KeithKNOWS, been there, Ate there!     LIME Fresh Mexican Grill, 5 West Paces Ferry Rd(Buckhead) Atlanta 30305   404-816-4890   & 903 Peachtree Street, Midtown Atlanta    http://www.limefreshmexicangrill.com/

Lovin’ that Latin “LIME” ..’lisciousness!!!!   On my weekly visit to Whole Foods in Buckhead, I decided to grab a bite to eat at this new fresh Mex grill, LIME.  I was greeted with open arms and excellent customer service. LIME is in the space that was formerly Johnny Rockets Hamburger joint.  I visualized a hot summer day out on the nicely designed patio, sipping on a lime Jarritos(Mexican natural soda)….LOL!   Don’t fret, they have margaritas, imported and domestic beers, wines, coke products, and of course, iced tea.  What I really like about LIME, the food is healthy, and you have multiple options, vegetarian, low-carb and low fat.  I know you are wondering, now what did he have to eat, well, let me tell you.  I ordered the Cabo Cobb Salad without bacon, it was huge, plenty of fresh crispy greens with black bean corn salsa, carrots, cotija cheese and pico de gallo topped with crispy tortilla strips, I also added from the free Salsa bar, pineapple salsa..amazingly delicious!  Oh, before I forget, the salad dressing was avocado ranch dressing, they should bottle that and sell it, excellent! …
