El Limino is not off the beaten path for me and the wifey poo….its just up the street! The owners are about the nicest people you can meet. They mix a mean margharita as well!

Thanks for the reminder! We love El Limeno, but have been trying to not eat out so much. But I do want to support them and will be returning soon.

As for veggie options, it’s true there isn’t much on the menu, but when we asked about it the owner was super nice in offering work with us to make some off-menu vegetarian options.

everytime i’ve been there its been pretty empty. but no matter food is always tasty and quick. service is good too. hate to see them so slow. hopefully busines will find them and they’ll stay around for a long time. i may have to go soon to get a meal.

This CH’er went looking for the Lemon a while ago (based on discussion here and on Petworth News). I did find it, although it wasn’t easy (I didn’t have the address with me and wasn’t familiar with Upshur), and it was not particularly inviting from the outside. Once inside, however, I was surprised by how nice it was and then by how amazing the fajitas were! I was the only person in there at the time and hoped it would be able to stay open.

Nice to know I can get carryout. I’ve told many others I’ve found the best fajitas I’ve had in years.

Princess – we tried the new menu at Looking Glass the other day. Nice space, actually, much improved (except for the loss of the pool table), but the service was bad (friendly, but incompetent), and the food was not good. Not bad food, just not good food.

Matt – years and years ago, I tended bar in Mt Pleasant. We had a fair number of regulars who lived at the Old Soldiers’ Home. Out the door and onto the H8 bus, and there they were!

do the folks from the armed forces home ever wander out the gate to this place or the hitching post?

Seems that they might like to go for some non-institutional food once in a while.
