Plaza Midwood's newest restaurant: Loco Lime
Posted by Priscilla Tsai on Fri, Feb 19, 2010 at 12:47 PM
Tucked in behind Common House restaurant on Central Avenue, Loco Lime opened quietly in Plaza Midwood three weeks ago.
The Mexican-inspired grill is the second location for Loco Lime — they have another restaurant in Highland Creek. On the menu you can find an assortment of appetizers ranging from fried jalapeños and Mexi-style wings to queso dip; four varieties of salads; enchiladas made of crab, chicken, beef, cheese, and even shrimp and potato; tortas (Mexican sandwiches); and specialty entrees such as flautas (Honduran style tacos), ancho-crusted pork chop, chile relleno, and camarones ala diablo.
When you sit down, you are greeted with a complimentary bowl of warm tortilla chips and salsa. Last night I tried the queso dip, vegetarian burrito, and the Tres Leches cake.
Despite the many tempting meat entrees on the menu, I decided to go with the veggie burrito because the description sounded amazing: "rice, vegetarian refried beans, portobello mushrooms, roasted corn relish, sweet plantains, and grills zucchini. Served with honey citrus cilantro slaw, guacamole, sour cream, and pico de gallo." I wasn't disappointed.
Loco Lime might be a great place to grab an inexpensive lunch too — from 11 a.m. to 3 pm, Monday through Friday, they serve a "Rapido Lunch Menu" with items $6.50 and under.
Take a look at Plaza Midwood's newest Mexican grill.
