Lime & Cilantro has faced an unexpected and challenging situation that has deeply affected their business and the community they serve. Danny Chavez, the chef and owner, had a dream of creating a welcoming space where friends and family could enjoy great food. Unfortunately, they were forced to close their doors in October 2025 due to circumstances beyond their control. The sudden eviction left them with no time to gather their belongings, and the financial strain has been overwhelming.

Despite these hardships, they managed to reopen on November 18, but the road ahead remains difficult. The loss of income for Danny and his family, who are all employees, has been significant. The legal fees and lost inventory have drained their savings, and they are now working hard to rebuild. Your support can make a real difference in helping Lime & Cilantro get back on their feet.

Every visit to their restaurant and every contribution counts. Let’s come together to support this small business that has given so much to our community. Thank you for considering a donation to help them overcome this adversity.
