Limones Restaurant

My goodness- this was SUCH a good experience!! The restaurant was recommended so we came here for my birthday and it did not disappoint! Brad helped us, and was also training a lovely young lady- he helped us navigate the menu and make our ultimate food choices. We got the flautas and Chile relleno to start and they were both solid options, but I would definitely order the chile relleno dish again- comes with chips and it just really hits right! We split the carne asada meal and good golly it was so good- cooked at a perfect medium rare and seasoned so well. The potatoes and salad were solid additions as well! We sampled several margaritas: traditional, caliente, and blood orange. They were all SO good! (I’m not a typical flavored margarita gal- but the caliente and blood orange truly were the stars here). To finish, we had bread pudding and tres leches cake- seriously one of the best cakes I’ve consumed. The atmosphere, service, and food were all amazing. Highly recommend (and I WILL be back!))

This was our first visit to Limones, even though we had often visited their sister restaurant, En La Calle, before it closed. We were celebrating a special night and had a party of 8. The waiter was super attentive and thoughtful of our kids by suggesting plates and non-alcoholic drinks that were special for them too. Each plate was delicious and made for a memorable evening.

Such a great meal! Garry, our waiter, was so nice and had such great energy! His recommendations were amazing and he was super helpful in deciding what to get! We were celebrating my birthday and he brought out a tres leches cake with a candle and sang to me at the end of dinner. He was so sweet! Highly recommend this restaurant!

A friend recommended Limone’s as “1-1” restaurant must visit in Asheville. I unfortunately do not agree - the taco appetizers only serve one - are not to share. We unfortunately sat at a high top table in the back of the restaurant near the bathroom so had poor aesthetics through our meal. If there would be a way to request a table in the front or even at the window seats, I would recommend trying to do that. The server was very kind and helpful. The margaritas come in a very big 8 oz glass - beware, lots of liquid. Menu items I’d recommend are the lobster Mac and cheese and ceviche. Everything else was pretty average. Overall just think there might be better spots in Asheville.

My wife and I ate here for dinner on a recommendation. I give it five stars but it is closer to a 4.5. It’s located down a little side road and opens promptly at 5 pm but not before. The place is very clean and very cozy. The ambiance is very inviting. We had their margaritas which they say they have been voted best around. They were slightly above average but not noteworthy. We shared the street corn and it was delicious. I recommend this. I ate the seasoned pork loin and my wife ate the scallops. Both were good, seasoned well and priced appropriately. We weren’t rushed and the service was pleasant.

The margaritas were one the best I've ever had. The ceviche was NOT good, the fish was OK and so were the tacos.

Great dinner last night. Ceviche sampler was a nice light way to start the meal off. Lamb was cooked perfectly as was the burger. Cocktails on point. Awesome atmosphere and friendly vibes at the bar. We made a few new friends!!

Our best dining experience during our Asheville trip. Obviously, it's the place if you like margaritas and they didn't disappoint. Our server, Geneva, was great! We started with the ceviche and it was among the best we've ever had. Next was the fish of the day, prepared in a verde sauce. Amazing. I had the carne asada and it was cooked and seasoned perfectly. So many places are bland! The desserts may have been the best part. Seriously that good. Bread pudding was great but the chocolate flourless torte was, beyond any measure, the best we've ever had. Just an overall great experience.
