The food here was good especially the pupusa and tamales. The rice and the service was awful. We ordered online, but after arriving to the restaurant, it was an hour wait to get the food. One other customer left because it took too long for their to go food. Another group arrived and left because they weren't getting service. There was only one group dinning in so it didn't make sense for the bad service. read more

I've been eyeing this Salvadoran restaurant in Grand Prairie, as I drive along Lake Ridge Parkway between Cedar Hill and I-20. We took the time to stop today and were well rewarded. We arrived there after lunch rush and our waitress was welcoming. El Limeno is bright and comfortable with easy to read menus and table service. It was a very authentic experience including the need to be a little patient with language comprehension of all our questions. We started with an order of 3 Salvadoran Chicken tamales and an order of Fried Plaintains. The tamals were brought out "unwrapped" but on a banana leaf square. I don't know how they were steamed. The masa was good but didn't taste overtly of banana leaves. The chicken was in large tender chunks and the potatoes were big tender pieces. I love Latin tamals and these were a 4/5. Unfortunately, I wanted salsa with mine and had asked for it earlier. We waited while another group that came after us was served all their food before I could remind her. They do not serve complimentary chips and salsa, which I have seen before in other restaurants but we had only hot sauce on the table. Not my thing. She was apologetic and we ended up with lots of little cups of red and green salsa. The fried plantains were definitely fried until crispy and just a little too dry for me, the sweet carmelized Maduro fan. The crema was a nice touch, though. Fried as advertised a 4/5. My husband ordered the El Limeno Plate. A combo fajita plate basically, it came rockin' and rollin' on a fajita skillet. The side plate was overflowing with rice and beans, a big salad with ranch dressing and two salsas, avocado slices and lime with two homemade tortillas. I knew that I wanted pupusas. They have 10 authentic varieties of pupusa here. They are listed in Spanish, but easily Googled if need be. With our waitress' help, I chose Queso and Jalapeño, Queso and Zucchini and Mixta - pork, cheese and bean - as a plate with rice and beans and a slaw. These pupusas are huge! Just look at my photo! They come out hot, too hot to handle and so I used a knife and fork to eat them with. Three were also too many to order. Seriously. You need a really big appetite. The batter is truly delicious and the cheese is yummy. I recommend getting a meat option for additional flavor. The Zucchini was tasty, the jalapeños were spicy and I enjoyed that flavor the most, otherwise it's a lot of cheese. Their scrumptious beans did make the cheesy ones fuller in flavor. Individual pupusa are $2.99 and a bargain. The slaw was vinegary and cut through that cheesy richness. Cold and crunchy, it also had some darn spicy sliced jalapeños in it. Look out for those! My husband's Salvadoran platter was also a large portion for $17.99. We actually took the platter home. He ate all the delicious rice and beans and salad and that combined with a tamal was a lot of food. I took nearly all of my pupusas home and half the tamals. You will not leave here hungry! There is plenty of strip parking and easy access to the restaurant. We had a good time. ¡Buen provecho! read more

We waited about 30mins for some pupusas and yucca, we almost walked out...everything was bland and flavorless. The pupusas were mostly cheese and maybe a speck or two of meat. A long wait and we were the only ones there and there. The lady who served us was nice, but this is definitely and one and done for us. read more

Amazing Salvadoran food and BEST pupusas in DFW, hands down. Went last week for breakfast and got 2 pupusas, a breakfast burrito and 2 tamales for under $20. Everything was fresh and delicious. The icing on the cake is the owner. She is incredibly sweet and even gave me her personal cell number in case I ever needed to make an order directly. Incredible food but even better service in a great location. read more

Amazing Food, Great Prices, Huge Portions! El Limeño Salvadorian restaurant in a strip mall just north of the CVS pharmacy store is a must-visit for anyone craving authentic flavors. Their pupusas are absolutely delicious-- I had the plate with 3 papusas that were crispy on the outside, stuffed with generous fillings, and paired perfectly with fresh pickled cabbage. The caldos are rich, hearty, and packed with flavor, perfect for comfort food lovers on a cold day. Best of all, the prices are super reasonable, and they don't skimp on portions--you'll leave completely satisfied without breaking the bank. A truly amazing gem for incredible food at a great value! read more

I was worried because there were no photos and just one review but I decided to give this family owned business a try. The customer service was really good. I think the son works the counter and he is very kind, friendly, and seems to genuinely be happy that you're supporting the business. There are some tables and chairs inside in case you want to stay and eat at the restaurant. The food... the last review mentioned fresh and that is truly what it is. The food is even better than I had visiting El Salvador. The salsa is the icing on the cake. More people should check this place out. read more
