Salt and Lime

My boyfriend and I decided to order food here during the centennial celebration for the San Diego Zoo at Balboa Park. Long story short, we waited in line for an hour and a half for an over priced corn in a cup because everything else was way too over priced for the size of the food we saw coming out.
So the long story is we waited in line and once we got closer to ordering we found out that they were constantly not passing their food inspections so they stopped orders. So we decided not to order any sort of meal or main course and just settle for a corn in the cup. I stayed in line while my boyfriend waited in line for the burger food truck next to us for a meal and he came out with our food before I got the corn in a cup.
It was overall a disappointing experience but I’m sure on any other day the wait would not be so long. I guess we just picked the wrong line to wait in. But the upside is the corn was good.

We had Salt and Lime come out to our first Food Truck Friday event at our office in April. We have a large office and a lot of hungry people. They came out and did a banging job with cranking the food out a quick as they could. I did inform them that we would have a good amount of people, but we ate all of their food. To try to keep up with the orders, they sent someone to the store to get more meat. I recommend their surf and turf burrito… thinking about it it is making me hungry right now.
Thanks for coming out guys, you did a great job!

The truck was scheduled to come to our apartment complex last night from 5:30 to 8:00 my understanding is they showed up late. I went down at 7 and there was probably 10 people waiting on their food and was told by someone working the truck that they were closed because they had ran out of a lot of stuff. How does that happen when you still have an hour left? Very disappointed was really looking forward to trying their food. Perhaps better planning is in order like restocking the truck before you arrive at a place.

Wanted to give them a 5 star review because they have the best food truck tacos in San Diego, but whenever they come to my work they bail an hour before their website says they will. (Waples Street).
So be warned their website may say till 2pm but be safe and get there before 1230pm if you really want these tacos. I dont understand why they would think people only grab lunch before 1230pm. 1pm is standard lunch for a lot of people I work with.
Anyways great tacos. Some of the best around worth the price. Just wish they would wait around longer.

I hired the food truck for a Spring Festival/​College event. They were on time, on point and extremely customer service oriented. They were able to meet my long list of dietary restrictions and then some… The food was amazing! I’m Hispanic and I know GOOD Mexican food. The tacos were the BEST I’ve ever had. I’m a FOODIE, and have been in this business for 17 yrs. I’ve hired many different caterers, food trucks and restaurants at my events. However, no one out there tops the taste, flavor and service of this taco truck…

I ordered the chicken bowl with rice, pickled onions and guacamole. While the chicken had good flavor, it was SUPER dry and tasted almost burned. I probably wouldn’t order this again.

When my wife and I were planning for our wedding, the one thing we both knew was that we wanted tacos. After trying countless tacos at various taco trucks around San Diego, and Orange county, we finally decided on Salt and Lime.
When I first emailed Jose telling him I was interested in having a taco truck for my wedding he called me back about 2 minutes after I sent the email. He was very friendly and super helpful, which made me feel better, as I had never ordered food for a hundred people. We made an appointment to come and try the tacos. When we arrived there was already a line of people waiting for lunch. Good signs. We tried all the tacos and the ceviche, and they were all so good we knew we had found our taco truck.
As often happens with weddings, our list grew and shrunk multiple times and since I was in charge of food, I was texting Jose often with nonsensical questions. He was very patient with me and never came across as anything other than excited to be a part of our wedding.
On the day of the wedding, I called Jose and asked if he could show up 30 minutes early. He said no problem. Sure enough, him and all the guys were there early. They set up and everything went perfectly. The guests loved food and they loved having a taco truck to order from when they were hungry as opposed to waiting for a plate of airplane food. Jose also brought servers, so that the guests who didn’t want to get up could have food brought to them.
Overall the experience was a 10 of 10. I normally don’t write reviews because Im grumpy and hard to please, but Salt and Lime and co deserve it. Finally, I heard from multiple unrelated individuals that the ceviche was the best they had ever had. So you might want to put it on the short list.

Salt and Lime is a food truck known for their modern Mexican cuisine.
I ordered the following:
— Carne Asada Taco — marinated steak, guacamole, pickled onions, pico de gallo
— QuesiTaco — marinated steak wrapped in chicharron de queso, chipotle sauce, avocado, pickled onions
— Taco Mi-​Rey Taco — grilled shrimp, bacon, chicharron de queso, green cabbage, pickled onions, chipotle sauce
YUMMY! I love Executive Chef Julio Rodriguez. Baja Style Cuisine, yeah! ENJOY!

Seriously, the best shrimp tacos I’ve ever had. We saw their truck and my friend shouts TACOS! Boy, I should’ve gotten the tacos (i got a burrito). But she was the smart one.

YO get their Mi-​Ray tacos. Stop questioning me and just do it
They’re awesome and friendly, definitely worth your time

Honestly, these are some of the best tacos I’ve had in a very long time. I got the taco trio and each choice was amazing. I’m sad that I didn’t get the California burrito. It looked soooooo good. I gotta get that next time. They also have homemade salsas available. All super flavorful. Better than most salsas I’ve had. I have to go to this truck next time I’m in San Diego.

We used the Salt and Lime food truck for our wedding rehearsal dinner at Shelter Island in April 2016 and served about 90 guests. We loved it! From the very start, Jose was easy to work with, we were able to meet in person, and his team was very quick on response time via e-​mail and phone. The food was delicious, and the service was great! I loved the ceviche appetizer — spicy and yummy! We had a choice of 3 tacos as the main dinner, then the Nutella chimichangas were the dessert (so good!). All of our guests had a great time, and we had so many compliments on the event. I would highly recommend this food truck for any event!

I stopped by their food truck for lunch in Carmel Valley. There was no wait and I had my food in less than 5 minutes.
The cactus salad was light and tasty with a little bit of a spicy kick from the pico de gallo and jalapeño. It paired well on the crunchy tostada.
The torta was nicely toasted and had an ample amount of chicken mixed with guacamole and salsa roja. It does need some extra hot sauce, as the sandwich alone is not all that spicy.
Solid food truck. I plan on trying some of their tacos next time.

I have only had Salt and Lime once, when they came to Pacific Brewing off of Miramar Rd. I normally do not eat off of food trucks, but the brewery was offering a beer and meal deal so I had a $ 10 voucher to use.
Salt and Lime is the best food truck I have eaten at to date. As someone who is health conscious, Salt and Lime (S&L) offers some of the best options I could have asked for. I ordered the bowl, which gives you your choice of protein, base, and toppings. I went with brown rice, chicken, and guac. Albeit simple, the flavors were immense, the chicken cooked to perfection, and the brown rice was not over cooked as I was initially expecting.
As a bonus, it took them roughly 3 minutes to get my bowl to me, and they offer a variety of hot sauces and of course, limes, with your meal. At $ 9, it was slightly on the pricey side, but you are paying for the convenience — I would certainly eat here again and look forward to my next encounter with S&L!

Absolute love this truck. Out of all the food trucks i’ve seen this has to be the prettiest one. The food is on another level than any other food truck. So authentic, so fresh, and so full of flavor. Love the fact that they have healthier food options. The Create Your Own Bowl section is my favorite. Hope to see more of them all around San Diego!

Amazing tacos and they are super fresh! Hope to catch them again. The al pastor and shrimp are my favorite. Definitely will be back. Wish they had a few chairs to sit at but it is a food truck. Check them out they are great.

Absolutely outstanding, artful masterpieces of tacos, burritos, and bowls. Inspired, all-​original menu with novel flavor combinations. They were the food truck for Pure Project Brewing’s grand opening and they nailed it. Excited to try them again in the near future.

Not sure why they are called ‘Salt and Lime’ but when tacos pull up right outside my office, methinks I’ll wander downstairs… Loved their Taco Trio option for $ 10. I did rethink getting three tacos though and opted for two for some reason instead (guess I felt like a fatty). I chose the Al Pastor and the Grilled Fish taco. Each taco was presented with a pinkish radish morsel on top. I soon found out this was a pickled onion… very different. I was also trying to figure it’s taste out, but I decided that I didn’t much care for it. The Al Pastor was also a bit weird and bland, and WHY put pineapple? I want a little bit of spice, not a splash of juicy sweetness. On a positive note, the fish was standard and tasted as it should have. These tacos were packed and by the time I was able to get them down, my belly was quite content. But, yes, as mentioned, they were a bit hard to get down because the taco tortilla seemed soggy. So much so that my tacos were falling apart.
In any case, I was well fed but a little turned off by some of the flavors. Probably should have added lime! Ah! So I figured it out then… need to add salt and lime to their tacos before consuming. Noted!

I finally was able to catch up to this Food Truck at the Grossmont Center Food Truck Gathering. They were just setting up when I arrived, so I had to wait a bit, but it gave a bit to chat it up with the employees a bit.
I ordered two tacos the al pastor with chicken. They do not offer pork as of yet but they advertise they put Chicharrón in the tacos. At $ 3.50, they did fortunately load each taco with chicken. The ‘Pollo al Pastor” was tender and had a very good initial pastor flavor. After a few bites, the pastor or abobo flavor begin to linger, which may just imply the chicken needed to be marinated longer. The chicken had very good coloring, including some nice charring.
They also added pineapple, pickled onions, and a dollop of guacamole on each taco which were all pretty good. A little more guacamole would of been nice. Even though I liked the Pollo al Pastor tacos, they did forget to put the cheese, I did not detect any Chicharrón de queso in either taco. I do not know whether they forgot or ran out, but I can see how those two components can make the tacos even better.
The small mishap was not enough to deter me from being a fan of this food truck’s eats and friendly and high energy service, not top mention there great senses of humor. Next time, don’t forget the cheese and that porky goodness!

Ordered the taco trio, which By far were the best tacos I’ve tasted so far in San Diego! I Decided to include the corn in the cup and that was also very delicious. The portion size and price was such a deal. Plus I got a free drink when I checked in!
P. s. You also get a hottie working the register ! Definitely a plus
