Lime Fresh Mexican Grill

South Beach comes to Arlington

Just take a look at the bodies around South Beach and you'll realize that the food down there must be super healthy, and -- hey! Stop looking, it's getting creepy and there's a story to read here, about a South Beach-born Mexican mainstay called Lime Fresh.

Started as "one bumpin’ burrito shop in hell-raising, health-conscious" Miami, Lime now wants to make Clarendon equally hot by serving it never-processed Mexican food in a fast-casual joint w/ a homemade salsa bar, hanging lime baskets, and "hammered copper" that's somehow managed to stay on the countertops, instead of ending up passed out under them. "Lost Burritos" include the Queso (ground beef, jalapeños, tortilla strips), the 8th Street (chicken, crispy bacon, pico de gallo), and the XL Big Cali stuffed w/ organic refried beans, jack & cheddar, sour cream, and your choice of protein, which includes mahi mahi cooked "Baja-style", which you'll definitely juana try. Other favorites include the Dang bacon and bean quesadilla, a sizzlin' fajita platter (technically invented by Chili's, but whatever), and the Surfer taco w/ mahi and "cool" cilantro, which means the cilantro must get free drinks at Chili's because it knows all the waitresses there and even used to hook up with Steph, nbd.

And because all good South Beachers enjoy an adult beverage, they're stocking Mexican beers (Modelo Especial, Tecate) and frozen sangria or lime margaritas, which -- hey! Stop drinking, it's making you creepy, and you have a link here to click about Lime Fresh.
