Salt and Lime

Visited here for lunch on a Tuesday. Overall, the experience was pleasant, the food was fresh and delicious; would definitely visit again. The service was fair and attentive, nothing I can complain about. Parking was easy as they have a dedicated parking structure under the restaurant.My party and I ordered:* Aguachile Negro* Tacos (3 each, 6 total)My three choices of tacos were: Asada, Mi-rey, and Baja Fish. Out of the three, Mi-rey was my favorite; an explosion of flavor and freshness. Asada was great too, I think it might've had Chinese Crispy Fried Garlic.They recommend 3 for one person, but if you're ordering an appetizer like myself, I'd say 2 is enough.The ambiance was peaceful, yet casual; not too quiet, not too noisy. The ocean breeze of the local area only adds to the experience. The place is semi-open, but it doesn't feel like you're entirely "outdoors" which I appreciated.Their Cafe Mexico City Steak looks amazing, I think I'll try that next time.

My friends and I do a weekly Taco Tuesday, so we decided to check this restaurant out. We sat in the patio area right beneath the pink tree - the decor was so cute! Food came out fast and was very, very good. Rudy was our server and he went above and beyond explaining the menu and ensuring that we ordered all the good things! He was very personable and also asked me if I was over 21, so that was a win! (I'm 36 ) I would definitely recommend this restaurant for anyone who wants fun ambiance and great food. Parking & traffic is a nuisance but that's to be expected in this area.

Don't think twice. GO GO GO! The ceviche, the tostadas, the birria?!Please just go! Worth every cent!!! We are huge fans will be back many times.

We went for happy hour and it was fab!!! We walked up from the beach (only 10 minutes away) which was easy and lovely. They have a simple, yet delicious menu and fast service. Our waiter was awesome and completely on it. They also have great outside seating with a fun vibe and offer free house made chips + salsa - so so good.We tried their house margaritas and they were perfect - not too sweet and perfectly balanced. Their chips and guac was authentic as well but not flavorful enough. I highly recommend stopping here after a beach day for an amazing happy hour!!

Salt & Lime ‍ is a fun restaurant with signature margaritas and tapas. Too bad we were not able to try any of their drinks because they looked really good. I had the bone marrow quesadilla, but to my surprise the quesadilla was plain with the bone marrow served on the side. The quesadilla was dry and mid at-best, but the bone marrow was so tender and flavorful. The potatoes and rice sides were pretty standard. The shrimp appetizer we ordered was beautiful and was the stand-out dish. For the price and portions, probably would not go back other than for the convenience of being next to the fair. This restaurant is outdoors in a covered area (unless you are at a side are exposed to some sun ). Service was fine, but wish that they served ICE water.

Salt and Lime is a modern Mexican restaurant located in Del Mar. The restaurant was busy and the music was a bit loud, but it definitely was an exciting environment to dine at. We ordered the steak & 3 tacos. The steak was seasoned very well and super tender. The 3 tacos were all good but I thought the birria was the best of all of them! Both my husband and I really enjoyed our meals. The service was great here & we'd definitely consider coming back in the future. Street parking.

Great location and beach city setup inside. Came here with party of three on Thursday 6pm, got super lucky on the street parking and got seated immediately. The welcome on the house chips is fresh and crispy. And the taco ( Baja fish) one is 5 star, but the shrimp taco was disappointing (2 star). Highly recommended the lava cake with vanilla ice cream, great texture and freshly baked, not super sweet. Overall service is good, fast refill water, friendly waiters, only unhappy experience in waiting for the paper print out receipt. Definitely great place for friends gathering , a little on the noisy side.

What a nice surprise. Came here on a friend's suggestion for a casual dinner with girlfriends (5 of us). 3 of us met at the bar early and I had their signature Espresso martini with with liquor 43 (I had 3 that night). The bartender made it perfectly. We got to the table and ordered queso fundido, chips and guac and while I'm not vegetarian/vegan the heart of palm ceviche sounded good. The latter of the 3 was nice, light and flavorful. For dinner I shared the sinaloa tostada, another friend had a steak taco, and the ceasar salad with shrimp. Our server Anika was great. She was very attentive/responsive and accurate. Adrian, who I think might have been the manger came to check on us often and brought us a sample of a drink they are thinking about adding to the menu. I'd definitely recommend this spot to other people/friends. It's in a great location, with underground parking, close to the water. We sat at the outdoor patio. It was pretty packed for a Wednesday night but not too loud that we couldn't hear one another. It's casual and good for date, girls, brunch/daytime, or just for drinks.

Went here with my husband for date night and I can't believe we haven't been here sooner! We were sat in the bar. The chairs aren't comfortable on your legs if you're like me and wore a sundress, but that's okay because the margaritas were delicious and I soon forgot my pain. Happy hour here is 7 days per week from 2:30-5:30pm and they had great prices! Our server Annika was the sweetest and so helpful with recommendations. First up was our shot and classic marg - delicious. Super smooth tequila. Chips and salsa were complimentary and came out with our margs and shots. The salsas are so tasty and not overly hot (could've been spicier, honestly, but the flavor was there!!), so these salsas could be enjoyed by kids or those who aren't huge on spice.We then ordered popcorn shrimp and some Queso fundido - both excellent. The cheese pull on that Queso was epic, and the popcorn shrimp were absolute flavor bombs of goodness; perfectly crispy and not at all overcooked. (Pro tip - put the popcorn shrimp on a tortilla that comes with the queso, then load up the queso on there and top with salsa from the chip platter - you're welcome).We then ordered a Put The Lime In The Coconut cocktail, and when I tell you that I would do some questionable things for that cocktail...I mean it. I had two of them, that's how good they were. My husband and I also got tacos - I ordered the quesobirria, the mahi mahi, and the grilled shrimp tacos. I'm a sucker for a good slaw, but I did have to remove a little bit from each taco just so I could fit it all in my mouth for a bite. Past that, these tacos were absolute perfection. I will say though that I wished the quesobirria taco had more onions and cilantro on it, but that could just be personal preference. The consummé to dip it in was so flavorful, too.The restaurant itself is small and I could see it getting very crowded, but we came right at the start of happy hour so we managed to avoid a line. The overall ambiance is actually so stunning, and I'd love to come back at night to see the lights on the ceiling lit up! It feels very breezy and open in there despite its smaller size. Parking was easy as we managed to find one remaining spot in the attached garage, but if you're not lucky like we were, you may have to hunt around and walk. We left Salt + Lime full to the brim, then came home for a nap. Total food coma and totally worth it. We will absolutely be back!

Very good ambiance. The staff is friendly and food is better than expected. I had the Birria tacos and chicken tacos. Very filling. Very delicious.
