I always ask for water with lime at Mexican restaurants so I can put it on the tortillas chips. Simple enough right, yet it's still a 50/50 chance I'll get a lemon. They must think I don't know what a lime is because I got a lemon. I ask two more times for a slice of lime...that's a total of 3 times I didn't get a slice of lime.

Fair enough, I don't get what I want you don't get what you want... :taun:

If you're speaking to a primarily spanish speaking person, lime and lemon have the same word for both. Try asking for a green lemon next time

I think I have not left tip twice in my life.. It was due to horrible service, but regardless, writing and signing that receipt was a difficult task..

I think pretty much every Non-Americanized Asian/Hispanic thinks limes and lemons are the same thing.

not entirely true, well for me it isnt, the green one is "limon", and the yellow one is "lima". when i was a waiter, i used to ask what color they wanted lol, because to me lime is the yellow one and lemon is the green one. lol

Pulled from another forum:

In Mexico it is just the opposite as some people here have said:

"Limón" is small and green, which I have found in some places in the USA call Lime.
"Lima" is larger and yellow, which I have found some people in USA call Lemon.

LOL i bet they thought they were giving you the right thing too...

I guess they should learn english then huh. You know, living and working in the US and all.


I am usually a pretty good tipper, but if I am not happy with the service I adjust the tip accordingly.

you're referring to calcium oxide, the fruit is 'lima'I've looked up every imaginable recipe in spanish that contains Limes and everything says something different...from mojito to pies. Even bottles of lemon and lime juice say multiple things lol. Ridiculous. :boobies:

If it's really "lima" then how on earth do people confuse me asking for LIME as a limón?

I'm glad I put "cal" on there because there is no question it means lime...even if it's the calcium oxide :tongue:

Between el Salvador, Venezuela, Mexico, Spain, Puerto Rico, etc. they all use Lima and Limón differently. There are also green lemons that are used for cooking in mexico, who knew?!
