Had so many friends told me to come and try this spot out and I've been looking for a good authentic taco spot and I finally found it! Friends told me to order by phone and that's what I did and it was ready within 10 minutes. Place looks pretty cool and I'm not sure if they do dining in right now. Ordered about 12 tacos and the pricing wasn't even that bad. Tacos were very delicious. Loved the Al pastor, steak and also the shrimp tacos. All were amazing. I highly recommend this spot and I'll definitely be back. read more

When you walk in, there is a counter there with tables in back. The chips and Pico de gallo and guacamole is very fresh. Very good appetizer. I can tell the meal and experience will be great by the appetizer. The tamarindo agua Fresca is very refreshing. The chicken and steak fajitas is so delicious. The meat and vegetable to tortilla ratio is amazing so you can enjoy with and without the tortillas. Keyley is an amazing person and she made sure we had a great meal and experience. read more

We have been ordering here since they opened and I can't say they are consistent. They either forget part of our order or the protein is overdone/dry. I recently ordered online and the order took AN HOUR - 35 min MORE than they said. I arrived for my food. I was told 5 more min. I stood there for well over 30 minutes. She girl at the front was rude and disappeared into the kitchen for 20 minutes. Very disappointed. read more

Hate to have to do this since I actually know the owner but I was calling the store to place an order since 9:25 pm knowing they close at 10pm but no one would answer the phone so I raced to the store breaking the speed limit to get there by 9:45pm only to see they closed early and door was locked with an employee doing the hand across neck thing like it's closed. This is unacceptable in my eyes. Change your hours or honor the hours and train your staff to answer the phone when it rings. You wasted my valuable time and energy only to be disappointed by your poor business practice. I'm from the hospitality industry you should be ashame. you are not saving any money closing 15 minutes ahead of time. Your employees don't like staying til closing find better help. Do better ! mad I even had to give you a star just to post this. this is bad sir you literally saved $15 and lost $45 by closing early do better. read more

El Limon, the Mexican Cocina that has expanded locally to 16 shops, has always been a favorite of mine for comida Mexicana in the region. I have visited four or five locations over the years and always found them to be authentic, creative and down to earth in the atmosphere department - utilitarian without painted carved chair ostentation. They are good eats at good prices. My recent visit to their new Bensalem store has me reconsidering my past impressions. Maybe they are growing too fast, or their supply lines are stretched too thin by coming into Bucks County from Montgomery, or COVID logistics have overwhelmed them, but the charming delicious gestalt of past exposure was not present in this place. I ordered a Torta Milanese (thin breaded fried beef sandwich) and Horchata rice drink. I've had both before at their other locales. Overlooking for the moment that the servers forgot to set up my table with flatware, napkins or glass of water even after delivering my meal, the sammy itself was a shadow of its previous self. Less meat, less chipotle mayo, less avocado, and a kaiser roll from the discount day old shelf at the back of their bakery. It was soft, tasteless and dry. There was no way they used such inferior bread on any other visits; in fact in the past their rolls had stolen the show they were so good. Not this time. It was a complete sad sack. Clearly, quality control has taken a hit at El Limon Bensalem. They need to step up their training in customer service, and seriously reevaluate their bread purveyor. At least the Horchata was quite good. read more

El Limon is a staple and has been one of my favorite restaurants - Everytime I'm In Conshohocken, I have to stop here. When I found out there was an El Limon 20 minutes away from me and that it opened last month, I was so excited! I placed a phone order for pick up - 3 tacos: chicken tinga, chorizo, al pastor & a grilled chicken burrito. They also were kind and included the different sauces: tomatillo, mole, and chipotle. My order was ready when I got there and eagerly took it home. I started off with the tacos and they were so salty, unbearably salty and I was so disappointed. I ate the burrito later that evening and it was great. One of the sauces also tasted salty. I'm hoping it was an off day cause just like love, food deserves a second chance too! read more

I love El Limon so much! Take out is just as good as eating in, which is hard to say about Mexican food in general. Everything is packed well when you get your food to go. My personal favorites are the enchiladas with mole sauce and the tacos al pastor. Everything is fresh and cooked fast. If you eat in, they have complimentary margaritas, if that's your thing. They also have jamaica, horchata, Mexican Coke in a bottle, and Jarritos in a bottle. ¡Muy delicioso! read more

Okay hello everyone. This place anymore sucks. My wife ordered loaded nachos & there was no cheese on them? WTF. Are you kidding me how can you forget the cheese? Anyone who orders Mexican food love's & wants the cheese. Big f up. I've given this El Limon location ( Bensalem ). A chance after chance. They just keep getting worse. Terrible!! ordered tacos steak was way over cooked. You spend over $40 bucks actually $47 with fees & delivery charges for 3 tacos and loaded nachos. Very simple order but it's amazing how they just don't care about there customers. Like I said earlier I would give them another shot well 3 strikes your out. When the first opened they were decent. But now they think there the shit Wrong. Posers. They don't really care about the customer. I give them a big fat 0 out of 10 never going back never ordering from them again. There a few really good Mexican restaurants here in Bensalem. But Definitely not el Limon on Galloway road in Bensalem. Stay away it's always a hassle and food anymore SUCKS!!!! read more

Ok um this may be one of the very few restaurants in Bensalem that is actually good. As many of you know, this town is filled with chain restaurants and nothing with a local feel. I am so tired of seeing McDonald's after McDonald's and have been craving some decent, quality food. So glad I discovered this on DoorDash! This place is everything I've been wanting. Really great Mexican flavors and quite inexpensive. The supreme tacos are to die for. The tortilla chips are so legit. My only wish is that they had their own exclusive queso or cheese sauce for their delicious chips! Melted shredded cheese is great, but I'm always keeping an eye out for a tasty liquid cheese! read more

Ordered food to be delivered via grub hub to our hotel and we received 500 IHG points just by ordering thru the hotels link. Our group ordered fish tacos, pork burrito and a steak burrito along with a side of chips and pico. The shredded pork was for me and I thought it was delicious as did my 11 month old son. Their menu is a bit overwhelming with a lot of options and varieties. The service was fast, especially after we just sat in traffic for an hour and I would definitely recommend them to anyone. read more

I tried the food here when it first opened a couple of months ago and the food was great!! Definitely one of the best local food options in Bensalem. The one downside is that the quality of the food has been starting to decrease. The chicken burritos are super flavorful and my favorite. The veggie burritos used to have so many fresh vegetables inside but now it's mostly filled with refried beans (same with chicken burrito). When I had their nachos in the beginning, those were also great with some spicy guac and a lot of toppings. Their red hot sauce is very very tasty. If you ask for the sauce during takeout they charge you extra but if you dine in, it is free. The staff is very friendly there and the food is priced well. I just hope they bring their quality back up to what it was before! read more

Eh. I'll try to look past the fact that when I picked up my order, drove all the way home to realize my steak taco was missing, and the guacamole and salsa for my chips where missing. Mistakes happen. So I drove back to the store had to wait again from my food. I was expecting a profuse apology and maybe a free item. Didn't get that. The food is ok. Don't believe it's cooked fresh to order. Probably fresh as the morning then kept warm. It wasn't hot. read more

Visiting from out of town and landed on this place. We ordered grub hub and it was incredibly fast with no hiccups which was very much appreciated after a long day of travel. I had the steak burrito and it was pretty good, nothing special but a good burrito. The chipotle sauce was delicious with both the burrito and the chips.

The restaurant is in this cute little area with shops, restaurants and bars and is a popular destination because when we were leaving out after finishing our meal the place was jam packed and there was at least an hour wait (but no wait when we came in thankfully). It's important to note that this is NOT authentic Mexican food ... but it was pretty good nonetheless. The margarita flight was cute and gave us the ability to try a few flavors out before committing to a large one. The favorites were the white peach and pineapple margaritas (the other 2 in the flight were the traditional and prickly pear). We ordered the Crab Mexican Street Corn for an appetizer and while it was loaded with crab, it wasn't Mexican Street Corn ... it was seasoned corn with old bay and a few other ingredients topped with crab. I ordered the Steak & Shrimp Combo Fajitas which was a nice portion size (I took 3/4 home) and the flavors were pretty darn tasty, but when you order fajitas you expect the "sizzle" and these didn't have that nor were they have the right temperature ... they were just warm when I wanted and expected them to be hot. The refried beans were yummy despite them not looking too appetizing but the rice was too soft. Service was good overall and pricing was also reasonable. If we're in the neighborhood again and in the mood for margaritas we may just stop back in.

I recently visited Mill Street Cantina twice and came away disappointed. It was highly recommended…read moreby a couple of friends. The inside was clean and the bar area I sat at although small was a decent spot to have a drink and grub. The staff was mostly young kids who were very nice. The chips and salsa they offer were boring. The salsas both roja and verde lacked flavor, mostly spice. The chips were fresh, but thick and bland. I think a thinner homemade style would work better. The first bartender I dealt with was great with the menu. She recommended several menu items. I ended up rolling with the Shrimp and Crab Enchiladas at $18 - jumbo lump crab, old bay cream cheese, tiger shrimp, cilantro and lime rice. The lime rice was worthless. It had zero flavor and was dry. The Enchiladas were creamy, but lacked spice and complexity. The tiger shrimp had a delicious grilled, moist flavor and were the best part. My second trip had a newer bartender who was getting her feet wet. She was friendly, but busy familiarizing herself with the bar so I went simple and ordered Birria Tacos - $15 Braised beef, onions, cilantro, lime Oaxaca cheese, consommé. The beef was dry and not tender. The shells were ok. The best part was the lime Oaxaca cheese and the consommé somewhat helped me get the beef down. The portion was very small. Not a good value in my humble opinion. The other patrons were mostly young and enjoying margaritas. I think booze is the draw to this spot. Without it your just getting average Mexican grub. Heck of a location in the Borough, but my visits left me longing for a hot pepper!
