Enough taco-ing about it, let’s dive in.

This local taco haven opened its first brick-and-mortar in October, where guests can enjoy signature family-recipe birria + live music.

Salsa Limon
📍925 University Dr.
Nicknamed Salsita by its founders, Rosalia + Milo, this taco joint specializes in spicy salsas, including their “Mexican-grade hot” Habanero salsa.
