Limón con Chile #2 is a bright, all‑day Mexican café tucked into the northeast side of Midland that feels as welcoming as its name suggests. From the moment the doors open at 8 AM, the air fills with the scent of fresh‑made tortillas and sizzling meats, and the friendly staff invite you to kick off your day with a pocket‑friendly breakfast burrito—beans & cheese for just $4.50 or loaded “papas a la Mexicana” for $5.50. If you’ve got a sweeter tooth, their waffles and pancakes plates ($8.50) arrive piled high with fresh berries, whipped cream, powder sugar and syrup, making for a colorful counterpoint to the savory specials.

Come mid‑morning, the menu blossoms: huevos rancheros ($13), chilaquiles in red or green sauce ($11), and a hearty L & C omelette ($12.50) bursting with bell peppers, jalapeños, chorizo and cheese all come served with beans and potatoes. For those who like to build their own, a la carte add‑ons—extra eggs, meats like carne asada or birria ($5.50 each), or even a cup of fresh‑pressed corn tortillas ($1.50)—make it easy to customize every plate. And don’t miss the Molletes ($8.50), crisp bolillo halves loaded with beans, Oaxaca cheese and pico de gallo, or the spicy carne asada fries ($10.50) for a late‑morning pick‑me‑up.

When lunchtime rolls around—up to 3 PM daily—Limón con Chile #2 shifts into full flavor mode. Enchiladas come in chicken, beef or cheese (starting at $11.50), while fajitas (chicken $12.50, beef $15.50, shrimp $14.50) sizzle at the table with peppers, onions and your choice of tortillas. The “Los Favoritos de Limón” section introduces house specialties like ham‑and‑jalapeño‑cream‑cheese–stuffed chicken breast ($17) or tricolor pollo topped with guajillo‑poblano sauce over linguine ($14.50)—a playful nod to fusion. Seafood lovers can splurge on camarones al chipotle or enfrijoladas draped in mole, each plate artfully garnished and served with rice and beans.

Rounding out the feast, the kitchen stocks an impressive small‑plates lineup—queso fundido with chorizo ($9.50), chicharrones with avocado‑árbol salsas ($8), and a rotating sopa Azteca or pozole on weekends—plus a desserts section where you’ll find everything from French bolillo with berries and butterscotch ($9) to house‑made choco‑flan ($7). Pair it all with a fresh agua fresca—strawberry‑lime & chia, melon, or dragonfruit ($7.50)—or a café de olla ($4.50), and you’ve got a midday haven that celebrates the bold, vibrant flavors of Mexico without breaking the bank.
