In fact, he still calls on his mother for the secrets of traditional Mexican dishes, which he reinvents in innovative and surprising ways. At Limones, Hugo’s love of Mexican food is combined with his training in french-influenced California cuisine.

Have been to brunch twice and Thanksgiving dinner tonight. Service so warm and accommodating. Turducken pasta was superb and a fun play on words. Pork chops fabulous and trout well prepared and enormous. We got side of a vegetable gratin that was so smooth and velvety. I will get more pasta next time! Tiramisu yummy.. mocktails were yummy too.

I believe we've just found our new Thanksgiving "tradition". I can't say enough about the service, food, and ambiance. The experience exceeded our expectations. Lauren and all the support staff made us feel like we were their only guests. And the food! So so delicious. We had meat eaters and vegetarians in our group, and both were equally pleased. Each course just kept getting better. We all walked out completely stuffed (as it should be for Thanksgiving) with leftovers in hand. Thank you, and we'll see you again!

This restaurant blew our expectations away. Menu choices are appropriately limited, and the food is exceptional. I mean....WOW level of exceptional. The service couldn't have been better. Very responsive and attentive. The restaurant is inside what was an old Biltmore Estate horse barn. Such a great experience. Honestly, the best restaurant we've been to in Asheville.
