Salt & Lime Modern Taqueria

Excellent fast casual Mexican taqueria with beer wine and margaritas. We sat outside on a Saturday night. I had the sweet and spicy chicken burrito and my wife had their shrimp burrito. We also had their Brussels sprouts as an appetizer. Everyone was very friendly and helpful. The Brussels sprouts were nicely cooked and had pomegranate seeds on top which was a nice touch but they were a little too oily and way too much honey on them. It has a lot of potential. The burritos were good side and nicely prepared. I liked the shrimp burrito more than the sweet and spicy chicken. Didn’t taste the kimchi inside at all. It needed a kick that it failed to deliver. It fell flat. I will be back to try a few other items to see what the rest of the menu taste like. I feel like this place can have a lot of potential.

This is our third time here and Salt and Lime has quickly become our favorite spot in all of Orange County for tacos. The quality is exceptional, Chef Zack brings so many wonderful flavors that you can’t find anywhere else. I just tried his wagyu ribeye burrito for the first time, and the charred shishito peppers were a fantastic addition. It’s an absolute must-try when you’re coming here for the first time. Parking is easy, seating is plentiful inside and outside, and the service is great. The tacos come on fresh handmade blue corn tortillas which are so delicious! There are a bunch of different tacos and we have tried almost the whole menu and loved all of them!

This place was impressive and definitely lives up to the hype from its previous reviews. Tacos are generously sized, ingredients sourced and fresh, and lemonade made in-house. I would definitely come back! Gentlemen at the counter was also very polite and it was a relaxed

I’ve been eager to try this place, and their Taco Tuesday deal (buy 3, get 1 free) was the perfect opportunity. As shrimp lovers, we ordered two grilled charcoal shrimp tacos, one rib eye taco, and one crispy fried halibut taco—and they were absolutely incredible. The shrimp had that perfect smoky char, the halibut was golden and flaky (one of the best I’ve ever had!), and the rib eye was so tender, complemented perfectly by their house sauce. Every bite was a delight. Beyond the food, the modern vibe makes it a great spot for a fun friends’ night out. I’ll definitely be back—both for the amazing tacos and the lively atmosphere!

Some of the most delicious tacos I’ve had!! The sauces were amazing and unique and everything tasted very fresh. Meats were perfectly well done. Chef came out and recommended dairy free alternatives for their most popular tacos. I recommend the flight so you can try 4-5 tacos. Highly recommend!!

UPDATED REVIEW - Tacos are still amazing, great flavors!! Go for taco Tuesday, I like the pork belly and yellowtail 😋 The tacos have well-balanced flavor and are large sized, the pork belly is my favorite!

Salt & Lime provides a delicious variety of tacos; but you really need to taste, try, and sample to figure out which ones fit your pallet. I loved the curry dusted chicken taco and thought the salmon taco was quite good. 📝Note: As of July 2024, they have removed the most delicious crusted chicken tacos from the menu; I hope people petition S&L to bring them back! Normally, I really dig vegan tacos, but their sweet potato taco was too sweet for me and their mushroom taco seemed too marinated for my liking. I look forward to returning and trying more tacos. 📝Note: On taco Tuesdays they have a buy three get the fourth free special 🌮🌮🌮+🌮 I did return and tried more tacos: 🐟Tempura fried halibut taco is delicious, as long as you like fried 🍤 Shrimp taco with guacamole and pineapple was delicious; will get it again 🍆 Eggplant taco was very good; a little bit too much cream sauce for my taste; nonetheless a delicious blend of flavors 🍗 Citrus chicken taco was good, and I might order it again, but it was not nearly as phenomenal as the curry dusted chicken taco

Super fast service,great spot to eat, food is delicious and today especially is a beautiful day to sit outside and relax. The pomegranite lemonaid is delicious and refreshing! I tried one of each of their chicken tacos and all 3 were amazing! I love that they have the option to mix and match an get to try whatever you might want. I would absolutely come back!
