The Lime Truck provided excellent service for our outdoor event for 50-60 people. Guests of all ages enjoyed the food, and they were able to accommodate dietary restrictions. It was fun to see my guests excitement when they realized that the Lime Truck was there for our party!

They were closing up for the night when I stopped by so they were out of most items but the team was super warm and friendly and hooked me up with a chicken quesadilla and a couple churros. Both were super fresh and tasty!! Great team. Great food. Great service. Would definitely go back if they’re in the neighborhood again.

Ok, just to make this short, if this is the same TLT food that I loved when it was at UCLA. You don’t understand how much my boyfriend and I have missed you. We were upset when we went to check out if y’all were opened after the pandemic and you were closed we couldn’t believe it. We sorta went back like 5 times in hopes y’all would open. Years later I decided to search you again and here we are. You shall see us soon because we love you guys and your food. I was 4 dishes away of having your entire menu. Your tacos have made so many people that I’ve known convert to saying yes to trying something knew and has never disappointed when I would bring them here. Everything I have had from your menu back at UCLA 🤌🏽chefs kiss. I’m so happy to have found you again. 💕🥹

I had the Lime Truck cater my company event at a park in Santa Monica, there were about 50 of us playing games and eating the best food from TLT! Ethan was helpful, patient, and flexible as our plans changed many times last minute, and our event went off without a hitch. The team raved about the food, and they have options for every eater. 10/10, highly recommend!

Food is alright, but $6/taco is ridiculous, and mind you they are selling this to college kids. The service is not even that good. They don’t have salsa or hot sauce to offer with the $6 tacos. The tacos are not even big or filling.

I used Lime Food Truck for my husbands 50th Birthday party recently. Ethan was very communicative and worked within my food restraints (all food had to be gluten-free for my husbands celiacs) and budget. On the day of the event, the team showed up on time and were friendly but professional. A week later I am still getting compliments on the quality of food! I would love to use Lime Food Truck again for any catering needs.

I was at your event today at Saddleback College and I really cant believe you won a show about being a food truck. The tortillas were cold and not even cooked but the worste part was you clearly couldnt handle the event. People were waiting only to be disappointed. You were not prepared. Im not sure how you could advertise the event on tour website knowing about the crowd and not be ready for us. Bummer. The food was, as I said just okay. Someone us couldnt even get service because we ordered and waited so long we had to go back to work. Bummed to say the least.

Simply Amazing! I recently attended a Conversation Kitchen event on campus at UCI where Lime Truck catered the event, and results were absolutely fantastic! The food, operations, value and the service were all impeccable; looking forward to the next event catered by The Lime Truck!

Our Advertising agency, Creative Package McKahan, has enlisted The Lime Truck for multiple events at the Irvine Auto Center for over a year. Attendees as well as the Automotive Dealerships response has always been very positive and the demand for repeat attendance consistent. Ethan and his team are professional and attentive to event scheduling and the occasional last minute changes. Pleasure to have them work with our agency.

Food here is really great. Just like it was on the show. I recommend their bowls as i feel you can get the best bang for your buck. The appetizers are really great, especially the brussel sprouts and the artichoke hearts. Overall thats really good food and for a really good price. The really quick to make the food and Tuesdays they have a really good taco Tuesday deal.

I have never heard of this place so decided to try it out. When I first walked in, it was clean, with friendly staff and the menu variety was pretty decent. Just based on the menu, I cant necessarily say that its authentic Mexican, more like modern mexican food. I ended up getting just a burrito (with chicken as the protein base) and it was pretty good and I loved that they grill the tortilla to give it that crunch, though the chicken was pretty dry (I was trying to go for a more healthy protein, but I guess it backfired - maybe should have gone for tofu or vegan meat instead). That being said, I still enjoyed the food and the experience and Ill be looking forward to trying some other things on the menu.

We tried the food at the restaurant, it was good and thats why we decided to do the catering but the food was really really disappointing with the catering.1. We had to throw away both the taco full trays and order in new food for all the guests at that moment. Tacos were all super dry including the outer tortillas being dry and hard to chew. It seemed like there were no sauces or salsas in it. (People started eating within an hour we picked up the food and then had to wait due to this issue)2. The Cali bowl had just rice and very less veggies but the taste was good so we kept it. Also, there was no serving spoon given for the bowl.Overall, it was a very bad experience with catering the food. Not worth the price with this quality of food in catering. We felt bad that we had to throw away the food as well as the guest had to wait for the new food to come.PS: Ethan Kass helped us with the ordering the food.

Pros : I will say the food here is splendid. I found this spot on a sad quarantine day when I was craving a burrito. I was not disappointed. The dishes I have tried are packed full of flavor and the best fusion food to date! The price is reasonable as well!Cons: I have asked for light modifications a few times and they are not fulfilled. (I dont know if it is a pretentious our flavor is perfect sort of deal, or if it is a communication issue via the application in which I ordered.)

The food was excellent! Everything we had had a really nice mix of flavors. Highlights were Vegas tacos and sides of brussel sprouts and artichokes. My daughter said its her new favorite place to eat.

This place is so delicious! The different Taco choices are yummy and I always have a hard time deciding which ones I want. All of the tacos I tried have been delicious! My friends got burritos and they loved it! Even the dessert is worth getting because its delicious to! I have friends who have gone here a few times and now I see why!! I definitely want to go back and soon!

Eating here is a perfectly neutral experience, Ive been here a few times, and every time something was either broken or out. The food is just a little more expensive than is comfortable for a single taco, every option has something pickled or vinegar based on it, that offsets the dish just enough to take it from good to ok. Over all it has good bones but feels poorly executed. 5/10 I dont look forward to eating here, but I wont avoid it.

I had the taco sampler, and it was delicious. Its been a while since Ive eaten off the truck and it was as good as I remembered. Years ago I won a t shirt for eating a bowl of spicy chili. Ive been wearing it during The Great Food Truck Race. I hope they win it all this Sunday.The restaurant is cool looking, and the employees are very nice. I plan on making this a regular stop when I get hungry.

I’ve been going to TLT since it opened in Spectrum many years ago. I’ve never had bad experience here. Food quality is always great and I really like their level of customer service 👌Steak Quesadilla Salad Bowl is simply amazing 🤩 Definitely check it out. My second favorite is their Sticky Wings 😁 Chimi Noodle Bowl is awesome but I wish they were served it hot than cold 🤷‍♂️If you are not on diet, go for Short Rib Grill cheese 🤘 You won’t regret it 😁

The Lime Truck has almost never disappointed me except when they swap some of my menu favourites. I used to frequent their location in Westwood pre-pandemic and was absolutely heartbroken when i learned they were closing it permanently. The food is amazing. The limeaid is better. I wish they had a permanent location i could visit so I could eat it outside of catering.

Wow!!! This place was very good and also very surprising as I entered not knowing what I was walking into. Essentially they are a Mexican-Asian fusion. The tacos and fries were pretty good but the burrito🤤🤤🤤. I highly recommend the burrito. It was a taste combination I had never had and it was refreshing in that sense of newness. Nice seating and nice atmosphere.

My Co-worker and I decided to come for lunch one day and I will say I was not disappointed. I wish I remembered everything I got, but the Customer Service was so good that its what I remember the most. Chris and Lesley were so helpful and kind to us while it was our first time eating there. Then we wanted to have something to drink and the Manager Francis made us yummy alcoholic limeaids i believe it was. Francis even suggested a few different types of Tacos and He said if i really didnt like it that he would take it back for me and get me something different. I wish I could describe how amazing this staff was. I think if everyone treated their customers the way TLT does, the world would be a different place. I will definitely be returning!!!

Taco and bowl place with good intentions, lots of colors and flavors. However, their rice bowl was too heavy, with so many garnishes that would overpower the flavors if one really ate them all. And both of the different flavored tacos, when we picked them up, were dripping with oil, not water but oil, and didn’t have enuf veg or garnish to balance out the heaviness. Really hope this place will do better as I like to support places like these.

This place always over delivers, at least for me. Whenever we are nearby, we make an effort to stop at their store fronts. I havent ever been to one of their trucks, if they even have them. What if?The irony, scandalous! Anyway, this was not to long after OC was opening dine-in again, and the efforts they went to sealing off the kitchen and providing seating were pretty impressive. The menu had changed since my last visit, but you can always bank on just about any style of taco. Our favorite item is the cauliflower ceviche, but unfortunately we were told its seasonal! 😩 It really didnt ruin our visit tho because everything we did get is always so extra! See the drink selection. Try a lime-aid if theyre available. There are so many good choices here that it occasionally creates a line from overwhelmed customers trying to make an order. Probably why they streamlined the menu. Thanks TLT! Well be back.

This place makes Taco Tuesday the best day ever!! They not only do a very nice deal for Tuesday but its like having a gourmet taco for a regular taco price!! This place s walking distance from my work and gives me and my company a chance to enjoy a better version of a quick bite to eat. They have created custom tacos that infuse fresh ingredients with a twist of flavor that you are most likely not use to when it comes to street tacos.

Great food. I was dumb enough to not ask if my noodles had cilantro (Mexican fusion and all) and they were super nice about giving me plain noodles. Even suggested I use a sauce to give it more flavor. The noodles ended up being super good and filling, lemonade was so fresh tasting, fries were perfectly crispy with a fresh taste, sauces were excellent. Hopefully this place franchises!

Tasty and unique offerings across a surprising big menu. They have done a great job of translating the food truck experience the founders are known for. Great price especially when you get the combo.

We ordered seasoned pork belly nacho, flavorful and tasty. Will be back for another round soon! Even better their taco Tuesday now expanded to most weekday now!

Review №32

2021-06-05 07:17:27

My opinion: People are trying too hard these days to be different and stand out rather than just being delicious. Pico de Gallo wasn’t seasoned. Chicken breast is SUPER dry, I would never order that if I knew it was going to be so dry. Pork belly filling was good, but they don’t warm up the tortillas like you’re supposed to and it just fell apart soon as I grabbed it. For a place that only offered tacos as entree, it was a huge disappointment. The sides were not appetizing either. Brussel sprouts, corn on the cob, or chips and salsa. Salsa wasn’t seasoned at all, and the chips weren’t enough to address that problem. The corn had some weird things added to it that didn’t compliment the corn at all, it would’ve been better with only salt, that’s how weird the sauce was.

Review №33

2021-08-10 19:36:50

Its hard to say that they have good customer service when the manager (Francis) is rude and disrespectful to customers.I forget to ask for a salsa and go to the cashier to ask for one. The manager tells the cashier that I have to wait for the salsa until the rest of the orders in front of me are fulfilled. After 7 mins I tell the cashier that my tacos are getting cold and she tries to follow up but the manager just tells her sorry I have all these orders before and to make things worse - he tells the cashier I should have ordered it when I place my order.Clearly the manager is overwhelmed and cant handle the expectations required of his position. Im making a formal complaint about this - what a horrible first impression for a restaurant to give a new visitor like myself.Dont give your money to this location, plenty of other Mexican food places that will be happy to serve you. Oh, and theyll have the salsa bar thing down much better than this place.

Disappointed.Saw these guys on TV and wanted to go support them in my home town.I order one taco and corn and 15 minutes later, I still didnt get it and the place was not busy..The 2 guys at the front counter were just standing around talking, the chef in the back wasnt doing anything.It wasnt until I got up and asked about my food, they then prepared it.Will not be going back, not because of the food but because of the terrible customer service.

This place is really goof. We liked it better than Cava and I think it was worth trying. Not crazy about the potato taco but the chicken bowl my daughter got and the other taco I ordered were delicious. Their juice is really good and they give you refills. Also, try out their desserts. The panacotta was really good.

Review №36

2021-03-02 19:38:29

The tacos were tasty but they messed up our order for our wedding. We ordered enough tacos to have left overs for 43 people and ended up with half the people not getting any. So if you do cater with them, double check what you recieve! Also double check the invoice because theyve messed that up as well! And also when getting the 20% deluxe set up, note that they dont actually have proper labels for the food. They just scribble with a black marker on the foil trays.

This food truck inspired restaurant has done bomb fries. Most of the food is actually delicious. However, I offered the pork belly taco and it was not my favorite... but thats just mg personal preference. Ive had their quesadilla, loaded nachos, fish taco, ahi taco, all of them are delicious. Plus their drafts are pretty good too. Id definitely give it a go.

Review №38

2018-11-23 01:34:29

Oh man, this place is great. Some family members talked up the pork belly nachos, but living in Southern California, Im always skeptical towards anyone talking up some new Mexican food place. I was pleasantly wrong! We tried the pork belly nachos, pork belly quesadilla, and a bowl of what looked like little baked potatoes in queso and sauce and stuff. Everything was delicious! Next time we swing by Spectrum well definitely get more!

2 friends10 reviews5.0 star rating 3/21/2017We love The Lime Truck!My wife and I hired them to cater our wedding reception of 160 guests. They helped us pick an awesome menu that ran the gamut of our guests tastes, they were eager to answer loads of questions, AND they let us try out basically every item on the menu to make sure we were happy with our choices. On the day, they arrived on time, eager to serve. Throughout the evening, they checked in with us to see how people were liking the food, and letting us know about how many people had been served. They were just fantastic to work with, and we would definitely hire them again. Oh, and the food was AMAZING!!

So many flavors in that one bowl! The green rice bowl is so good! We also got the cauliflower ceviche this time. Brilliant. So good! Please keep it on the menu! Every time I come to TLT I bring someone new, and every time they love it too!

2018-08-23 01:55:32

Good tacos and better beer. Spacious area, friendly staff, and outdoor seating available. Steak tacos were better than the short rib, carnitas, pork belly, and fried chicken tacos. Worst was the fried chicken tacos (batter wasnt the right type). Would definitely come back if Urban Seoul was too busy (they offer better tacos imo).

Review №42

2019-08-13 20:17:41

I used to come here all the time for the PBAT sandwich, bit thats been off the menu for some time so I stopped coming. I recently went back, the food is still pretty good. I got the short rib grilled cheese and a pork belly taco, but its a little too pricey in my opinion. My meal came out to $17, and I dont quite think it was worth that much.

Review №43

2020-02-17 21:08:29

Always convenient for lunch. The food never disappoints. Several options that are a tasty blend of Mexican style cuisine with unexpected flavors. I really like the fried chicken tacos.

Review №44

2022-01-05 03:21:46

Just okay. Nothing bad to say. Good service, but the food was very average. I got the Vegas and OC tacos but wasn’t impressed with either. Also got a side of guac and it was bland. Limeade was great tho!

Review №45

2019-05-02 01:42:57

Great food, great service. Steak quesadilla salad is great. As is the short rib tacos and quesidilla. Chimichurri noodles are great with pork belly. Brussell sprouts are also good. All the tacos are good as well. We had a pre-caterimg tasting and pretty much tried tons of stuff. Enjoy!

Review №46

2021-10-18 04:54:44

Over priced and nothing special. We ordered two items, a chicken and rice bowl and chicken burrito with two drinks and it was almost $35 bucks! The chicken was dry and the burrito would have been better at a Chipotle.

Review №47

2021-07-06 18:26:53

Someone else described TLT as modern Mexican and I think thats pretty accurate. That said, while TLT does modern Mexican well, I was hoping for something more authentic-feeling from a place born from a food truck. I had the Cali burrito with steak, as recommended, and I found the rice a little lime-heavy, and the pico de gallo a little too sweet, but overall still enjoyable. The carne asada was good, and the tortilla was nice and strong.

I hired this truck for an event for my cousins surprise 30th! The truck came early and helped with the surprise, they also worked with us on dietary restrictions, and helped with our gluten free and vegan menu items. The food was so incredible, and we were all full! I definitely recommend the truck for any one looking to host a great event, and does not want to do any of the clean up! The truck came, fed everyone, and drove off with all the mess! I would recommend The Lime Truck to anyone looking for incredible catering.

Review №49

2019-07-03 04:37:53

The food was great! I had the potato taco, very good! Chips and guac, good! The medium hot sauce is flavorful and addicting, just like they said it would be. Definitely will be back!

I went to a wedding recently with the lime truck doing the food. I was absolutely blown away!! I am vegan, and never get to eat at weddings due to meet or fish only options. Not only did the lime truck have options for me, but the food quality was soooo good. Everything was fresh and full of flavors I have never had together before. Absolutely excellent. Refreshing, and savory and healthy- I was in awe. Definitely a fan. Thank you Lime Truck!!!!

Review №51

2020-08-11 05:48:38

This place is still a go to spot if you are a steak fries fan. The whole mexican asian fusion thats in this mix has loads of flavor. Besides the hanger steak having a delicious marinade, the chimichurri, thai slaw, and fried wontons give it the next level flavor. This place is still open even though the whole pandemic has westwood village looking like a ghost town. Its not like before, but Im glad this place is still surviving.

Review №52

2017-02-05 19:00:46

Extremely high quality ingredients at a decent price. Recommend their taco tuesday $3 tacos. The ahi tuna taco is one of their best if you like tuna. Also, if you branch out from the tacos, their menu has a lot to offer and everything Ive tried there has been phenomenal!!

2020-01-09 22:52:28

The Lime Truck is amazing! We had them come to our office and they fed over 50 people quicker than any foodtruck we have used in the past. Every employee commented on how good there food was and went back for seconds and thirds! We will definitely be hiring The Lime Truck again for corporate and personal events.

Review №54

2014-04-07 06:22:03

I like their tacos, but I think they are a bit on the expensive side at least at their brick and mortar joint in Westwood. There is no shortage of tacos in Los Angeles, and the lime truck has obviously had a successful foray into that market. I just dont know if there is enough about theirs that would cause me to consistently choose their tacos over the gazillion other taco options.

Review №55

2019-01-07 17:42:36

The green rice bowl is FANTASTIC! You pick your protein to add and everything Ive tried so far is great, from the carnitas to the tofu. The brussel sprouts are rockin and the udon noodles are chillin. Love this place. They have something for everyone and I love the fusion mix of asian and latin dishes.The green sauce is yummo too!

Review №56

2018-10-31 20:17:48

Ordered the chimi bowl with short rib. The beef was lukewarm, udon noodles were cold. Theres a chance they were supposed to be served like that, but I wasnt feeling it. Ill give them another try one day and see if another item on the menu is more uniform with the temperature.

OVERPRICED. Went there recently for lunch with a friend. I got the cheese enchilada she got some kind of bowl. The cost for 2 orders and 1 drink was $32--WAY too much for what we got. And they wanted a tip! NO. But its Spectrum--everything is overpriced!

Review №61

2020-08-26 18:18:42

The food here is alright, but the experience is bad. The food is overpriced and customization is strictly prohibited. The servers seem overly stingy about extra condiments, even acting as if ketchup is a strange request with an order of fries. Not a great restaurant and not worth your time or money.

We hired The Lime Truck for a Grand Opening with 750 guests. Their food was a hit, great quality and friendly service. As an event producer managing 25+ vendors at the event, it was a good feeling to know we were in good hands. Special shout out to Patrick who took great care of us every step of the way and went above and beyond to help us get our events beer garden set up when we were in a bind.

One of my all time favorite restaurants. Food is so flavorful, and generous portions. I am yet to try something and not like it, but the steak fries are my favorite.

I didnt realize it was The Lime Truck until my friend told me about it.Modern decor, easy to read menu, and the food comes out fairly quick! I would recommend coming on their $3 Taco Tuesdays!-- Pork Belly Nachos : Overall tasty but not enough pork belly!-- Carnitas Fries : Nice crispy fries. Juicy carnitas. Cool sour cream and avocado mixture. Good to share!-- Ahi Tuna Taco : This was only OK for me. Modest amount of ahi tuna chunks.-- Shortrib Taco : Their shortrib is good! It would be the favorite taco choice for me.-- Pork Belly Taco: A little too chewy and fatty.-- Sweet & Spicy Steak Taco: My 2nd favorite taco choice. Has dots of sriracha.-- Short Rib Sliders: The short rib meat is good but would prefer the taco format.-- Blueberry Bliss Limeade : Extremely tart if thats your thing. Has blueberry, strawberry, white peach notes.-- Tropical Limeade : A little too sweet for me but still tasted delicious.-- Lime Panna Cotta : YUM. I love panna cotta. Their version is nice and tart. Easy to share.Also, grab a Belly card so that you can check in for points each time. I checked in 3 times and got a free limeade but you can save up for more goodies.

The noodles are 🔥... delicious from beginning to end. If you cant handle the spice, order it on the side... sucks because flavor of spice is good, but to hot for me

I will never look at lime in the same way!I had a chance to try couple of top-sellers of TLT. My personal favorite was the spicy and sweet taco. The steak was so tender and juicy. The wonton strips made for a fun crunch. My second favorite of the night was chimi noodles. The noodles simmered in a lime-like sauce with pork belly mixed well together. The pork belly was just so tender, I also liked that there was a slight kick.A honorable mention included the cauliflower cerviche. It included chopped-up cauliflower, avocado, lime, red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño mixed together made for a refreshing taste. This made a great dip with chips.

Too many non mex options for a cal mex place. Bowls were pretty carb heavy but decent flavors though. Could definitely do better for the price range.

Excellent poke bowl! Staff was super nice and they had a handful of craft beers on tap. They even let me substitute the green rice for spring veggie mix! :)

Messy quesadilla but good flavors. The cauliflover ceviche was more like a salsa but it was excellent! The name is completely forgettable tho and would never remeber it if google wasnt tracking my every move...

My brother recently hired this truck to provide catering at this wedding. While the food was good while people were inside the employees walked up to the beer keg took several of our personalized cups and filled them with beer and took them back to the truck. We also hired one of there people to act as a server and she never left the inside of the truck. Will not work with again.

Somebodys got a case of the Mondays! I love Mondays, said no one ever, but having a VIP event on a Monday makes it a lot better. Oh that and Monday Night Football. You down with TLT? Yeah, you know me! So I learned that TLT are the letters for The Lime Truck. Im such a noob! I still have not tried The Lime Truck until today. Its strange because the truck has showed up outside of my apartment and workplace many times, but I was always out sick or traveling when this happened. I promise I was not avoiding you TLT. I finally popped my TLT cherry! :)Thank you TLT for such a great event. This is better than happy hour with beer and spiked Limeade! I am glad that I was able to sample this place because I was looking for a fast casual food restaurant for a pre-movie dinner at the Irvine Spectrum. Stupid food court is closed and I dont always have 2 or 3 hours to wait for a larger restaurant such as Yard House or Cheesecake Factory.Here are few items we got to enjoy:Califlower Ceviche with chips- I know there is no meat in here but this stuff is the shiznit. It doesnt taste like ceviche to me without fish or shrimp, but its like a delicious salsa substitute.Braised pork with noodles- believe me that Im making the Homer Simpsons salivation face. I will be coming back for more of this.Lamb Slider- good stuff!Short Rib Quesadilla Wedges- not a fan of most quesadilla but you had me at rib meat.Pork Belly Nachos- not explanation needed. So good, but getting full at this point.Lime Panna Cotta- a great desert to clean the palate.

This place is underrated and should be some hole in the wall that you have to go find. I tried everything and it left me liking my fingers. The only reason they dont get five stars is because of its lack of drink choices and its mall location.

BEWARE. We had to postpone our wedding and all associated events due to COVID. The Lime Truck is the ONLY VENDOR that was unwilling to let us move our deposit (50% of the total cost!) to a new date, even though we gave notice more than a month in advance. Will never try to work with them again.

TLT Food originated from Lime Food Truck.They had been going everywhere to introduce their pork belly taocs and then after their foods were familar with a lot of people.Finally they have opened their own restaurants.They have been used Familiar Marketing.Try to eat PBAT Sandwich included Braised pork belly and pork belly taco.Those are really tasty.*. Familiar Marketing:One guy who has been operating Okonomiyaki(Japanese style Pizza) Restaurant wanted to promote his restaurant and his menu but operation was not good.He tried to use buy one, get one free method and hired young waitress etc., but business was slack.One day, he ran into one delivery man andthen he realized how he can markethis restaurant well.He has tried to put his restaurantname and menu on his delivery boxes and then he has been wandering aroundcrowded places.After that many peoplerecognized his restaurantname and menu and get familarwith that menu and restaurant.People have started to thinkthat restaurant is veryfamos and popular becausethey can see delivery manevery day and many crowded places.After that, many people have been visitingthat restaurant and then he can open manybranches in Japan.We can call it Familiar Marketinglike Effel Tower effect.*Okonomiyaki is a Japanese savoury pancake containing a variety of ingredients. The name is derived from the word okonomi, meaning what you like or what you want, and yaki meaning grilled or cooked.-Wikipedia-
