At Lime Fresh Mexican Grill®, our guests don’t take their Mexican food lightly, and neither do we. We have high standards for quality fresh-Mexican food and our franchisees. That’s because we believe in the quality of our stores versus the quantity of our locations. We franchise on a limited basis because we don’t just want to be the fastest growing fresh-Mexican restaurant around- we want to be the best.
