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

El Limon is a roller coaster ride of ups and downs. The guac is really exceptional, perfectly tangy and salty, and they make their own chips to go with it. However, I got the fish tacos, and they were so boring! Just pan-fried fish in a tortilla with way too much raw onion and cilantro. It desperately needed acid and maybe fat - it was just salt and not enough texture. But their churros are freakin awesome! But their horchata is watery. I feel like three star ratings were made for this place. read more

Good spot for cheap tacos and enchiladas. Seems better for take out than dine in unlike some of the other El Limons' inthe area.

The ambience of the place may need some makeover, but the authenticity and the flavor of everything served on your table I was outstanding!!! read more

Love going here after swim class. The tacos, steak nachos, fajitas were all amazing. There is something for everyone.

El Limon never disappoints. Everything is cooked well and super fresh. The carnitas are my favorite for anything but especially the nachos! Huge portion and always delicious! read more

Looked for a Mexican place in the area and came across El Limon. Very casual place for lunch or dinner. They have a decent sized menu with very affordable prices (nothing over $10 except for dishes with shrimp). I got 4 tacos - tinga (marinated chicken), steak and al pastor - each $2.75/taco. The tacos were good but I liked the al pastor tacos the best - they cook it with pineapple! They do have $10 minimum for credit cards though. My friends got the shrimp tacos and chorizo enchiladas, which they said were good too. The portion sizes were also very large, so come hungry!You do get 2 free margaritas for every meal but the margaritas weren't that great and I probably couldn't drink more than 1. The restaurant was very clean and had seating both inside and outside, which is a nice option on a nice day. read more

Ordered for takeout. They have huge portions. Burrito is gigantic, but personally I think there's too much rice in it. Fish taco is ok. Al pastor taco is surprisingly good, pineapple really adds a flavor to it. Churros are well fried paired with ice cream. read more

This place has really good food! Def recommended getting lunch if you're in the area!

This place is fantastic!! The food is very authentic and flavorful. When I went in I had no idea what to get. The waitress suggested the carne asada tacos and they were phenomenal!!! I have been to many Hispanic restaurants but this was by far the best one! Extremely friendly, great service, and great price! We will be coming back soon for more tacos!! read more

The atmosphere is a 10/10. Great service and drinks. The food is lacking flavor. Salt and pepper are provided at the table, but for the price point, the food should be better seasoned. We had a large group order of various dishes and all were lacking flavor. read more

Excellent Mexican food. Tacos, tortas and burritos are top notch, full of flavor. Def the best mexican restaurant in the area. To top it off, they serve complimentary margaritas! read more

Incredible tacos. Authentic, friendly and a great value. Their horchata and dessert is fantastic too.

I love the way that this Mexican taqueria treats me like family every single time I walk through the door. My favorite thing to eat is the steak fajitas with my daughter. My husband always gets the burrito and eats all of it. I love how all the proportions are perfect and they never mess up our orders. read more

We had been to the former incarnation of this restaurant (El Jalapeño) a few years ago. We took a while to try the new place because while the food was oh-kay (not as good as it is now), they messed up our order significantly last time, and it didn't make us want to rush back. This time, the food was very good. Fresh, beautiful, full of flavor. They even garnished with fresh lime slices! Really really nice presentation, and great flavors. My husband LOVED the sauces (too hot for me, but any heat-spice is too hot for me, so I am not complaining). When we called in for takeout, they answered the phone in Spanish, which is off-putting when you don't speak it, or in my case, when you do speak it, to a college-minor/exchange abroad level of experience, but they deliver it is so fast, you still don't have a clue. Just trying to give a friendly tip that it would be better to at least have a mix of English and Spanish when you are greeted over the phone. Our negative is that we were charged $3 more than we should have been, and unfortunately didn't realize it until later, due to one of us picking up, and the other one looking at the prices on the menu and ordering. It's never fun to be overcharged, so I have to dock them a star for that. read more

Small place, good basic Mexican food. Not fancy but good for weekday dinner. Worth a try !

Great customer service! Food and prices are great too. El Limon offers two free margaritas per person! read more

Pretty good tacos here. Kind thoughtful service that was well appreciated. Had chorizo and pastor tacos. Fillings were hot and plentiful. Traditional style with onions and cilantro. I will return. Do not pass up this hidden gem. read more

This review is a mixed bag. I ordered a steak burrito and an al pastor Supreme taco from there. First, the bad: the burrito. When I saw the size of this thing, I thought that this was monstrous and that I could have some leftovers. When I cut into it though, there was a lot of dead space. I wish I had taken a picture, but there was just a lot of empty space. The inside of the burrito was ok. I ordered it with the Chipotle sauce in the burrito and this had some decent flavor. However, the meat and contents were very bland. They put some kind of green sauce on it that was bitter and....disgusting. The burrito also has peas, corn and chopped carrots in it. Anyway, I read the reviews about the AL Pastor tacos and ordered one of those. That was awesome and had a really great flavor. If I went there again I would no do the burrito and just stick with the AL Pastor tacos. read more

My boyfriend and I went to the El Limon location on Gay Street in West Chestervon the spur of the moment and were thrilled to find one of the best Mexican restaurants we've ever tried, in West Chester or elsewhere. The food was fresh and delicious. His burrito had a very pleasing and interesting flavor. My quesadilla was equally delicious. We really liked the complimentary Margaritas which packed a punch! The server was extremely cheerful and service was quick. We would definitely go back. read more

Everything is good, always consistent, fast, and great customer service! Their al pastor quesadillas are amazing and so are the carnitas! They give you a lot of meat too. One of the best Mexican places in the area! read more

So last time I was here, they were El Jalapeño. Time to try them under the new name. It's not even a question anymore. I've tried all of the local Mexican competition and I feel I can say this unequivocally. This is the absolute best Mexican food in this immediate area. Period. Three tacos later, one Tinga, one Al Pastor, and one Carnitas, and I feel like I had the perfect meal. Each one was a flavor bomb. The Carnitas were the mildest flavored of the three, but they were incredibly juicy, and took well to the salsa as the perfect complement. A side of rice and beans was also perfectly flavored. No they don't have a lot of space or tables. Chances are you might have to wait for a table or get it to go. But the food is worth that hassle. Take the fact that they are crowded as a good sign. The nearby Mexican competition is good in their own right. But here is greatness. No question whatsoever. read more

We WILL be back! I usually end my 5 star reviews with that sentiment but I figured I'd just get it out of the way early- because it's THAT good! I had the sopes tinga, which was incredibly tender chicken on top of a corn cake. Extremely flavorful and fulfilling. I also had a asada taco. The steak was well done but still not tough and the homemade corn tortillas didn't crack when folded- like some I've had in the past. Where the meal gets even better is the alambre! My fiancé ordered it after reading the description on the menu- meat with peppers, onions, bacon and cheese. Ok! He went with the mixto which was chicken and beef. We both agreed that he "won" in the menu choice. It was salty, spiced, and decedent without being heavy. It was literally one of the best things I've tasted in a long time- something not to take lightly. This place is tougher to find and a little rough around the edges- which makes it's even cooler. We have found our new Mexican restaurant and I couldn't be happier! read more

El Limon - Malvern - Sopes tinga! Only $3! This is amazing! - Mexican Near Me - Malvern, Pennsylvania

Have to update my review. The last few times I have patronized this establishment the food quality was not what it was. It is slightly above average now. I used to drive there from Pottstown weekly for their food. Now I do not drive out of my way for it. Still decent but just not what it was. read more

Hands down one of the best Mexican taco/burrito places I've been to. The food is simply amazing and the staff does everything to serve you well. Frazer has more food choices then some of the other places: horchata, lingua, menudo, tamales, chichironies, etc. The flavor explodes in your mouth, BYOB, and very friendly people work there. We go 2-3 times a week. Everything is fresh. read more

Best shrimp tacos I've ever had! Quite busy during lunchtime so I would try and come earlier or later after the lunch rush. My friend got the quesadilla with the Tinga chicken and we were served pretty quickly also. The staff was happy and were so friendly! Loaded with shrimp, and so fresh read more

Never thought I would find an authentic Mexican food joint in the middle of Pennsylvania, but El Limon debunked my presumption. I ordered their deluxe nachos, tacos and the taquitos so I can't speak on their other items obviously. The deluxe nachos were excellent. I would prefer these nachos over any nachos dish that you find at your local Applebees/TGIF. We ordered our nachos with carne asada and they give you plenty of meat on top. The meat flavor was spot-on and the chips themselves are tasty too. The same can be said for their tacos although their tortillas weren't anything special, but I didn't think they were bad either. Fortunately, all the tacos come with a ridiculous amount of meat so you're definitely getting your money's worth. Their hot sauces/salsas are great as well. The taquitos were great in that they had potatoes in them along with chicken and they were fried really well. My only complaint would be that their pico de gallo seemed a bit lacking but I suppose if you were to combine the pico de gallo with one of their hot sauces, it is a good combination. Other than that, I would highly recommend El Limon to those who are craving legit authentic Mexican food. read more

Don't let the exterior fool you. This place is a legit taqueria with BANGING tamales! We tried the chips and salsa, pork tamale, tacos dorado, carnitas taco, shrimp fajitas and tres leches cake. Everything was super flavorful and the service was excellent. This is the real deal Mexican food you want. read more

Amazing find!! Salsa and guacamole was fresh! We ordered chicken tacos and veggie enchiladas with mole sauce (must to have a mole sauce). Red and Green sauce are delicious. Quality of the food and taste was really great! Great service too! read more

Fantastic place been to a Mexican restaurant after a vary long time. They serve fresh food and the tortillas were a feast, they def were not factory made!! And the of course the food was served fast... read more

The Best Authentic Mexican place I have been to in the Philly area. I hear there is a sister restaurant in Conshohocken PA. I need to try that place out. My co-worker order the fish tacos, I ordered the shrimp and our friend ordered the burrito. I loved the fish tacos. They were very tasty and seasoned well. I have been to a rural place in Mexico where they made us tacos and the taste was very similar. The shrimp tacos are okay. They packed a ton of shrimp in the taco but that also made the shrimp fall out very easily. It was a little harder to eat. The refried beans were also excellent. Easily a place I would take anyone looking for an authentic taste. read more

Great tasting and fresh Mexican food! Friendly and helpful service. Nothing is more comforting (to me at least) than the soft sound of sizzling food and clanging pots and pans while savouring a meal and having a quiet conversation with your loved one. We had the Al Pastor Nachos (pork and chorizo) and if she asks (with everything on it, just say YES! And hubbykins had the tongue Buririto, ooooweeeee! it's melt in your mouth! The dishes were well balanced, it's not smothered with sour cream nor cheese. So even if you break your portion controlled diet, you won't get this greasy feel when you finish the plate because, it's so good to the last bite! The ambiance is great if you are not into a frou-frou resturant mode. There is no separation between the kitchen and the dining area, so expect to smell like food if you dine in. There were several take out/ pick up customers while we were there. There are seats facing the kitchen so you can watch while they create the delectable food for you. read more

Yum. Classic, authentic Mexican, low key, great prices, predictable meals and offerings, good size portions. Lots of locations to serve many locales. read more

Best taco place I ever been to in Philadelphia/Malvern. Very authentic tasting and the meat is marinated and juicy. (Steak can be a bit dry but still very good in my opinion). The serving size and price are unmatchable. And don't get me started about the sauces, they keep them refrigerated till you sit at the table. I could drink it straight, that's how good it is. read more

Ordered takeout - fish tacos, torta, and tres leches. Everything was very tasty and prices are very reasonable!

The food is consistently delicious and warm (important since we always order delivery). I wish there was more options to customize the meals ordering online. However, I understand that can become complicated. read more

I've been here about 15 times over the past year.That said, we kind of stopped going there for a while and visited again yesterday which prompted this. Here's my take: Pros: -Delicious -Large Portions -Well Priced -Good selection Cons: -Very Slow -Order will be incorrect 90% of the time, not exaggerating. I'm a fluent Spanish speaker and have even ordered in Spanish some times to try and ensure an accurate order. Not once has it been successful. read more

Great food for a great price. Service was fast and everyone was polite. Love going here
