Lime Cilantro Temporarily Closed After Unfortunate Circumstance

Lime & Cilantro confirmed its temporary closure via an Instagram message, citing an "unfortunate circumstance. " Opened by former Art and Soul executive chef Danny Chavez, the restaurant is located in Montgomery Hills and focuses on modern Latin cuisine. The establishment has not provided a reopening timeline but promised to keep patrons informed on its status. Earlier this year, Lime & Cilantro was featured on WETA's "Signature Dish," showcasing dishes like the Braised Short Rib Mole. This closure follows a notable rise in popularity after its television appearance, which may affect its customer engagement.

The restaurant has become a local favorite since opening last year in the former location of Krazy Steve’s Comfort Cuisine and Armand’s Chicago Pizzeria. Community members are likely to feel the impact of this temporary closure on local dining options. The restaurant's future reopening is crucial for maintaining its growing reputation in the area.
