Limones Restaurant

Limones has a fantastic atmosphere, and the bar setup is not only convenient but also beautifully displayed. We started with the street corn as an appetizer—it was absolutely delicious. For our mains, we tried the pork chop and the chicken tinga. Both dishes completely blew my mind with their presentation and flavor. The mix of ingredients created flavor combinations I never expected would work so well together—but they absolutely did! Crystal and Klint took excellent care of us. Their drink recommendations were spot on. The watermelon citrus mint margarita exceeded all my expectations—refreshing, unique, and perfectly balanced. If you're coming to Asheville, Limones is a must-visit. Great food, amazing drinks, and stellar service all in one place.

Had a lovely dinner with friends at Limones tonight. They're famous for their margaritas so we had to kick off the evening there. I had the watermelon-lime and my friend had the blood orange, I believe - both were great; not too sweet, a nice balanced flavor. We split a bunch of small plates - ceviche, brisket flautas, duck gorditas, and lobster nachos (which are back on the menu) - and we can highly recommend all of them. And we finished off the evening with churros with caramel sauce and hot chocolate for dipping, and the tres leches cake that had nuts and peaches inside - finger lickin' good. Our bill was around $180 for the 3 of us which, we felt, was pretty reasonable. Service was great and our waiter was able to recommend some excellent items given it was our first time. Noise level was low and the place was pretty full so good job on the noise dampening. We parked at a nearby garage and just walked to the restaurant; the entire downtown Asheville area is very walkable.

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!))

My boyfriend and I split the three cheese chile relleno, street corn, and the beef rib enchiladas and each dish was incredible and only kept getting better! The relleno was cooked perfectly and the salsas were seasoned perfectly. It’s such a small piece of the plate but the guacamole on the side of the enchiladas was the best I’ve ever had. So fresh and seasoned with the perfect amount of lime. The ambiance was so nice with good lighting and music. I wish we lived closer to come back and try all the dishes!

This restaurant was amazing! My boyfriend and I came for our 3 year anniversary and it was exactly what I wanted it to be. We did the whole thing, drinks, appetizer, dinner, and desert. We don't get fancy food frequently so I had some questions to ask about the menu and our waiter was super kind and explained the entire appetizer menu and more. It was a fancy restaurant but I didn't feel out place there. You can definitely go and get mid range prices options as well! Their margaritas are well worth the money, felt like two drinks in one! And didn't taste as strong as they were. We had the flautas as an appetizer and they were amazing. Small portion, but a true appetizer. I've never had tuna taste as amazing as it did at this restaurant and my boyfriend really liked the carne asada as well! The tres leches was to die for and our waiter brought out complimentary champagne since it was out anniversary! And some little truffles on top. I was so impressed with this place and the wait staff all seemed really cool and our waiter was knowledgeable and helped guide my indecision. Seriously 10/10 would recommend 🫰🫰✨✨

The food was delicious, once it arrived. The kitchen may have been having an off day, but it was very slow. It took a hour for us to get our food. The drinks are wonderful. There’s a good selection non alcoholic drinks. They have very limited options if you are lactose intolerant, and no vegan options, but you can leave the cheese off some of the vegetarian appetizers and salad. You probably could order the pasta without the sauce, but they do not have dairy free sauce and cannot accommodate many changes. There so many restaurants with better vegan choices. The restaurant is deafeningly loud - my ears were ringing the next morning!

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.

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.
