I was so happy to finally try Limericks Tavern – DTLA. I’ve been to the other three (Upland, Chino Hills & Alhambra) but i’ve really wanted to check this one out for some time. Food from the new menu is so good! This location has a great little patio with a patio bar, a dark middle section, nice big window seating area with a small stage and a den looking area. There’s lot of TVs all around so perfect for catching the game. Food and drink are really good here. Much better for the price than you will find in the area. The chef really did a great job with the new menu adding his own touches that really pleased our table of seasoned reviewers. There area lot of parking garages and lots nearby and it’s a really easy location to access. Check out my quick review and behind the scenes from our most recent foodie meetup.

Lets take a better look at the menu items shall we? One thing I like about all the Limericks is that they change up the menu every season and they give their chefs the freedom to put their influence into the creation of the final product. You can go to any location and get a great meal but it will be just a little different from the other location. The chef at the Downtown Los Angeles location really did a great job with this menu and took time to talk to us throughout the serving and give us all the info on each dish.

First up is the chef’s favorite. The spicy chicken sliders. Much like it’s bigger menu mate the Spicy Chicken Sandwich, just smaller and served on Hawaiian rolls. It’s the sweetens of the rolls that make this his favorite. It’s a great slider and actually quite big for a slider.

This was probably the favorite dish of all the foodies. The Steak or Chicken Skillets are a Taiwanese style skillet served with pasta and a fried egg. The combination is excellent and the meat is prepared so well. The steak gets a 2 day marinade in Papaya juice and other ingredient and the chicken gets a one day marinade. It took the chef a while to research how to create this dish and a lot of experimentation but let me tell you, he has created something really special.  This is a dish to be proud of.

Now here was my favorite, The spicy chicken sandwich. Every since this whole Popeyes Chickens Sandwich craze, i’ve been in a chicken sandwich mood. This right here has to be one of the best spicy chicken sandwiches around. Hand breaded and cooked by a chef who’s really created something that packs a lot of flavor and quality you can taste.

It wouldn’t be a tavern if it didn’t have drinks. Limericks actually brews it’s own beer! The beer is quite good and since they brew it themselves it’s cheaper than some of the other local brews and ten times better than anything mass produced by the big commercial breweries. They also have some really great signature cocktails that always hit the spot!
