El Limon Havertown

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!

My son and his kids took me here for a Mother's Day lunch. They still had up decorations for Cinco de Mayo, which were fun. Three of his kids shared an order of chicken nachos, and there was still some left over. I tasted the guacamole from their order and liked it - mild, which I prefer. The rest of us had tacos supreme, as we all like lettuce and tomatoes on our tacos. I had lengua and carne asada, and preferred the latter. I chose corn tortillas, which I have always preferred. They were small, so some of the filling fell out, but they were doubled so didn't fall apart. Service was good, and prices weren't raised for the holiday.

My favorite Mexican spot! The steak nachos or carnitas tacos or carnitas burrito with mole sauce are my top choices! Their food is always on point and better than most of the other locations of this chain.

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.

It's just okay. The food is more on the drier side. Barely any seasoning. Bland. I only go if I'm invited but I would not go there if I get to choose. I will say the customer service is friendly and welcoming but they are severely understaffed. I always see 1 girl waiting tables and she is always busy. Had to wait 15 mins just to get a check. Not worth the hassle for below average food.

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.

Best authentic Mexican food in delco!! There is another El Limon a few minutes closer to me, but I prefer the Havertown store. I usually order online then head right over. It's a 10 minute drive and my order is ALWAYS waiting for me

Really cute little restaurant on a quiet side street. It's a perfect place to sit outside and enjoy a meal. On top of that, the prices are extremely reasonable and the service is friendly. They're also good for takeout.

Delivery was excellent.Taco and tostada : flavor is good n taste is good. Pork caritas good taste but dry.Tosada Al Pastor: okay it is not superb Flan: taste okay, did not taste made from scratch. Similar instant pudding ones that is not good. At price, well over price. Where a good instant pudding is much better. A poor Flan representation.All tast n flavor could be better that why I say it's okay.Then .50 upgrade is hard tell difference between with upgrade.I think this restaurant is good for people spent anytime in Mexico or Southern California. Much better tacos there and much better price. My recommendations stick with cheesesteaks and pizza this is subpar

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