    Barbacoa Taco
    Andrew L.

    My go-to spot for Taco Tuesdays! I have the fortunate pleasure of living a few houses down from El Limon Havertown location. With almost 30 locations, El Limon cooks up some authentic and tasty Mexican dishes all over the Philadelphia area at a very reasonable price. Every Tuesday, my wife and I order tacos from El Limon. They have various types of tacos with fresh meat made daily. Our favorites are the Barbacoa and Carnitas tacos. Be careful when ordering, because you do have the option to order them with just the meat, or for an additional .50c, you can add onions, lettuce, cheese, and tomato. Definitely worth it for the extra flavor! They have amazing side options like chips and salsa/guacamole, beans, rice, etc. we really enjoy their nachos as a good starter before we dive into our tacos! They don't just stop at tacos and sides though, their burritos and enchiladas are truly amazing. Packed with flavor and smothered in the sauce of your choice (my favorite is their tomotilla green sauce). For dessert, make sure you order the churros! They are the sweetest way to end such a savory meal! Comes with 4 churros and a vanilla ice cream that melts and turns into an amazing dipping sauce. Although we typically pick up due to our proximity, they have a nice dining area with tables and booths. Great for a weekday night out with the family and friends. Kid friendly environment. Would highly recommend El Limon to anyone looking for affordable and consistent local Mexican cuisine!

    This is my new go to Mexican restaurant. I've never had anything bad here and they have a wide variety of options on their menu. I suggest enchiladas with tomatillo sauce, delicious! Also just an FYI their quesadillas are tasty but also kind of tiny. Their burritos on the other hand are huge. Would be five stars but I find their dine in situation to leave a bit to be desired (one time it was blazing hot with no air conditioning and one time we were totally forgotten about when it came time for the check), however their food is great so you should try some take out.

    I have to update my review because the last few orders I placed whether via delivery or takeout they miss something. This particular time I had to drive back after getting home and finding my tacos had no cilantro or onions. Like really?! I specifically asked for it tho that's the norm on tacos. I'm so disappointed this was my go to place but the lack of attention to minor details is quite annoying.

    The food is great and the prices are reasonable. The staff is friendly. Cozy ambiance too. Never had a problem parking. Margaritas!

    The Best Churros I have had in a while with ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce, absolutely delicious.
    Steve I.

    Run don't walk to this new addition to the Havertown dining scene. We are so lucky to have this restaurant within walking distance from our home, especially since their tasty powerful Margaritas are free. I saw some one star reviews which were suspect especially when the reviewers were from Las Vegas and the middle of the state. That they found this out of the way place in Havertown with there only negative review smelled fishy. As I mentioned the complementary Margaritas to eat in diners were tasty and powerful. If you don't like Margaritas, bring your own beer or wine. The drinks went great with the freshly made chips, guacamole, and salsa. They were excellent. I have to say the service was friendly but a little slow, only the server and the chef working, I am sure that they will work this out in time. The free Margaritas and sitting outside on a beautiful day made the wait bearable. Our tacos were excellent. One grilled chicken one steak on corn tortillas with lettuce and tomatoes. Everything was fresh and obviously made to order. To finish our meal we tried the Churros which were the best we had in quite some time, they came with some creamy ice cream, whipped cream and chocolate sauce. They were crunchy and delicious. I may be a weekly visitor, so keep posted for photos and reviews of future visits.

    Very middle of the road food. My kids love it so I buy it for them. There are very limited options around here. The servers are very nice

    do not trust their hours, we arrived with plenty of time to order out, their open light was on, and they won't take a to-go order.

    Addicted to their mole sauce. Have ordered containers to go to keep in and add to dishes made at home. Love their salsa and rice too.

    I've driven by often and when I read an article of the chef brothers, and their background in the…read moreculinary scene in Philly,I had to go. So happy I did! Solo Saturday date pre movie night so I went to get some puebla flavors. Cute little spot with an open kitchen. Decor is straight from Puebla and the music makes you feel like you were transported from Delco to Mexico. Staff was great! I ordered a Jamaica agua Fresca which was delicious and the cóctel campechano which is shrimp and octopus cocktail. They forgot my pulpo but gave it to me on the side which was fine. It comes with 3 tostadas. Everything was very fresh and the sauce it was in was so good. Nice light and refreshing starter. I loved the plates as well. For my entree I chose the carnitas tacos 3 to an order with radish on the side and red and green salsa. The tacos had picked purple onion which was really good and fresh guacamole. The tortillas were so nice and you can taste homemade. The carnitas was really good too. Well seasoned. I will have to come back to try the other menu offerings. It's simple done very well! Gracias! FYI I had read somewhere they were cash only but not true. Parking can be limited but if you drive around you'll find something eventually. Definitely worth a visit. Buen provecho!
