Salsa Limon, The Jewel of the Museum District

I first tried Salsa Limon at the food truck park behind the Montgomery Plaza Super Target. I was so impressed, I chose to return for my birthday meal with my family shortly after. It was a big hit with everyone.

I had an opportunity to return and stopped into the University drive Salsa Limon Museo location at brunch the other day. It was unusually packed for that time thanks to a rained out Colonial golf tournament. 

I ordered a Chicken Taco. It was served on double corn tortillas that never broke. It was topped with pickled cabbage, onion, cilantro, and served with a wedge of lime. It was delicious. The pickled cabbage balances the heavier flavors. The creamy avocado tomatillo green sauce also was outstanding. The perfect heat and full of flavor.

I also ordered the steak El Capitan that came on a buttery toasted flour tortilla. It was topped with melted Oaxaca-Jack cheese, pickled cabbage, onion, cilantro, and a wedge of lime. Another very satisfying choice. My only complaint was the greasiness of the buttery tortilla. It was a bit much. A normal cooked flour tortilla would have been perfect, known as "Norte" style at Salsa Limon.

I also tried the weird orange salsa pictured. Steal clear of it. I have no idea the ingredients, but it smelled and tasted like the powdered cheese out of a Kraft Mac n Cheese box mixed with milk and served cold. Other than that...

I highly recommend this place. If your in the museum district, put this on your list of must visit places.
