    Chicken Tinga Quesadilla
    Rob S.

    Never had been before but was in Ambler and saw some folks going in and out around lunch on a weekday. Looked at reviews and thought I'd give it a try. The hostess at the front was very nice and it was a very slow time as I was 1 of 3 people in the restaurant. I ordered the Chicken Tinga Quesadilla but swear I did not get that as the meat used did not look anything like what I expected or the Chicken Tinga looked like on other reviews etc. Ultimately it wasn't bad but wasn't the best. Seemed extremely salty and also the cheese or something had a weird aftertaste that lingered. When I dipped it into the salsa verde and sour cream it seemed to help but overall wasn't something I'd come back for. Great salsa, should of maybe just got some Chips & Salsa for lunch instead.

    Grilled Chicken Burrito
    Nika M.

    I went to the resturant El Limon on 12/23/25. I was greeted right away when I walked in and asked for a table for 1. Ordered a Grilled Chicken Chipotle Burrito as well as 3 Grilled Chicken Supreme Tacos with a side of Jalapenos and an order of Tortilla Soup to go. Ate a portion of the Burrito, was delicious as always cooked to perfection. I also ate the Chicken Supreme Tacos, they were delicious as well! My server was very friendly and checked on me several times to make sure I was okay and didn't need anything else. I was NOT rushed at all and enjoyed my meal, as well as the very attentive employees. The Tortilla Soup to go was excellent as always. Thank you for a delicious meal and wonderful experience.

    Shrimp Tacos

    Went here for lunch on a weekday.. few tables were occupied. Food was ok - little bland.. service was good but very quick.

    Tacos Dorados
    Kristin C.

    Came here with a group of friends last night and we were not disappointed. All around delicious food prepared fresh and served hot. Service was very good. Waiter was attentive. The tacos dorados had so much flavor. We were absolutely stuffed when leaving. I'm also really digging the new decor. They must have bought new tables and chairs recently. It looks really great!!!

    Free Margs! El Limon is a quality Mexican restaurant with a wide selection of menu options. They are a step up from fast causal and always seem to provide friendly service. As mentioned, feel free to ask for your free margarita when you order. For my latest trip, we got an al pastor sope, shrimp enchilladas, and a burrito. That was more than enough food for two. The enchilladas were stuffed with shrimp. They'll bring out your food with a food hot sauce options should you want to try. If you like, save room for dessert as they have a handful of good options to try.

    They still provide complimentary margaritas Which is pretty nice We had tacos and burritos , always right choice Consistently Reasonable price and taste! Loved the mexican music played in the restaurant Loved atmosphere on nice sunny sunday late afternoon/early evening!

    Tinga and chorizo burrito with chipotle sauce
    Chris C.

    This place is our goto burrito joint. It's quick, super affordable and always good. I typically get a two meat burrito (chicken tinga and chorizo) which is a great combination. Add there homemade chipotle sauce and it's fantastic. And did I mention free margaritas? They are pretty mild, but a nice addition to any meal. They also have both green and red sauce at your table. The green has great flavor without any burn. The red differs from time to time. Sometimes it has a bit of heat and other times it can be pretty much fire! So if you're hungry for a burrito, this is a great place to try.

    Pitiful service

    Buyer beware when ordering online for delivery via their website. If they don't have a driver they won't spend the five seconds to call you and instead will let the food go cold and wait for you to check in on it. They'll let you know the driver isn't available tonight but you can come pick it up now that an hour has past since it's expected delivery time (90 min from order placed). They'll insist they don't have your phone number despite it being listed on email confirmation. Steer clear!

    Vegetable Quesadilla
    Malcolm W.

    Came here with my family. It was 9 of us but they seated us quickly. The food was great. I had the vegetable quesadilla. I added the sauce on the table. DELICIOUS! Good food at a great price!

    Went here today for lunch for first-time visit. I will say that if you're looking for "fine…read moredining," then this wouldn't be the venue for you. If you're looking for delicious food- fairly affordable, and great service- this is the place. The guacamole was amazing. I even felt like the chips were better than most Mexican restaurants. I tried a steak bowl; it was DELICIOUS. I can't wait to go back and try more. I also liked that their cups were cold, and their menu didn't just feature the same thing most Mexican restaurants serve- it wasn't just chain restaurant fully delicious but common fare- this many had a few different options. Give them a try. I don't think you will be disappointed!

Being from Arizona, I eat quite a bit of Mexican food and do get some authentic eats since we are so close to Mexico. I was a little worried trying Mexican food in the east coast, but we were both really happy with the food we got here. The service was very friendly and the location was very clean. I appreciate the staff assisting with boxes as we definitely ordered more than we can eat as we wanted to try various items. It was great for leftovers and a midnight snack as I can get munchy at different times due to the time zone difference. I'd definitely return when visiting her and would recommend to anyone in the area if they want Mexican cuisine.

But the actual food was very disappointing. We had two cheesesteaks, a roast pork with broccoli rabe, and a panzarotti. The latter was like a giant deep-fried ravioli, with a super-dense shell. It's on me for not liking it, it came as advertised. I had been hoping for something like a simplified calzone. I won't ding them for my mistake. But the steaks and roast pork had something weird about them, sort of a burnt flavor permeating the meat without any actual visible burning. My best guess is that it was related to the griddle, maybe burnt oil or something that had carbonized earlier in the day and not been cleaned off. I've been scarfing down cheesesteaks for 50 years and this particular yucky flavor was new to me. But it was also present to a lesser degree in the roast pork, which probably never touched the griddle. I don't know. But the sandwiches got a few bites and were set aside. My teen daughter got the furthest, through half an Amsterdam steak before giving up. This seems like a cool and quirky outpost, but now that 3 sandwiches and the panza-thing are $70, I have to discriminate carefully.
