A floating taco bar. In the islands. How could you go wrong? I was worried that this would be a tourist trap (it used to be in another location where you could paddle, swim or kayak there). Now located in Coral Bay and you must hire a cruise expedition, local expedition or take a shuttle to get there. We chose Coral Harbor Shuttle (aka Captain Johnnycakes) because it was closest to the original experience. He has been in St John for 30 years! Just find the firehouse, turn right and park in gravel lot. The captain will pick you up, drop you as close to a pad as possible and when you want pickup just call or let the server know (no time limit like Salt&Lime ferry!) OK - LimeOut itself was busy but had delicious tacos and drinks. The servers are smart, efficient and fun. We got the short rib and ceviche tacos. The best drink was the Hunter's Passion (to my surprise! Super island-ly delicious). Bring a dry bag or wallet- just need to hold keys, credit card and waterproof phone protector. Would go again! read more

So fun! Absolute must do! Tacos were so delicious and it's such a unique experience eating while floating in the water.

What an amazing day! In order to get to line out you need to charter a boat to pick you up. This shouldn't be an issue. We were dropped off and had to swim over to the rafts. You can either choose a raft or you can sit in the swim up bar. Both seemed equally fun. They pass a menu over to you in a floatation thing and then you send it back and order. Your drinks and food are served the same way. Most of the charters are paid for 1.5 -2 hours. So pay attention to the time. This is typically enough for 2 drinks each and food. We chose two tacos each which was plenty. The shrimp tacos were by far the winner from our group. The cauliflower came in close second. This trip is a must if you visit the island. We loved it. Was it a bit overpriced? Well of course it was. But you're paying for the experience! Make sure you bring a water proof case for your camera. Mine fell in and one of our friends had to dive in after it! If you have a water proof bag you may want to bring that too. We had to swim back with our merch up in the air. That was not an easy swim. I definitely recommend this excursion! read more

We loved the tacos and it's a fun atmosphere, definitely unique. However, we did not appreciate that they are miscalculating their "suggested gratuities". We realized when we got home that $55.80 is NOT 20% of $257, it should be $51.40 - seems somewhat fraudulent, especially if it is happening all day, every day. read more

Lime Out - the miscalculated suggested gratuity - Mexican Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

I went for my graduation trip to the Virgin Islands and we saw that this floating restaurant was recommended. They sure were right! Every taco was amazing and it fills you up. It's also a super cute place with friendly workers too. I recommend the bbq tacos. Delicious. All of their drinks were good too!! We walked (swam out lol) spending well over $200 for all of us but we all said it was well worth the experience! read more

Lime Out VI is a one of a kind amazing floating taco bar located in the middle of Coral Bay by Saint John Island in the Virgin Islands. Lime Out VI Floating Taco Bar was one of our favorite parts of our trip sailing the Virgin Islands! The only way to get to Lime Out is by boat, paddle board, or kayak. The front of Lime Out's taco bar has a long wood built in table with 8 seats facing the bar that are underwater and keep you partially submerged and cool. Behind the bar's built in seating, there's 6 floating horse shoe shaped green tables that can hold up to 7 people each. Behind Lime Out there's a drive through for boats to pickup orders or to dock your boat. The Surf & Turf Taco came with short rib, blackened shrimp, feta cheese, local organic micro greens, radishes and guacamole. 10/10 The Ceviche Taco came with fresh catch Ceviche, pink grapefruit, orange segments, red onion, cilantro, Jalapeño peppers, chili garlic, passion fruit dressing, radishes, & Chipotle cole slaw. 9/10 The Fresh Tuna Taco came with chili garlic Marinated blackened Tuna, Pico De Gallo, guacamole, and chipotle cole slaw. 9/10 The Aksel Rosé drink comes with rosé, Moscato, orange liqueur, passion fruit pureé. 9/10 The Mudda Tucker drink comes with chocolate coquito, plenty of rum, kahlua, & amaretto. 10/10 The drinks were strong & very tasty. All of the drinks come in a Yeti style metal cup which keep your drinks surprisingly cool in the hot tropical weather and if you don't return it your credit card will be charged a $60 deposit. The tacos were pricey at $9 to $12 per taco but were very tasty. Lime out uses only fresh ingredients and the flavor combinations are delicious. It was entertaining watching a group of fish jump at anything that you dropped. Since I dropped a lot they were swarming our laps. If you don't have a boat, you can go to Hansen Beach & rent a kayak or paddle board for $30 for a 2 person kayak for 2 hours & paddle out. Lime Out VI Floating Taco Bar is closed on Mondays so make sure you don't go on a Monday. It does get busy, so get early! They open at 11:30! If you're on St John Island, I highly recommend visiting the Lime Out floating taco bar! It's definitely a one of a kind unforgettable experience that will be a highlight of everyone's trip! read more

We visited in April on a trip to USVI for my husband's 40th birthday. The tacos were delivered to our boat through our excursion company. We then swam out to the venue to have cocktails and hang out. The tacos were absolutely delicious! It was fun to swim out and hang on the lily pads. I wish the drinks were better. The merchandise is very expensive, and the servers don't really care about taking care of the patrons. They just want to hustle you in and out. It was fun, but once is enough. read more

Lime Out is THE BEST! We ventured out to this gem on the Salt + Lime pontoon shuttle (highly recommend!!!) and had some of the best drinks and tacos ever! It was pretty packed when we got there so we hung out on the floating bar for a bit and were greeted right away and got our drink order in. The staff was really great about making sure each group secured a lily pad as soon as one opened. Some favorite drinks were the Coco Colada, Hunter's Passion, and Flip's Grapefruit Marg. Favorite tacos were the shrimp, tuna, and rum rib. I seriously still dream about the shrimp taco. Don't let the prices scare you away, the Lime Out is worth every penny. read more

I mean it's a floating f***ing taco boat. You'd be fine if the food was just ok, but it's great! Everyone enjoyed the 5-6 types of tacos they had. Some lady mentioned a shell fish allergy in another party and Lime Out said it was fine... she died later but we missed that part. Anyhoo, these people did it right and you'd be stupid not to visit. Taking your camera or anything that might get wet is a risk, but I took pictures for you so just steal mine. Get a waterproof phone case and you'll be fine. Tacos are 11$ each and cash/card works. Enjoy! read more

Lime Out is a floating taco bar located in the middle of a bay in Saint John. The only way to get there is by boat, paddle board or kayak. We choose a kayak and after a smooth ride we pulled up and tied the kayak to a floating foam like large pad. There is no sitting or hanging out on the pad so you have to jump out and swim your way over to the front of the bar. The back of the bar is a drive through for boats. Seating is underwater and very limited. There are a couple of large floating couches but they were taken long before we arrived. Luckily we found a seat and quickly ordered our drinks. Their bar pours heavy and the drinks are tasty. All of the drinks come in a Yeti type cup and if you don't return it your credit card will be charged. Everybody relinquishes a credit card when you arrive and it is returned when you return the cups and pay. The tacos were pricey but amazing. The prices run from $7 to $10 each. The special is two tacos, two drinks and one hat for $70.00. When you add your cost for getting out to Lime Out it turns into an expensive afternoon. They use only fresh ingredients and the flavor combinations are delicious. My husband and I ordered three tacos each. The rum short rib taco was our favorite. I found it a problem sitting in the water and eating. The water pushed me around a bit and the tacos were sloppy to hold. It was extremely entertaining watching a group of fish jump at anything that you dropped. Since I dropped a lot they were swarming our laps. Next time I visit the island I will return to Lime Out but it will be with a better plan so that I can really enjoy the excellent food. read more

Literally the best floating bar that's ever existed. Shrimp tacos are the best! We were floating all day

Tasty taco, good service, excellent view of the sea. There are lots of options for all taco lovers but my fav was seared tuna, ceviche tuna and the surf and turf. read more

By far the coolest on the water taco experience! Make sure to get there when they open because they do get busy pretty quick! We did a all day boat day around the island and came to eat lunch here! The ceviche and shrimp tacos were excellent! The staff was awesome and the overall experience of eating on a floaty in the water was awesome! I loved swimming up to our "table" and just enjoying lunch in the water! This place is an absolute must try! read more

literally so glad we found this place. We rented a charter for the day and lime out was one place we just had to stop at! We actually ordered delivery to our boat so we didn't have to paddle board over and wait. The food was outstanding and it really was a great experience all around. read more

Lime Out - shrimp tacos, bottle of prosecco, and a short rib taco - Mexican Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

Who doesn't love clear blue waters, Sun shining, and TACOS! Lime Out is truly a once in a lifetime experience. Got a boat, kayak, paddleboard whatever you need to make your way out to enjoy the experience. Once out there the staff is very helpful with tieing up your boats, hop off and grab a seat along the boat where they have seats attached for sitting or ask for a floating seat. They had 2 large floating mats in the water aswell. Good for sitting, using it as a table, or the kids loved it for a slip and slide. The Tacos where delicious, a little greasy but the taste was amazing. Bring a cup, or borrow one of theres. They serve alcohol, fresh juices, and of Course Tacos read more

What a bummer - we weren't able to go here during Covid because they stopped the cheaper boat taxis and required people to rent boats for a few hours at a time. We did hear that you might be able to catch someone with a skiff willing to bring you out there. They don't allow kayaks or swimming which just means that unless you have an actual boat, you aren't getting service. It is usually very busy and there can be waits. I was just frustrated because if I rent a boat, I want to take it out of the harbor...not to a restaurant that I could swim to in my sleep. read more

Lime Out exceeded our expectations. I had read about this place in the Virgin Islands Cruising Guide, then researched it on Insta and You Tube. The tacos are hearty and filling (not small like street tacos). We tried the Green Curry, Shrimp, Rib and the Surf and Turf. The Rib and the Surf and Turf tacos were OUTSTANDING. Cool concept to put the cocktails in a metal tumbler to keep them icy cold. Credit card deposit required upon ordering but refunded when tumbler returned. Great experience, great people watching, great food, great drinks, great merch! Totally worth the effort of getting to Coral Bay to check it out. read more

Such a good time, you have to do it just once!!! Tacos are excellent. Drinks are awesome. Staff is amazing, you've got to do this when you come to St John.! read more

Tourist Trap!!!!! Do not waste your time, overpriced drinks and food for charter boats. Do not waste your time or money at Limeout.

Loved every single thing there is to love about Lime Out. We did an excursion with Cruz Bay Watersports. We arrived around 11:30 and lime out was very busy. We had to swim over #workout. Tacos were being delivered to our boat but I had to try a drink. I purchased a tumbler because time was limited and you have to put a deposit on the cup they provide. I got the coco colada and it was absolutely amazing! Taco wise... that surf and turf is !! I also had the rum rib which was good but not as tasty as the surf and turf. Wish I would have had more time to spend there. read more

I can't say enough about this floating taco bar! The tacos are INSANE!!! Highly recommend the shrimp and rum rib tacos! The drinks are excellent and highly enjoyed while floating on their rafts that are connected to Lime out. We got a private charter to take us here and it was a highlight of our trip. Honestly I could spend all day drinking their amazing cocktails and eating endless tacos! If your in the area you cannot leave without visiting Lime Out!!!! read more

Imagine sitting in the ocean listening to some tunes drinking fantastic cocktails. Schools of fish are swimming at your feet and you are eating some of the best tacos you have ever had and you have Lime Out. Further words are not needed. Go experience it! One thing to note- they will not serve you if you swim to it. You must go in a "vessel". This can be a paddle board or kayak. read more

Lime Out - Shrimp taco far and surf and turf taco close - Mexican Near Me - Saint John, Virgin Islands

Was so excited to show this place to my kids. They liked the swim over since our Catamaran was parked a little bit of a swim away. Only so many boats can park right attached to the bar/taco boat. The vegan taco was amazing probably my favorite taco.. family got to hangout on the floating pads they had. Also bought 2 shirts only downfall is that you have to swim back to your boat with the items you buy but they don't give you a waterproof bag or anything just the shirts. So had to swim with one hand in the air so the shirts didn't get wet and help my 3yr old swim back. read more

Such a cool place. Highly recommend. Fish taco delicious. Others had the short rib tacos and raves about them. I did order the new menu item - cauliflower taco - don't recommend. It was mush rather than pieces of cauliflower. I think the need to do pieces. Would be much better with the texture. read more

Great place to stop in USVI. Cool concept and great food! Be prepared to sit in the water and eat your food. The fish swimming around are cool too! read more

OMG. Brilliant business idea - taco boat! Are you kidding me? Why has no one else thought of this? Best meal we've had so far in the USVI and so fun! Swim up bar with floats or delivery to your boat. Go and get the t-shirt. Amazing. read more

A must do on STJ. Seriously. Rent a kayak or paddle board at Hansen or just a few hundred feet from Hansen is a new spot to rent kayaks and boards as well! Rentals are about $30 for a 2 person kayak for an hour and a half. I will tell you, the tacos are the best we have had. The food is incredible but let's talk about their drinks! Bring a card because they do require a deposit in case you lose the cup (drinks are served in their cups, I even bought one)! The drinks are incredible! I had the Danger (think, spicy margarita) and it was perfect! Besides the excellent food and drink, the service is amazing. The wait staff is friendly and the food and drinks are served quickly. The whole experience is worth the trip to the East End. We will be back next summer (kids in tow!) read more

I live in Southern California and to say I've had my fair share of tacos would be an understatement. Also, I was a little out of my comfort zone ordering the gourmet type taco from a taco boat... but WOW was I surprised with my very first bite. It was nothing less than amazing! Everything was perfect in that taco and honestly it was the best I've ever had. I ordered the Surf and Turf and loved it so much, ended up ordering another one because I knew I'd probably never have a chance to get one again. I would highly recommend this experience for anyone who's on the water in St John you won't be disappointed. read more

HOLY COW! Best tacos of my life. Worth the $500 boat rental to go visit Lime Out :) service was great, everything came out timely, and drinks were superb. Only call out is they should create time limits for the lily pads to ensure everyone has a chance to enjoy the experience. We came by 3 separate times and they were all taken by the same people. No one wants to leave this place! You MUST get the surf and Turf taco! To die for! read more

Such a fun concept, and the food and drinks are truly delicious! We visited via a catamaran trip we booked out of the Westin. My only wish is that they would have a few more taco options that are not spicy. read more

Hands down my groups favorite part of our trip! We did so much research trying to figure out everything we needed to know about getting to Lime Out... it's not as intense as people make it sounds! Go to Hansen Beach ($3/person to park for the day) & rent a kayak/paddle board (like $30 for a 2 person kayak for 2 hours) & paddle out. They'll tell you where to tie up. Hop out & swim to the bar. The food & drinks were all awesome. They are closed on Mondays. It does get busy, so get there early (opens at 11:30) There's a $60 refundable deposit to use their cups, not a big deal as long as you give it back! You can bring your own cup. My only complaint is that I bought one of their cups & it scratched so easily. Not sure if it was just the color I got (pink) or what. Not a huge deal, just worth noting. read more

I really enjoyed the food! The concept of a swim-up taco bar is very unique. The tacos were described at "small street tacos". I was surprised to see how big they actually were. Very impressed. We visited during Covid so there were restrictions. We couldn't sit at the bar, which is a real bummer because that place had great drinks. Guess we will just have to go back!! read more

SO much fun!! We went on Halloween. The drinks taste amazing and the people and bartenders are good company. $3/head per parking and $30/vessel for 2 hours. You need to be in a "vessel" to go to the swim up bar so we got two paddle boards for the 4 of us. They also have kayaks, paddle boats etc. definitely worth the $$ and I would 100% go back here read more

First off to say, the food really is that good. Our server was precious but it was obvious they wanted us in and out! We arrived early so that we could secure a couple of rafts for our crew (4 on one 3 in the other-6 person max). After spending couple hundred dollars (mostly merchandise) We were told that the manager wanted us to combine rafts with one person eating lunch from the water. That's why we got there early. When we left 3 teens took our spot. I've heard some say that the manager did this because it is one raft per boat. Our boat captain didn't share that, nor did our server. Hey. If that was the worst of my day I'm pretty good. read more

SUPs beware...not sure if this is new since Lime Out relocated to Coral Bay (previously at Hansen Bay) but we just arrived this morning after paddling out from the marina and were turned away because "swim ups" are not allowed according to the staff who greeted us, after first asking which charter boat we had come from. It was busy with charter boats (we knew it would be so planned to arrive right after opening around 11am) so it's also possible they were just favoring space for those presumably higher-priority customers. But we were told we'd need to rent a dinghy or pay a local to bring us back if we actually wanted service. Disappointing experience and not one we expected given the plethora of online indications that kayaks and SUPs were welcome. read more

Delivery to our boat was very much appreciated! The surf and turf taco was delicious!
