Bayardo was amazing food was amazing tended to everything we needed 10/10 yuca fries were 10/10

Food is great! Service is excellent Margaritas... divine!!! I would definitely recommend this place. Our server Alex was always smiling and giving us great vibes. I had a strawberry margarita which was well Prepared. I had gringo tacos, meat was excellent. Good taste! Good size. Try the street corn! But the best was the frijoles negros (black beans) they were so good that I don't recall to have as good beans since my abuelita made for us back in 1989!! read more

The bartenders and servers are awesome.This place used to make a really good margarita. Today, I would give that a 2 out of 10. Most margaritas are made with good tequila, triple sec, and fresh squeeze lime juice.. They make a mic of llimes and oranges now! Iit tastes more like an orange margarita than a regular margarita. For years, they always made it really good and now it's just processed. They say it's all fresh squeeze in the morning but why do they put oranges in the margarita mix.? We had steak fajitas which were very good and of course they always give you nachos and salsa, which is delicious too but if I wanna get a good margarita, I won't be going back there. PS The band was good outside. read more

Loved this place. Had been here before and not impressed, whatever they changed, they are doing it right! The service was paramount despite the automatic 20%, I tipped above for the excellent service. The drink was tasty and satisfying , bougie champagne sangria . The neighboring table got a marg flight ... dang it looked like a complete nite! The chips were so crisp and the salsa chunky and cilantro foreword, perfect in my world. I had home made chicken empanadas, they were so tasty and filled with chunks of real pulled chicken. That white sauce served with them ... OMG, I could bath in it!!! Stellar!!!! I honestly have no negatives to say ... highly recommend a trip to Salty Lime! read more

The possible short of staffing showed up in its slow service, messy tables and slippery floor. Yet we paid premium for it all. But for the delicious Margarita, I will take it. Our waitress worked hard to make sure we were well attended. But she just couldn't be at two places the same time. Food came late and semi-warm. The popular duck taco I ordered didn't taste bad. But the combination of duck chunks, cream cheese, and Caribbean Jerk seasoned cabbage seemed like a mismatch. All well, fault was all mine. I will not order it again. It seemed I was the only person didn't like the food. Tamales, stuffed avocado, Quesadilla, Queso dip, chip and salsa were all being devoured by bunch of picky eaters. I envy them. The restaurant layout and setting is not senior friendly. It took some time to assist my 80 yrs old neighbor get seated. I was worried she might fall because of the narrow path and slippery floor. It was also a very warm humid day. Staffs kept both front and side door open. The fan in our seating section didn't work which made the dining experience very uncomfortable. Overall, it is a fair good restaurant for Palm Harbor folks. I hope my next visit will be much pleasant. read more

Everything we had was GREAT as was the service and ambience. Very cute indoor seating, nice outdoor option too. Comp chips ( made in house ) and salsa were very good. 4 people, 4 different dishes all hit above the mark, enchiladas, fish tacos, street tacos, taco bowl!!! All excellent flavor and presentation. read more

We had a great experience at Salty Lime Cantina and will definitely be back. The food was excellent -- fresh, flavorful, and clearly made with care. The house margaritas were delicious, especially with Tajín added. The atmosphere was lively and welcoming, and the service was attentive throughout our visit. It's clear the team works hard, and it shows in the overall experience. I know there's been some discussion around the mandatory 20% service charge, but for us, it was clearly communicated and we felt the service matched it. We appreciated knowing upfront and had no issues with it. As a new business opening nearby, we love supporting other local spots doing things well. Salty Lime Cantina is a great addition to Palm Harbor, and we're glad we stopped in. read more

Great Service but waaay overpriced!! The food was OK but I think everybody can agree that $95 for a shrimp burrito, street tacos and a drink is excessive! There's cheaper Mexican food that taste the same or better not worth it in my opinion read more

Great Mexican in downtown Palm Harbor! To start, freshly made inhouse tortilla chips and guacamole and salsa! Huge plate of build your own fajitas with expertly grilled proteins & veges - my wife had the shrimp. I had the soft tacos of carne asada grilled steak and pork carnitas. I want to emphasize the expertly grilled part! Many Mexican places just overcook and char proteins & veges into submission and hope their sauces hold it together and make it palatable. Not this place that takes attention on their expert grill, leaving meat and veges tasty and chewy and delicious. read more

We used to frequent SLC. At one point there was a surprise charge for transportation on the bill stationed me on ever coming back. We decided to give it another try. It did not appear busy which worried me but we were seated right away. Service was great. I noticed the menu has been greatly reduced since our last visit. Pork belly tacos were solid as was the margarita. The coco loc not so much. A 20% gratuity is added to the bill. I don't like it but I knew up front about it so felt better than being surprised by the old "transportation fee". read more

Had several choices fir Mexican but made the wrong one. Service was VERY SLOW and food was not very good except salsa. One and done!!

Great lunch on Sunday at Salty Lime! Food was excellent especially my enchiladas! The rice and beans were exceptional. Others enjoyed tacos, shrimp fajitas and a burrito bowl. Salsa was freshly made and delicious. Kudos to the manager for being friendly and engaged. We will be back for the brunch based on his recommendation. read more

We came in Sunday night 9/21 and had such a weird experience. The air conditioning was out so we sat near the back where they said it was cooler and waited a few mins to get menus. We noticed the menu change and the automatic 20% gratuity charge on every check. The menu is a lot smaller now and way more expensive for mediocre Mexican food. The service was interesting she seemed really flustered and all over the place. The kitchen half way through our meal started blaring music and started singing super loud. It was such a weird atmosphere it was almost comical. I felt like I was on the show what would you do. My family and I will never be returning. Also servers should have their hair clipped back at least a little and not completely down. This place really went downhill. read more

Their salsa was the best I ever had! Full of chopped tomatoes and their chips were so freshly made. Their strawberry margarita was good yet not so strong. It was pleasure patronizing. read more

Terrible service, probably because the servers know they are guaranteed 20% which is added to the bill. We waited over 30 mins for food and they didn't come around to refill drinks while we waited. They also charge 3% for using a CC. We paid cash but they still charged us. When I asked about why, they made me feel like I was being cheap. I'd never go back there. read more

Used to Love It... Not Anymore Salty Lime used to be a favorite, but it's gone way downhill. Food and service just aren't what they used to be. Even worse, it's not safe--there's a super narrow walkway to the bathroom that goes right past the kitchen door. I saw it hit a customer, and a server hurt their knee on it. Cleanliness is also a big issue. Cups were not clean and there was a lot of food on the floors. My margarita flight came on a board with visible mold. Super disappointing all around. Hope they turn things around, but I won't be back anytime soon. read more

$22 for an enchilada??????? I think that's about all that needs to be said. That's not inflation that's greed. It's Mexican food! You want $22 for tortilla some meat and a little cheese? 1 spoon of beans and rice. Absolutely not. Yes everything is expensive but that price is highway robbery. I won't be back at those prices. I would hate to see the bill with drinks and chips and additional entrees. If a Mexican restaurant costs you $100 for a small family you are in the wrong place. And that was after circling for an hour trying to get a parking spot. This is the second time I've tried to come here. The first time I was told they won't do take out. The second time it took 30min to get take out of one item. Why take out? As previously mentioned, parking is impossible. I had planned on going in The food was mid Service is slow The environment was ok Parking is impossible It's a no from me I'll travel to Clearwater for authentic Mexican at a better price. Actually another location just opened up in tarpon springs for Hacienda Corralejo. Go there read more

I've been going to salty lime since it opened. I've taken many of my friends and family when they come to visit me in Palm Harbor to this restaurant we showed up tonight the menu has shrunk down to almost a few good items. I asked for vodka and tonic. They had no tonic. They gave me club soda. They said that you have to pay 20% added to your bill. The food prices are very expensive to what it was a year ago very disappointed. I probably will never go back there again. read more

10/10 Such a cute little place with easy parking and a chill beachy atmosphere. The food was phenomenal, especially the pork belly tacos! To top off the experience our service from Bynardo (forgive my spelling!!!) was AMAZING. He is so sweet, gave great recommendations and was exceptionally kind. We LOVED the food and had such a good time! Good drinks, great food and even better service ! read more

I'm in love with how they have flights of everything. We came here, because of their flights of margaritas. 18 flavors! They all have fresh fruit, which is amazing. When the margaritas came out, I was shocked, it was like three full size margarita glasses. When my sister's solo margarita came out, it was huge, which is probably why the flight is normal sized glasses. I got the blueberry, mango and strawberry jalapeno. You can add jalapeno to everything for a spicy kick. My sister got a margarita with basil and it was delicious as well. If you like big quantities and margaritas, this is your place. For dinner I got duck tacos. It was also delicious and had tons of filling. My friend asked me how it compares to Bar Taco and it's all about the filling. Maybe the quality is a little less, but you get a lot more food. We also tried the flight of salsas (again, loving their flight idea). We got queso, guacamole and a Caribbean avocado salsa. All were very good. The waiter convinced us to double up on queso (you get four choices), but honestly the size is pretty big for each, so next time I'll get four different salsas. I've never been to this area of Palm Harbor before, but it seems like a great place to restaurant hop or have a progressive dinner. There are seriously like six restaurants all within a couple blocks of each other. On a Saturday night there was live music at what seemed to be three of them. Outside of the restaurant row, it didn't seem exceptionally safe, but staying within the confines of these restaurants was fine. Parking is street parking and free. I don't think you'll have much trouble finding a spot, because if all the parking spots are taken you can probably just park a couple blocks down in residential. Our server didn't write anything down and it showed when he brought out the wrong dish for me and forgot my sister's dinner. However, since I was enjoying the margaritas this didn't bother me at all. Plus he was really nice. So, overall, I will absolutely come back. read more

25 min wait between the 1st waiter and the 2nd. 20% auto tip mandatory as well as auto charge for CC. Slow service, food not hot, only warm. "Happy hour" drinks were overpriced from just 6 months ago and we had to ask several times for water and chips. In the past everything was 4.5 stares, this time, 1/2 stare. This was a 75th birthday for our good friend, and not even an old used candle for George to blow out or sing too. Very sad experience for all 8 of us. PS NEVER AGAIN Salty Lime. Paul Dunedin, FL read more

It's been awhile since we have gone here. It was one of the places we always went to but this time was the worst experience we have ever had. Firstly then now add a 20% tip onto your bill for the servers. While there there was no manager so I think the employees stopped caring since they are guaranteed a tip so why but out an effort. We were a party of 4 and not one dish when it came out was correct. The poached eggs were over cooked and hard. The breakfast quesadilla they didn't put in the eggs and the cantina bowl came out why too much cheese on top you couldn't find the eggs and they forgot to put in the protein ordered. At the time we were there they were not at all busy yet we waited along time for the food. Another place that is one the never to return to. It's a shame it seems they have given up or don't care about what they do and with no manager on duty why should they. This place should be avoided if you want the food and service you are forced to pay for read more

Fourth attempt at my local watering hole to no avail. This place simply sux for service ... period. Left after 25 minutes and went to Happy Cactus which was super! local LQ read more

Salty Lime Cantina - French toast - Cocktail Bars Near Me - Palm Harbor, Florida

Pretty solid spot with good food and giant drinks. Service was friendly but was a little blundering. Came here with my sister for dinner on a Saturday. We arrived pretty early to ensure we had a table (at around 5:30 pm) and were promptly seated at a high-top. When we arrived, most tables were empty but by the time we left at 7 pm, pretty much all the tables were full so it definitely gets busy! One of the reasons we decided to come here was for the margarita flights-- for $20 you get 3 margaritas that are smaller than if you ordered a standard one here, but at any other restaurant I would call 3 normal margaritas! They have a variety of different fruit options, which is fun, and all the fruit margaritas we got had fresh muddled fruit included. My sister tried the strawberry jalapeno, blueberry, and mango while I got a basil jalapeno margarita. They were all delicious. Food-wise, we got the dip flight with queso, guac, and the Caribbean avocado salsa. The salsas were all tasty and the chips that are served at the restaurant are good quality. For my dinner, I tried the tamales-- they come already taken out of their corn husk and slathered in a mayo-based sauce + tomatoes. I thought the tamales were just ok but not something I would seek out again. Our server was friendly and food came fast. The only problem was that the server mis-remembered our order. He keyed in duck quesadillas instead of duck tacos for my sister, and completely forgot to put in my tamales until he was reminded. read more

One of those places that I am upset I didn't try it sooner! Ordered some house margaritas and wow they are huge! We also ordered before 5 on Friday and they were only 5 bucks each. We both got tacos with rice and beans. My barbacoa tacos were amazing, their sauces on it are so good! Cute atmosphere, very friendly and attentive staff, indoor and outdoor seating. read more

After a long day working around our park, another couple and us needed to unwind and enjoy. That we did at the Salty Lime Cantina! Their margaritas are PHENOMENAL and at Happy Hour only $5. You have a large variety to choose from...18 flavors! My wife and friend had the coconut. I had the pomegranate and pineapple. Really, Really good. Then we had Sadie our waitress who was PHENOMENAL. Her recommendations were spot on. We had the Cantina Bowl with shredded pork and the carnitas taco with shredded pork. All in all just a great place to unwind. It was a cool day so we did the inside. It was also early so it wasn't too packed. That's the only thing...if it would have been crowded then probably a 4 star as the tables are fairly close to each other. Outside would be the way to go! However anytime you are looking for a GREAT Happy Hour Margarita, this is THE place. read more

We have gone to Salty Lime quite a bit in the past. We just recently went and boy have things changed!! Food was less than mediocre and service was not good at all. We went early and the place was not busy at and our server was nowhere to be seen. They have a new policy that a 20% commission would be added to our bill to make sure the servers are compensated. Well at first that seemed fair however as we were getting less than fair service I realized that could be possibly the culprit. A 20% tip for not doing your job....hmmmm. My husband and I always tip. We base it on the service we receive, novel concept. Will not return read more

I do not know the reason (nor do I need to) as to why Salty Lime Cantina has decided to add a 20% Commission to every check... However, I will say, from a consumer perspective, it may not have been the wisest move. I typically tip anywhere from 20-30% every time that I dine out, so the percentage is not my issue. My complaint is that the service that we received this evening was terrible in comparison to every other time that we've dined there. Perhaps the server we had is always inattentive and forgetful...Or...hear me out...Perhaps she doesn't have to really go above and beyond in the service industry any longer, since she is (according to the laminated PSA on each table) GUARANTEED a 20% commission, and therefore wasn't really concerned about our 4 top only having 2 sets of silverware, or that my husband's drink was empty, my daughter-in-law asked for a "side" of queso with her meal, and we were brought and charged for a full appetizer of queso instead. My husband ordered three tacos, and was only served two...and the list goes on... The final straw was when she brought the receipt for my husband to sign, and the ONLY thing on it was the amount being charged, a TIP line, and then a total line. NOTHING on the actual payment receipt indicating that a 20% commission was already charged...which felt almost deceptive. We've been frequenting Salty Lime since it opened, but tonight was our last time. read more

Horrifying experience summed up right here: This restaurant smells like a rotten sewer tank has exploded. On the good side... Our waiter with long blondish hair and curtain bangs was amazing. She definitely needs a raise, she is the sweetest soul.. But to start on the bad side, the inside of the restaurant smelt like hot a$$ cheeks on a burning hot day!!! We had to sit outside the smell was so nauseating, I wasn't sure if the sewer had exploded and they were using scented candles to attempt to mask the odor. The cheese dip was horrible, store bought reheated cheese dip. the guacamole was bitter and had no flavor along with the tomato puree "salsa". The tacos were nasty as he!! Never tasted a taco so horrifying- where the meat was raw and unseasoned. I thought I was in a cruel prank show. The rice was stale!!!!! So nasty! Never been to such a sh** restaurant pompous enough to serve customers raw, undercooked and under seasoned food. Our party paid over 100$ we will NEVER get back for microwaved food. !! The meat was the driest nasty unflavored sh** l've ever stuck a tooth in! I am horrified, begging an inspector to figure out why this restaurant smells like rotting and decaying sewage. read more

Let me save you time and money. Just don't bother. Went on a Tuesday, no one greeted us, half the tables were dirty, there was no one there, poor service , we decided to stay because in the past we had a good experience, but this time not at all. And I gather there's something going on. They added a 20% tip which we really did not agree to at all. Very slow took 30 minutes to get our food and we were the only ones in the restaurant. read more

I have gone to Salty Lime often. Last time I went food was not as good but I thought it was just an off night. Went again 2 days ago. Service was not great. Waitress wasn't really listening to the order requests. I always get a mojito and love them. Very disappointing it lacked flavor. The other drinks were so bad (tequila drinks) the other members of my party didn't even drink them. I hate the new limited menu. Food was just okay. I am looking for a New Mexican place to frequent. read more

The service was excellent! I had my Mom with me and she was fussy about the volume of the music. It was a Sunday afternoon so upon her request they turned it down slightly. Thanks for that! Sorry to kill the mood. We really enjoyed our food. Mom had a shrimp salad on fried avocado which she had never had before and really enjoyed. I had the portobello mushroom tacos which had a cilantro jicama slaw - delicious! We shared a generous and delicious blackberry margarita. What a great place - I can't wait to come back! read more

The restaurant charges a MANDATORY 20% "service fee" in an apparent bid to offset their labor costs onto tips. This in a roadside shack type setup with plastic water tumblers. The server we spoke to said that they were paid $1.00 per hour plus tips (whatever portion of that 20% they actually see). I feel for their staff... they are being taken advantage of. I can't speak to the food because once we saw the fee we left. We will never return, and further, will warn everyone we encounter to do the same. It's a shame, because without that fee it was exactly the type of pay point and vibe you expected. With the fee... HELL no. read more

The food and service were okay...nothing exceptional. The restaurant added a mandatory 20% fee plus a 3% credit card fee. My total bill was $68 for four tacos and one cocktail. From my perspective, it was expensive and I wouldn't recommend the restaurant. read more

Our dinner was 2 'big as your head' margaritas, and we each had a Cantina Bowl - mine with Pork Carnitas, and my wife's with Chicken Tinga. Both were fresh, generous portions, with a great combination of flavors. Chips and salsa were delivered quickly to our table and refilled as needed, and the salsa was nice and chunky with a good flavor. Our server stopped in regularly and the food came out quickly. The margaritas are made with fresh juice and agave tequilla, making them a good deal...and very tasty! All in all a great meal! read more

We thought we would try this place for a change. Very disappointed. Waitress was in training but we didn't hear her say that but figured it out with another staff member following her. It felt very weird. The nacho with ground beef was our late afternoon snack. It was suppose to come with corn, black beans, jalapenos. I saw very few black beans and corn and zero jalapeno. More plain chips than anything else. Cheese and cream sauce mostly. The salsa and chips complimentary as custom with Mexican restaurants. We asked for more salsa to go with our nachos and was told the first one is complementary. I didn't want to pay $3 for more, not worth it for sure. The older waitress took our salsa dish that had a chip and another bite. I asked for it back and she slapped it back on the table. The water container was a nice touch but the short plastic cups were disgusting,not sure if clean. We could not use them. We were telling the new waitress about this, thinking we were being helpful and she rudely walked away from our table. We were not being rude. read more

This was truly awful. We brought in visitors from out of town because they wanted to try it. We were very hesitant because the last time we went there we were surprised by a mandatory 20% gratuity on ALL checks. The service was slow after we were seated but eventually had our drink order taken. After we waited for an hour and a half for our food while two nearby tables who sat after we did were served and the tables turned and served again on our third request for the manager our food started to come out. We were not all served at the same time and the manager "Cameron" still did not show. After our fifth request for the manager one of our party had to physically go find him. He said he was too busy with being one person short in the kitchen to come talk to us. He said he might have put one or two tickets in front of us and that was his fault not the servers. He smirked the entire time he spoke with us. This was my worst restaurant experience in decades and I travel for a living. Under no circumstances do I recommend anyone go to this restaurant. read more
