Limones Restaurant

Limones without a doubt would be on my must-visit restaurant list in AVL. I can't believe I didn’t make it here all these years for dinner. My husband and I loved our recent date night here and we hope to visit again soon! The food: Exceptional!! Everything we tried, from their street corn, three-cheese chile, chicken tinga, to the maple roasted sweet potatoes - was so good. Each dish just got better and better. We also tried their fresh chips with guacamole, which were phenomenal!! so fresh and perfect. We really can’t pick favorites. Service: The sweetest staff I have met. Everyone was so easy to talk to and super friendly. One of our dishes was entered incorrectly, but they acted swiftly to replace our order. They even brought us extra chips and guacamole while we waited. Drinks: I was really impressed by the number of margaritas on the menu. I love a spicy margarita, and they recommended a really good one. I had the 21 Seeds margarita, which had just the right kick of jalapeños. Ambience: It’s such a cozy yet vintage-themed setup. Perfect for a date night, family or professional gathering, or any kind of celebration. I can’t wait to be back again. I love that their menu keeps rotating with new additions each time. Can’t wait to try more dishes soon!

We are at Limones for our anniversary and it was so good! Our server Ella was great and very attentive, on the spot with anything we needed and more. We had the lobster nachos and a couple drinks as a starter which was really good. We got the strip steak and the enchiladas as entrees and were not disappointed, great flavors and can’t wait to go back and try more, everything sounded so good. Only downside is add $20 to your night for parking at the Biltmore parking deck.

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 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!

Phenomenal dinner we had here. The flavors were so perfectly blended together, it was an amazing culinary experience! Our server, Garry, was absolutely incredible- such a gem. Explained every single cocktail, margarita, and item on the menu. He paid attention to the date on my husband’s license and surprised us with cake at the end. We’re only in Asheville for 3 days but will probably be back again while we’re here and add it to our must-haves every time we come.

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 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.
