Limesalt by Wonder in Lenox Hill is a modern fast-casual spot where build-your-own burritos, bowls, and quesadillas are the core of the menu. Diners mix proteins like brisket, chicken, or tofu with rice, beans, salsas, and toppings for a burrito experience that feels closer to a customizable bowl wrapped in a tortilla than a classic taqueria. The setup leans toward delivery and takeout, but it’s one of the most focused burrito options within 10065.
