Tried this place for the first time after reading all the amazing reviews. I do agree, parking is tight and expect a line up out the door even at 8pm. I tried 3 tacos: the fish taco, beef taco and a pulled pork taco. The fish taco was amazing, the beef taco was way too salty and pulled pork taco was tasty. The beef and pork tacos didn't have much on them (a tiny amount of cilantro and onion). I'm looking at all the pics posted and found my tacos had only half the amount of filling than what I saw in those pics. A little disappointed by that, but am still willing to come back again to try other versions and have some more fish tacos. I found 3 tacos didn't seem to fill me, 4 may do it next time hopefully.

Wanted Mexican and I keep seeing this place every time I drive by on Kingsway
Decided to drop by and eat in but one of the regrets wanted to go home and get on his computer.
So take out it was.....dark interior but bright because of the sun...cashier was patient and pleasant....after ordering was directed to wait outside...order came out quickly...
I ordered a burrito bowl with chorizo....one rugrat ordered a plain quesadilla with guacamole.
The beans, rice and veggies were standard fare but the chorizo was really good! Right amount of spice,fat,tenderness...yummy!
Rugrat liked the cheesy quesadilla with the guac.
Next time we will sit in!Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Jul 3, 20242 check-ins
Love this Mexican place on Kingsway! Great menu diversity offering a variety of meats including lamb and pork tongue plus in house cocktails and horchata. Their service was good, patient with taking orders and fast in bringing foods to your table.
Food was yummy, and I can't believe it's my first time here. Fate has it that I've been missing out all these years whilst visiting next door for a Vietnamese banh mi - yes, I'd be returning for my future burritos, quesadillas and guacamole cravings.
I enjoyed their lamb burrito and horchata - Juicy meat + tasty drink with authentic sauces at their condiment station = a good lunch combo :)
Also, its interior was interestingly more funky than its strip mall neighbors and surprisingly spacious inside, with booths, square tables for twos & fours, and even a small play area for kids.
Will definitely visit more often - this place is a convenient option for both dining in and take out.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - 3794541832Aug 7, 2024Updated review58 check-ins
Still my favourite burrito in Vancouver. Good service, great taste and very reasonable priced. Great job Sal Y Limon.
Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0May 16, 2024Previous reviewLove stopping here for take out as think the burrito is a perfect lunch...all nicely wrapped. And Sal y Limon still has my vote for the best chicken burrito in Vancouver. Great taste and value at $12.55.
Nov 30, 2022Previous reviewWas in the mood for Mexican and returned to Sal y Limon as reading their menu options, I thought it was possible to order the carne salsa verde burrito that they had replaced a few years back. I was advised that this was not an option as the carne salsa roja still has potatoes and onions (not fully cooked) in it. The server sold me on Pollo Pibil (chicken made with achiote paste and orange juice) which has no onions or potatoes...easy sell.
With the avocado and jalapeño salsas, it made for a very tasty burrito. I love the way the cabbage, chicken, rice and beans and the two salsas come together in every bite. Big thanks to the server for her suggestion.
The price point is still reasonable and it was a positive burrito experience.Apr 5, 2022Previous reviewSal y Limon have changed some of their menu items a few months back. My go to burrito (carne with salsa verde) has been replaced with carne with salsa roja. You would think that only the salsa would be changing from a green salsa to a red salsa but that is not the case. I have been back 3 times since the change and tried the new burrito each time. The burrito lacks flavour and I was not a fan of the way they incorporated the onions and whole pickled jalapeños into the burrito. Service wise, there is no issue.
I can no longer say that Sal y Limon makes the best burrito in the city and have no plans to return.Apr 21, 2021Previous reviewOrdered my usual, the carne salsa verde burrito with avocado and also jalapeño salsas on the side. Still my favourite burrito in the city. A perfect lunch and at just over $11, it is still great value. The current dine in restrictions have not impacted Sal y Limon as they switched to take out only at the start of COVID in March 2020...hard to believe it has been over a year.
Always a positive food experience and happy to recommend Sal y Limon if in the 'hood and looking for a burrito.Oct 15, 2020Previous reviewSal y Limon shut their dining area during COVID and currently operate as take out only. That is totally fine and happy to continue to support this establishment which I believe has the best burrito in the city. At just over $11 with tax, the carne con salsa verde burrito with the avocado and the jalapeño salsas is the perfect lunch.
Always a positive food experience at Sal y Limon and happy to recommend it.Jun 9, 2018Previous reviewStopped by for dinner on a Friday night after reading so many positive reviews. As expected, it was quite busy with a short line...the line was quite a bit longer when we departed. Very happy that we were able to secure seating. You wait in line, order and they bring your food out to you. And they are family friendly with a play area for the kids.
I ordered the carne asada con queso....a stuffed burrito with rice, beans, cabbage, jalapeño, sour cream and aioli. It was definitely one of the best burritos I have had in some time and very filling. There is a self serve sauce area with (I believe) eight different sauces. I enjoyed the avocado and diabla sauces. At about $10, the burrito was good value with great flavours.
It was a very positive food experience and happy to recommend Sal y Limon. - Dec 23, 2023Updated review
Affordable and friendly service as usual. I haven't been here long time but surprised they didn't raise the price so much as compared with other Mexican restaurants.
I tried super sal y Limon burrito which contains pulled pork, Chicken and chorizo. Very delicious and quite big portion. Highly recommend :)Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 2Oh no 0Jan 10, 2016Previous reviewMy friend and me went to Sunday lunch. The volume of burrito was big enough for me and so tasty. I noticed the restaurant was kids friendly but sometimes too noisy. I mean we had to speak loudly. Next time, I might chose late lunch time.

My recent dining experience at this restaurant left me with mixed feelings. The lack of meat in each taco compared to the past was disappointing given the relatively high prices per taco. To make matters worse, I discovered a metal wire in my food, which raised serious safety concerns.
However, the shining star of this experience was the exceptional staff. When I alerted them to the issue, they acted promptly and professionally to rectify it, which was highly commendable. Their dedication to customer satisfaction was evident throughout the meal.
On the positive note, the food arrived swiftly, showcasing the kitchen's efficiency. Quick service is always appreciated, and it enhanced the overall dining experience. Additionally, the salsas provided added a burst of flavor to the dishes. They were both diverse and delicious, complementing the tacos perfectly.
In summary, while the lack of meat and the high price point gives this place a low value, and the discovery of a metal wire in my food was concerning, the outstanding service from the staff, prompt food delivery, and delightful salsas helped salvage the experience. I hope the restaurant addresses these shortcomings to truly elevate its dining experience.Helpful 0Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0 - Apr 13, 2023
Sal Y Limon is one of those places I cycle back to every few months. I typically get take out and the food is always delicious.
My go to is the Taco Picnic Pack which comes with one protein, tortillas, rice, beans, salsa, and a container of onions and cilantro. I've tried the chicken and the steak. Both are always tender and flavorful. Salsa is made in house and fresh. The rice and beans are addictive.
For $32 you can't go wrong! It says it feeds 2-3 people, but I tend to overeat with the food here so I'd say it's perfect for 2 people. It's hard to stop when food is so good.
With the many times I've spoken with staff there even for take out, it's always been pleasant. Good vibes and reasonable prices.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0 - Brent K.Fairview Slopes, Vancouver, Canada18Jun 28, 2024
Great diner-style Mexican place. Try the quesadilla de carne asada, great stuff. Enjoy horchata as well.

This place has been popular and has expanded but doesn't mean they serve great food. The food is decent and I do eat here but not a place I'd bring friends to unless we're starving. It's not cheap either. An ahogado (wet) burrito is about 17+tx/tips =$21. I prefer this salsa sauce style because otherwise the burrito ends are too dry since tortilla shells are just the premade stuff you get at any supermarket and not fresh made in house.
Their burritos do not normally come with salsa, guacamole or cheese!
Guacamole or cheese are extra cost. I did splurge and asked for guacamole but at least it was a good size. My burrito today was missing sour cream-they forgot I guess. The fillings inside the burrito was mostly rice, beans and cabbage. Even though I ordered the Al Pastor style there was barely any meat or pineapple. I think I only tasted one chunk of pineapple.
Yes, size wise it's big but it's more quantity than quality.Helpful 2Thanks 0Love this 1Oh no 0Jun 9, 2014Previous reviewWent over to try the chorizo con queso burrito today as another reviewer had recommended it to be pretty good. I combo'd it once again, this time the soup was a tortilla soup (red bell pepper or tomato base- not sure which) which was pretty nicely prepared with sour cream and crunchy tortilla on top. For drink I tried the pina colada which was thick and rich. Ah yes the chorizo con queso was very filling, with enough cheese and meat hot off the grill. For some reason I couldn't finish everything so took home half the burrito for dinner. Chorizo is known to be a spicey sausage but in this case it was fairly mild so should be generally palate friendly.
1:30 Monday afternoon short line up. Btw they're expanding this location!!!!May 12, 2014Previous reviewVery busy here on a Monday night. There's a line up but being new here it gave me time to decide what to get. I rarely order drinks or soup but here it was an option for just $2.75 for a homemade drink AND a side dish. That's probably the cheapest "make it a combo" in town! 3 tacos, coconut horchata and a soup and I had a decent not too filling dinner- which is what I wanted. The tacos were all different and had their unique flavor but once you add your own choice of sauces it's a completely different story. I tried 3 different sauces, Salsa being the mildest (least spicy), avocado fairly spicy as was the three chilli (but I think they spelled it "tree" chilli). So be careful if you can't handle the heat. Somehow the tacos didn't have that "kick" I've experienced at other joints, some in NY. May be because the toppings were a tad thin, lack of onions and herbs. I'm not too sure, but I'll update once I make my rounds around Vancouver this summer.

Ambiance: 4/5
Service: 4.5/5
Food: 4/5
Overall: 4/5
For a laid back neighborhood taco spot, this place does a good job! They have a large menu that appeals to both meat-eaters and vegetarians alike which is always great to see. I came on a weeknight and it was half-full but we were able to get a seat right away. Due to it being a no frills type of place, you order at the counter first and pay then take your number to a seat and wait for your food to be brought out.
For ambiance, this place is what it's supposed to be - nothing fancy but nice enough with plenty of seating. As for service, I found everyone working at the restaurant nice and the food came out quick so no complaints there. I ordered 3 tacos and found it the perfect amount for a meal and I liked that you can mix n' match your flavours.
Overall I'm a fan of this spot and think it's a great option when you're in the neighbourhood and craving some Mexican food!Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
