Good stuff! Lime is a small restaurant in Main Strasse Covington that boasts fresh burritos. Really fresh tasting food near my work always grabs my attention. I stopped in on a Saturday for a burrito and chips. They have a few bar height tables for you to sit at.
I was greeted immediately with warmth by the woman making the burritos. She asked me if I lived in the neighborhood while she made my burrito.
I ordered the braised beef burrito which came with mango salsa, black beans, cheese, cilantro lime rice and chipotle sour cream. It was very, very tasty. The sweetness of the mango salsa went really well with the tender bits of beef.
Each type of burrito has it's own complimenting salsa and sour cream. They have a delightful vegetarian burrito with tofu which can easily be made vegan. (good news for the ravenous vegans I know!) I also ordered an iced tea which they brew with mint. Very refreshing!
I tried their chips and salsa, the chips were warm but did not immediately strike me as house made, maybe they are, maybe they aren't. The guacamole with the chips was very good. I like mine a bit creamier though, there's was more on the chunky side with bits of tomato.
Parking can be kind of an issue because it's street parking or if you can find a space in the lot across the street next to Bouquet. I parked, perhaps illegally, in the old Skyline lot.
They said that in the future they want to be open on Sundays but can't do it right now.
This is a welcome addition to Covington in general and certainly for my lunch options. They are open until 3am on Fridays and Saturdays ensuring that no person who goes pub crawling in Main Strasse will be without delicious booze-soaking food before they turn into bed.
All in all it was a pretty good meal for $11.
