Limon’s

(Oct 2023) finally made it back, been wanting to come back, and was as good as I remembered. Tried the Tamales Veracruz style with pork. Pork had really nice flavor, masa of the tamale was a lot lighter/fluffier than others I’ve had. Salsa was good as very spicy lol the cochinita pibil tacos are hands down my favorite here but really enjoyed the other things we got - mixed plate of picaditas (the red salsa one is really good, also includes mole, a verde salsa, beans and cochinita on the others). Also got the barbacoa de borrego tacos (only on weekends) - excellent. They take card but give a 5% discount for cash. Excellent spot

(Dec 2022) Loved it here! 4 options for tacos, we tried al pastor, cochinita pibil and carne asada (they also have tripe). Really enjoyed all the tacos and would get them again but the cochinita was my favorite, great flavor and juicy, tender meat. Also got an order of the picaditas (5 for $15), each came with a different topping, the rojo salsa was the favorite followed by the mole sauce and cochinita, then the black been/queso and then the verde salsa. But you can’t order just one picadita, you can only get the variety platter but I enjoyed the different flavors. I very much enjoy ordering picaditas on the beach in Mexico topped with black beans and queso, it’s my favorite snack and you can get like 3 or 4 of them for like 30 pesos (aka $1.50), but for not being in Mexico, I enjoyed the ones here.
Was able to easily get a space out front on a Sunday, but backing up can be tricky cause it’s a semi busy street. There’s a few booths where you can order to eat there or you can get take out, I saw some of both. They’ve got sodas and water available but no Agua frescas.

After getting our car repaired, we were hungry for some authentic Mexican food, so we went on Google, this place popped up, so we went 😁
It's a small establishment, but the service is good and the food even better 😋
I had never had "refried" black beans before and I swear they were amazing 🤤🤤
All the food we had was fantastic and drinking it down with some Mexican Coke was the cherry on top 😋
Parking can be a little iffy, but manageable.
Will definitely be back 👍

Fantastic gem of Veracruz style Mexican food. Quality food with very decent portion sizes. Friendly and fast service, family owned and operated gives the authentic feel.

I came from Waco for an in and out occasion and looked for a taco place nearby, this was one of the results. It was not the most rated, but had good reviews. Honestly, we were not disappointed the least, very delicious 😋. I got the empanadas with chicken and side of beans, the empanadas had mashed potatoes inside as well. My friend had a chicken torta, even though she modified it a bit for medical reasons, she said it was very delicious. Good service, place was clean, even had the Avatar on the TV, no loud comottion inside from customers or employees.

Absolutely delicious! My mom was raving about the Veracruz mole dish. We had everything from menudo to tacos to enchiladas. They are a small restaurant, so be patient. They have one large 8person table and the rest are booths. You order at the counter and they bring your food to you. Parking is small because it's a tiny business strip, so may have to street park. Definitely give them your business!

I had been dying to try this place for like 8 months, and recently I finally got the chance to stop by their West Dallas location. I first want to say this is not a Tex-Mex restaurant nor is it your typical authentic Mexican food restaurant or taco spot. Limon's specializes in AUTHENTIC street food from Veracruz. The 2nd thing I want to say is it's going to take me multiple trips and multiple posts to truly showcase this place. It's that good. Literally almost every single thing on their menu is post worthy, and I truly mean that. It might be my new favorite Mexican spot. If you can't take my word for it, Dallas Observer named them one of the 100 must try restaurants of 2020 and one of the top 50 restaurants. Their empanadas are rated #1 on Yelp Dallas!

This trip, we kept it pretty simple just so we could get a decent sample. I got the Combinado Jarocho which came with 2 empanadas (we recommend chicken), an egg with salsa verde, picadas jarochas, and refried black beans. I also had to try their Tamales Veracruzanos, which came beautifully wrapped in a banana leaf. Trixie got the Gorditas Veracruzanos with chicken. It was stuffed in what looked like a puffed and deep fried corn tortilla topped with lettuce, tomato, avocado, cheese and sour cream. They also kindly sent out a couple of tacos out for us to try. The al pastor was excellent, but that conchita pibil was the winner for me.

The ABSOLUTE best tamales wrapped in banana leaves. They’re moist and not greasy. Yummers isn’t a great enough definition!!!! Go grab something good to eat. Tell them LeAnn sent you. :)

Amazing. The torta has to be one of the best in Dallas and the fried banana dessert was delicious. Food here is Veracruz style with just the right amount of spiciness

This place is a small hole in the wall. The food was excellent, and the side salsa... Be careful because they'll burn you. Not in a bad way, but heat wise hotter than mild but not "spicy hot" where you'll be reaching for a glass of milk. I'm now tempted to go for breakfast this weekend.

Great little hidden gem that takes you to veracruz Mexico! The tacos were phenomenal made with homemade tortillas made just for you! I also tried the veracruz tamale with a red dip sauce that was a great combo. Surely will come back!

Never been here but since I was craving REAL Mexican food I decided to give a try.
The place is a small dive but clean.
I ordered the shredded beef empanadas which came 4 to plate. Decent size pieces as I was pretty full after 2 but couldn’t stop eating them. They had that sopapilla outside crunchy yet soft inside to texture.
Now I am suffering from overfilled belly.
The salsa is pretty spicy(lip tingling) and not too tomato chunky which I liked.
I would say the empanadas were one of best I’ve had and I’ve been to a lot of restaurants in Mexico, New Mexico and Texas.
Worth a try if on area.

As we were on our way to Dallas I found this place and called to place an order… the person that answered the phone was really nice and told me they only had fried foods available and they stopped selling tacos for the night. Hung up and decided to call back and I’m so glad I did, my husband wanted tacos but I was definitely going for the Picadillo empanadas!! We were beyond pleased with the quality and taste and I’ve been searching for this taste for a long time! When I arrived I clearly noticed the same man was waiting for us to get there and stayed open just to serve us! A big thank you from a now loyal customer!!!!

Delicious food and people. Empanadas are the best I have ever had. Tamales outstanding and pastor is gold! Go here

Food was GREAT! Not texmex this is authentic cuisine from Veracruz ehich means 100% Mexican. Will be returning definitely exceeded my expectations.

Food is authentic and service is fast these is a Family own and operated restaurant small but big on taste I highly recommend.

Ok I'm going to level with you and this is no exaggeration, this is the best Mexican food in DFW people!! Wow.... so good, everything was so good. NOTHING WAS LESS THAN ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!! I am extremely opinionated about my food and I only want to find the best and here it is. Also the young man who was at the cash register was super friendly and spoke english well which means he can help you decide on what to eat. I started with free tamales he offered us to try, maybe because of my good cash tip. These were ultra fresh and so soft that even though the meat filling was minimal, it was still amazingly light and fluffy, not dense. Next I ordered a mixture of Garnachas which I never heard of but the taste was familiar but awesome. Also had a mixture of gorditas or something like that, to be honest many of these dishes are similar in nature, just slightly different but they're all 100% amazing. The refried beans were as good as any i've ever eaten. I also got the consomme which was awesome, a bit gamey but I think that's traditional. The only thing I was not totally thrilled with was the salsas, they were good but not as amazing as the food. The green sauce was more like tomatillo instead of fresh jalapeno flavor.

Pozole and consome de borrego are two of my favorites, but you can't go wrong with losing your eyes and pick anything from the menu everything is delicious.

Awesome place! Has great food and everything is delicious! You can’t go wrong with anything on their menu!

Usually places like this is extremely hard to find. The food was delicious staff great, amazing "little hole in the wall " restaurant. Will be back again !!!!

Fantastic service and food .. took me back to Veracruz. Everyone enjoyed their meal in our group . The wait on the weekend is worth it.
