      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!

      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.

      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 :)

      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.

      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.

      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.

      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!
