Lime Fresh Mexican Grill in Orlando, FL

I had lunch at Lime Fresh Mexican Grill in the Dr. Phillips/Restaurant Row neighborhood of Orlando. This Mexican chain has been in the area for a couple of years now, but I had not visited any of their locations until now. Unlike the other big burrito places, Lime had a set menu instead of the assembly line style of fast-food Mexican food that is done by Chipotle/Qdoba/Moe's.

I ordered the Lime Burrito. This consisted of a tortilla filled with chicken, refried beans, cheese, sour cream, and lettuce. The burrito was alright, although a bit forgettable. Nothing really stood out and for some reason the refried beans reminded me of a Taco Bell burrito. Other burritos on the menu did have black beans, but not this particular one. Nothing is wrong with refried beans, but it did have the Taco Bell connotation. The chips served on the side seemed a bit too hard and somewhat stale. Overall, the food burrito I tried at Lime Fresh Mexican Grill was alright for what it was, but I don't think I'll go rushing back to try them again anytime soon.

Lime Ice Cream from Treats on the Beach

I had some ice cream from Treats on the Beach on Flagler Avenue in New Smyrna Beach, FL. I ordered soft serve lime flavored ice cream. I'm not sure exactly how it worked, but they advertised something like twenty six soft serve flavors of ice cream. I only saw two soft ice cream machines, so I don't know where all of these flavors came from. I'm guessing they somehow mixed flavoring syrup in each time they dispensed the ice cream. The ice cream really didn't taste that much like lime and tasted more like vanilla. It was still good as far as soft serve ice cream goes...

Lunch in Freeport, New York

I ate lunch in Freeport, New York on Long Island. The restaurant that was decided upon was called Capt. Phil Ehrhart's. Being a beachy seaside town, I was hoping to eat some sort of seafood in Freeport. Capt. Phil Ehrhart's couldn't really provide that. They didn't seem to specialize in seafood all too much, but I picked out some coconut shrimp. They were unable to prepare them though due to lack of ingredents, so I ended up just going with a Caesar Salad. It was a good salad and there was nothing wrong with it. I just wasn't what I had in mind...

There was a nice view from the restaurant's deck of the nearby fishing boats. There was also a live band playing out here.



After eating lunch it was time for dessert from Ralph's Italian Ices. The Ralph's in Freeport was a short walk up the road from Capt. Phil Ehrhart's, and I tried lime and passion fruit water ices. The flavors themselves were good, but this Freeport Ralph's wasn't as good in general when compared to the Franklin Square Ralph's. A small ice here cost $0.25 more than the Franklin Square Ralph's. For the extra quarter, you received a smaller portion in a paper cup that quickly got soggy compared to a larger styrofoam cup. The ices were good, the rest of this Ralph's wasn't quite as good...
