Lime Taqueria

It would be easy to focus simply on the word 'taqueria' in regard to Lime Taqueria, a pretty new restaurant opened in West Village Place, the newly minted mix-used complex just outside the perimeter in Smyrna. Lime doesn’t look like a taqueria, and the menu is clearly one that goes beyond small tacos. Blimey, Lime isn’t a taqueria at all. First, there’s the digs, and that starts with limes. Big, ceramic slices of them line the partition that separates the bar from the dining room, like a funky lime romper room. The candlelit tables are flanked with a couple of palm trees, the walls bathed in bright green and yellow, giving the room a breezy, but sophisticated feel. (Full review)
