Review of Local Lime

Not allergy friendly, most of the menu has dairy that is not obvious or listed such as dairy in the black beans and the cilantro lime rice. All meat is marinated ahead of time so there is no way to make sure it is free from other allergens. I asked to make sure there was nothing on the salmon, asked if it was cooked in anything, I was told no, just oil (only for those that request dairy free, otherwise it is cooked in butter), it came out clearly cooked with seasonings, the manager was able to get me a list of the ingredients for the marinade and seasonings, I was unable to eat.

It is likely good I didn't eat, they do not seem celiac friendly since they make their own flour tortillas in house each day. The waiter sounded really unsure about the tortilla chips being gluten free, I couldn't quite understand what he was saying, said there might be cross contamination and there wasn't a dedicated fryer, I pointed out that the menu said the corn tortilla chips were cooked in a dedicated fryer and he said they were upon request, it was very confusing how he was saying things and didn't instill confidence.

My family seemed to like the food okay though no one was raving about it. The portions are fairly small and the prices are high but everything is made fresh in house so I suppose it is warranted. It's not a place I'd particularly suggest to others, esp if they have multiple allergies.
