The tacos were great. The last visit they were cold but the flavor was still great. The margaritas are awesome and such a great deal. I will definitely be back. read more

Highly recommend this restaurant! The atmosphere was fun, the service was great, and the food was incredible! If you like coconut, you should try the coconut margarita - it was so good! Will return here in the future! read more

Where do I even begin? One of my best friends was in town, so of course we had to stop by. We got the nachos and three tacos. Definitely plenty to share, especially if you're not super hungry. The service is always friendly and fast. I rave about this place, if you're questioning, just go!! read more

Went to Green Lemon on a Friday night with some friends, waited a little over an hour (as expected), but the margaritas at the bar kept us happy. Staff was super friendly and fast with the drinks. Got a corner table and I ordered the shrimp bowl, which was solid. The vibe is loud, party-heavy - great for a college crowd or younger adults. If you're looking for good food, strong drinks, and a place to yell-talk with your friends, this is it! read more

I met my GGF here for lunch and upon arrival I thought this is super cute and kinda dinerish. I ordered the chicken and Brussels bowl and it was super tasty. Then I learned about the $5 margaritas. It was lunch time and I was working through my lunch but who can turn down a $5 margaritas? Not me! I love a spot with a good afternoon drink special and tasty dishes. Go check out this cute Mexican spot right in SoHo read more

Green Lemon - CHICKEN & BRUSSELS BOWL - Mexican Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Green Lemon is a go-to when I'm craving a solid marg and a fun vibe. It's bright, it's upbeat, and the tacos have some fun, creative twists--personal favorites are the kung fu tuna, gigante chicken, and Shia La Beef. They also offer Bibb lettuce wraps if you're looking to lighten things up a bit on taco Tuesday. Whether you're there for happy hour or an easy night out, the food hits and the energy's always good. read more

Green Lemon - HOUSE MARGARITA - Mexican Near Me - Tampa, Florida

Super cute restaurant in Tampa. My coworkers and I walked from our hotel for happy hour. When you walk in you're immediately greeted, and shown to a table. They have Fiesta Hour (happy hour) from 3pm-7pm everyday. This was my first time checking it out & I was impressed!! We shared nachos which was huge! And then we each ordered 3 tacos. I ordered carnitas, pescado (blackened), and Shia La Beef (brisket). The pescado was by far my favorite. read more

Green Lemon is one of my favorite spots in SoHo for fun vibes and flavorful food. The tacos are always fresh (the Street Trio is a must), and the bowls are perfect if you want something lighter. The agua frescas are top-notch, and service is friendly even when it's packed. It does get loud, so don't expect a quiet dinner, but the energy makes it great for hanging out with friends. Definitely recommend for casual nights out. read more

We loved our meal at Green Lemon! I ordered the taco flight where you can choose any 3 tacos and a side item for $13. The ahi tuna taco with mango was probably the best of the three but the asada and pescado were close contenders. The street corn was delicious and had a little kick from some cut up jalapeños. The carnita bowl with cilantro avocado rice was also very good and a great sized portion. Service was friendly and quick! Definitely give this spot a try. read more

Had a fun night at Green Lemon on South Howard with some friends. The large margaritas were solid--definitely strong--but on the sweeter side. A little sugary for my taste, but I'd still probably get one again. We ordered the chicken & Brussels bowl (fire) and the chip trio with dips, which all hit the spot. Pricing felt average for the area, nothing too crazy. It's definitely a younger crowd--think college and postgrad--and the vibe is loud. There was a DJ playing, which made conversations pretty tough at times. I had to ask people to repeat themselves more than once. That said, if you're looking for a lively spot to pregame, hang with friends, or just get some good Mexican food in a party atmosphere, this place fits the bill. Overall: 4/5 -- not ideal for deep convos, but a good time if you're down for some noise and solid food. read more

I love that they have good prices and large portions. The portions were so big that I couldn't even finish most of the food, and the cheese sauce was amazing. The service was good, even though we arrived early, as there's often a wait. read more

Green Lemon is by far one of the best Mexican restaurants in Tampa! Seriously!! I am absolutely addicted to the Chicken and Brussels bowl!! Not only is the food good but the service is FANTASTIC! The manager, Athena is the best! I am so serious when I say their bowls are ADDICTIVE. I've been coming to this spot for over 4 years. Please check it out!! If I could give them 10 stars, I would!!! read more

Green Lemon is a pretty tasty option for those looking to satisfy their taco cravings. They have all the expected favorites like Birria, Asada, Chorizo. And Pescado. Everything is freshly prepared and is well balanced between meat and veggies. The portions are a little smaller so I'd recommend getting 3 tacos if you are hungry. The corn esquites were delicious and highly recommended with anything you get. It taste super fresh and savory. We couldn't decide what to get so we of course got everything.... Fish taco, carne Asada taco. ancho chicken taco, and the Birria tacos that come in 3. The fish taco was awesome (make sure to get it fried). Surprisingly the ancho chicken was very juicy and tasted the best of the tacos. It was packed with flavor with every bite. The Asada taco was pretty average so might try another option next time. The Birria tacos were pretty good too! They were a little on the smaller side so you probably will still be hungry despite eating 3 of them. Overall value was great for the meal. The staff was pretty friendly and attentive. Would definitely be back next time in town! read more

Love this spot! Great happy hour! I like to get here early if I can. We ordered the Loco Nachos off the happy hour menu to start. They are nachos with queso blanco, guacamole, jalapeño, cilantro, sour cream, pico de gallo and black bean purée. I asked for no jalapeños. This was just okay. I didn't see or taste the queso. The black bean purée was good but overpowering. I ordered the Street Taco Trio from the happy hour menu. Love this because you can pick 3 different tacos. I picked the Kung Fu'd Tuna, Asada, and Camarones. All three were incredible! The Kung Fu'd Tuna is Blackened seared rare tuna, pickled red onion, mango, cucumber, sliced avocado, cilantro, sriracha aioli, sesame seeds. The Asada is grilled marinated steak, salsa fresca, crisp cabbage, avocado verde salsa. The Camarones is grilled shrimp, crisp cabbage, cilantro, pickled red onion, charred jalapeño salsa. Everything was fantastic! read more

This time, I went out for one of my best friend's bachelor parties, something a little different and more relaxed, and we had an incredible time. The food was delicious, and the service was outstanding. A special thanks to our server, who was one of the kindest people ever and even treated us to a margarita! One of my favorite dishes is birria tacos, and these were definitely very tasty, but the nachos locos we shared were hands down the highlight of the night. read more

My friend and I decided to switch it up from our normal spot for taco Tuesday and try Green Lemon. First things first, come baring in mind that there is going to be a very long wait! My friend arrived around 6PM, put us on the list and we weren't seated till roughly 7:15PM. Upon entering, the place is loud and colorful. Not where you wanna come to have an intimate 1 on 1 but if you're looking for a fun vibe with friends, then yes. The music blaring were all popular radio hits and I was happy. Now onto the food... everything was honestly incredible. I ordered the Ropa Viejia bowl and it was so fulfilling. It was packed with flavor and came with so much food i had leftovers to take home. The gigantic taco was not my favorite, I think it had too much flavor for me. And to be honest, buffalo sauce on a taco is weird. My friend ordered the shrimp taco bowl and ate every last bit, so it's safe to say that green lemon definitely packs flavorful dishes and I will be back. read more

I grabbed lunch at Green Lemon with a big group of friends and this was the perfect place for a meet-up! It was a fun and lively spot with cool decor. The servers were all very polite and provided great food recommendations. I love tacos in general, but Green Lemon truly blew me away. Their tacos were fresh, delicious, and had very unique concepts (the taco names are also pretty fun). I got the street trio which came with 3 tacos and a side. This was the perfect amount of food for a filling lunch. I decided to get the kung fu'd tuna, shia la beef, and gigante tacos. I could not pick a favorite! The kung fu'd taco came with seared rare tuna, pickled red onion, mango, cucumber, avocado, and cilantro. I liked the mix of fresh ingredients topped with their Sriracha aioli. The shia la beef taco had more of a spicy flavor which was balanced out by the queso fresco and corn salsa. The gigante taco was a fun twist on one of my faves, buffalo chicken. It was paired with classic blue cheese crumbles but also a really nice lime caesar sauce. For a side, I got the plantains. They were absolutely delicious, though they do charge an additional fee. I would definitely recommend Green Lemon for a quick bite or an easy meet-up spot with friends. read more

We went for my cousin's birthday and had an amazing time. Our server Kyle was great. We only had one issue and he fixed it right away he was very nice and attentive. There was a DJ there and the atmosphere was very fun and relaxed. We laughed and danced and had a great time. All of the food was so good, I really enjoyed the loaded fries everyone said that we definitely have to go back. I wish we could have made reservations because there were nine of us, but that still doesn't change the amount of fun we had last night at Green lemon. If possible I would request Kyle again as a server. read more

Food was good, service was terrible. We do not get drink refills or asked if we wanted any. The waitress was avoiding us and would not bring us our check. It's line they didn't want the restaurant to look empty so they kept us there. Will not be returning. read more

Not your typical Mexican joint, it's unique, delicious and a great place to spend some time. For food we had the nachos with grilled chicken. The chicken was Smokey from the grill and the nachos were just great. A heads up, this is a bunch of food. A bunch! We all also had tacos. You get 3 for 1 price and they are all deliciously different. I had the Ancho, the (blackened fish) Pescado and the Camarone (shrimp) tacos. Each had their own flavors and they were great! Loved them! It gets a big recommend from me! read more

Stopped in for lunch with the family on a weekend trip to Tampa. It is a cool spot and got busy quick. Very loud which is always a plus with kids and our waiter was patient with their indecisiveness while ordering. The chips and salsa were good, though a bit watery for my preference. My tacos were filling, but missed the mark on flavor and I would try something else next time or not get three. read more

Green Lemon - Cinco de Mayo - Mexican Near Me - Tampa, Florida

This use to be one of my favorite spots to grab a margarita and some tacos. I tried going on a Friday evening and it was a 3 hour wait. It also looks like they're turning into a straight up bar for the college kids in the area. Most restaurants are implementing a timeframe of how long you have your table for and GL should do the same since most of the people were standing around taking up unnecessary space. Hopefully they aren't this packed the next time I return. read more

The food was excellent, really cool vibes inside, and definitely a place I would return to try again. I had the chicken and brussels rice bowl and it was delicious. They have several types of rice to choose from and a wide selection of other items on their menu. Definitely want to try the tacos next time. read more

We have eaten here numerous times already. It was wonderful. But two MAJOR issues this past time - all circling around a lack of good management. 1) A member of our party is a recovering addict and has NEVER requested even a virgin drink in over 40 years - until yesterday, wanting to celebrate Father's Day. He was given an alcoholic drink!!!! Trent, the manager, denied it, but my BIL's wife also had the same drink and both got a buzz. 2) Like that wasn't enough, my wife, who gets deathly ill from gluten, was served GLUTEN! She is in bed as we speak, hasn't eaten, full-on migraine, and may be needing to go to the ER. Our server stated severe gluten allergy, but they still brought out a gluten quesadilla. Flour tortilla, but corn. When we asked the person bringing the food, she nastily said, " YES. It's gluten-free!" WRONG. Our server confirmed it, but yet again Trent denied it. 3) Trent blamed it on our server, who we have had multiple times and ALWAYS takes great care of us. This is how you treat your employees? By throwing them under the bus? 4) Suggested solutions? Trent GONE. Then train your back room staff, and your food runners the importance of getting orders correctly! That is basic expectations when eating at ANY restaurant! We will NOT be returning, and that's sad. But our health is more important!!! UGH. 5) Management please don't respond - it means nothing until you make the necessary IMPORTANT changes - see "suggested solutions". read more

Found this place by accident while waiting to eat at the restaurant next-door. The other restaurant I had over an hour wait and we were able to walk in with our party of six.

Everyone else in our party was really happy with their food and drinks as well. Service was good as well. read more

I love it here. And for so many reasons. A good friend recommended Green Lemon and I've visited on three separate occasions in a matter of two weeks. Judge me. The parking lot is a bit small. Especially since they get pretty busy on the weekends with a dj spinning. If you keep an eye out for the bar or high tops area, those are first come first serve and an easy snag. I recommend starting off with a round of margs and chips and queso. In true Tex mex fashion. Their margs are dangerous in all the right ways. The Bradley Buster with steak is the real reason I keep coming back. The steak is cooked to perfection every single time making it juicy and tender in all the right places. Maybe I'll try the rest of the menu but I've got a pretty good thing going on here so idk. Hats off to the hardworking staff for reassuring we were well taken care of and providing fan favorite recommendations. Which is always appreciated. I will absolutely be back. read more

Highly recommend their soho signature marg. So delicious!! read more

Definitely understand the hype! We have tried to come here before but the wait is usually an hour or more. Sadly the one negative is that they do not take reservations so it's first come first serve. Going on a Monday was helpful in making sure there wasn't an insane wait. We started by ordering the trio duo appetizer which I didn't even get a photo off because we finished it as soon as it you had the table! The queso dip was amazing!! We ordered for drink Sangritas which were a 15/10 it is a mix of sangria with margarita and it was one of my favorite drinks in Tampa yet! Again I couldn't take a photo because we chugged it! The food was delicious the bowls are definitely a hard recommendations: the carnitas and ropa vieja bowls. The ambience was very sports bar with TVS everywhere and bar like decor. We enjoyed our time! read more

In planning our dinning experience in Tampa, Green Lemon was a haunt we could not wait to try. At lunch, Green Lemon was packed with all types of patrons: girlfriends, business lunchers, service workers and families. The vibe here is positive, engaging, light and very happy. We hated to leave when we finished as the wait staff made you feel like each one were part owners of the establishment. Our waitress, Maddie asked how we found Green Lemon and suggested other areas of town to wander around to enjoy our visit to Tampa. Every business owner would love to have an employee like Mattie. We ordered the asada taco, korean fried chicken taco, gigante "buffalo chicken" taco and plantains. The KFC taco had corn salsa, queso fresco, cilantro and a grilled jalapeno ranch dressings. It was incredibly moist and packed with great flavor. The carne asada taco had delicious grilled meat to perfection, salsa fresca, crisp cabbage and avocado verde salsa. The gigante chicken was a grand slam and perhaps the best taco I've ever had. The chicken was grilled with spicy buffalo avocado glaze. It included crispy onions, blue cheese crumbles, pickled jalapenos and a lime Caesar dressing. It is not a normal combination of ingredients, but it works really well. THIS IS A MUST ORDER. The plantains were sweet and delicious also. If you are in Tampa, GREEN LEMON is a must try. Don't miss the gigante chicken taco. Ask for Mattie and enjoy a perfect meal and service. GREAT FOOD, SERVICE AND HIGH POSITIVE VIBE! read more

Me and my friends wanted to hang out and we went to Green Lemon to try it out. The environment and music was a vibe, so we put our names in the waitlist and stepped away. While waiting we realized that people with the same size party as us who arrived after us (and also had no reservations) were being assigned a table that we were informed we would get as soon as it opened up. We had to sit at the bar and it took us 3 hours to get a table, being the lasts to do so. Despite that, the service was nice, and the drinks were delicious. The margarita was amazing! The meat in my Americano taco didn't taste good, it tasted like boiled meat with no flavor, but the rest was delicious! Definitely a spot to hang out with friends, have fun and get a couple drinks read more

Yummy! Good prices and large portions. They also had a happy hour menu for nachos and 3 tacos. I ordered this on top of our bowls and dip sampler. So large I couldn't even eat most of my food! The queso was awesome. Service was good; went early with friends in the area who said there are long waits. This was great for finding gluten free. They also had chicken and rice for my kid with tons of allergies. read more
