They get a lot right for simple burritos and bowls portioned generously with tasty ingredients. Their meats are very good, especially the barbacoa and steak. All of their sauces are fresh and very solid. My only complaint was one bad breakfast burrito. I ordered it with sour cream (one of the uber eats menu options), and they must have added it when the eggs were piping hot, because it completely melted and left a soupy burrito. Of the times I've gotten bacon, I've also been very disappointed by soggy, stringy meat. (TLDR: avoid the sour cream and bacon on breakfast burritos here) read more

Tacos are big for price and flour tortillas have great texture (slightly crisped). Had the steak capitan and favorito tacos and both were delicious. Four choices of salsa and they are all tasty too. Will be back' read more

Salsa Limón - Asada burrito - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

This is the most underrated taco spot near UT. I always get the steak taco and the bacon, egg, cheese, and potato breakfast taco. The latter is definitely my favorite item on the menu (eggs are cooked fresh, bacon is crispy, and the potatoes are nicely crisp on the edges). The staff are nice, and the only downside is that it can be a bit of a walk from UT campus. read more

Came here opening day and my experience was flawless. I got the burrito with carne asada. The tortilla was toasted which gave it a nice texture. The meat was perfectly seasoned and not too oily at all. The rice was just right. I paired it with a variety of salsas. The habanero has a kick and couldn't stop putting it on the burrito. I washed it all down with a frozen marg with a grand marnier floater. These frozen margs will be perfect for the summer as they have the consistency of a slushy or icee. Can't be wait to try the other options on the menu. read more

The atmosphere is super nice with an eclectic modern vibe. I got the Barbados which was super tasty and a good amount of complexity in the flavor profile. The chicken in the chicken taco was seasoned well but the taco as a whole was underwhelming. It might have tasted better with more add ons but that would've been $6 for a small taco. Overall I was unimpressed with how small the tacos were for the price and how the flavor profiles weren't astounding or complex read more

I've been here several times and it's always a great experience. Great for large groups or just for pickup. This is a great place all around and is in such a convenient location. read more

The pride of the owners and their staff for their Mexican heritage is evident in their food, drinks and hospitality. We thoroughly enjoyed their queso, chips and salsa for starters, and the tacos and drinks were equally excellent. I mixed the refried beans and salsa to scoop up with the chips which were delicious. This place is truly a gem. Not to mention that we met some amazing people this afternoon. read more

New favorite tacos in Austin! Delicious food, friendly, clean and comfortable. I have a hard time not eating here every day.

Might as well order just a cheese quesadilla when getting a carne guisada quesadilla. The queso that came with the chips was horrible, seems like they love to add salt like there is no tomorrow. The carne guisada was chopped into very small squares and they sure cared how much to put in the quesadilla( not much at all! ). Place did not have the items mentioned on the website and it was an overall very disappointing experience. Just got to Torchy's , it's around the corner. read more

Salsa Limon was chill. Tacos were very affordable, like $2-4 each. That being said, you get what you pay for, and while I found them to be rather filling, I don't think the flavor was up there with some of the more pricey taco places. Service was pleasant and pretty quick, and the Ambiance was that of your regular stop-in taco joint. read more

Needed a quick place to eat after a comedy show at the Ballroom Spiderhouse, and luckily Salsa Limon was still open late! The restaurant was very interesting, very colorful inside, with a wide array of decorations. Some of it felt random, but it did make it very interesting to just look around and see how the restaurant was arranged. Guac and chips - pretty standard, nothing special La baby - I really enjoyed this! It was sorta like a quesadilla, except with two corn tortillas and a mixture of cheese, beans, potato in the quasadilla. El Capitan with mushrooms - good vegetarian taco, I tried it with a couple different salsas and both were tasty and pretty spicy. read more

Salsa Limón - Pov, me and my mom looking at our food - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

This was my 2nd time here - the first time my Husband and I randomly stopped in for a margarita and some tacos and were blown away by the deliciousness of everything! For one, both their rocks and frozen margaritas taste so fresh and limey, but not overly sweet, and their salsas are to die for - they have different heat levels for everyone's taste buds. Naturally we had to go back for their breakfast! I ordered the chilaquiles, which were piled high with chips, salsa, beans, cheese and avocado - more than enough for 1 person! We have definitely found our new "Mexican breakfast" and happy hour spot! read more

Only went in for a margarita and service and both were terrible. Ordering is confusing and you get treated poorly when you finally figure it out and the kiosks don't work. There's a sign that says "smile you're on camera" but the employees need a sign that says "smile you're in customer service". Won't come back to try the food and do not recommend. read more

Came in from San Antonio this early morning and this place had just opened can't complain this food is delicious and fast !!! read more

Salsa Limón - Papa con chorizo and the barbacoa tacos are great too! - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

Decided to try something new on ubereats and this place was very disappointing. I even added extra Asada to my burrito and there was still barely any asada in the burrito. The same with the asada quesadilla. The quality of meat was definitely not good. Chipotle's way better. Highly do not recommend. read more

I really liked Salsa Limon. The space is well designed, the tacos are excellent, with a lot of vegan and vegetarian options, the staff are friendly, and the prices are good. Their happy hour is EXCELLENT - Monday-Friday, 4-6pm (no weird hours), $5 rocks margaritas which are house-made, and super cheap beers (I think like $4???). Honestly, no notes. I got the mushroom taco and the carnitas taco and that was more than enough for dinner. The salsas are hot and made fresh. I don't know if this location is just cursed because I also liked the popsicle shop that was here before and nobody went there, but Salsa Limon is worth checking out! read more

the granjero tacos were amazing!! Fresh goodness spilling out if homemade corn tortillas. Frozen mango margarita was delightful. Wonderful neighborhood taco joint! read more

Wow. If you like "Mexican" food completely DEVOID of flavor, then Salsa Limon is the place for you. We haven't been going out a lot other than our local downtown spots since it's been nice to be cooking back at home after being gone for so long, but came here on Friday night. HUGE MISTAKE. The food is terrible, and this new restaurant will go the way of the doomed popsicle place before it and be closed soon enough. Their preferred ingredient here is AGUA. The queso and salsa were watery and bland and the "margaritas" tasted like someone squirted some lime in some water and splashed tequila on top (the "frozen" one was like a slushy that had been sitting out all day; also, both drinks were served AFTER the food arrived). The guac was nothin' but mashed avocado and the "salsita salad," which is advertised as having "mixed greens" arrived with only iceberg and--you guessed it--the most watery and flavorless dressing imaginable. We got it with barbacoa, and this places manages the miraculous feat of of making something as special as barbacoa taste boring and lifeless. The El Capitan taco was the only thing that showed signs of life and seemed to have seasoning on it. Our daughter's quesadilla was standard and her beans tasted like they came straight out of a can. The benches are significantly lower than the height of the table, so eating is awkward. Service is friendly-ish at the register, but stops at that. Honestly, we cannot even believe that this place has lasted this long. Are they just hoping for the El Patio patrons unwilling to wait to meander over? We'd highly recommend just going up the block to Torchy's instead. read more

I paid $12 for a bean burrito. Told the cashier I had never been there before and she recommended a couple of things, including the El Campeon burrito. I'm a huge barbacoa and burritos so I was excited to hear that option. I kid you not, had two bites of meat inside of it. It was 70% bean, 15% rice, 10% creama, 3% avocado, 2% meat. Tortilla was fresh and flavors were decent but aside from that I am very disappointed. Maybe their tacos are what's keeping them in business but wouldn't gamble coming back to this place. read more

Salsa Limón - El Campeon or a bean burrtio? - Tacos Near Me - Austin, Texas

I ordered a BEAN And CHEESE ONLY BURRITO through Grub HuB,. The pictures showed beautiful grilled burritos.. I also asked for the jalapeño hot sauce! What I received was a scrambled egg burrito with beans and cheese and no hot sauce. It was not the crispy burrito photo on the website and when I took my first bite, not knowing there was egg in it I gagged, since the flavor profile was old bacon grease in a soggy tortilla! It was gross! The guacamole is ok and the chips meh! That's why I'm giving a 2! read more

Tacos were good=two stars. We had the chicken, pastor & Barbacoa. Not sure what's up with the cabbage but took it out. At first we thought it was closed- hardly any lights on - pretty dark besides the patio lights on. Walked in- and cashier for sure DID NOT WANT TO BE THERE. This makes me not want to return. Her attitude was just BLAH!!! You wanna go to a place and ppl welcome you. Make you feel like they appreciate your business. They should want you to return. We asked if there were any other salsas (pic for reference) and her answer was no- walked away. Thinking maybe she was going to bring some more out-. That never happened. And why -why do we have Maine Root product for fountain sodas! Gross!! It's not like we are eating vegan or trying to be healthy eating at a taco place! Get the real cola stuff- Dr. Pepper, SOMETHING ELSE than that gross stuff! Inside the lighting was very dim. There was not any vibe going on. Just lacked character- customer service, the ambiance was just missing. read more

After reading other Yelpers' reviews, this place was on my "to try" list, so I met my daughter for an early lunch. We were so early that no other customers were there, which made us a bit nervous. Our fears were unrealized after we watched other patrons arrive and we received our order: a large Salsita salad with Al Pastor (your choice of meat) for my daughter, a Barbacoa taco with queso for me, along with an egg and potato breakfast taco with avocado. I'm sorry that I forgot to snap photos but my daughter and I had a lot to talk about as we devoured our meal. They had 4 types of salsas on the help-yourself-counter--a creamy verde, a fire roasted red, a hot piquin, and a habenero. All made good accompaniments. The Al Pastor meat was perfectly cut and cooked so it stayed tender. It didn't have a big pineapple flavor so a tastier version may be found elsewhere, but it was good nonetheless. The Barbacoa was shredded and melt-in-your-mouth, probably because the fat was left on for cooking and shredding. Personally I think fat adds flavor and tenderness so I'd order it again, but it bears mentioning for those fat-averse people out there. The eggs and potatoes were perfect on a flour tortilla that was thin, but not so thin as to lose its structure from generous fillings. We both liked the flexibility of the menu which allows you to add extra proteins or toppings as you please. I also was overjoyed that this place serves breakfast items all day. Why do other restaurants cut off breakfast tacos at lunchtime? Is there a rule that I don't know about, a rule that states you can only eat eggs during morning hours? Bah Humbug to that stupid rule; everyone knows that "Brinner" can be a great thing! I encourage you to check out their menu online so that you can dream up your own tasty combinations! Oh, and I have a suggestion for the restaurant: please add freshly brewed iced tea to your beverage list. Since Austinites drink it all year long, they pretty much expect it to be available everywhere. Thanks! read more

This spot just recently opened up on West Campus and I personally think it has a lot of potential. I would recommend skipping the tacos and get the Campeón Burrito instead. It was a hefty portion, but super flavorful and I didn't think I was going to enjoy it as much as a did! But if you do get a taco, get the El Capitan and order it with your choice of meat. They also have margaritas by the PITCHER, which they make a little on the strong side, so drink with caution. Oh as a plus, they also have a parking lot! Which is rare for traveling anywhere near West Campus. read more

Alex and Andrew, the chefs, are absolutely amazing! great food, even better service. We had a huge party of 50+ people and they were so accommodating. I can't recommend this place enough! read more

Not a restaurant. Order at the counter, get a number, seat yourself. The food was, at best, mediocre, and the margarita tasted like old Halloween candy. Probably the worst Mexican restaurant I've ever been to. There are much better in this town. One on the corner of Burton and Riverside drive is the best we have found so far. Don't waste your money or time on this place... read more

Came here for breakfast to see if we could salvage a terrible breakfast at 24/7 diner. It turned out to be a "best of the worst"contest. We ordered the chilaquiles and migas. Get this, they get tortilla chips and ladle sauce over the top, sprinkle their toppings and call them, chilaquiles! Fail. The migas are an embarrassment. They should just call them, tortilla strips with scrambled eggs. Over cooked eggs, that is. I was excited to visit this place after reading about them online. The sign up front says "Help wanted" it needs to read, Help Needed! Also, someone in the kitchen wearing airpods, just like the last place we visited. It's a gross look. read more

My family gave this place a chance. The menu was definitely hit or miss. The barbacoa quesadilla was a HIT! It seemed a bit pricey at $10.50, but the portion size (including side of rice and refried beans) is enough for two people to share. Skip the carne asada tacos that were $5 each. Queso was unremarkable...tasted like melted Velveeta (and could have used a bigger portion of chips). If you're looking for value, skip this place. read more

I've been to Salsa Limon twice now, and I have I to say it's my new favorite taco joint in Austin! Their chicken tacos are DELICIOUS! So tender and juicy. Their tortillas are fresh and fantastic. I would also highly recommend the Paloma fizz, and the Jamaica agua Fresca- so refreshing and not overly sweet. Overall you can tell a lot of thought went into the menu, and decor of the place. I will be spending a lot of time and $$ at this place! read more

My friend and I have been waiting for this spot to open near campus since a lot of places have been opening and closing due to COVID. We finally stopped in on a Friday afternoon for breakfast/lunch. There are ordering kiosks to the left of the entrance inside that I wish I had noticed before ordering at the counter. The employees still seem a little lost and I tried ordering a breakfast burrito with bacon with a Bloody Maria sub vodka. With tip it ended up being $25 and I ended up with a regular burrito that had beans, rice and bacon. The burrito was still good but I was just disappointed when I was expecting breakfast. I didn't say anything because my food had already take awhile and I didn't want my friend to have to wait. She ordered chilaquiles and said it was good but spicier than she expected and before she could eat much of it her plate kind of looked like mush. The salsa was decent but it's a very small portion as pictured and it's not complimentary. The bloody Marias were really good and don't have that tomato juice texture that most bloody Marys have. The parking is very sparse so you may have to street park and walk if they are busy and I wouldn't come here with a big group. The patio looked nice but it was a little hot to sit outside. I would come back to try breakfast but I'll have to prepare for the price. read more

I constantly order their burritos and quesadillas, some of the best I've found in Austin

Hello, here I leave the opinion of me and Familia. I visited the restaurant located on William Canom and Manchaca Street. We requested service and the waitress who served us was a person with no professional education and was negative. I asked a question that contained a dish on the menu and she answered that the The information was in the letter and I replied, "Can you tell me?" which made him angry and took the menu out of my hands. Then a guy named Alex appeared and aggressively took the other menu from my companion, which I complained about and he told me no. I was going to provide service, the situation became difficult and I was even pushed by a woman to leave the restaurant. I only wish that the owner of the place would take up an issue with his employees since this place is not the first time, I have seen it and I had never had a such unpleasant attention. read more

Overall pretty impressed with this spot! Stopped in here randomly when driving down Guadalupe. Got the breakfast burrito (which they serve all day) with potato as my main filling and added asada. The burrito was super yummy and filling. Their salsas are also great to put in the burrito with the tomatillo and jalapeño ones being my favorite. The Pastor Molca Bowl was also very good, albeit not necessarily a bowl and more of a tray which you would normally be served fries in. Even though the serving size was a little disappointing, the flavors made up for it! Would definitely recommend stopping by. They also have a great little patio area as well for when it's cool enough to sit out there! read more

I was so excited for this opening. I drove past it every day and watched as the building got remodeled for the opening. I finally had the opportunity to try it yesterday and was really disappointed. I got the Capitan with asada, la baby with chorizo, and a barbacoa taco. I also had queso, which was probably the best thing on the menu, although the chips were too salty which is the opposite of most places! All the tacos were just bland. Not horrible, just not much flavor. I think my expectations were just too high. The corn tortillas were great but the flour tortillas were thin and just like the raw ones you get at the HEB refrigerated section. Very thin. I may try a return visit for breakfast tacos but honestly, I'm not sure I want to go out of my way to try them. Very disappointed. read more
