About Loco Lime

Inside the Dolphin Shopping Centre on Gervis Pl, Loco Lime is a Mexican restaurant built around four hand-cooked braises, braised beef brisket and short rib, braised chipotle chicken, grilled adobo halloumi and pan roasted portobello mushroom, served as birria tacos, burritos, rice bowls, nachos and loaded fries. A lunchtime meal deal runs midday through mid-afternoon on weekdays, pairing two birria tacos with fries, a dip and a drink. Other recurring plates include quesadillas with double cheese, halloumi loaded fries and piri piri fries, alongside sides of guacamole and Mexican cheese sauce. Orders are taken on a walk-in basis with no reservations. The restaurant opens Tuesday to Sunday and closes on Mondays. Dogs are allowed inside.

Customer Review Summary

Quesadillas draw the most praise, with reviewers calling the double cheese version among the best they've had and singling out beef quesadillas paired with piri piri fries as delicious. Close behind, birria tacos feature heavily, including the lunchtime Birria Taco Meal Deal of two tacos, fries, dip and drink, and a mixed order of tacos, quesadilla and halloumi loaded fries praised for flavour and quality. Several describe the beef and ingredients as authentic and well prepared, with attentive, welcoming service even near closing time. Complaints center on delivery orders: one reviewer's burrito arrived cold with missing beans, sour cream and only a scraping of guacamole, while another found their beef burrito bland with minimal ingredients and a piece of wood in the food. A separate delivery customer, ordering a dairy-free version for a lactose-intolerant diner, received unlabeled boxes and couldn't tell which was safe to eat.

    “possibly the best quesadillas this side of Mexico. I had the double cheese one & sides of guacamole & Mexican cheese sauce were superb. I rate it 10/10”

    “I have been coming to Loco Lime since they started here and I can confidently say that the quality and flavour of their food is amazing. Personally, it is my favourite place to get mexican food and would highly recommend for anyone looking for something exceptional in the Bournemouth area. Also fire music too.”

    “Amazing food and wonderful service! The staff were so friendly and welcoming. We arrived just before closing time, and they were still kind enough to let us order without making us feel rushed. The food was absolutely amazing and really delicious! I truly appreciate the great hospitality and would definitely come back again. Highly recommend this place!”

    “Just received an order with a bit of everything, one of each flavour taco, quesadilla and halloumi loaded fries. It was all absolutely delicious, super flavourful and amazing quality food! I will 100% order again and recommend.”
  • David Mackenzie
    “I had high hopes of this place, after reading some good reviews. Unfortunately, I think this place is very overrated and overpriced. I ordered a beef burrito, and I found it to be quite bland in flavour, aswell as minimal ingredients, except the rice. I also had the misfortune of finding a small piece of wood in my food. The service was not welcoming either, making me feel like they were doing me a favour.”
