Not that bad here....a bag of "Key" limes, about 40 of them and preferable in all respects to Persian limes, had gone up to $2.50. Usual (pre-hijacking by drug cartels in Michoacan), a bag sales from $1.25>$1.75.
Rarely encountered but still good in "Parrilladas", Mexican/TexMex restaurants specializing in grilled meats, potato "sticks" briefly marinated in a mixture of red chile salsa and fresh lime juice then deep fried. I've recently seen a similar usage, tossing fried chicken wings in a Chili/lime sauce.
