This week at Limelight, we’re bringing a little bit of everything to the table.

Start with a warm bowl of Chicken Noodle Soup, or go straight for the Carnitas Tostadas — crispy tortillas loaded with refried beans, carnitas, cabbage, cotija and sour cream.

For the main event, our Pork Shanks are crispy, glazed with sweet chili and served with jasmine rice and grilled vegetables. Going meatless? The Caprese Sliders bring roasted tomatoes, fresh mozzarella, basil and pesto on toasted brioche.

And Friday, you know the deal: Sierra Nevada Beer-Battered Fish & Chips.

Weekly specials available Monday–Friday 11AM–10PM and Saturday–Sunday 3PM–10PM.
