Everyone loved the food!

My husband and my favorite food are tacos, so we know that's what we wanted at our wedding and The Lime Truck delivered! All our guests raved about how good and plentiful the food was. We couldn't have asked for better.

Uh-mazing!

If you’re looking for elevated Mexican food, look no further than The Lime Truck. TLT was absolutely FANTASTIC-- a complete joy to work with!! Before the event we worked with Ethan who was communicative, organized, and quick to make things happen. We were planning a wedding in two months time and this was not a problem at all. The day of the event the truck arrived promptly and was able to turn out delicious food for 150 people with no problem. We had a buffet and people moved through the line quickly-- no back up at any point. All night long (and still weeks after!) people RAVED about how incredible the food was. I cannot recommend The Lime Truck highly enough.

Food to die for!

Not only was the team at The Lime Truck easy to work with and super helpful in selecting our menu, but they are by far the best wedding food I've ever had. Oh, also, the best wedding food ALL OF OUR GUESTS have ever had. I think every single one of our forty guests came up to tell us that.

I would recommend them to anyone as the best option to cater your wedding. The food is to die for.

I can't express how amazing and wonderful the food was. But even before the wedding, Therese was amazing and so supportive and helpful in helping us figure out our menu and everything we needed. Our guests loved every bite, especially the pork belly bite appetizers that didn't even make it into the cocktail area because people were waiting for them to come off the truck!!!!! Amazing!!!!

I LOVED working with Daniel and Therese! They were incredible to work with. I immediately got a response from the inquiry, he listened to our budget concerns and set up a meeting immediately.

The food was INCREDIBLE!! Everyone was happy with what they had, I had several guests comment about how it was the best wedding food they've ever had, and many friends trying to replicate their cauliflower ceviche.

There was a snafu with the plating and getting food out on time, but I didn't know anything about that till the next day. Daniel was a total professional about it, I'd recommend his service to anyone!!

Do Not Work With Them

Do not trust the Lime Truck for your event. I worked with Ethan at The Lime Truck for two years to ensure that our wedding catering would be a success. We booked two trucks, appetizers, and food for 170 people. They promised me that they had emergency plans in place and that all the details were finalized. 30 minutes before I walked down the aisle, I was told that the second truck wouldn't be showing up because of an emergency. While Ethan told me that their two trucks could serve 80 in 30 minutes, it took my guests over an hour and a half to get their first helping of the tacos (we booked unlimited) and some of my friends didn't even get to eat at our wedding (thank God we had planned late night food that saved the day from a caterer). While it was kind of their president to apologize to me for our experience two weeks after the event and for the partial refund, I'm leaving this review to make sure no one makes the same mistake that we did. If they could figure out their business practices, not overbook or over promise, the tacos are actually delicious. Sadly, this is the one part of our wedding I will hope to forget.

Experience could not have been worse

Let me be clear in saying that I do not give a 1 star review to The Lime Truck lightly. Let me also say that my fiancé and I tirelessly researched our catering options and ultimately landed on TLT due to their solid reviews, the style of food, and the passion that our catering contact, Jay, exuded about The Lime Truck - how we'd be thrilled with their services should we choose to proceed. We went ahead and secured our place with The Lime Truck back in January 2018 for our 9/15/2018 wedding in Joshua tree which has now come & gone. I'll give a detailed account of what happened below - but as a high level summary, we would HIGHLY SUGGEST NOT BOOKING THEM FOR YOUR WEDDING. Our food service was a disaster.

We thought we'd have the best wedding food of all time and couldn't wait for our guests to try our selected menu -- salads and tacos along with pico de gallo and chips, along with several delicious passed appetizers at cocktail hour. Unfortunately, some of our guests never even got to try all of our food.

Throughout the course of the 9 or so months leading up to the wedding, I tasted the flood at TLT Food in Westwood twice, exchanged probably 100 emails with our catering coordinator at The Lime Truck, and had no less than 5 or 6 calls with The Lime Truck team and my wedding planner. These calls were to discuss the timing of dinner, to ensure we had an appropriate menu, to talk through the execution of our desired menu served family style and to ensure that our guests with allergies were properly accounted for. We were incredibly clear, both over the phone and in writing, about all relevant details. The plan was that the evening would kick off with four unlimited apps tray passed during cocktail hour. Soon after, dinner would be served. Leading with fresh chips & pico, our dinner would follow the set menu we selected concluding with time for guests to go up to the truck for seconds of any of the dishes that they wanted to try more of. The truck would then close by 8:00 PM.

Throughout our calls, we were assured constantly that this was TLT's specialty. The Lime Truck team are experts at these events and their execution of our family style dinner would be flawless. That the food would be freshly made and served in a timely fashion. They made us feel a bit overbearing for wanting to discuss/confirm the details so many times.

It felt like things were starting to go off the rails in the two weeks leading up to wedding. We had a call to talk logistics and the truck manager dropped the call halfway through. We were assured that our messages would be passed to him, but seems that never happened and Daniel never once followed up directly. We had 11 guest with food allergies so this was a significant concern for us. Rather than coming up with a plan to address, my planner had to send a plan to The Lime Truck team. The CEO was even CCed on some of these emails!

Come the day of the wedding, TLT decided to send our food truck with HALF OF THE SCHEDULED STAFF! Insane considering how far in advance we booked. How could they not properly staff up for a wedding of 125? The result of this understaffing was maybe three trays of passed apps the entire cocktail hour (how embarrassing). Followed by EMPTY plates until about 8:00 PM when our guests finally started to get their food. The salad was completely dry - it looked like someone simply threw bagged lettuce on a plate. So much for "waldorf" - there were grapes just randomly thrown in. It was truly terrible. The chimichurri noodles were bland. Most tables did not receive pico de gallo with their chips and those that did got a bowl for 10 people that was the size of a ketchup cup. By the end of the night, some people had not even received every menu item.

Aside from not being fed, this meant that my amazing wedding planner and our awesome DJ had to basically scrap our original timeline to make up for the fact that guests had no food to eat. Two of the servers that WE HIRED had to jump in the truck to help prep food. We had to pay servers overtime to stay and help. We had to order $300 worth of pizza for our vendors who were never able to eat the food that the truck prepared because the guests hadn't even been fed. We were also told that the truck would have a fun lime green canvas cover with the name of the truck on it - instead it was a plain black & white truck that pulled up.

My parents sent an apology email to our guests after the wedding because it was just truly embarrassing and completely abysmal service. We had extensive conversations afterwards with the CEO, who was incredibly apologetic, but honestly, your wedding day comes once in your life and what they did was inexcusable. Thus, I write this 1 star review to all couples considering The Lime Truck because honestly, even if they get it right 90% of the time, no one should have to endure the stress of not feeding their wedding guests -- guests who, by the way, in our situation travelled to Joshua Tree from places around the world!
We're all about trust. Our community relies on honest reviews to help you make those big decisions with ease.
