Decided to sit at the bar instead of waiting for a table. Food was fairly quick. Excellent taste. Wish chips and salsa came along with the dinning experience. read more

Local Lime | Germantown - Shrimp quesadilla - Tacos Near Me - Germantown, Tennessee

This is one of the cutest spots I've been to in a while. I felt like I was out of town. I must say it started off rocky because they switched our waiter after we had already ordered drinks. Our second server wasn't as nice but she finally warmed up. The food was great. The drunken beans were off the chain. The only reason I am giving them four stars is because our server was a little off. My friend asked for a regular size cheese dip. She told him they only have small or large. Printed in the menu is small or regular. She was very snappy. Then when it was time to pay she said, I know yall going to leave me a big tip. Yall look like yall leave good tips. She went on to explain she had got put out of her place and needed money. It was a lot to listen to. Granted we left her thirty dollars but I the whole exchange was weird and I didn't like it. I will still give this place another chance because i LOVED everything else. The decor and ambiance is everything. I love the family tables in the middle. I feel like they were very intentional with the layout of the restaurant. read more

3 Taco Plate - Chicken / Carnitas / Fried Fish. Sides - Cilantro Lime Rice and Drunken Pinto Beans. Drink - Lavender Margarita. Appetizer- A Salsa Flight with an extra sample of a fourth: Verde Tomatillo / Chipotle / House Tomato/ Tres Chiles Starting with the salsa flight is a MUST! Our kind waiter, Malik, suggested one and even brought us a sample of Tres Chiles, so we ended up with four varieties instead of the usual three. My favorite? Honestly, I loved all of them! As for the taco plate, it was good, but I would recommend skipping the grilled chicken (my reason for four stars) --it was too dry for my taste! I also wasn't a fan of the flour tortilla, so if I return, I'll stick with corn. Surprisingly, the fish taco was delicious! The beans and rice complemented the tacos nicely. I ordered a lavender margarita based on our waiter's suggestion, and it was good. But I also tasted the Pina Colada, which they make in-house, and it was AMAZING--opt for that instead! It made it hard to go back to my original choice. We arrived about 45 minutes after the restaurant opened, and it wasn't busy then. However, it was packed by the time we left, so it's clearly a popular spot. They don't accept reservations; they only have an online waitlist, so plan your visit accordingly. You can't beat the ambiance and attentiveness of the wait staff and hostess desk. This was my second visit, and I have multiple reasons for returning. It's also an excellent choice for out-of-town guests, which is one of the reasons I love it. The decor is beautiful, and the food is relatively authentic and delicious. read more

Two of us in our party and we arrived after the normal dinner rush. Server was very knowledgeable and pleasant and the restaurant a little noisy while only half full. We enjoyed the food, enchiladas, and a chicken bowl, where the food was fresh and prepared properly. This is a different twist on familiar food, which I truly enjoyed. Enjoyed a craft beer as well. Pictures attached. Moderately priced and we left very satisfied with this meal and experience. read more

I was in town and met some friends here to try out this new spot. It didn't disappoint. It was a 45min wait but didn't seem that long. Our waitress, Chloe, was amazing and walked us through the menu. We ordered the queso and guac as a starter. I ordered the tacos which I was happy to learn we could mix it. I had the ribeye, grilled and fried chicken tacos. I couldn't finish it all but the ribeye taco was my favorite. It's at Saddle Creek so there's plenty of parking. The atmosphere was cool and perfect for meeting up with friends read more

Food & ambiance were excellent. Service, not so much. We were told they "were out of silver". At 7:15pm? We had to ask the server for basically everything. Party of 7 & she brought us 1 small bowl of chips with 2 flights of salsa. She eventually literally tossed plastic togo utensils on the table. She brought the freshly washed silverware maybe halfway through dinner. read more

Still 3 stars. Had the birra quesadilla, but got it to go given the 2 hour wait (watch out!!!). Parking lot was a mad house, but they said the order would be ready in 20 minutes. And they didn't lie. Major props on that. So the quesadilla: a bit underwhelming, truly. I don't know if they forgot to pack the consume or if it is 'in' the meat, but I didn't get to dip anything in anything. Cheesy, meat was smoky, decently (and appropriately) greasy. And it paled in comparison to the brisket quesadilla El Mero Taco offers. By quite a bit, actually. Price point, taste, authenticity, all points won by El Mero. Except for presentation. And that's the big point with Local Lime to me: (and not to harp) Local Lime is about image, presentation, appearances. Places like El Mero are about the food, the substance, the essence of a meal. If you're looking to see and be seen, by all means, go to Local Lime. If you're looking to experience flavor as the primary concern, go elsewhere first. read more

First time experiencing this restaurant. Service is wonderful, almost overkill. Food: pricey but okay. Fresh, tasty and presents well. They offer a different spin on the traditional Mexican tacos/dishes. Their spin salsa chips have this pita chip like feel, hard & crisp. Their dishes overall were decent. Menu prices are not child friendly for those dining with children. Ambiance: casual, clean and family friendly. Parking can be competitive. read more

I selected Local Lime for my birthday dinner which fell on a Saturday night. I was able to get a reservation at 6:00 although I really didn't need it because it was only half full. It had been a year since I was last there. When we started our order two of the items were already sold out, Mango salsa and Black beans. This could only be due to poor planning in the kitchen. We were disappointed but found alternatives. The service and ambiance were 5 star. The only other issue was that we arrived at 6:00 and it was 55 minutes before our food came out. I do not believe this was our server's fault as she kept going back to check on it. The bar area is of good size and very popular. They only have 3 beers on tap but no Mexican beers such as Modelo or Dos XXs. I ended up ordering the stout from Wiseacre and was very happy with it. read more

Our experience at Local Lime was fantastic. The ambience of the place is amazing with a great upscale Southwestern vibe. Great lightning with a glow that makes it feel quite special. The food was excellent. As we were headed to the theatre, we opted for just the salsa flight, guacamole, and nacho bites. Everything was so fresh. Our waiter, Terry, was the best - attentive but not hovering. A great all around experience. read more

The food is excellent. The waitstaff is excellent. The noise levels are out the roof, though. Someone's baby screaming a high pitched scream constantly for 40 minutes kind of ruined our visit. If noise bothers you, you probably want to avoid this place. read more

The consistency of the food could be a tab better (good, lean, flavorful steak on visit then fatty, overcooked steak the next for example) but Local Lime is definitely worth a try.

I can't say how much of a horrible experience I just had to go through today . Came in for my mother in laws birthday. Had an appointment for 3:30 , waited 25 minutes for no one to even come to our table . Every waitress just passed up by. Not coming here to bash this place but it seems as tho only reviews visible to others make a difference read more

The Local Lime was recommended to myself as someone who love alternative takes on foods I love. The menu offered a unique variety of flavors and entree options. I will note that this place is not tradition Mexican so go in with an open mind. We got the guacamole for the table and it was delicious! I love a fresh, flavorful dip and this one fit the bill. Our entrees were delicious and the overall vibes of the restaurant were very aesthetic! read more

Went with friends late Sunday afternoon. The seating ws a bit slow but OK. The interior looks nice and is clean. the food and drinks however are on the mediocre side. The margarita's especially were kind of small and were not that flavorful. It seemed to be a watered down mixture. The chips and salsa were extra, a lot extra. We had the Queso flamado with Chorizo to share. About double what you would normally pay in a Mexican restaurant. The chips were OK. We also ordered a starter of guacamole. It came with four tiny flour tortillas. When we ordered our mains, one of us asked for a slight modification to the dish. Our server told us that no changes could be made because all the dishes were PREMADE. That was a bit of a shocker. You are expecting freshly made food, only to find out it might just be microwaved. The grand total for two people was probably about 30-40% more than what you would expect, even if it is Germantown. Being in Germantown is not a good excuse. Been there done that. Did not get the T-shirt. read more

Local Lime is definitely a modern Mexican spot if you ask me. The place was packed and I could barely find a seat at the bar. The decor was nice. Modern. Colorful. The bartenders were slow because it was packed. My favorite drink was the Mango Fuego Margarita. The jalapeño tequila was a smart decision. The salsa flight was cool. Tres chiles is the one. The queso flamedo was cheesy, spicy with a nice flame presentation. But I needed more chorizo. The Dixon Chicken Enchilada was excellent with the drunken beans. My meal was great. read more

Sat for ten minutes never saw a server - except for those who walked by but apparently never saw us. So. We gave up and walked. No one said anything, including none of the three or four employees hanging out behind the bar. The place had customers at, maybe, 20% of their tables; most were empty and I think I know why. Similarly poor service the first time we went, soon after they opened, but they were at least busy then. Too many other places nearby to patronize. read more

This time I sat down in restaurant. Food was served nicely, the drinks were good. The birria tacos tasted very good. The rum cake could had more sweetness to it, but overall. I probably would come back in person. read more

Poor experience overall. A Mexican restaurant experience is a lot of food and not very expensive. The ambience is vibrant, colorful and usually noisy. This one checks the last box. The other two, well, the decor is tasteful, not tacky. Clean looking and nice colors. Let's start with entering the restaurant- lots of people waiting and the hostesses took a while to turn to us even when there was no one in front. Twenty minute wait although lots of empty tables like another review has mentioned. Maybe they have a staffing problem. We got seated and asked for water--heavily chlorinated and terrible to taste. Can't understand this because Germantown water isn't that bad considering they're giving us tap water anyway. Chips arrived without any salsa! Not your average Mexican restaurant experience. We had to wait until we saw the waitress to ask for salsa. Turned out you had to order that separately. She could have told us that. The salsa arrived as a flight of three different flavors, all quite bland and tasteless. We ordered fajitas. This comes with a very small side of salad and a tiny portion of guacamole. No rice. That has to be ordered separately and came in tiny thimble fulls. The salad was good, guacamole so-so. Fajitas were okay but mostly onions and peppers and tomatoes, very little meat. Very small portions, especially considering the price. The tortillas were tiny, like maybe two and a half inches in diameter, and cold. The overall feeling was they were serving rare gems and of course you can't expect a lot of them. Since we went as a family, we were determined to have a good time but it was a struggle. I wonder if it has anything to do with the high taxes in Germantown because the one before Uncle Goyo's was similarly disappointing (maybe worse)and closed soon after. I don't see a very bright future for this one either. Not going back... read more

Visited for a late lunch. I had been 3 times before and the wait was just too long to stay. So this was my lucky day. We were seated immediately and we were greeted by Landon. He was amazing. Very attentive and very pleasant. We all ordered margaritas. They were delicious and strong. I had a frozen pomegranate margarita and it was . We ordered queso blanco and guacamole for appetizers. Both delicious. We had steak nacho bites and fried chicken tacos for our meal. So so good. Hot and fresh and seasoned well. We had an amazing lunch and I can't wait to go back. read more

One of the best fajitas I've ever had. Get a flight of salsa and make sure you order the guac.

Food was really great for a tex-mex type restaurant. We had no real complaints, service was slow but they were pretty slammed packed. Daughter and I sat on the patio and Heather was our server. Prices are higher compared to other establishments with similar menu items. The pulled pork tacos were awesome and the meat was flavored really well, (greasy) but still had wonderful flavor. The cilantro lime rice far exceeded my expectations. The salsas were wonderful and the queso too. We preferred the more traditional house tomato but the verde tomatillo was a great second best. My daughter enjoyed the chicken quesadilla but said it was somewhat bland. Heather was our server. The patio was nice for a spring day. Restrooms and establishment was over all clean & roomy. read more

I had heard mix reviews but food and drinks was good. Homemade tortillas was awesome. I would return just for those.

This was the first time visiting Local Lime. From Yelp reviews we knew it was going to be a 45 minute to an hour wait but that was ok because we had a late lunch and wasn't very hungry. The reason I'm giving it a 4 and not a 5 is because the place was outrageously loud. I don't usually mind loud restaurants but this was crazy to the point that it was painful. You definitely couldn't have a conversation without shouting. It wasn't due to loud music; it was just that all the surfaces were hard and nothing to absorb the sound. We asked for a table on the patio because we wouldn't have been able to stand it. After we were seated everything was great. Our waiter Robby was fantastic. The margaritas were amazing. First time I had Mezcal and we loved it. The food was very good. Obviously not authentic Mexican food but still really good. I definitely want to go back but only if we can sit on the patio. read more

This place is absolutely darling inside and out, the service to match which was fast and d friendly. Though, I tend to be a bit skeptical about spruced-up Mexican restaurants, so here is my honest review. We ordered the Paloma, which was an unexpected take on the ones I have previously had; tasted more like a seltzer. To start, we had the Salsa Trio. The chips were quite thick but good. The first, the 'Chipotle,' be WARNED - was served warm, which was unexpected and reminiscent of marinara. Next was the mango salsa; although the mangoes were a bit overripe, it was decent though lacked spice. Finally, the 'house salsa' was okay, needing more spice, cilantro, salt, or something. While all the ingredients were very fresh, the overall flavors were quite mild. For our main entree, we split the bowl between two people; overall, it was good. The beans were absolutely fantastic, with a wonderful flavor featuring a bit of spice and cilantro. The rice, however, was quite bland, though it had a hint of lime; it could have benefited from more cilantro or something extra. The pickled onions are also noteworthy! Finally, the shrimp had great flavor and were well-cooked, despite their small size. To accompany your bowl, two dressings were served, both mild in flavor. The first, the vinaigrette was not notable; quite oily, hint of citrus. The jalapeño ranch was fantastic as far as good ranch goes, but I did not taste any hint of heat from the jalapeño. I feel like a chipotle ranch would have been more fitting. Finally, the street corn! The crème was so fresh and delicious, while it did lack the spice from cayenne pepper. To wrap it up, this restaurant uses fresh ingredients, and it does not go unnoticed. While they didn't compromise on freshness, I felt they did with overall flavor. Everything needed a boost of spice to truly celebrate the flavors of Mexican food especially the wonderful peppers it offers. At this time, I don't see myself rushing back despite the overall fabulous interior. read more

Went for Valentine's Day lunch. Had a Fresca bowl, guacamole, and tortilla soup, and Iced tea. The bowl with chicken was my favorite. Lots of flavor! The tortilla soup looked small, but had a lot in it. Was pretty tangy. Guacamole was very good, iced tea was cloudy and just ok. You can tell everything is made fresh. Ambiance was really cool. Someone put a lot of thought and effort into the decor. Service was spot on. Fairly expensive, but we enjoyed it! read more

LOUD!!! Sooooo LOUD!!! Arrived on a Friday about 5pm and there was no wait for a table for 2. The place is large and did I mention LOUD? Lol!! It's located by a most talked about cookie place and clothing stores on Farmington in the Saddle Creek shopping center with plenty of parking. I ordered the small cheese dip ( waitress bought out a large), a Fresca bowl, and the house margarita. Oh and the salsa flight is a must if you want to try more than one salsa. I liked the mango salsa the most, the rest were just ok. The reviews you read about the chipotle tasting like tomato sauce is true and the tres chiles salsa was very mid. Both the chipotle and the tres chiles salsas had a small kick, but wasn't my favorite. The cheese dip was good, I thought it was a small so I ordered another to go, until I received the bill and saw I was charged for a large which was $9.50. Price wise, I think the small was a dollar or so less, so it wasn't a big deal. Service to take our drink order was slow, but our food arrived pretty quickly. The Local Fresca Bowl with chicken was very filling and the ingredients included chicken, rice, black beans, guacamole, grilled corn, etc. you get wayyy more food in the bowl than that chain place ppl rave about! The bathroom had a weird smell like it needed to be cleaned and needed some fresh air circulating, there was hair in the sink and well it basically needed to be looked after. We sat inside and still had to fight with flies and gnats, that was no fun! Would I return, maybe, but I won't be suggesting this place to others. It is NOT worth the $60 spent and you have to try to talk over others to hear your guests. By the time we left there was a wait and people outside and inside waiting to be seated. If you have not been, give it a try and form your own opinion. read more
