About us

The rugged beauty of the Baja peninsula is what draws tourists, surfers, campers and explorers to a Mediterranean style peninsula where the desert meets the sea. But it is the cuisine that really gives you a full experience! Ranging from street food & tacos to European style dishes, Baja mixes old Mexico with new, Bold, Modern, & Fresh flavors from around the world.

Owners Ken and Katie love traveling to and experiencing the authentic flavors of the Baja peninsula. It's what inspired them to open Salt & Lime Cabo Grill. They are passionate about their food, margaritas and creating smiles. Their commitment to bringing you a wonderful dining experience and delicious food is of the utmost importance!

Relax with friends, enjoy a fresh-made margarita and sample a mixture of exquisite Baja inspired cuisine.

The team at Salt & Lime Cabo Grill looks forward to serving you soon!

OWNERS

Ken has been in the restaurant industry for over 25 years as a server, manager and now co-owner. Growing up in Pensacola, FL and spending a number of years living in San Diego, California is where his inspiration for Salt & Lime Cabo Grill came from. He enjoyed surfing and loved fish tacos so he decided to bring his fresh ideas to the Carolinas! This is his first business venture with wife Katie, and they are excited to create a foundation of success for their sons.

Katie, a North Carolina native, has been serving, hosting and bar-tending for over 15 years. She enjoys the fast pace environment, interacting with the local public, and of course margaritas! She is thrilled to open her first restaurant with her husband and is looking forward to opening many more!
