Description: Around the corner from the Fine Arts Theater in downtown Asheville, Limones Restaurant provides an inspirational mix of Mexican and Californian cuisine along with inventive bar selections served by a warm, professional staff. Long before working and training under some of San Francisco’s most talented chefs, Hugo Ramirez was raised on the intense and varied flavors native to his hometown of Mexico City. In fact, he still calls on his mother for the secrets of traditional Mexican dishes, which he reinvents in innovative and surprising ways. At Limones, Hugo’s love of Mexican food is combined with his training in french-influenced California cuisine.

My wife and I went here for dinner during our stay in Asheville. It gets pretty packed pretty quickly because it is a relatively small restaurant with few tables. The small atmosphere just enhances the charm of this place. We had the fried plaintains with guac dip to start, which was fantastic. I had the sea bass and my wife... More

What a fabulous dinner we had today at your remarkable restaurant! The hostess, Kaitlyn, was so very attentive and friendly, and our server, Joaquin, was exceptional! Recommendations were spot-on, every course was superbly prepared and presented (thanks so much to your chefs for their artistry, and). Three women on a "southern tour" had a memorable experience, and we will spread... More

We had dinner for the first time at Limones the other night on the advice of friends, and are so glad we did. Everything we had, from margaritas to ceviche to entrees, was fabulous. The menu mixes a lot of different and daring flavors, which we really enjoyed. The Coconut Margarita was wonderful. We will be back!

Got the pork chop with goat cheese mashed potatoes. Heavenly! And large enough to share. We also got the churros with hot chocolate for dessert. Next time I'll ask to skip the churros and just order the divine hot chocolate....practically s*x in a cup!

The food here was innovative and the atmosphere was very comfortable. We went with friends and were able to talk without having to yell. Great way to spend an evening with an extensive margarita list.

We ate last night at this restaurant. We shared a Cevice Verde appetizer and we each had the Sixteen Spice Roasted Chicken. After a day of hiking in the Smokeys we were still hungry and ended our night with Churros. The food was uniformly good. Our waiter made the evening really nice with his humor. The ambience was inviting as... More

Mother's Day trip to Asheville was topped off with wonderful dinner at Limones. We made reservations on our open table app. It is a good thing since they were booked till 8pm when we arrived at 6:30. The service was very good and friendly greeting of "Happy Mother's Day" was nice. I had the lamb chops and they were the... More

Between appetizers and our entrees, so good! So many more things on this menu I want to try. Scallops were excellent and the Sea Bass. Oh, you have to... More

We found Limones last year on our return trip from Florida to Chicago. This year we put Asheville on our trip just so we could return to Limones. Again this year, it was fabulous. The menu changes often. This year I had the lamb chops, served medium rare atop a pea risotto, spinach, and garnished with a cilantro pesto. The... More
