Salsa Limón

Will Salsa Limon challenge Chipotle? Great flavors but employees and toilets sour the deal. At first glance, this is exactly what downtown Dallas, the urban space struggling to reinvent itself, so desperately needed. It is cheerfully decorated, locally owned, and has pretty good salsa (as the name suggests). But once you peel the burrito cover, the weaknesses emerge. During our visit, half of the toilets were unusable (yes, even the one labeled "all gender"). Worse, while the rather expensive tacos were pleasant, the salad turned out to be taken straight out of the deep freezer - simply inedible. The employees blamed the refrigerator, and an unpleasant back-and-forth was needed to get a replacement. Not only that, but they also charged us an extra dollar to do so, citing an unforgiving "corporate policy." Better toilets and employees empowered to serve customers properly are what this location needs. Until that happens, Chipotle's position remains unchallenged. As ordinary consumers, we are not paid or compensated in any way for this review. We are always looking for reliable and transparent businesses and hope the owner will take this feedback into consideration.

Very easy process of ordering online & picking up. Food was wrapped well. Very delicious & plenty of food. I ordered the El Campeon burrito & Nachos dos Quesos. Salsas were delicious too & tasted freshly made. Pleased with the food quality & quantity for the price. Would recommend!

Stopped in after seeing how busy it was during lunchtime. Now we understand! Food was the best Mexican we’ve had. Jerry walked us through the menu and made excellent recommendations. Highly recommend others visit this place, and ask for Jerry!

Salsa Limón: El Campeón Holds the Crown Nestled in the heart of downtown Dallas, Salsa Limón Flor de Mayo carries a distinct retro charm and an unapologetically bold menu. But one item in particular is being whispered like a secret across city blocks: El Campeón. Let’s begin there, because that’s where the real sermon happened. This burrito—no, this revelation—comes packed to the seams with slow-cooked barbacoa, creamy avocado, refried beans, Spanish rice, melted cheese, a silky fried egg, and a pop of cilantro crema that kisses everything into cohesion. Then they do the unthinkable: they grill it flat-top burrito-style until the edges seal and the flavors marry. Now, you better come hungry—because this is not your average roll-and-go wrap. It’s a heavyweight. I made it halfway before I tapped out, and I’m not ashamed. The portion is generous—honestly built for two souls, or one very brave lunchtime gladiator with no afternoon plans. That said, the El Campeón lives up to its name. It’s rich but well-balanced, hearty but with a lightness that comes from the cilantro and avocado. You’ll get hits of salt, fat, freshness, creaminess, and smoke in each bite. There’s an almost spiritual harmony to it. Then there’s the fresh-squeezed orange juice. A decent supporting act—refreshing, bright, clean—but not quite the transformative elixir I expected from the hype. It’s good, but not essential. Chips and salsa? Let’s talk truth. The chips were warm, yes—but flavorless. No salt, no seasoning, no character. They were just… there. The salsa looked like it had potential, but once you taste it, it’s mostly watery with a lack of depth. A flat note in an otherwise symphonic meal. The atmosphere at Flor de Mayo holds its own. It’s bright, casual, and slightly quirky—somewhere between a 1950s diner and a lucha libre temple. Staff are efficient and the kitchen moves with purpose. In summary, El Campeón is the reason to come—full stop. Skip the chips. Sip the juice if you’re feeling citrusy. But that burrito? That burrito is the main event. Just don’t try to face it alone unless you’re ready for the consequences. Bring a friend, split it in half, and let gratitude do the rest.

Food here was AWESOME! I got the el campeon burrito and some nachos. Food came out quick, and the burrito was huge. I ended up sharing. Everything was a 10/10. COME HERE!

This delightful slice of Mexican food heaven is not to be missed. The food is fantastic: the tacos are delectable, with the al pastor being some of the best meat, and the El Campeon burrito is the king of lunch and dinner foods—a towering achievement to consume. Nachos are excellent, too, and the salsas are all fresh and delicious. Word to the wise: the refried beans are a little spicy, so beware! It’s relatively cheap, the food and service are great, and it’s an easy place to go with a group. Highly recommend!

Great and clean atmosphere; fresh food; great service as well. The drinks menu is awesome as well. Highly recommend to check it out. I went during a Sunday where not a lot of people in downtown but during the week this place is a vibe. The staff is super friendly and helpful.

Recommended by a friend, we went there for the first time and totally loved it! The food was delicious, with each dish bursting with flavor and cooked to perfection. The service was impressively quick, ensuring that we didn't have to wait long to enjoy our meal. The staff were super friendly, making us feel welcome and attended to throughout our visit. The restaurant has a pretty big seating area, providing ample space for diners to sit comfortably without feeling crowded. The ambiance was pleasant, making it a great place to relax and enjoy a meal. We were thoroughly impressed with everything and will definitely be going back again!

Location Downtown Dallas-just off Akard and Patterson Parking Lots nearby Atmosphere Local Mexican cantina Seating Bar, counters, high and low tables. Good for groups. Service Order at counter, number given-they call out number-pick up at counter or they bring it to you. Note-staff are tri lingual-english, Spanish, sign language. Amazing! Menu So many choices! I had the salad-note-the menu says "watermelon" but it's watermelon radish. The avocado ranch was a bit salty for me so I used the mild salsa. There is a choice of salsa's- mild to hot with cups to Place it in. There is a choice of meat/ veggies. I had the barbacoa which was a huge serving. So yum! They offer happy hour specials with free chips. Breakfast and lunch/ dinner menu-full bar. One of the only downtown lunch restaurants open on weekends. Summary Convenient downtown location, awesome menu-something for everyone, outstanding service! Love this place!

Food was not the best. I guess coming from Houston and use to so many Tex Mex and mexican options, I am spoiled. Service was good. Great location. The vibe was hip and reminded me of a diner inside the place. Walking distance from Sheraton and Hilton.

Came in ravenous after getting a great pedicure next door. Noticed they had Fresca and to my excitement horchata ones, highly recommend. It's refreshing and not overly sweet. Ended up getting the torta and it was great. I got it to go and even though i ate it about an hour later it was still amazing. Eveyehting is made to order and they have a full bar with happy hour. They have plenty of seating available and it was pretty quiet when i arrived.

A pretty standard taco spot. Good thing was the staff was very nice, they patiently waited while our large group decided on the order. The food was average, nothing to write home to. We got a chicken burrito and asada quesadilla. Both were fine, the steak tasted a bit tough but not a dealbreaker. Beware the sauces are super spicy. Taste test them before adding to your food. People who enjoy spicy would love them. If it's convenient, I wouldn't mind returning.

An unconventional take on a street taco! Why? They top all of their tacos with a crunchy cabbage slaw which is a first for me and surprisingly it works! Pair it with any agua fresca and you're there! I'll personally recommend the horchata as it's light and not overly sweet. If you're looking for tacos slightly out of the norm then you'll love this place!

Could literally have Salsa Limón for every meal and be happy. I love almost everything I've tried, but my faves are the migas with potato/cheese/bacon, the pastor quesadilla, and the breakfast or granjero taco (all of these things + x3 of the jalapeño salsa). Also the horchata is a must!! Hangover food staple!

Great place with flavorful options. Stopped in during visit for robotics competition. Food was delicious and came out promptly (was definitely freshly cooked). Would highly recommend this cute and open place for a quick bite wish I'd had time to stop in for breakfast.

Fantastic breakfast tacos! Open a little late for downtown, but worth the wait. Their green sauce is the best!

This place is so fire. This is my go to Sunday morning breakfast burrito spot. Service is always awesome and ambiance is killer. Get the chorizo and add potatoes and it's chefs kiss

Love, Love, Love! I was in town for work and popped in here everyday. The service is great and the food is AMAZING!

If you mess up street tacos, you simply shouldn't be working in a restaurant. One of my coworkers recommended Salsa Limon to me, so my lady and I slide through to give them a try. Location: C... Corner spot... If you aren't paying close attention, you'll drive right past it like I did. Small inside, but enough room to support the in & out crowd they receive. Staff: C... The cashier presented a lot of customer service skills. However, the rest of the staff didn't speak much English, which showed. Their lack of customer service was off putting, due to the language barrier. Food: D- The carne asada was lacking seasoning, and the corn tortilla were undercooked, leaving them tough. I requested cheese for my tacos expecting cojita cheese, but I noticed shredded cheese had been burned on top of my tortilla. Which gave my tacos an unnecessary amount of excess grease. I eventually removed the filling and ate that with my rice because the beans were spicy. Why?!? Nobody wants spicy refried beans...Ugh, this meal was a waste of time and money. I left the same way I came hungry!!!

I think I just had the best burrito of my life, so had to let yelp know. Salsa Limon 4ever

Was absolutely amazing. I had a barbacoa burrito and it was great especially with the jalapeño hot salsa!

100% hit just like the OG location in Fort Worth, TX! My husband grabbed us a to-go order of a Veggie El Capitan Taco, Al Pastor El Capitan Taco and a famous El Campeon Burrito. They each were spot on with flavor. My favorite is always the Veggie El Capitan Taco -- it's black beans, avocado, cabbage slaw in a buttery flour tortilla with melted cheese. As mentioned above, this was a to-go order so I have no idea of the ambiance or service at this location. The food was exactly how I remembered, though! *one of the best tacos always*

Great place for a quick takeout lunch. Al pastor tacos are $3.50 each (other meat options available) and three makes a filling meal. A crunchy cabbage slaw, onion and cilantro come standard, and there are premium toppings available at extra cost (e.g., extra meat, cheese, avocado). The tacos are good, though I wish the tortillas were homemade instead of store bought. The complimentary salsa station is nice: there is a choice of four salsa ranging from mild to super spicy.

From the moment you step in, you can see that this is a popular spot for downtown diners. The restaurant is cozy, with a large central bar and big windows that let in plenty of natural light. The staff is incredibly friendly and hardworking, and they manage to get the food out quickly despite the busy atmosphere. Now let's talk about the food. I tried the El Captain and Taco with Chicken and they were both excellent. The flavors were well-balanced and the portions were generous. My friend had the granje El Captains and he loved it. The real highlight for me was the salsa station - there were various types of salsa available, each with its own unique flavor profile. We also asked our host for a spicy margarita and it was the perfect accompaniment to our meal. Overall, I highly recommend this place for anyone looking for a delicious and satisfying meal in a lively atmosphere. Whenever I visit Dallas again I would definitely visit again.

Their Sopa was incredible! I know I was hungry but sheesh! Delicious. Excellent service as well

If you are looking for a clean, delicious, fast/casual dining experience, Salsa Limon is the place to be! Our go-tos are either a breakfast burrito or the Campeón burrito, but also have not found anything on the menu that we don't like. Everyone at the establishment is friendly and puts their passion on the plate! Additionally, if you want to top off your dining experience, you can't go wrong with a margarita to wash everything down!

This place was AMAZING!! The burritos were HUGE & good!! The service was amazing!! The staff were sweet and accommodating. This place is top of my list for having one of the best burritos.

Tasty place to grab lunch! Delicious & authentic burritos! They also have a bar. I think they were also on a travel show

If I could only eat one taco for the rest of my life it would be from here. I was first introduced to Salsa Limon as a college kid when they were a mere food truck parked on Berry Street in Fort Worth. I was immediately hooked- their tacos are the perfect kind of street tacos with a pickled slaw and house made salsas which will kick ya right in the butt.

The service here was good and the scene was pretty lit and eccentric.. but the food wasn't very impressive.. the tacos were pretty small and the burrito was too mushy.. but they do have this habanero hot sauce that is real good. I don't think I'll be back unless it's to take some hot sauce to go !

Spent a weekend in Dallas and saw Salsa Limón a couple blocks from the hotel, and that it is Latinx owned. Being a SoCal lifer, I've had my share of amazing Comida Mexicana. Salsa Limón es una de las mejores comidas mexicanas que he comido. Better than most LA restaurants. I highly highly recommend if you happen to be in Downtown Dallas!

We are sad to leave this review, my wife and I have been coming to Salsa Limon as regular customers for almost two years, sure the food is average but consistent for quick bites and the employees are always the best, so welcoming and friendly! Tonight sadly will be our last dinner here, there are way to many homeless around the area, we have to navigate at times with the homeless on the sidewalk to enter or they are just hanging around loitering asking for money. We hate to say it but if you continue to allow them into your restaurant, use the bathrooms and give them free cups to get water They will Continue to COME IN!! You're encouraging this problem, the YMCA is one block away where they have access to what they need. Tonight a homeless guy walked in, his pants are down to his ankles literally naked, he stunk up the entire restaurant with urine and feces smell it made our stomachs turn and couldn't eat anymore, we threw away our half eaten dinners. This guy was given a free cup, he walked everywhere in the restaurant then to get water, walked by all your customers and really smelled up the place. We had to walk out the back door of your restaurant along with another couple to escape the noxious smell! This is not the first time we experienced this while eating here in fact in the past year over 9-10 times for certain we have seen and experienced this. I would think paying customers would be the people you would want to attract and keep rather than allowing the homeless to frequent your facility, touch the drinks machines, counters and salsa dispensers with their dirty hands and give them free cups to walk around and get refills. We all have to touch these areas as well after they just contaminated those areas with who know what.... Sorry Amigos, we hate to leave this review but it's all truth, hopefully you will appeal to the city to remove the homeless from your area which I'm sure has an impact to your bottom line sales/revenue, not to mention my wife never feels safe when we come when it's after dark outside. Update review, to the owner who responded: thank you kindly for your response and we understand how the homeless can get violent with you if you don't give in to them, we have been yelled out by a homeless person in our restaurant and we witnessed a 7 Eleven employee and a homeless person attacking each other with a baseball bat next door in the middle of the street while we were trying to get to your restaurant on another occasion. We understand trying to help those in need however as a place of business/ serving food allowing people to enter with feces/ urine or naked in and allowing them to touch things paying customers need to use is completely unsatisfactory. This is not only your problem but many businesses downtown that the city is allowing to sadly take over and ruin. If they drive customers away you all will have no business and unfortunately have to close if this problem continues to escalate. The safety of my wife/ customers is most important including the cleanliness of those who are entering the restaurant. If you feel the need to help people perhaps put signage to direct them to the YMCA one block down the street where they can get the help and resources they need instead of encouraging them to come in or have security at the front door to move them along in addition to keeping your employees safe since they are also confronted by them? Again, thank you so much for taking time to respond back, until this issue is rectified in the area of downtown where your located we will have to stay away, we have had way to many encounters/ experiences while parking to walk to your restaurant or while eating there.

So my coworker decided to bring me here to Salsa Limon, it's my first time trying this place. This place was so crowded maybe because it was during the lunch rush, well, sort of. But there was plenty of seating. I went ahead and ordered the Carne Asada torta, and she ordered a bowl with chorizo, avocado, sour cream and cheese, which actually looked really good. Let me start off by saying the food is so delicious. I wanted to go back and order some more food but the line was just too long, the service here is great as they take your food to the table. The place itself was a little bit too warm maybe because the building has too many windows in particular, it was just really warm in there but the ambience overall was great. The place is surrounded by office buildings so a lot of office personnel having lunch there I was going to end up giving them a five star but what was really holding me back was it it took me about 25 minutes to find parking and it was just a little bit too warm inside the restaurant. Their food is delicious. I will definitely go back when it's not busy and try a variety of things and obviously snap a little bit more pictures, overall it was a great place

November 2021 - COVID Review: So glad that I found this place on Yelp! It's located a bit off the main downtown strip. The inside is spacious and the staff were nice. The food also didn't take very long either. You order at the front and the food is brought to your table. They have a number of salsas varying from mild to extra spicy for you to use with your food. The carne asada tacos were so delicious!

Since I moved downtown, I'm in love with this place! Amazing breakfast and street tacos! They even have their own app where you can order ahead of time and earn points. They could definitely use better signage because I didn't know what this place was for a while.

I've gotta admit, this place impressed me! This is a busy downtown location, serving all sorts of folks. The restaurant is small, with a large bar smack in the middle, there's plenty of lighting because of the huge windows. The staff is friendly and very hardworking, and the food comes out surprisingly fast. It gets packed for lunch, so be ready to be in a long line. Food-Al pastor burrito is great! It's not Tex-Mex, it's just Mexican, which I really enjoyed. The meat seasoning was well done, the ingredients in the burrito complimented it well and made it work! It's a good size serving and their chips and guac are also very tasty. All and in all, great place with tasty food at reasonable prices.

I use to love coming here for lunch, sadly it seems a lot has changed recently. The cost of the food has increased (Understandable) while drastically decreasing the quality... If you're going to increase cost at least keep the same quality of food. The amount of meat you've receive over the past year has drastically dropped. The amount of beans and rice has seemed to double as of late. Groups of us from work use to come here but not anymore. With the drastic fall in quality and price increase, we will not be returning. If you would have at least kept the same quality of burritos we wouldn't have cared about the price increase.

I had brunch at Salsa Limon and it was underwhelming. The bacon egg and potato tacos lacked flavor; eggs and potatoes were under-seasoned. The tortillas tasted like those store-bought ones and they overpowered the whole taco. I would only come back for drinks and appetizers.

I may be a little addicted to their breakfast tacos. My fav in Dallas by far! I keep telling myself I will return for their lunch menu because Ive seen them prepping it and it looks amazing but I can't resist ordering this particular breakfast taco! And they serve breakfast items all day! Heaven. I get mine with egg, potato, bacon, cheese, and avocado on a toasty tortilla with salsa. I usually order two or three and eat the next day to save an extra trip. It reheats well in a moist towel. They cook to order so it's always hot and fresh. My biggest tip is to double check the order before you leave. On occasion they have accidentally missed an ingredient and I didn't realize until I got home but this is not usually an issue. I go to the location on Akard. There is always meter parking available on the street in front, so its easy to get in and out. Nice staff too!

Found this while searching for food and driving. Easy street parking you can use right out front. Lots of seating area which is nice. Didn't take long to get our food, but the taste was delicious, we got 2 pineapple barrito, 1 topo chico to drink. And for food we got 4 steak tacos, 1 burrito and 2 other tacos. I love that you can get painting beans or black beans which is nice. I didn't try any drinks but saw a few other customers enjoying a margarita. Will be going back for sure

Hands down my favorite breakfast tacos. I get an egg and bacon taco on flour and add cilantro/onion and a granjero taco add bomba. I'm a salsa lady so I use them all, but my faves are the creamy jalapeño and piquin. But the tomatillo and habanero are delicious too. I can't believe how long it's taken me to write this because their breakfast tacos have become a Sunday ritual in my life.

I was looking for Cuban food on Yelp and stumbled across this spot so i decided to try it out ! (No worries, this is not a Cuban restaurant) The atmosphere was really comfy and it was pretty quiet. The employees are sweet and super helpful. We got 3 Al Pastor tacos and 2 Asada Tacos. They were super good ! I will definitely be back for the El Campeon Burrito !

Sunday, I ordered el Campeón. It's barbacoa, rice, beans, fried egg, cream, avocado, onions and cilantro. For $12 it was worth it! It's huge! I took my time and enjoyed with tomatillo and jalapeño crema. 10/10

Never order from here from Uber Eats They forgot 4 tacos on a $42 order that included a pastor burrito, 2 breakfast tacos, 2 El capitans and guacamole. We got the burrito, guacamole and 2 containers of chips. Quality control sucks. Never again.

Some of the BEST EFFIN TACOS IN DALLAS!!!... That's how I wanna start this review off. Now I'm a True Taco Tuesday, Fat Boy from the South keep a Taco in my Mouth kinda Guy. I've eaten at this place a few times in the last 2 years and I can honestly say Every Time the food & flavors BLEW TF OUTTA MY MIND!!! The name of this place "Salsa Limon'" is Soooooo Fitting because I swear between the Marinadation of the Meats & That MF Jalapeño Salsa!!!. See what I'm talkin about lol. Shits so good I had to make up a word to get my point across. Now I love the Burrrritos here but to me the Academy Award for best Actress in a Daytime Series goes to THEIR EL CAPITAN' TACOS!!! Oh my Good God All Mighty!!! Help me Lord, Help me Oprah Winfrey, Help me Tom Cruise those things Are Deadly Darn Good!!! They are basically traditional Mexican Street Tacos as far as Onion & Cilantro but with a Heavenly Twist they Grill a Buttered Down Flour Tortilla with tha Oaxaca-Jack cheese right on it. Then they toss on Fine shredded pickled Cabbage and all their Meats are SUCCULENT!!! When I tell you it's hard to find Flavor this Robust in a Taco, I tell no LIES!!! Anyways yall please treat yourselves to this Hidden Gem of Dallas & try the El Capitan Tacos with the Jalapeño Salsa... As the kids say, ON MY MAMA you won't be disappointed lmao...

Greeted as soon as you enter the door. They serve tacos, burritos, salads, etc... Great variety of fill ins for your meal. Mexican bottled drinks, self serve and more. I ordered the Pastor Taco and it was delicious. A lot of tables to choose from. Great location in downtown area.

Food: taco was great! You can London build your own taco. They have a regular or premium option (for finer meats). I went with the regular chicken on El Capitan. The chicken was flavorful and crispy. The salad was sauced with tangy flavors which all mixed well. It's not impressive to look at and not a stuffed taco but the flavors are amazing as is the sauce (i went with mild) Price: pretty fair for what you get. About $3 for a taco Service: i waited quite a bit to have my order taken. The place was pretty much empty. There were 3 ppl behind the counter. 2 cooks and a server. She was taking phone orders and inside orders. They could do with more help for faster service Ambiance: love the look and feel of this place felt like i went back in time to some retro era. Very nice decor and many seating options at various heights. I also like that it's a open kitchen. Overall a go to spot for a quick bite or full on meal if you go for more than 1 taco.

Absolutely amazing food. Ordered the burrito and it was the bomb! Breakfast tacos are so good too! My 4 year old ate 2 bacon and egg tacos- they were that good! Service was great!

The tacos are BIG. I usually get 2-3 tacos, but I could only eat one and a half, and I was very full after one. It was a bit heavy and I felt very full after. Chips and salsa were good as well. Very fast service and cute spot overall with plenty of seating. Would recommend, but would only get one taco next time.

El Campeon was off the chain!! I would come back in a heartbeat! Pretty quick service.

Found this spot through yelp and decided to check it out. We came for an early lunch and there was plenty of seating available. I went with the campeon burrito which was advertised as their recommended order. It has rice, beans, Barbacoa, avocado, and a cream sauce inside. It was good and very filling, half was enough to fill me up. There are also salsa available that go from mild to crazy habenero hot. The mild flavor was really good but the hotter ones really add a spice to your dish. Overall it was a good meal, and great way to start our morning.

The food was amazing. Simply put. Loved all the different salsas and the staff was very nice.

After trying Limón Salsa at Forth Worth location, i really liked breakfast tacos, so today i tried at Dallas location. Super fast service, very simple ingredients and same time delicious. Lemonade comes with huge cup, you can just get extra cup divide between 3 people... About parking spot i am not sure, it's easy to take train, get out at Akard Station.

Loved the bean and cheese burritos. Service was adequate ambience was fine. Food was really good.

The amount of salsa the give you for a breakfast burrito is laughable. And that's if they don't forget to actually give you a salsa for a burrito. Stop being stingy.

My friends and I were in town and were looking for places to get tacos. We found Salsa Limon on yelp and it looked pretty good, so we decided to check it out. From the outside, you could tell the place is nice and bright. I ordered a few tacos with chips and guacamole at the counter. I was quite surprised by how expensive it was as my total ended up being like $21 for 3 tiny tacos and chips with guac. I really did enjoy my food and their salsas that they had up at the counter. They also gave a very generous serving of guacamole considering I got a small size and it was too much for me to finish with the amount of chips they gave me. I definitely recommend this restaurant if you want a good quick bite of street tacos or breakfast burritos (which is what my friends got).

Great service, I came here for the first time for lunch . Really good beef tacos. Definitely will be back .
