    Chicken Tortas
    Lisa Z.

    They offer free margaritas for dine in patrons which is plus, they are pretty light-handed with the alcohol but not going to complain about free items. I got the chicken torta and it was huge, enough for two portions but it was very messy to eat. The serving sizes are pretty generous except for the chicken quesadilla. Reasonable pricing, I would return.

    I have loved coming to el limon for years. They are hands down my favorite place for tacos, tamales and that complementary margarita! The food is absolutely delicious and really filling. Going for lunch or dinner always sends me home with at least one little bite for a late night snack or lunch the next day. From the chimichanga to the tortes and more. The service is great here, super lovely staff. This new place they moved into feels right and home and love the new decor. It's clean and bright, everything that you want from a great Mexican restaurant. I highly recommend the tortilla soup bowl, the flavor is insane and you won't regret it. However, it is super filling so choose wisely if you indulge. Also all the agua frescas are great, you can't go wrong. Make sure you stop in here for a quick bite, a long chat or even just a quick takeout order. Enjoy!

    Tinga Fajita
    Kamal S.

    So good!! Brought my parents here for an early dinner and we all loved it! We had the chicken tinga tacos and vegetable tacos, alongside some chips, pico, and guac. We opted for the supreme version of the tacos which adds additional toppings so the tacos were very filling. We also tried the chicken tinga fajitas. Fajitas were super sizzly and delicious. Service was also great. We were able to get street parking across the street. Overall, I'd come back! Happy eating!

    Chips, salsa, and guacamole
    Catherine B.

    For starters we enjoyed the chips with guacamole and salsa. The salsa was a medium hot pico de galla with a few spicier spots from the diced jalapenos. Everyone enjoyed. I had the marinated chicken fajitas. Others in my party had the tacos (shrimp, barbacoa, tinga, carnitas, and asada). All were good and very reasonable. Included 2 free margaritas per person. Bill was $62 for chips, guac, salsa, 6 iced teas, 2 margaritas, 8 tacos, and chicken fajitas. Place was clean, but could use a face lift with a paint job. Service was fine. Would definitely return when in the area. And, have already recommended to friends.

    Chicken Tinga Tacos with Guacamole and Mole
    Atiya G.

    I usually just get three tacos when I go to El Limon. It's good enough for a neighborhood taco place. My go to is the Chicken Tinga tacos. They're juicy,, moist and the meat is plentiful. This time the meat was dry so not as tasty but fine abd edible. The guacamole is tasty. It has the perfect lime-y tang to it. I ate the guacamole without the chips because they weren't as fresh as I'd like so they took away from the tastiness of the guacamole. My husband had a burrito that came with mole. Did not love the mole....no one did so that got disposed of.

    We popped in after a few drinks in the area. I've been meaning to check this place out and was excited to finally make it in. The hosts were very nice and margaritas were complimentary! We ordered the chips and guacamole (we loved) , al pastor burrito bowl, tortilla soup and chicken burrito. While everything came out hot and looking delicious we weren't wowed by the favor. We vowed to check out another location.

    They moved locations and it's just as good if not better. I choose El Limon over any Mexican restaurant always. You can't go wrong with anything on this menu but my favorites are anything with the Al pastor or chorizo.

    Chips and Guacamole

    Love this place. Authentic, affordable, fast. The staff is always friendly, kind and accommodating. The food is great. My favorite is their Tacos, the chicken tinga and the lengua. A neighborhood favorite for sure !

    I was super excited to see the reviews and had a taste for Mexican. Service was quick but authentic tasting Mexican is a no go for me. The steak was extremely dry and tough definitely not skirt/flank. The same meat was used for tacos. When you have lived near Mexico and in San Diego you know what food should taste like. Inside is basic.

    Tinga taco

    A rare open on Sunday restaurant in Ardmore! We loved the food (especially the quesabirria) and service. The horchata was more powdery than we are used to but would visit again.

    The only seasoning on my burrito was excess salted chicken, definitely needs a sauce. Don't know why the food is so popular.

    Very tasty tacos at this joint. I got the El pastor tacos and fried jalapenos. I'd definitely order both again.

    Lili's Fresh Authentic Mexican - BIRRIA TACOS: slow cooked beef in corn tortillas with onion, cilantro, & melted cheese; consomme and spicy red sauce on the side.$14.99

    I will be dreaming of these tacos. I searched birria and…read morethis is the first place that popped up. Don't let the outside fool you, it's tucked in behind a bigger building and it's inside the pizza shop but that was easily the best birria I had on the east coast. The corn tortilla was actually crispy which was a big bonus in my book with the perfect salty bite. The shredded beef was beyond bountiful; so savory and perfectly balanced with the fresh onion and melty cheese. The consume was rich with perfect notes of acidity and spice I double dipping into the hot sauce which made for a perfect bite. The green onions were killer not everyone does that super good. Barely finished 2 tacos they are stuffed! 3 tacos and a soda came to $20, well worth it. Also customer service was good, the guy at the register and cooks were friendly and welcoming. Highly recommend eating here.

    As the youths say, "Very 'mid' "…read more The 4.6/5 Yelp score persuaded me to try this place instead of our usual favorite, El Limon. We ordered the shrimp tacos, the veggie tacos, and a large side of guacamole. The shrimp tacos were the worst I've tried. Three tacos each with approximately one underseasoned shrimp cut into tiny pieces, topped with chopped tomato, jalapeño, onion, and a tiny bit of cilantro, drizzled with chipotle mayonnaise. The shrimp was tasteless and the portion was tiny. The pico de gallo was as average as it gets. Not to mention the tacos at El Limon come with beans and rice for the same price, these did not. I got takeout and had homemade corn salsa, pickled jalapeños, and hot sauce in my refrigerator, thank god, because these tacos needed some flavor. My boyfriend ordered the veggie tacos and didn't say much other than he disliked them and proclaimed Lili's a "one and done."
