Sal y Limon

The beer was a letdown—flat and not cold enough to enjoy properly. On the bright side, the lamb burrito was flavorful and well-prepared. The pork burrito and chicken bowl were just okay—decent but nothing memorable. What really elevated the meal was the additional hot sauce, which added a bold kick and made everything more exciting. Overall, a mixed experience with a few standout elements.

I ordered large nachos with Al pastor and 3 taco feast kits for a party but we were missing the Al pastor for the tacos and tortillas for all the kits. I called the store and they couldn’t come up with any resolution for us that wouldnt cost us additional money just for them to right the wrong. They offered to top off the meat a bit on the tacos but I’m out another $16 trying to get $4 worth of meat and tortillas while all my guests are waiting to eat.

We had a delicious meal: shrimp tacos and a quesadilla. Very reasonably priced and they allowed our dog to hang out on the patio with us. We were actually headed to another place a little further down the Drive, but we're glad we stopped here.

We have been going to a Sal y Limon for years. We were sad when our local one was closed. We had to start using the commercial one and it has been one of the worst experiences I’ve had. It keeps getting worse and worse. We got nachos today and they were pathetic. There was maybe 14 chips on there. Look at the photo. You guys should be ashamed of this. You lost a customer today.

I Came here for lunch. This is my First time visiting Sal. Services was fast and efficient polite staff. I ordered a Hawaiian Burrito Bowl and it was absolutely delicious. Everything was so fresh and vibrant. The flavors and spices were beautiful throughout the whole meal.

used to order from here more - everything tastes great and the staff are nice. but last couple times we’ve ordered, the extra guac or other add-on has been forgotten. :( we’ve emailed them about this and received no response. the add-ons cost extra so i’ll likely try another spot next time i’m craving a burrito, which is a bummer because otherwise i’ve enjoyed the food here.

Food was decent. If a little messy. I had lamb quesadillas and shared nachos. Plus had a margarita. Expect your fingers to get sauces on them. Seating was comfortable and easy to find, service is only 4 stars instead of 5, as tou mostly serve yourself. You can put an asterisk on it, as the counter staff, was friendly, and quick to take and make tour order.

I had the lamb burrito, it was zesty. And mildly spicy. The guacamole tasted fresh and had a nice zing to it. Portion was large and it hit the spot. I’m happy to have this place on the drive. I didn’t eat in, and I believe the food was a solid 4.

Well, we weren't kidding about it being excellent, because literally 2 nights later we ordered the taco feast for delivery again, lol! This time we upgraded the meat options to the Lengua (unctuous pork tongue), and the Piccadillo (ground beef with vegetables). Both were really delicious. I especially enjoyed them with their hot sauces. If you have spice-averse people, most (but not all) of their protein items under the taco kit are mild, and they give you several containers of 4 kinds of mildly spicy to spicy sauces to zhuzh it up. The spice-intolerant should add an order of their pico de gallo if they want to add zip. They give you way more corn tortillas than you will eat. I've frozen the extras and I think I might fry my own tortilla chips for superbowl!

The gushing positive reviews are puzzling. I stopped in at Sal y Limon the first or second day they opened on the Drive -- I don't remember whether it was a partial/"soft" opening or a full-on open-for-biz deal, but I do remember the food being...meh. Edible, not terrible, not great, just passable. The first few days aren't always a fair test of a restaurant. So now they've been open awhile, I thought I'd give them another try. Service was fine; they took my order efficiently and brought it out in a reasonable amount of time. And the place was clean. The music was being played too loudly to have a conversation without shouting, but they turned it down right away when I asked politely. The food: still meh. Edible, not terrible, not great, just passable. My husband and I both had burritos; he had the Grand Sal y Limon (chicken and pork), and I had the Barbacoa de Cordero (lamb). They were OK, not better or worse than that. I also ordered a piña colada, which they offer as a non-alcoholic drink described as "pineapple and coconut" (which, yes, that's what should be in there). It was UNBELIEVABLY sugary. Well beyond the range of some-like-it-sweeter; this tasted as though someone dumped in at least one whole bag of sugar. A small amount of coconut flavour was almost detectable behind that massive sugar overdose; no pineapple flavour was apparent. This was not drinkable beyond two sips. There is _much_ better Mexican food within easy walking distance. Compared to Sal y Limon, Red Burrito a couple blocks north is head-and-shoulders above. Further north down the hill, Don Oso's is vastly better. And the other direction from Sal y Limon, south to between 4th and 5th, Chancho is outta-this-world good (though it costs more).

Good food, great service, never rushed and always welcomed. This place hits all the basics and actually reminds me of some of the taquerias I've been to in Mexico. And no, I'm not talking about the places in the middle of the tourist areas. It might not have the same charm that you would get from a mom and pop that's been running for 40 years but I always enjoy myself. No pressure to flip tables fast, they really do let you enjoy your experience.

Have I told you how much I love tacos!?! Well wayyyyyyyyy more than you & more than you think you do! So there! Now you know! Entiendo? Why can't everyday be ... Taco Tuesday!? https://youtu.be/w3aDutHedqM Hola Yelpies Sal y Limón has an amazing tasty selection of tacos, tortas & burritos! But for me it's the sauces on the side that you can add to your tacos to enhance the flavour that do it for me!!! These sauces win me over all the time! I add Avocado, Chief & Chipotle sauces to all my tacos & burrito when I have one! Adds a little fiery heat to each bite & I love it!!! There's approximately 10 sauces to choose from so go nuts & be daring - try all of them!!! Si si si - senior gracias! I always get the Pollo Pibil (slow roasted chicken) taco with cheese of course! I've tried many of their other tacos & enjoyed them however, please do figure it amongst yourselves which taco pleases your heart! The burritos here are smack damn tasty as well!!! Try the drinks as well ie Margarita or Rumchata - usually has a good knockout alcohol kick in each drink! I'm excited about this location on The Drive, as I pop in along this strip here several times throughout the summer. Go on now ... have a picante Friday ... andele andele! Vamos! Viva Mexico! Arriba!!!

Yooooo. This place is sooo good. Nachos were loaded with queso and the toppings were evenly distributed. Because of this even distribution, even the chips on the bottom were crispy. The bean dip was good too. I highly recommend this if you want some good eats with friends. Tacos were pretty aok. I liked the lengua. In my laissez-faire attitude that day, I said yes to add guac. It was A LOT of guac. It would probably have been better to save in money and calories to have guac added on one and split between the two tacos. Regardless, guac was delish. I had a nibble of the burrito. Hubby says it was alright. V. Filling. Horchata was sooo refreshing for a summer say and not too sweet :). And coca cola...in a bottle? Tastes waaaay better. :). Go get your nachos and horchata now. Ambiance was good too. Colourful walls and colourful music. Me gusta mucho.

We were visiting Vancouver on a school trip from Seattle. We walked in unannounced with 18 students and 3 adults and Pepe was so welcoming and helpful and took all the kids orders, set everyone up quickly and was kind all the way through. The food was prepared fast but you would not know it as the taste and quality was fantastic. They even showed the teachers some gratitude with a wonderful churro gift for my colleague and I. Great service, great food, fast and friendly. What more could you ask for?

This place is always busy whether your eating here on the drive, or at the original Kingsway location. It's a great little place to have a meal any time of day. They have a diverse menu with many options from tacos, burritos, quesadillas, and sandwiches! Not to mention their horchata, especially the coconut one is amazing and so refreshing! You can't really go wrong with anything you order here and you gave a good selection of proteins for whatever vessel you choose, and you can top it off with a variety of their house-made salsas from mild salsa verde, smokey chipotle to hot! Although with Covid the bottles aren't left out anymore, so you need to request them. Definitely a great Mexican place to check out if you've never been!

Picked up my Taco Feast this afternoon. A male staff told me that he put a variety of sauces. Came home, opened the bag and ZERO sauce. Do you expect me to eat the Taco Feast without sauces ??? Even worse, you told me specifically that you put a variety of sauces

We have been long-time fans of Sal y Limon! We were frequent visitors to their mount pleasant location and even dragging our relatives out to their location in south Surrey. The commercial drive location is a welcome addition to the neighbourhood because there aren't any places on the drive that you grab a quick taco for lunch. We recently ordered take out from them. My partner is a big fan of the torta and always finds them pretty satisfying. I got the burrito bowl and it was so good! I think it's a take out only option? I wanted tacos but they didn't have any via Uber eats (they have taco platters but no ordered for one off tacos). So I got the fried fish and they served it with all the fillings that you'd normally have with a taco and a handful of corn tortillas. I was so impressed that I turned to my partner when the order arrived and said "Haha, I think I won this one!" Because it looked so delicious. Also extra shout out to the kitchen for packing the takeout box so neatly. My partner got a horchata as well, we both love the coconut flavour. If you've never tried one before we definitely recommend it! We've been to the physical location before and it's super clean and has a very causal fast food style sitting area. Perfect for grabbing a quick bite before heading off for a day on the drive.

After finding myself deeply disappointed by the other nearby burrito options on The Drive, ahem ahem not naming any names, I cannot begin to tell you how great it is to have Sal y Limon's new location so close by. Burritos are great, with 3 vegetarian options (the tinga vegetariana, which includes nopal and other veggies, is awesome; also mushroom and bean). Two horchatas, cinnamon and coconut (both lovely). Fast service, friendly people, affordable indulgence; what more can you ask for?

I went here with my mother who is on the older side and was sceptical about trying Mexican food and i was looking on yelp and saw this place so i thought it'd be cool to take her here.. bad idea. We ordered and they said it'd be ready shortly so we were waiting expecting a 5 or 10 minute wait since we were picking it up and it wasn't busy. And we ended up waiting over an hour!! My mom was fed up and i was getting fed up too! (not literally because we had to wait an hour) When we picked it up no apology or anything! The food was fine nothing special. it would've been a 4/10 if it wasn't for the hour wait and the rude service. I suggest looking more into who you hire.

They have stopped checking vaccine requirements despite being obligated to. I am sad that I will be unable to support them in the future

Classic Mexican street tacos , amazing. Don't be a sissy and go for the lengua (beef tongue). And ask for Ernesto, great service from a great chef. Top spot!

This place is amazing, easily the best burrito place in Vancouver. I've only had the chorizo burrito (chorizo should be it's own food group) but it's so good, I don't feel the need to order anything else. The burritos here are huge, extremely delicious and affordable. I'd eat here 3 times a week if I could. The chorizo burrito has a deep, smoky flavour that's to die for. My partner usually gets the fish burrito and she says it's great. I think they allow dine in now. Give it a try.

I'm not sure about the food because I didn't order. They have to snap up the service. There is no indication other than signs saying entrance and exit that you order at the counter, then wait. There was one table occupied, already eating, but the five people working there couldn't look up to welcome a customer? The menu isn't clear. Can't they just tell you, or do you have to figure out those tiny symbols? I might try it one day again if they show any interest In their customers.

The food was great. The owner and workers are really nice as well as the vibe. I would definitely recommend this place.
