Lima Fresca Taco & Tequila Bar — Restaurant in Woodridge

A Birthday Celebration Filled with Family, Flavor, and Culture at Lima Fresca

My recent visit to Lima Fresca in Woodridge for a daddy-daughter birthday celebration was unforgettable, and the experience was enriched by the beautiful blend of Mexican family culture that the restaurant embodies. I was joined by my three adult daughters, and the warmth of the evening felt like an authentic Mexican family gathering—a time to celebrate, connect, and enjoy great food together.

From the moment we walked in, we were embraced by the lively, welcoming atmosphere. Our server was incredibly friendly and efficient, making us feel right at home, much like the hospitality found in Mexican households where family gatherings and celebrations are central to life.

The meal began with chips and salsa, both fresh and flavorful, setting the tone for a night filled with great food. Mexican culture is known for its colorful, festive celebrations, and this spirit was reflected in the incredible selection of margaritas—each one bursting with bold flavors, much like a celebration in a glass!

The food was exceptional, with a focus on quality that is deeply rooted in Mexican tradition. And just like in Mexican culture, where no family meal is complete without something sweet, the desserts were a highlight. The chocolate-filled churros were perfection, and the fried ice cream added that extra touch of indulgence. It was a reminder of the joy found in sharing a great meal and celebrating together.

For the exceptional quality and authentic experience, the pricing was more than reasonable. Lima Fresca doesn’t just serve food—it offers a taste of Mexican family life, where every meal is a celebration of love, family, and culture. We will absolutely be...

We tried Lima Fresca for the first time last week. I thought it was more a fast food type place like Chipotle. Wrong! I was pleasantly surprised. The service was great...thanks Nick! The food was fresh, delicious and full of flavor. We found a new place to go for Mexican food. Complimentary chips and salsa came to the table. My husband had a margarita and said it was good. We started out sharing the mahi mahi & shrimp ceviche. It wasn't my favorite because the fish was diced small and it wasn't as flavorful as the other food we ordered. I would skip that next time. I had the camarones a la diablo (shrimp skewers). This was full of flavor and very good. I asked for the sauce on the side since it had a little heat. My husband had the enchiladas de barbacoa with rice and beans. Again, this was very good and the beans were yummy. We both took half our dinner home. Great portions. Will definitely be back to dine here again. Was a nice surprise to find out it wasn't a...

The worst dining experience I ever encountered on 06/27/23. (Kali ) the waitress is clearly prejudice toward African Americans. She is insulting, rude, and disrespectful with a nasty attitude. From the time that she approached our table my daughter and I saw that Kali had an attitude. We had to ask other servers for other items. She clearly wasn't serving us.

Upon paying for our bill. I left a tip of 10%. She clearly was unhappy. She approached our table and stated she make $2 an hour and deserve a better tip. She asked my daughter and I "are we from here ? She caused a scene and became very biligerent stating that her service deserved more than a 10% tip. I tip based on the service I receive. I should have gave a penny for her to buy a new attitude. Very poor representation of Lima Fresca. African Americans when you dine ask for a different waitress or spend your hard earned money that you work for elsewhere to receive a better dining experience...
