What to Eat at Loca Lime Restaurant How we choose these items We use AI to find praise and criticism of specific foods and drinks in a selection of Google reviews. For Loca Lime Restaurant, this list is based on 50 reviews, not every review of the restaurant. The score is positive reviews minus negative reviews. For example, two positive reviews and one negative review give +1. Each review counts once per item; neutral comments do not change the score. A zero score is not a positive recommendation. “Only neutral feedback” means there are no positive or negative votes. “Mixed feedback” means equal numbers of positive and negative votes. The quotes are examples of what people said, not every comment we counted. We use different reviews where we can. We normally show up to 10 foods and 5 drinks with non-negative scores. Items with the same score stay together. If a tied group would go past the limit, that group and the lower non-negative scores go into Honorable mentions. If an overflowing positive top tie would leave the list empty, we show up to 10 items from that tie and keep the rest in Honorable mentions. Foods and drinks with a negative score are under What to Avoid. Use this as a guide to what reviewers liked, not a guarantee that you will like it too.
Foods and drinks mentioned in reviews of Loca Lime Restaurant, ranked by positive reviews minus negative reviews. Zero-score items have no net positive feedback; their labels distinguish neutral-only from mixed feedback.

Use parking. If driving, use the mall parking; a reviewer described it as convenient and the restaurant easy to find.
Try burgers. For a first order, consider the Dubai burger or mini tacos, which received specific recommendations.
Ask coffee size. If ordering coffee, ask about cup size: one reviewer suggested increasing it.

The Bottom Line
Loca Lime is a Mexican- and Latin-style restaurant and coffee spot in Mirdif. You can come for breakfast, burgers, tacos, coffee or lighter dishes, with the Dubai burger, mini tacos, hard-shell tacos and V60 coffee all receiving specific positive mentions. The Spanish-influenced decor, music and tall windows give it a relaxed setting that some guests use for studying or working.
Breakfast has loyal fans, and some reviews describe hot food arriving quickly with friendly service. Coffee choices mentioned include Spanish latte, matcha latte and V60, while the pistachio cake, avocado toast and acai also appear in positive feedback. Mall parking was described as convenient.
The experience is uneven, however. Several diners waited 50 to 60 minutes or longer for food, drinks or even basic table items, and one breakfast visit took almost an hour in an almost empty restaurant. Other complaints include bland burritos and tacos, dry chicken, burnt food and portions that felt small for the price.
One review put dishes at 45 to 70 Dhs each, though this is not a current price list. Noise from the open kitchen and poor acoustics may matter if you want a quiet meal. Most importantly, a review posted on 9 August 2025 says the restaurant was closed, so verify its operating status before visiting.
