Love El Limon!!! Great staff, great ambience and great food. Been here three times in past two months. My goto are the shrimp tacos. I also enjoyed the fish tacos but shrimp tacos are better. I went "supreme style" and thoroughly enjoyed them. Dining in is pleasant in their spacious dining area. Bright colors, clean tables and very nice staff make it a great experience. I did not bring any booze but saw others with tequila they brought enjoying a house margarita. Overall El Limon is a must do I look forward to returning with friends or family in the future. read more

If you're in the mood for tacos, El Limon is a good option. They've got a couple locations around the Philly suburbs and serve up tasty tacos. I got the chicken tacos and the steak tacos and enjoyed both. I thought the chicken was a little better though. Also got churros (yum!) read more

El Limon is always on point for easy Mexican cuisine. The restaurant is lively and presents a fun atmosphere. The staff are friendly and create a warm family friendly environment. There's nothing overly complex here - it's just good food! read more

Usually i wouldn't do a bad review but had to for this one. The chicken wasn't fully cooked as most of it was slimmy. They failed to warm the corn tortillas and can tell they just took them right out the bag and put "meat" in them. The steak was so tough it felt like rubber. Lastly the chips were all burnt. I took the food back to the restaurant and got a refund. Maybe it was a bad night but I won't be back. read more

On 10/17/24 I ordered from El Limon Malvern on Doordash. I got quesabirria and a barbacoa burrito. I first went to eat the quesabirria and when I opened the tortilla to add lime, I saw what is very obviously a heart valve and heart chamber meat inside the taco. I've ordered from multiple El Limon locations over the years and always had good food. This experience was disturbing and disgusting and I was unable and unwilling to eat anything else in my order and have honestly lost my appetite since then. I've tried to contact the restaurant via email, website, and their facebook page, but have not gotten any responses. So add terrible customer service to disgusting food. read more

Malvern/ Frazer. DELICIOUS. We go for their Jumbo sized burritos. Nice dining area, we usually get pickup- takeout. read more

I don't know why it took me so long to write a review. I grew up in malvern and have always loved El Limon. When I come home to visit my parents I always make time to eat at El Limon. The service is always great, the food never disappoint and my children loves visiting the Mexican store next door. I'll always be a returning customer read more

We tried out El Limon for the first time recently. Had tacos, a burrito, some chips and salsa/guac. Everything was delicious and would recommend! Will definitely get in the future! read more

Great food with nice staff. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in PA. And I've tried a lot. Trying to find good authentic Mexican food in Pa after living in CA was hard. Until i found this place! read more

I came to El Limon with friends because we were looking something tasty and casual for dinner. I ordered fish tacos and there were ok. Not as tasty and fresh as I like. However, the service was on point. The waiter was very friendly and cordial. I would suggest this spot for a casual bite. read more

I have given this place many chances. The 4.5 stars on yelp always convinces me to go back. The meat is consistently dry and the queso dip is nacho cheese. The steak tacos are the only thing okay on the menu. Disappointing :( read more

Food is good and enjoyable. Liked their churros with ice cream and also the tortas.. One misleading thing to note, currently Google shows Sunday closing time as 9.45pm, but they close around 9pm itself..so best to call in n enquire while planning to go late hours.. read more

I really enjoy El Limon. Especially in a pinch. Our go to's are always the tacos. Carne asada, carnitas, tacos dorados. The flavor is great. My only issue is every single time we order to-go, the order is wrong. We like "supreme" which does not include onion or cilantro and comes with lettuce, tomato and cheese....for some reason, we always come home with cilantro and onion, a bit of lettuce and tomato, no cheese. I can pick off most the onion and cilantro but we pay more for "supreme." Obviously it's on us for not checking before leaving. I'd just like to trust it's correct. It's never an issue if we dine in. We'll continue to patronize this place for sure! It's delicious regardless of mistakes read more

Came here for a group lunch on a busy Thursday. Placed was packed and had a typical fast lunch atmosphere. Quickly seated and there were many good options. Started with guacamole and salsa and those were good and come with pita chips. I ordered the mixta fajitas with shrimp and steak and those were okay. Some burritos and tacos were ordered and looked great. They didn't have Diet Coke today but other subs were available. Horchata was delish! Tacos 5/5 Burrito 5/5 Enchilada 5/5 Chips and salsa 5/5 Fajitas 2.5/5 steak was shredded and a little flavorless and shrimp wasn't at par for me. Service quick and attentive 5/5 read more

I've been to two el limon, one in ambler and one in conshahocken. I always thought ambler was the best but then... I ran into this place in Malvern. Oh. My. Goodness... This place is far above the other two. The food just tastes better; it packs a flavor that is prominent than the other two places. I got the chorizo burrito and it has a level of spice that the other two places did not offer. The loaded nachos with Al pastor again, packed a flavor that the other two places did not offer. The place isn't as busy as the other places and maybe that's why? Being that said, the service is better and it is cleaner. The parking is plenty (cause it's malvern) and everything about this place is more convenient than the other two locations. I need to go back and try a sandwich that they have... That is something I have not seen in the other places so, will go back for sure! If you're in a Mexican food crave and in the area, I recommend this place for sure read more

We came here when traveling for work after a happy hour at Pennsylvania Distilling Company which is near by. They don't do complementary chips and salsa here which is a bit disappointing. We got chips and guacamole, but they brought us salsa with it and then charged us more for it. The guacamole wasn't very good. It was very heavy on the lime so you couldn't taste much avocado. For entrees we tried the Al Pastor quesadilla, the mole steak enchilada, and the fish tacos. The quesadilla was our favorite, but it was very small. The mole enchilada was very good too, but I wish we had done Al Pastor because that was better than the steak. The fish tacos were not good. They had no flavor and were dry. Overall, I think this is a good choice for solid Mexican food. read more

Love this place. Great food, consistent and great staff. Everything seems fresh and home made.

Very good . Fresh every time we order ! Love the tacos and the quesadillas , also noted the shrimp is fresh , never tastes frozen

Very friendly service food was delicious! Chips and pico fresh and crispy chips Marinated chicken taco was great ton of meat and flavor Chicken quesadillas want them again! Can't wait to return Great so glad we stopped here read more

I love their little tacos, but the ambience of the Malvern location leaves a lot to be desired. And it also kind of freaks me out that they have an open propane, flame inside to make tacos. I do like their location in other areas it's just this one that is problematic and it's not the food. The food is excellent but the location and the ambience is horrible. That is why they are getting a three. For food they are five stars plus for everything else at this location. They need a better location. read more

Had lunch there - ordered the Carnitas Torta, and it was delicious! The meat was well-seasoned and tender, and the sauces on the side were very good. The service was good too. Would go back any time! read more

Always a good meal at a reasonable price. This is the only Mexican restaurant that I go to.

Oh, man! This place still has awesome food! We have been here countless times, but not for at least 6 months. Still amazing! Fresh, flavor-filled, absolutely delish! I'd recommend again and again. read more

Amazing food and you can see their kitchen is spotless. Cute place, small but good vibes. I have never had a problem here and keep coming back. read more

Good Mexican food, much like all the other locations of this local chain. We ordered some food for pickup on our way out of town one Friday, and they did a good job of packaging everything nicely. There are utensils and napkins on the side to collect to bring along. One thing that was unfortunate was that I had asked for some green salsa on the side, and there must have been a misunderstanding, but they put in extra tomatillo sauce instead. Still good, but not as great as the green salsa! read more

Really good. This place is tucked back in a plaza but it is so worth searching it out. The food is fresh and tasty. The staff were friendly and super fast in preparing my take out order. I got the barbacoa quesadilla with a side of guacamole and beans. The guacamole has diced jalapeno in it so just a word to the wise if you don't like a little bit of heat. Everything is so good. read more

Food was fresh and service was really quick. The waitress was an absolute sweetheart. The ambiance itself is refreshing and it feels out of the way and quaint. For a casual experience, this is top tier. Their flan especially is out of the world. I always end up ordering some with dinner and then extra to take home! read more

Delicious, authentic, unpretentious. Yes all around. Favorites are the guacamole, salsa and chips and enchiladas.

We have loved El Limon in Ambler and had been in the Malvern area so we thought we would try it. We love El Limon. It's positioned in the back of a kind of run down building but don't be scared away- it's STILL the same El Limon. My server in Ambler months ago told me that they now have seven, yes 7 locations. How awesome is that?! Today I had the carnitas burrito. My only complaint was that the pork was extremely dry. I was a bit disappointed. In the past the carnitas have been juicy, tender and flavorful- today they were dry, hard and stringy. The plus though was the flavorful guacamole. I thought the price on the menu was 1.50, but on my check it was 2.50. Still very worth it for this savory treat. I still enjoyed the burrito because I bathed it in the guacamole. It was topped with cool crunchy lettuce and arrived without beans as I requested. Had the server checked back I would have mentioned my dissatisfaction w the carnitas. We were the only one of two tables in the restaurant. This has happened to me in the past at the Ambler location- the food is served but then there isn't a check back. By the time the server came back I had finished 90% of my meal so I wasn't going to say anything at that point because it was futile. I will still be a loyal customer but maybe I'll try something different. I love El Limon but my entree missed the mark today. read more

Interesting casual spot that is in an expected spot on the main line. My dining partner and I enjoyed the enchiladas here which came three to a platter plus refried beans and rice. You have the choice of molé sauce or a green tomatillo sauce. We both went for the mole in which the chocolate flavor was evident. This was good but not exceptional. We also shared a generous piece of tres leches cake. The cake was not uniformly moist and was topped with whipped cream and chocolate sauce. Parking can be challenging as the lot is hilly read more

A hidden gem in a modified industrial alley. El Limón is well worth venturing off the beaten path. Servers are friendly, food is fresh, and delicious and the price is right. You are not here for ambiance, you are here for good food. Might I add; the Cinco de Mayo 2020 COVID 19 edition was overwhelming, at best. However, they got the food out and maintained the quality. ¡Bien hecho! read more

Tasty food. Nice waitress. I got the shrimp tacos on the corn tortillas. A nice drop in spot. We would come back.

Amazing. Little place at way back of strip mall. Alpastor was so delicious, moist, perfect amount. Ditto for carnitas. Only on one tortilla but that's how I like it - less carbs. Will be back as often as I can!! read more

Shrimp burrito was great. They need black beans as an option though. Other than that food was great.

El Limon has an authentic feel in the restaurant and delicious food. This was my first time and one and I thoroughly enjoyed the chicken quesadilla. I would give it 5 stars except I felt that the portion-size (4 quesadilla triangles made from 1 folded burrito shell) was too small for the price of $9. Other than that, I'd be coming back more often. read more

Yes! Do it and here's why - always trust Mexican restaurants who have their own sauces on the table especially a verde sauce - there are so many options everyone will be happy - all the ingredients are fresh, colorful and delicious - guac. No explanation needed when you have good guac - I love being able to try several things at once! I got the al pastor and the Barbacoa- both amazing in their own ways - absolutely affordable - staff are kind and attentive - never packed, always available I can be a Mexican snob. I don't want to go to a Mexican restaurant, eat my weight in greasy good and feel like death for the rest of the night. The fresh vegetables and ingredients truly help. You'll leave happy. Your wallet won't hurt. And you won't hate yourself read more

Do not be fooled by the location or the lack of ambiance. The food is authentic, DELICIOUS and served quickly. They have a margarita mix, so you can BYOB your tequila. Our group had a mix of tacos (pulled pork, pineapple pork one, beef, tongue and fish) as well as burritos, salsa and guac. (I might pass on the fish tacos next time, it was a little over cooked for me). Yummy yummy yummy. Cannot wait to explore the rest of the menu. read more

It was my first time ordering from there (did take out) and I tried something slightly different from what I typically order from Mexican restaurants. They had a carnitas meal that was made with shredded pork & it was very tasty, but the "salad" that accompanied it was pretty bland (just plain lettuce & tomato), which is why I only gave them 4 stars. Maybe if I continue to order from there I will find reasons to upgrade my review. read more

El lemon has gone down the drain ever since all the developments have been being built. Terrible taste, terrible portions, high prices. Incredibly disappointed in the direction this restaurant has gone. Smh read more

Ended up here because there wasn't a lot of options in the area open later on a Monday night that did takeout. Food was great. We ordered a fajita platter and burrito. Both had a good taste and an ample amount of food. Service was fast for the pickup and the meals were hot. I'd eat here again and recommend it. read more
