Eating out in Montreal is always a good time because Montreal never seems to disappoint me with Good Food and Good Times.
Limon has a really nice dining atmosphere... nicely lit, comfortable seating and relatively quiet atmosphere. And food was gawddamn good. Kinda pricey (for those who are broke) but the food is tasty and wonderful, so whatever.. I'll just put it on my credit card and forget about it. I myself ordered some shrimp tacos and I cleaned my plate nice and good.
Nice place if you want to impress someone you really care about, like your mom or your mistress. -

I was really hoping to find the next great mexican restaurant... but i didn't !!! the food is ok, not bad but not great, the problem is that it's way overpriced for what it is
apetizer + entree will bring you to 35$-40$ per person!! i don't mind spending when the food is great but when it's just average, then LIMON we have a problem!
even the Margaritas are average but at 12$ a glass... can get way better for half the price.
the restaurant itself is very nice, i would recommend going with a group because it's quite noisy. but the seats... oh my God, so uncomfortable, no cushion and so big you are too far from the table when you wanna eat!!!
service was nice, a bit slow, but ok for a Sat night
i really love mexican food and i can say i was disapointed with Limon, maybe the expectations were too high! too bad, i will not be coming back and will not recommend it -

My second time coming to Limon, and like each time, it doesn't leave much of an impression on me.
The food is not the best, but I've only tried the tacos here, and they are okay. They are also really pricey and perhaps the ambience is just a bit loud and too dark. The first time I came to this place, we had such a difficult time reading the menu, that each of us (5 total) had to take the candle close to the menu to read what it said.
Also of note: there is an ad on the back of the menu. Yes, that's right there is an ad on the back of the menu. I draw attention to this only because the decor of the restaurant is quite modern and tasteful. The menu is set to be something of moderate-pricey, The clientele seemed to be touch classier than casual dressers. The appearance of the ad on the back of the menu, is so out of character and doesn't fit in. We concluded that they must be trying to help out a family member or close friend because selling ad space would be down right tacky.
Now, having said all that, I found myself going back to it, because of proximity and as I said, their food is okay. -

We stumbled upon Limon late at night and decided to check it out on a whim. We regretted it. Limon is overpriced, too noisy, too pretentious and has no idea what good and fresh food is. Also, they have giant car and wine ads inside their menu which is the weirdest thing I have ever seen at a restaurant. I guess selling out their integrity as restauranteurs wasn't too difficult.
On to the food.. the entree we had, the guacamole dip with nachos. The guacamole has no spiciness to it whatsoever, so while the taste is acceptable it definitely lacks in depth.
The fajitas... for $15 I expected something more than what an El Paso Fajitas kit could give me on a tuesday night after work. The flavors were really bland and the ingredients sorely under seasoned. The vegetables and condiments tasted like water and the chilli sauce (which the waitress forgot to bring us at first) had no bite to it whatsoever and once again no depth to it.
We spent most of the meal joking around about how bad the place was and how they have to pump "bar music" really loudly so that their customers might forget how they are being screwed and how their food tastes like Uncle Bob's Very Forgettable Taco Night. -
Review from J.F. H.
I live 10 minutes away from Limon so when my sister called me and asked where I wanted to go for my birthday, I figured it might be nice to hit Limon and enjoy a nice Mexican meal on the terasse. I have to say the night started off on a bad note when we were told that they didn't have a table for us on the terasse even if we had made our reservation the week before and were assured a table on the terasse. The hostess gave us an attitude as if it was our fault they had given our table away. We were seated at the noisiest table in the place right next to the bar where the owner seemed to be hosting a party for his friends. This made it hard to hold a conversation with anyone other then the person sitting next to you.
The hostess seated us but forgot to give us menus and the wine list, so when our waitress finally see if we wanted something to drink and we asked for menus and a wine list she turned walked away mumbling something that sounded like insults and didn't come back around for another 10 minutes. We finally ordered drinks and some appetizers which came quickly because they were delivered to our table by the busboy. Our waitress spend the entire night at another table drinking wine and doing shots, thank god for the busboy. If it wasn't for him I fear we would have never received our meals.
When we finally got our food we all agreed that it had about as much in common with authentic Mexican food as the taco kit from old Elpasso.
my meal was bland, the presentation looked thrown together and it was served cold. Suffice it to say I was unimpressed with my meal.
The decor of the place is interesting, they had framed images of various Mexican themed pictures that made us chuckle, the tables had good separation between them and were pretty comfortable.
All and all our experience at Limon was disappointing. Bad service and bland food makes that I won't be back anytime soon. -

And now we come to Cinco de Mayo. Sadly, there were no events in Montreal. I diligently searched on Google to no avail. So I settled on a snazzy Mexican joint, Limòn, in the St. Henri quartier. I met my friend, Philippe, at 5:30 sans reservations - shame on me. Every single table in the place was open but there wasn't anything available until 8:00. Strange. I guess they just reserve the tables the whole night with reserved signs and the party has it for the whole night. So we ended up eating at the bar.
Even the Mexican restaurant didn't have any Cinco de Mayo specials! Although, I guess this is to be expected since it commemorates the Battle of Puebla, which was a victory over the French. I celebrated with a couple of margaritas which weren't of the size or quality that I'm used to, and the place had absolutely no Mexican flare.The enchiladas were so so, although the presentation was very nice. The service was just so so as they could've been more friendly. -

Seriously, no idea how anyone could give a good review for this awful restaurant. Agreed on the nice setting. But the food is terrible. And really overpriced! It's always empty...for good reason. I make better fajitas than this place (and so does TGIF) but they charge $22 for them...and sour cream is extra. Food cannot be less authentic. No clue about Mexican food at all. Save yourself the bother.

This was prob my fav meal while in Montreal. The food was amazing, even though the menu was small. We both had nachos and the black beans were incredible which were served on the size. We sat at a great table near the window (fun people watching) and service was perfect. The music was great as well. If I lived in Montreal, I would be here all the time. Laid back, relaxing atmosphere in a fun antiquey district for shopping.

A bunch of buddies came up to Montreal for a bachelor party.. This place is fucking unreal.. The owner is a lady named Genevieve who was absolutely phenomenal. The Huevos rancheros and Beef tacos were to die for and generally the staff was incredible.
