The Salted Lime

The Salted Lime is what you get when someone decides to do Mexican food and margaritas without the corporate playbook. This is North Las Vegas bringing the flavor with daily happy hour, aggressive drink pricing, and food that doesn't taste like it came from a Sysco catalog.

The Daily Happy Hour Deal

Every single day from 5-7pm, The Salted Lime runs one of the best happy hour values in town: $3 wine and $4 drinks. Read that again—$3 wine. Not house wine from a box, but actual drinkable wine. The $4 drinks cover your standard cocktails, which means margaritas, palomas, tequila sodas, and whatever else you're feeling. That's a 2-hour window seven days a week, which is basically unheard of for these prices.

What $3 Wine and $4 Drinks Actually Mean

Let's do the math: two glasses of wine during happy hour costs you $6. Two margaritas? $8. That's less than a single cocktail on the Strip, and you're getting two. The Salted Lime isn't skimping on the pours either—these are proper drinks, not those bullshit "bar pours" that are mostly ice and mixer. If you're trying to get a solid buzz without taking out a loan, this is the spot.

The Food Situation

The Salted Lime menu runs the full Mexican spectrum—tacos, enchiladas, fajitas, quesadillas, and all the classics you'd expect. The portions are generous, the flavors are on point, and nothing costs stupid money. The chips and salsa are fresh, the guac is made to order, and the proteins (carne asada, carnitas, grilled chicken) are seasoned properly. This is comfort food that pairs perfectly with $4 margaritas.

The Vibe

This is a neighborhood Mexican spot with a full bar and a crowd that's here to unwind. Families doing early dinners, construction crews knocking back beers, friends catching up over chips and margs. The space is colorful and casual—think murals, bright paint, and booths that can fit a group. It's loud in the best way, with music and conversation filling the room. Nobody's checking your outfit or judging your drink order.

The North Vegas Pricing Advantage

Here's the thing: The Salted Lime could be anywhere in Vegas and still do well with this food. But because it's in North Las Vegas, they can offer $3 wine and $4 drinks every goddamn day without going broke. That location advantage is your advantage—better deals, easier parking, and no tourist markup. The regulars know this, which is why the happy hour gets busy.

Bottom Line

When you want Mexican food, strong margaritas, and pricing that reminds you Vegas used to be affordable, The Salted Lime delivers. The daily 5-7pm happy hour with $3 wine and $4 drinks is legitimately one of the best deals in town, and the food backs it up.
