Mexican food, just like abuelita used to make. When my roommate first moved out to Oak Cliff I took him here to taste some of the best tamales and tacos and now it's his favorite place. Food's on point, price is affordable and walking in there feels authentic. Highly recommend anyone to visit here! read more

Here for a quick bite while getting tires replaced. Limon's is clean and orderly, the staffbis friendly. We ordered the #1 Gorditas Veracruz and the #4 Garnachas de pollo. Both dishes were tasty. Salt content was adequate and on point. The food was not over fried and wasn't overly greasy. The house salsa had good flavor and not too spicy. read more

Really good food, the enchiladas Rojas were amazing. You could taste the adobo chiles in the sauce and it all seemed fresh!

Tacos were fantastic and service even better! Everything we tasted was great. You need to check this place out!

I love Limon's. As a Mexican I'm always trying to find authentic food and this place is it! Everything in the menu is delicious and fair prices! I tried the tostadas and my husband the enchiladas de mole and it was one of those meals were you just want to lick your fingers, haha. DE-LI-CIOUS. Highly recommend to anybody looking for real Mexican food. read more

Excellent homemade food! Everything in the menu is awesome. Check it out! Going to come back to try their mole and pozole on the weekend.

When I saw that this restaurant had 30 reviews all rating this restaurant as 5 Stars (at the time of this posting) I was skeptical of whether the reviews were legitimate or not, but I can confirm the reviews are correct. I live in Miami where we have some great Mexican restaurants and Limon's is the real deal. Family owned everything is made from scratch and our group had a sampler platter of tostadas, gorditas, empanadas and garnachas along with some tacos and pozole de puerco and everything was great. Homemade tortillas and some house sauces make this place worth the trip. read more

Trying out new places!! This place was AMAZING and it lived up to the reviews!! We were actually heading to Tacos El Si Hay but came across the reviews for Limon's restaurant and decided to come here instead. I definitely recommend coming here! You will not be disappointed. Sooooo delicious! read more

Man this place is excellent! My girlfriend and I stopped in after reading another review while driving through the neighborhood. We were not disappointed. The flavors were great..We had the mole chicken (weekend special), tacos, tamales, and beef/pork combination plate. Hands down this is the best Mexican restaurant I've tried in Dallas, and I'm hard to please. read more

The mole here is spectacular, and they dish it out in generous helpings for a very reasonable price. Highly recommended!

Good authentic Mexican food! I rarely go to Mexican restaurants because my family is Mexican and cooks so well so nothing is ever as good. But my cousin and I were craving sopes so we found this place nearby and decided to try it- we'll be back!! We got the gorditas and enmoladas which were both great! The mole was a bit spicier than were used to (we like sweeter mole), but it was still good. And the gorditas were very flavorful and toppings all fresh. The environment was very clean and tidy. There are televisions on all corners and the volume was a little Loud so we moved to the middle tables away from the sound. Still a great place to eat at any time Of the day! Service was also great! read more
