Great food as always here! We came in around 5:45 pm and they were busy! Ordering was easy because we used the self order terminal, unfortunately it did take a while to get our food since they were so busy, and they made the food for the bar side as well. The workers were nice as always, and even apologized for how long the food took. It was worth it though! 4-star reason was because outside of the bar side, there were people smoking and it was right by the door, blowing directly into the restaurant side :( read more

Awesome Street tacos! I highly recommend the Bang Bang Shrimp tacos. My daughter LOVES their chicken quesadilla. I got the Chili Lime Steak from the food truck this time. We always try to stop in when the truck is close to our house but sometimes we'll stop in the restaurant for a late-afternoon Saturday bite. Service is always great. read more

Chili Lime Cantina - Chili Lime Steak Taco - Tacos Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

Chili Lime is a small little strip mall destination that could definitely use a bit more heat in the winter - it was very cold inside. Staff is friendly, but it's solely counter service although they make the tacos fresh. This is a 3.5-star review (slightly above average but not quite enough there for me to go to a 4-star). The tacos were mixed. I literally loved the Chili Lime Taco, the Diablo Pork was solid, but the Greek and Fish Tacos were subpar. There are plenty more options to try and id be back to experiment for sure, but the Chili Lime would be a must and highly recommended. read more

Chili Lime Cantina - Fish Taco / Diablo Pork Taco - Tacos Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

American food in taco shapes. A safe option for those not feeling overly adventurous. This is not your regular taco joint. I would actually stay clear of the classics like carnitas or al pastor here. Typically the less traditional, the better here. Their bang bang tacos are a crowd favorite and they make a solid steak quesadilla. In lieu of more traditional Mexican salsas they have sauces you'd see at a bar & grill that are fun to try on their burritos. Chili Lime takes up two separate stalls in the building that are connected by a door within. On the right you have the food counter and tables to dine at, on the left there is a bar. You can order food while drinking at the bar, but if it's busy it's usually faster to go to the other side and order. I've never had an order take more than 10 minutes. They have a lot of regulars in the bar side which makes for a fun atmosphere, but sometimes it can be difficult to get the bartenders' attention. read more

Love the bang bang shrimp tacos! Just the right amount of spice, crunch, and amazing flavor! They have a self service order station which seems to work quickly and efficiently but employees are available to help if needed. Only thing I would say that could improve the experience would be to turning the AC unit to cooler because it's always really warm and humid in there. read more

How do I love thee Chili Lime? Let me count the ways: One - Our group of three found you curbside at Forgotten Star Brewing slinging your goods. Love that you were available to feed our hungry tummies right when and where we needed you. Two - You gave us the ability to mix and match tacos. Allowing my variety-loving self to sample three different types! Yay! I chose the bang bang shrimp, diablo pork, and chili lime steak. More about those next. Three - You offer up some damn tasty tacos and tots! We ordered a total of nine tacos and enjoyed every single one. The bang bang shrimp was hands-down our favorite though. While you were out of a few things, you have delicious offerings that make me want even more! Four - Churros. Let me tell you how much I love churros. Cause it's a lot. Plus, these bad boys are full of a delicious caramel filling. Legit, the best way to top off our fantastic meal. I really only have two desires that you don't fulfill. The first being that you don't have a very active social media presence or website; making it difficult for me to stalk you when I'm in town. The second is that I live in Colorado, so I can't nosh on your tacos and churros more often! That being said, I know I will be back when I'm in town to get more bang bang shrimp and churros. Until we meet again, Chili Lime... read more

Chili Lime Cantina - Al pastor tacos - Tacos Near Me - Champlin, Minnesota

Service was not great. We had off the clock employees running our food while the bar tender was talking to their friends. Food overall was not great and I would rather go to Mrs taco on Andover. read more

We were in the area and wanted to grab a quick lunch before finishing our errands and regretted giving this place a try. The management of this facility obviously does not exist. The employees seemed depressed and did the bare minimum of service. It was our first time and by the time we ordered we had to wait a little which was totally fine but while walking to get our drinks you could see so much crap on the floor and the bathroom was disgusting. Our food was about a 2/5 as well. We have had better in other places and our stomachs are queasy afterwards. We walked back in to toss our trash and the employees were sitting on the counter on their phones and didn't say anything to us. Obviously no one really cares here so don't waste your time. read more

I used to like this place when I first started going to Chili Lime but the last couple times I've gotten food to go some of the meat has been unchewable. It's been 2 separate times once with steak and once with pork on the nachos and tacos. It's like gristle. read more

I had the steak burrito with the habanero sauce. It was AMAZING!! I had a churro as well that was really good. A coworker went and picked up a emailed order and it was ready when he got there with no wait. I will definitely be back. read more

Good little bar on one side and what appears to be a take out on the other. The tacos that I had were great, tots were good and everything was reasonable. Looks like a place for some regulars to hang out so seating can be limited and people do stay a while. I would for sure go back again. read more

I have mixed feelings about Chili Lime - I'm averaging everything out to 3 stars. GOOD: 1. TASTE: First -- foremost and most importantly -- the food tasted great! I had a steak burrito with "chipotle pineapple habanero" sauce. I also had tots with "saucy" flavor. The flavors were awesome. 2. PORTIONS: The portions were large. I'm a big dude, I was very hungry, and I left completely satisfied by the amount of food. BAD: 1. POOR BEEF QUALITY: My steak was so tough, it felt like I was chewing on rubber bands! If you're gonna buy cheap beef, you have to do what the Mexican restaurants do...pound the hell out of it with a meat tenderizer hammer so it's nice & soft and not like a rubber bicycle tire. 2. PRICE: It was kind of expensive when compared to comparable places with comparable quantities of food and similar setups. 3. CLEANLINESS: The restaurant itself was somewhat in disarray and in need of a good cleaning. The window sills were gross with lots of old food and insects. The back (by the soda machine) looked like a storage room with boxes, plastic bags, stacks of soda, etcetera. And in front, 2 giant soda coolers - one COMPLETELY empty - and a big empty cardboard box on the floor, between the cooler and the front counter. Come on! A little attention to detail, someone? 4. LAYOUT: Layout needs fine tuning. There should be a trash/empty tray receptacle by the front door. There were 3 big ones in the far back, in the dark, by the soda dispenser. So everyone has to walk in back to bus their stuff when they leave. Also, get rid of the ugly empty soda cooler by the front counter; it blocks your cool giant skull mural. 5. WEEKEND STAFF: The young dudes behind behind the counter were pretty unprofessional, they looked like they were up to something, seemed like ordering food was a big inconvenience for them, and acted like they couldn't wait to go home. I think there should have been at least one adult over 30 years old on the premises, holding down the fort and keeping a lid on things. I get the impression that these guys are better at running a food truck than a brick & mortar location. Probably won't be back. -Daddy Maxx Retro read more

It was okay. It was not remotely authentic tasting the prices were not bad in the fact it's kind of the going rates. But the portions are small. Chipotle's burrito bowl would make at least 2 if not three 3 of what I was given. My wife got the Walleye it too was just okay and the large chips and queso was a joke, it had a few chips and two very small sides of canned type nacho cheese. I was probably just a little too hopeful from other reviews. read more

So happy for a new option in the Champlin area. My husband and I stopped in today while running errands and we were happy with the restaurant, the service and the food. The store is easy to access and parking was simple. The store is clean and the restroom is too. We asked for suggestions on what to try and ended up with street tacos, loaded tots and quesadillas. The street tacos were tasty and I think my new favorite is the Moroccan followed closely by the Greek. The loaded tots were the steak version and very good. Quesadillas were also steak and had excellent flavor. The red (hint of pineapple) and green sauces were fresh and tasty. If you have the opportunity to chat with the owner and staff you'll find them friendly and learn about how they got to where they are today. I always enjoy getting to know the people behind the business. read more

Great authentic tacos! My family and I were looking for a quick family stop. We did not expect to enjoy the tacos so much. We had Al pastor, carnitas and the bang bang shrimp. My little ones enjoyed the quesadillas. The employees were also very nice! read more

Amazing! We wanted to try something new and I'm glad we were able to support a local business! The loaded tots were cooked perfectly, not oily and the sauce is the bang bang sauce from the bang bang shrimp tacos which we also tried. Highly recommend the bang bang shrimp tacos super delicious! We also tried a chicken and tzatziki sauce bowl fresh and well seasoned. The Bavarian cream churro was amazing, overall this was a super satisfying place to eat and highly recommend stopping by if you're looking to try a local taco spot! The staff/owners are great super nice and have us good recommendations! read more

So delicious! We found the delivery to be great, pick up is nice to have food the best temp but in a pinch delivery has been smooth. My husband usually gets the burrito and likes the curried rice inside. I go for the tacos, depending on how hungry you are two or three is plenty. read more

I can't get enough of this place! I am obsessed with the sweet and spicy pork tacos. A bunch of young adults work there and they really do a nice job. It's one of my favorite local places to get take out on Sundays when I don't want to cook. Yum yum so good! read more

Meh. It's almost like a chipotle where everything is in buckets. I ordered online for a pick-up, and right away got a message that it was ready. I go home on my break to let my dog out so I'm super short on time and expected it to be ready when I got there. It was not, and the manager/owner assured me it was so that the food would be hot when I picked up. Well I drove 10 minutes back to work and it was cold. I ordered the al pastor bowl and it tasted nothing like al pastor. It was so bland that I needed to add the chipotle pineapple sauce (which had a good kick), and the meat was almost minced. I also watched as the worker put beans in my bowl when I had asked for no beans, and when he realized his mistake, he proceeded to scoop it out of my already made bowl, and dump it back into the bucket with the beans... Also the rice was overcooked as it was pretty mushy. Overall, it's alright. I would maaaybe come back to try other proteins, but I might just stick with Fiesta Cancun where there is always flavor in everything. read more

Nice sized portions. Super tasty! I will be coming back. Yum! I had the chili lime steak taco. My wife had chili lime chicken tacos with guac. She said the guac was awesome and we both liked her tacos. I also ordered a Bavarian cream churro. It was delicious. I haven't had many churros before, and I don't eat sugar very much, so my churro experience is low. There is a little pond across the street with a pier and some benches if you are so inclined. Come, eat and enjoy! read more

This place would be really great if the service improved. The staff was super impersonal and the food was okay. Super disappointed in this brick and mortar spot.... read more

My husband and I were excited to have this great street tacos place open a brick and mortar right here in our community! This was their opening night. There was a lag in their service, but we expected this and were happy to hang out for opening day. We ordered the steak tacos the Chili Lime and the Chipotle. They both tasted very fresh and were great flavor combinations. The chipotle was outstanding in flavors and had a spoonful of guacamole. The menu calls them "steak" tacos, but the beef is ground into a hamburger texture. This surprised me. It was good, just not the texture I expected for "steak." We also ordered the Seasoned Tots and the Saucy Tots. They were perfectly fried up. The Seasoned Tots were perfectly seasoned. The Saucy Tots were also covered with a reasonable amount of sauce (no drowning and a little touched each tot). In the excitement of ordering we forgot to order a beverage. We were sad that we didn't see the option to combo and it wasn't offered to us. I'm chalking this up to first day craziness. I wish the best to this new business and I will definitely have to return to explore the menu. read more

An american take on street tacos-nice to have another option to eat at in Champlin especially a small business. I really enjoyed the bang bang shrimp and the tots. If I can say one thing please hold off on the sour cream. If you want authentic street tacos you will have to drive to Lake Street in Mols. But we will definitely be back to eat here again. read more

Good tacos! Great flavors, everything tasted fresh, and the corn tortillas were well put together. BUT the restaurant is very wasteful.

I'll request it next time too. Overall good service and good food. read more

If you're looking for tacos even slightly authentic, this isn't it. The tacos were some of the greasiest (in a bad way) I've ever had. The aioli was way too over powering but needed to cover up lack of flavor. The meat quality wasn't good. Service at the food truck was quick. Hence the 2 star read more

Overall, a disappointing experience. Lots of positive reviews on Facebook, so we decided to try it early one weeknight. As they just opened about a week ago, there was a lot of confusion with the ordering process and understanding the menu. They were out of fish, so I ordered a pork burrito bowl, my daughter had a steak taco, and we split some tots. The burrito bowl was pretty small, and the pork was ground meat, rather than shredded. My daughter didn't like the steak, and when I tried it, I could tell why - the meat was tough and grizzly. The tots were ok, but they were just standard tots with some sauce on top. We ended up at Arby's. I truly wanted to enjoy a new restaurant in the local area, but this was a swing and a miss. Maybe they will improve with time. read more

This was my first time at Chili Lime and I didn't know what to expect. It has a very different flavor than what I would normally get at chipotle. It really was tasty! You can tell they used very fresh ingredients. It really hit the spot! I highly recommend it and will be back again. It also makes me feel good to support a locally owned and business. read more

I tried this place the other day and ordered out. We ordered loaded tots with steak, steak burrito, bang bang shrimp, moroccan, greek and philly cheese steak tacos. High points are that is was friendly, quick service. Order on phone to pick up was 15 mins. The street tacos are diverse and fun to read through as you make your decision on the menu. I loved the Moroccan chicken street taco, super flavorful and would definitely come back for that! Tots were cooked perfect, crisp and held up nice under "loaded tots". The corn tortillas were tender and tasty. Room for improvement, though the tacos were diverse, maybe just a bit over stretched. Could have dwindled down and improve quality of menu items. The portion of meat was nice, but each taco is quite limited with toppings. The steak was chewy and not tender at all, poor quality. The cheese steak taco had the right flavor, but the steak was off putting and was SO rich. Everything has cilantro (though usually a small sprinkling). I don't mind, but the person I ordered with had to hold it on each item. He ordered a burrito and had to hold the pico, then he's stuck without tomato on a burrito that really needed it. He wasn't impressed with the steak as well. Each taco came with a wedge of lime, but looked as they were cut few days ago since there was browning and yellowing on the edges. I would try again if in the area, but probably wouldn't go out of my way to order again. read more

Good authentic street tacos and prices are really affordable. I would choose this over any fast food place.

It's a shame that opening the bar is an acceptable explanation for lack of customer service on the street taco side of Chili Lime in Champlin. We have eaten there almost every week since Chili Lime opened. The flavors are amazing. However the last 3 times we've ordered, different people were behind the counter, and simple requests such as "no onions" were completely ignored. The third time I called rather than order online so they could get it right. They informed me they were too busy to take phone orders, and the website had been fixed. I explained the problem I had been having and was assured it would work to order online. It didn't. Three strikes and you're out. We'll be back when all customers matter. read more

Been here a few times now and it's always been awesome! My favorite is the chicken Greek taco, their tatziki is amazing! Both regular and saucy tots are delicious too! Meat quality is fantastic, never any chewy pieces and they surely don't skimp. Portions are great and prices are very good. Recently had an ubereats issue (ubers fault) so I just went and picked up the food. Staff were super awesome about it and really friendly! Ditch crappy fast food tacos and burritos and head here instead, you will not be disappointed! read more

I couldn't eat it. Ordered steak tacos and seasoned tots. That's almost 20$ for a meal. The tots were not seasoned with anything else than salt and way too much of it. The tacos were mainly soggy pico de gallo, 4tbsp of a mayo/ketchup sauce, and GROUND BEEF absolutely drenched in oil. The cilantro was fresh. Worst tacos I've ever had on account of me never not finishing an order of tacos. Oh and the saucy tot tacos are sweet. Like candy sweet. With the same ketchup mayo sauce. Revolting. read more

I went to Chili Lime for the first time yesterday. I had heard it had great food. I ordered a rice bowl and it did not disappoint. It was better than Chipotle. However, while eating, I noticed how dirty the floor was, like it hadn't been mopped for awhile. Then I used the bathroom and it was disgusting. One corner seemed to be where they sweep the dirt to and just leave it. The floor couldn't have been mopped for a LONG time not to mention the sink or toilet. Then I looked at the kitchen when walKing back to my table and all I could think was , "If the eating area and bathroom are this dirty, pretty sure the kitchen area isn't probably cleaned very well either! Come on Chili Lime, you can do better!! A restaurant is more than just the food. I would have given it a 4 for food but with the appearance, I rate you a 2. read more

In the Champlin area not a whole lot of options for really good tasting taco or burrito places, except for this place. I am definitely a fan of their street tacos. What I like about them that they make a good snack, or even a mini meal. Of course not only are they affordable like for $2 or $3, but they really taste so good. Not only the steak, but the beef ones are good too. I can't wait to go back, even if just for take-out. read more
