We got the chicken and waffles sandwich, the Mac and cheese sandwich, and the s'mores and every single thing was just so good.” - Yelp Review

“I loved this place. You are paying for the experience and service (which was stellar for my group). Very beautiful ambiance and decor. It's hard to decide on a drink because they have so many to pick from. The drinks were very good and realistically it's actually not as much as it seems like it would be. It's mainly because of the big chunk of ice in the glass that makes it seem like the drink is bigger than it actually is.” - Yelp Review

“Such a cute cafe! My friends and I came in for brunch on a Sunday and got seated quickly. People around us were eating and there was a table working, so it looks like they accommodate anyone who stops in. The food and coffee were great. I got an aero press and brekkie sanga. They did a good job of accommodating me being gluten free, even though they didn't have GF specific options, I could add hash browns if I took out bread.” - Yelp Review

Lime Fresh Mexican Grill offers a fresh selection of savory Mexican dishes. All menu items are made with local ingredients, and the salsas are made from scratch daily. While it is a small chain, that doesn’t mean it doesn’t whip up some delicious Mexican food. Tacos, burritos, bowls, fajitas, and more are served at this popular family restaurant. A kids menu filled with kid-sized tacos, burritos, and quesadillas are also available for the little ones.
“I'm a fan of their fish tacos with an ice cold Corona alongside it. It's a must to ask for sour cream on the side at the register instead of after receiving your order. I love the sauce station because I like adding l black bean corn salsa and plenty of lime to my salsa and tacos. The prices are super cheap and they serve pretty generous portions of their chips too which makes it all worthwhile.” - Yelp Review
