About the LIME Fresh Mexican Grill Franchise Experience

Where Fresh Ingredients Meet Bold Flavors and a Fresh Vibe

ABOUT US

Boldly Redefining Fast-Casual Dining with Freshness & Flavor

LIME Fresh Mexican Grill was born in 2004 on the iconic streets of South Beach, Miami — inspired by one simple belief: modern dining could be quick, crave-worthy, and community-driven. With locally sourced ingredients, made-to-order Mexican-inspired dishes, and a fun, friendly energy, LIME became more than a taco spot — it became a community favorite.

From the very beginning, LIME stood out with its signature homemade salsa bar, bold flavors, and open kitchens where guests could see the care behind every plate. It was a place where chips crunched, drinks flowed, and guests felt like regulars from day one. That spirit of Hospitality Heart — real, intentional, and personal — became the soul of the brand.

Hospitality Heart shows up in everything we do:

Where It All Started

Our Origins

The Journey to LIME 2.0

When LIME Fresh Mexican Grill launched in 2004, the mission was simple: bring fresh, made-to-order, Mexican-inspired dishes to the lively streets of South Beach, Miami. Over the next two decades, the brand built a loyal base of LIME lovers — known not just for bold flavors and fresh ingredients, but for a dining experience full of energy, community, and Miami-inspired vibes.

In 2016, EverFresh Endeavors took the reins, infusing ever-fresh new energy into the brand and paving the way for LIME 2.0, an elevated fast-casual model built for today’s modern guest. This evolution extended far beyond the menu. From a refreshed restaurant design and an expanded full-bar program featuring signature cocktails made with fresh fruits and juices, to a renewed focus on hospitality, LIME 2.0 redefined what the fast-casual experience could be.

Today, LIME Fresh Mexican Grill is growing once again — expanding the LIME 2.0 experience into new markets across Florida and beyond. With a refined model, hospitality-first service culture, and a franchisee-centric approach designed for scalability, LIME is positioned to bring bold flavors and fresh energy to communities across the map.

I.M.

“We had a great experience at Lime Fresh in Flamingo Crossings. The chips and guac were fresh and delicious, and we really liked the pickled onions on top. The tacos were flavorful, and the grilled chicken bowl with rice and veggies was cooked just right. The drinks were light and refreshing — perfect for a warm day.”

Yuliya Mariani

“I come here about once to twice a week, since I live in the area and I really enjoy the food. The service is fast and friendly. And the food is consistently good.”
