Look below street level for this Larimer Square treasure, which serves the town's best margaritas in an equally praiseworthy bar. Once you've descended the stairs to this below-ground restaurant/club, the flavor remains tangy and festive through inspired partitioning, a twist of Mexican inspiration, a youthful crowd and a fresh DJ lineup. Lime's food also commands attention: This is reasonably priced but inventive Mexican-American cuisine, from deep-fried flour tortillas that start each meal to excellent desserts. And be sure to say yes to the complimentary shot of tequila that comes in a lime.

How sweet it is! Lime, the homegrown chain that started in Larimer Square and now stretches from Greenwood Village to Winter Park, is known for its Tuesday-night tacos, its fresh (flour) chips, its strong margaritas. But our favorite item here is... More >

Already the bomb, Lime is primed to go thermonuclear once the good weather comes to stay. That's when owners Curt Sims and William Logan will throw open the French doors in the back of their basement space and debut Lime's grand outdoor patio,... More >

The Bite

By Patricia Calhoun | Thu, May 23, 2002

By the end of an evening of margarita-testing, our teeth tasted like SweeTarts. Gritty, sour and vaguely fruity -- a sad reminder of the apple, orange and pineapple juices we'd found bartenders around town inexplicably adding to the standard lime-... More >
Mexican, With a Twist

By Kyle Wagner | Thu, March 28, 2002

Denver diners have been waiting for the right twist on Mexican food, and Lime just might be it. Over the last year, a number of eateries have opened that feature either upscale Latin-derived cuisines (Cuban, Peruvian) or upscale Mexican fare, wit... More >

Taco Tuesday Tuesday night hot spot where you will see everyone who's out on a Tuesday night. Wait for a table with a marg at the bar and get the shrimp tacos for $3 and a veggie taco for a $1. They also have homemade flour tortilla chips that are really addicting!

I love this place because it is located between 15th and 14th on Larimer street. Perfect location, and for some reason is always crowded. I spent my birthday here a couple years back and when the bill came it wasn't at all akward because we went on $1 taco Tuesdays...
