When we started The Lime Food Truck back in 2010, we never imagined we would still be serving up our signature elevated Cali-Mex cuisine a year (or even a month) later. So after being in business for a decade, The Lime Truck’s mission evolved in a big way. We started to get to know our farmers and made a commitment to serving an ethically sourced menu using only premium ingredients that enrich the lives of our community and our customers.
