    Carnitas tacos in hard shell
    Lexee S.

    Local lime is the best Mexican food in the area. I have ate here many times and the food has always been consistently delicious. This time I had the steak and shrimp fajitas. The steak in their fajitas is the best quality steak you're going to find at a Mexican restaurant! I also love the fresco bowl, their tortilla soup and our course queso! My husband loves getting the carnitas tacos and asks for a hard shell. He says the hard shell makes all the difference! It's off menu but they can put any taco in a hard shell. We also love the Texas two step margarita with mezcal. Perfect spicy marg with a little smoky flavor! On occasion I have had slow service here but the food always makes up for it! We love sitting at the bar because the service there is always quick and they have very comfy bar stool chairs!

    Birria Quesadilla
    Sonya C.

    I heard and read a lot of good things about this place so I finally had time to stop in and see what all of the fuss was about. The restaurant is cute and it has a really good vibe especially for cocktails with friends or after work. I just walked in with no reservation and was helped and seated by friendly staff. I ordered the Birria Quesadillas and it was Delicious, moist and juicy. I will definitely go back and try other items from the menu. Maybe next time I'll try a cocktail.

    Chorizo Tacos

    Some friends and I went to Local Lime for dinner on a Saturday night. Since they don't take reservations, we were told the wait would be about 25 minutes, but it ended up being closer to 55 minutes. Once we were seated, we ordered drinks and appetizers and asked for waters for the table. After some time, our server returned to let us know they were out of queso dip, but didn't offer an alternative. When she came back after initially forgetting our drinks, I placed an order for different appetizers instead. The food arrived before we ever received water, despite asking multiple times. I ordered the queso flameado, which was good, along with the chorizo tacos. I also had the passion fruit margarita, which was tasty, though the portion was small for the price. The atmosphere was loud and very busy, it definitely seems like a popular new hangout spot. Overall, the experience was just okay. I'm not sure I'd go back.

    Shrimp and brie quesadilla

    We went here as a group. Local Lime is here in Germantown, located amongst the shops at Saddle Creek. The restaurant's name is written on the building and the interior is clean, bright and inviting. Our server was friendly and helpful with the menu. They have something to fit every palate and dietary need. For appetizers, we had the salsa flight appetizer, where you choose three to try along with the skillet queso. There's one salsa made with zucchini, and it was light and interesting. For entrees, there was the shrimp and brie quesadilla, fajitas, fish tacos, and curry shrimp tacos with cilantro rice and black beans. Everything was fresh and tasty. We had a really good time, and if you're in the area, you should give this place a try.

    Curry Shrimp Tacos

    We had such a great experience thanks to our waitress, Britany. She was so personable and attentive from the moment we sat down. She made us feel genuinely welcome and checked on us regularly to make sure we had everything we needed. I really appreciated the suggestions she gave, they were spot on and made our meal even better. We were visiting from out of town and she made the choice of this restaurant perfect! The food is amazing and the environment is so friendly! Everyone was so welcoming.

    Local Fresco Bowl
    Amber B.

    Great atmosphere, fresh and authentic food, and stellar service! The shrimp tacos, beans, and rice were my favorites. The richness of flavor in each dish was eccentric. My sister ordered a bowl and she enjoyed it. I loved the vibrant colors of each dish and the plating options. Each meal was under $25. Some entrees came with the options of two sides.

    Waiting for Take out

    I'd heard about this restaurant since moving to the area, but difficulty with parking in this plaza kept me from trying it. After our lunch today, I wish I would've been more patient in the past. The atmosphere on a Monday afternoon was noisy, but pleasantly busy. Good sign. We ordered takeout yet only waited about 10 minutes max. They have designations on their menu for food allergy and sensitivity patrons, with a larger selection than most Mexican restaurants. The food was very good, fresh, not greasy or heavy. There were no chips given, or any extras like sour cream, salsa or guacamole unless you pay for it, but the entrees were very good and unique when compared to other locations.

    It's been a while since I visited Local Lime, and I have to say, I love this spot! I chose to sit at the bar, and as usual, I immediately knew I would order the Fresco bowl with ribeye and the street corn--my absolute favorite. In fact, as I write this review, I'm craving it all over again! I also had a piña colada, which is strong but delicious. I tend to drink it quickly before it melts, as it changes flavor a bit when it does, but it's still my go-to every time I visit. I can't remember the bartender's name, but he was fantastic--very attentive and made my experience even better. I always enjoy myself at Local Lime, and if you haven't been yet, you definitely should!

    Salsa Flight and Queso with chips
    Dianna S.

    Went to lunch Tuesday at Local Lime with friends. We arrived at 11 and we're seated very quickly. The service was pretty good. We had one waitress and then changed up a few minutes after and had another waitress. She was excellent and attentive. She checked on us from time to time and very nice. i think her name was Laketha. The decor of the restaurant has some southwest hints with bright colors. It is modern looking and reminds me of an upscale cantina. We started off with the Salsa Flight. That is always tasty and has a variety of flavors. The queso was creamy and hot. It was a good consistency for dipping and not breaking the chips. My tuna tacos were very good with a lot of vegetables and blue corn taco shells. My sides of cilantro lime rice and drunken pinto beans added greatly to my dish. Good food and friends made for a great lunch. We will return in the future.

    trying local lime twice this week and it was amazing ... the food ingredient was so fresh and the service was good. the ambience is good for gathering, meeting lunch or even with kids... the selection of mexican food taco and variation was amazing...

    Local Lime is the perfect refuge for Mexican fare located in the middle of an upscale shopping plaza with Madewell, Anthropologie, Victora Secret, and Free People. This block is a heaven for a shopping and lunch date with your girls. Local Lime is absolutely gorgeous, busy ambiance and delicious latin food to boot! The best thing is you are not locked into buying their set tacos, but order them a la carte! I personally love their Crispy Ahi Tuna, Chargrilled Ribeye, Pacifico Fried Fish, and Local Carnitas tacos. The Crispy Ahi Tuna is the only taco that comes in a crunch purple corn tortilla shell while the others are a soft flour tortilla. Both Crispy Ahi Tuna and Local Carnitas are bursting with sauce and juicy flavor. Recommend you try the both! The "Pacifico" fried fish is less flavorful and my least favorite of the four.

    We went here on a Saturday for lunch and it was packed, but we got seated immediately. We had a really sweet waitress that asked a lot of questions to make sure our food would come out as we liked it. Everything was so fresh and amazing and had cute decor. Very chill vibe and loved the vegetarian options.

I can tell there are strict portion guidelines, and I understand needing to do so to ensure profitability, but the shrimp were small and scarce. For a $20+ sandwich, my only thoughts while eating it were those that were shaming myself, because I could've bought a whole bag of large wild caught Argentinian shrimp for the same amount that I paid for this sad little sandwich. The barbacoa torta had the same soggy problem. My past couple of experiences have been similar. Taking a break from this establishment.

From the moment we walked in, the atmosphere felt welcoming and relaxed -- the kind of place where you instantly know you're about to eat well. The margaritas were absolutely on point: perfectly balanced, not too sweet, not too strong, just smooth and refreshing. Then the food came out, and that sealed the deal. The fajitas were sizzling with flavor, tender and seasoned just right. And the burrito -- oh my -- that thing was a whole experience by itself. Big, hearty, and packed with all the good stuff. Every bite had us looking at each other like, "Okay, they did not come to play." Our waiter was incredibly attentive without hovering. Drinks stayed full, food came out hot, and he checked in at all the right moments. It's rare to get service that feels both genuine and consistent, but they nailed it. We're from Dallas, but whenever we're back in the area, this will definitely be one of our go‑to stops. Great food, great drinks, great service -- this place deserves way more love than it gets.

They brought out complimentary chips and salsa--definitely a highlight. The chips were seasoned (not your typical plain chips), and paired really well with the salsa. Super flavorful! For drinks, I ordered the Tornado Jumbo, and my husband got a Tornado with Hennessy added. Both were really good. I especially liked that each layer had a distinct flavor--some places make colorful drinks that all taste the same, but that wasn't the case here. We ordered a single order of steak, chicken, and shrimp fajitas. While the flavor was good, it did feel a bit heavy on the vegetables and a little light on the meat. When the dish first came out, it included bacon, which we weren't expecting and don't eat. However, the staff handled it well--they apologized and quickly remade it without any issue. Great customer service there. Even with the single order, we were able to make about five tacos, which was nice. My daughter ordered the kids' cheese pizza with a side option (fries or rice and beans). The pizza was similar to a frozen-style pizza, and she didn't care for it, but she did enjoy the chips, rice, and beans.
