Winter Park Village Restaurant Lime

Lime Winter Park Colorado

We have been hearing some grumblings up here in Winter Park that the restaurant Lime in the Winter Park Village is not going to open back up for this ski season.  The whispers have been saying that there are liens placed against the property from restaurant construction and that the rent is passed due.  Hope the rumors are not true but since we are hearing specifics I think that they just may be.

Lime opened as one of the first two restaurants in the Winter Park Village along with the Cheeky Monk this past February.  The times we dined or drank at Lime the offerings were  good, especially their $1 taco Tuesday promotion.  Margaritas were also very good and the happy hour was a good deal.  Problems I saw were with the cold/heat and a lack of a vestibule when entering the restaurant and service was darn slow on a few weekends this summer.  The design of the open kitchen was probably not the greatest idea either for a down and dirty Mexican food eatery.

Anywho, I will miss the Pacifico and tequila shot after a long day on the slopes.

Anyone else hearing the grumblings about Lime, Winter Park?  Any word of a replacement eatery?  Let us know in the comments below.

Local Favorite – Mirasol Cantina

I just gotta brag a bit about my boyfriend Paul’s restaurant, the Mirasol Cantina, in downtown Winter Park. I stop by a few times a week on my walk home from work and get hooked up with yummy taco dinners all the time, and seriously, I never get tired of it. The locals of Winter Park and Fraser love this place, so even though I usually pop in by myself, I’m never alone. I just slide up to the bar, where I am bound to find some friends, and sip on the best mojito I’ve ever had (every time).

I usually get a tuna ceviche taco, the roasted veggie with fresh hummus, or a fried tilapia with the spicy tartar. My favorite shell is the lettuce shell, but you can get a soft flour or crispy corn shell, too. So goooood. When I’m really hungry, I order the massive burrito smothered in green chile and cheese. Aptly named the “Big One,” this giant burrito has got to be four pounds. He’s going to weigh it for me tonight, so I’ll let you know :) .

I just talked Paul into giving Winter Park Lodging by Owners guests 15% off their total bill, whoop, whoop! Just mention Winter Park Lodging by Owner, or print out a coupon. Say hi for me. You might just see me there, too!
