Don't bother

by rocketSurgery at Citysearch

We just moved to West Village and naturally wanted to visit the restaurant offerings here. We were a little surprised to have such a lackluster experience at what we thought was a mid-level to high-end mexican cuisine place. Our waitress was kind but in addition to tilting her drink tray perilously close to our faces, her neglect of us in a deserted establishment only added to our disappointment after the food arrived. No flavor, color cooked out of everything and not a place we'll visit again.

• Pros: Friendly staff
• Cons: very bland food, inexperienced wait staff, ill-timed service

Substandard Mexican Fare

by Marileemed at Citysearch

We were excited to try this restaurant for lunch since it's close to our home. We tried a variety of the tacos, to include the chicken with mole sauce, the fish taco and the lobster taco. We also had margaritas, which were pretty good. However, the mole sauce on the chicken was powdery and had a bitter, burnt flavor. I could not eat it. The fish taco was okay, but nothing comparable to the fish tacos I ate in Southern California. The lobster taco was. . .lets say.. .not fresh. Ocean, fishy flavor and I also could not eat this. I am sad to say that we will not be back to this place. It's a nice atmosphere and the margaritas were fine, but the food made us both have an upset stomach and we could not eat anything for the rest of the day.

• Pros: Good Drinks
• Cons: Very poorly executed cuisine

Pricey, but very good!

I've gone to Lime about once every 2 months or so and would go there more often if the prices came down. I think the food is amazing- lots of flavor and inventive dishes, but the quantity/price ratio is out of proportion. My husband has to order 3-5 taco dishes to leave full...and that's with an appetizer. The entree dishes are plenty big (the shrimp entree is my favorite!)- but the tacos and starters are tiny.

With 2 drinks a piece, an appetizer, a salad split (the Caesar is perfect!), an entree for me and 4 tacos for my husband...our bill is approaching $80.

• Pros: Great martinis, food and atmosphere
• Cons: Too expensive
