Lime Fresh Mexican Grill Closes in Midtown

The restaurant changeover at the corner of Peachtree and 8th streets continues as Lime Fresh Mexican Grill has shuttered its doors less than 14 months after opening in the space that formally occupied The Bake Shop at 903 Peachtree.

A sign posted on the door announced the closing of the Florida-based fast-casual Mexican concept that opened for business in late March 2012. According to some on Twitter Monday, the sudden closing caught employees by surprise.

It marks the second closure for a Lime Fresh in the metro area after the Peachtree Hills location closed in January.

The Buckhead location in the former Johnny Rockets space near West Paces Ferry Road and Peachtree remains open.

Last month, Villains Wicked Heroes opened next door to Lime Fresh in the former Little Azio space at 903 Peachtree. Little Azio signage is still present on the property.

Across the street, La Tagliatella opened for business in late December in the former Silk restaurant space at the Shops at Metropolis at 919 Peachtree St.
