Reviews For Tacos El Limon

I'm in town working. Read the consistently good reviews. Saw another reviewer talk about my favorite, Chile relleno burritos. I had to make the trip to give it a try. I have now eaten dinner here twice. It was so good last night I came back tonight. Every place makes them different. However, the way they make em is now my new favorite. Clean, no extra sauce. Perfectly cooked and deseeded. More rice than beans and salsa if you'd like in the burrito. I'll try to get a picture next week when I'm in town again. It's just so hard to stop once I start. I've had tacos and a quesadilla and they were excellent too. The relleno to me is the measuring stick. If it's done right; everything else they make has got to be good. A lady came up and ordered three carne asada fries while I was waiting. I may have to try that next. The quantity and quality for my money is what constitutes 5 stars.

We drove down from Canada and are visiting family here and across the USA. We stopped and got a couples massage at our favorite place, Asian Relax Massage in Chico, just right near this great Taco place. We do both love tacos, real good tacos. Their tacos are so very delicious! She likes the shrimp tacos and I love the Carne Asada tacos. We got so full. It's not fancy looking, so "Guys-don't take her their for a first date". By the second date you will know if she dines only in fancy places or just likes real good food. We will be back in a few months.

Seriously the best Mexican food I've had in Chico since moving here. The flavor is on point, hot salsa is pretty hot, but they also have mild. I recommend the spicy salsa though. The man who works the window and phone has great customer service as well. They have outdoor seating too, it's set up similar to a taco truck except the window is on the front of a building. You order from outside. Highly recommend!
