Another rendition of this fast growing Mexican cucina on York Road, Hatboro. The space is small, with dining area in front window and another in back connected by a narrow hallway with room for a few hightops. Simple decor and straightforward street food menu (tacos, burritos, quesadillas, tortas, etc.). I was in the mood for a Torta Milanesa (steak). It arrived less than ten minutes later. The beef was breaded and fried, with melted white cheese, jalapeño, grilled onion, lettuce and tomato; packed into a basic kaiser roll. It was surprisingly heavy and a bit slick from the oil the steak was cooked in. I cut it in half and commenced to consume. The steak was an easy chew and all its participants contributed well to my enjoyment. Filled me for the rest of the day. The Tamarindo drink was housemade - very sweet, yet with a sour final note. Very good and refreshing. Service provided by a young gentleman who seemed to be running the house this Sunday afternoon. He was busy, but stopped by a couple of times to check on my satisfaction. I provided a solid report. El Limon (The Lemon) has a simple successful formula for their expanding empire. Make it basic and comfortable, both in decoration and cuisine. Avoid unnecessary glitter and tourista painted tables and chairs, and remain true to your roots. With 30 shops and counting in the Montco/Bucks region, they know what they are doing. 4 Estrellas d'Oro! read more

So, it's been awhile since I had an authentic taco. After living in the Bay Area tacos are more common than grabbing pizza or a burger I'd say and I had a hankering. I had been in the hospital and after binging Anthony Bourdain's (R.I.P) shows while there I felt like something I dunno; to remind me of home or feel like I was on some kinda travel adventure. I researched some spots nearby and El límon caught my eyes as it had a similar name of a place I used to frequent back in Cali. As soon as I was discharged from the hospital I drove right over. There is pretty ample street parking in Hatboro and I believe you may be able to park in a lot nearby but don't quote me on that. I came with a big appetite or so I thought. I decided to get a bit of everything. I was greeted with a warm welcome and I told the gentleman it was to go and he gave me a menu and allowed me to take my time. The restaurant is cozy, a few tables and ok decor. As I perused the menu some people came in for takeout and two families sat in to eat. The are was very clean and it also has a stand up dining area/counter. I decided to get 3 tacos, beef, al pastor and Leng's or tongue. I also got a sopa, chicken as I recall, a pork tamale and a Milanese torta or veal. Oh, and also birria beef tacos(3) as they come. My eyes were bigger than my stomach The wait for the food was a bit long but I ordered quite a bit. The pricing I felt was a bit on the more expensive side but what isn't these days so I would say reasonable. Put it this way if you're bringing a date to eat here you could easily spend $50-$100. Not bad right? So, I went back to my place and I did have to reheat some of the food. I had the tacos right away. All were good except the lengua. Lengua is on of my favs and this one did not have that soft gelatinous texture I was looking for. It may have been a bit overcooked. The birria tacos were awesome! Great flavor with the sauce, slightly chewy but I expected that from the beef. Now the sopa I only had a bite and ate the rest the next day as so with the tamale. The sopa was a bit dry but the toppings were as expected including the cojita cheese. The tamale was pretty good again this is reheated food. It was also Slightly dry at the ends but the middle and filling (pork) was alright. The pork was not as tender as I expected but not bad. Now the torta was pretty good, I had everything on mine. It was hard to eat despite that but I couldn't recognize it as veal per se. It also had a sauce on it that I was not familiar with. Flavor-wise it was good and I wish I had started on it early on. The meals do come with sides of sauces salsa roja from peppers and verde from tomatillos. They were a great accompaniment to the dishes. I didn't get my feeling of homesickness or nostalgia fulfilled but I got a good meal. This place seams to be a local fav and I can see why. I've since been again and so the same. I hope they improve on those tacos de lengua. Also I steamed the tamale the next time I got one and the masa was a bit more tender but the pork not as much. I recommend this place if you have a Mexican food craving, a night out with friend or the family; also not a bad date spot. Oh, I forgot to mention they do have a great assortment of Mexican soda and I believe they make horchata and Jamaica too. Looks like a reason for me to go one more time. So, if you are in the Hatboro area and it's just about meal time drop into El límon for some good eats and a siesta afterwards! read more

Service was good. Food came fast. I got chicken quesadilla and sopes. Well I felt like quesadilla was small for the price. Sopes were ok but lacked flavor. Not sure if I will try again. read more

El Limon - Mexican Near Me - Hatboro, Pennsylvania

The service was a little slow on the Tuesday at 11:00 am when we went. We sat outside. There were 12 of us, so that was a consideration. They give you free margaritas, but , honestly, bring your own ingredients if that's what you want. I don't think there was any tequila in them. I brought my own Corona beer as did a couple of the other guys. I had the fish tacos which were pretty good, and generous. I think most of the guys liked their selections. Our server was a nice kid who worked very hard. read more

El Limon is a cute small place for a quick bite or take out. I would describe it as a hybrid - quality food, a step up from fast food, with a server. Even though you have a server, chips are for purchase with either salsa or guacamole. We had the guacamole and it was delicious. read more

I do not like Mexican food but ate here for my husband's sake. I was AMAZED. FOOD WAS EXCELLENT! Had the tortilla soup... not spicy but delicious, filled with hard noodles, pieces of chicken and pieces of avocado! Big pieces! Topped with cilantro and grated cheese. Bowl filled to over the top. Ate the whole thing ! Took one home, too. Also had guacamole and chips. Guac had pieces of avocado and mild, but tasty, onion pieces. Not spicy but there was 2 containers on table, if I wanted to spice it up. I scraped the guac bowl, it was so good. Husband had steak Alambre. A large platter, piled high with pieces of steak, bacon, melted cheese and a variety of roasted vegetables. Everything was large chunks/pieces, not small bits! We inhaled this stuff. Soft wraps were included separately so we could wrap or not, fill it up, or not. We took half home. I CANNOT RECOMMEND THIS EATERY ENOUGH! Food fantastic, people nice, service excellent. Ps. Smaller venue but worth the meal. Several others came in while we were there, so this 'diamond' restaurant IS known in the area. Come and learn that El Limon will satisfy every taste bud you own. . Oh, I'm not related to them, I just really like their food. read more

El Limon is a little gem in Hatboro! I really enjoyed dinner there yesterday night. Our waiter was attentive and kind, the food was fresh and delicious, and the restaurant had a fun and bright atmosphere. The chicken tinga fajitas were great--I was most impressed by the well-seasoned and tasty roasted peppers and onions! I took my leftovers home, and they were delicious re-heated as well--they're a great lunch if you have tortillas laying around! And who can go wrong with a free margarita? We'll definitely be back soon! read more

I'm in town visit g family and they kept talking about the nachos so of course I had to try it for myself. It was a cold rainy night and we had our choice of tables. The server was very friendly, and we got our orders in. The nahh chi is we shared as an appetizer and they're a generous serving! So much meat, guacamole and crema, nicely layered and flavorful. The enchiladas were just as yummy, my Tinga (chicken) with salsa verde did have some kick to it, but not so much I didn't enjoy it. My family enjoyed their entrees as well. As a fan of Al pastor I also had to try a taco and it did not disappoint! I've found Al Pastor can sometimes be dry but theirs was so flavorful and juicy, and enough pineapple to really bring the flavors together. We got some Mexican cokes too because why not! Overall, good staff, nice location, yummy food and a clean space. Will definitely be back in my next trip (and maybe again before I had home from this one!) read more
