    Great service. Folks is in shirts and ties. Love it. Great seating. Food was good. Mint lemonade was fresh and flavorful. Steak quesadilla was really good although I was not expecting beans. The people knew I liked spice and brought out a spicy sauce. Would recommend

    Cajun Shrimp Taco Meal

    It was a Saturday night, and we since Mexican food is a favorite cuisine around here, we wanted to try a new place. My husband found El Limón when searching for newer spots, and we decided it was worth a visit. Tucked away just off Plymouth Rd, El Limón offers fresh and delicious options served up by friendly and hospitable staff. They saw our little one and immediately got a melamine plate and plastic cutlery out. I picked the Cajun shrimp taco dinner, and the portions were generous. I had planned to share, but neither of my companions likes too much spice, so I got the meal all to myself. I was able to take some of it home for a repeat the next day! The staff was very welcoming and let our kiddo try a sample of mango smoothie. I saw the sugar rush as their eyes widened with the first sip, and their review was that it was good! El Limón is a great spot for a bite of Mexican food and well worth a visit!

    Fantastic casual dining. My favorite thing about this restaurant is the friendly, caring, and funny staff. They make me want to dine here everyday! There's a variety of seating for individuals, families, and larger groups around the place for any occasion, and there's beautiful art and decor to enjoy. But let's talk food! The menu has a ton of options, each meal sounding delicious and unique. You can't find this type of food anywhere else. You can't beat the price for this quality, either. I can't wait to return and order everything else they have to offer!

    Normally I wouldn't bother reviewing someplace I just popped in because it looked open and had Mexican food; but the number of 5 star reviews makes me wonder if it's the same restaurant? First, the atmosphere is okay considering it's in a strip mall; not great, not terrible. The menu was a surprise, as we were expecting Mexican, but it is Mexican/MidEastern. You order at the counter, and they bring your food to the table. Being familiar with both cuisines, I had no interest in combining the two. Vegetarian options were limited to cold dry rice, barely cooked red and green peppers, hard falafel, bland grape leaves, soft (no hard) shells. The tacos consisted of dry ground beef on top of soft shells. I asked for sour cream and salsa to jazz it up, I received a tablespoon of each item. The guy working was nice and friendly; not sure how so many reviewers mention 'the owner'. was that him? No clue. My review based on food alone would be a ONE, but the nice server guy helped make the situation palatable.

    El Limon is the first Mexican/Middle-Eastern fusion restaurant I've ever seen and was intrigued enough to visit. We stopped in for a late lunch and got the following: Chicken Shawarma Burrito ($8.40) - This is a decently hefty burrito, but mostly filled with long grain rice. Even though the menu offers either Spanish rice or cilantro-lime, this rice was neither. It was on the drier side, similar to what you would see in a Middle-Eastern rice dish. There was only a very small amount of chicken shawarma in the burrito; it was pretty moist but was in larger chunks that were not shaved from a spit like a traditional shawarma. No crispy edges. There was some slightly spicy jalapeno toum in the burrito that was the only source of moistness - not nearly enough to counteract the dryness of the rice. This restaurant really needs a salsa bar. A typical chicken shawarma sandwich works because of the chicken/pickles being slathered in toum - for this burrito rendition, there is way too much rice for the amount of sauce. There was some iceburg lettuce, tomato and corn that added some freshness and the burrito was grilled on the flat top on one side, resulting in a nice crispy edge. A small amount of mostly unmelted shredded cheese rounded out the dish. It seems to be a common theme here that the cheese isn't melted. (3/5) Grape Leaves Falafel El Limon Bowl ($12.95) - I was expecting a little too much from this dish - I thought it would be like deconstructed grape leaves, with maybe a leaf on the bottom, rice/falafel/sauce in the middle, and another grape leaf on top. But instead, this was essentially Middle-Eastern rice with pinto beans and some falafels and grape leaves on the side. The rice was the same rice that was in the burrito. The grapes leaves were not great - the rice mixture inside was extremely mushy. The falafel were fried well but nothing special; seemed to me like a food service falafel. They were topped with some cilantro and tahini. There were some peppers and chips on the top, which, along with the beans, I guess makes this Mexican fusion? (3/5) El Limon is certainly an interesting concept, but probably one I wouldn't go to again. I wouldn't really consider this a fusion restaurant either - the amount of fusion is pretty minimal. It seemed more like they just put two cuisines adjacent to each other.

    Shoutout to my friend and fellow foodie Tiffany for always being down to try a new spot together!…read moreWe did a double date at El Harissa recently and it's my favorite kind of spot - welcoming and warm, with delicious food, and kind, patient employees. The cafe is a few tables inside of the market/deli, with a lot of takeout happening but I love that they offer dining in as they heat everything up for you and it's all presented very nicely. We ordered a ton of things: harissa dip, hummus, pita, spice roasted cauliflower, tabbouleh, lasagne verde, chicken tagine, and gelato. I loved that the menu indicates which menu items have a smaller carbon footprint - and we happened to be dining there on Earth Day! The food was all flavorful and the perfect temperature, which I appreciated. My favorites were the harissa dip, tabbouleh, and the lasagne verde. The chicken tagine was very good, and we enjoyed the leftovers the next day. The spice roasted cauliflower left us wanting it to be a bit more crispy, but it was a nice side. The gelato is delicious - it's made by Palazzolo's but El Harissa provides them with the unique ingredients for their specialty flavors. They were out of some but we got to sample several. We ended up with the roasted pistachio gelato and the apricot peach cardamom. The texture of the gelato was perfectly creamy and the flavors were strong. The market has lots of great items to buy: chips, tunisian olive wood pieces, spices, etc. I'm so glad we sought out this spot and can't wait to get more of their food!

    Finally got to try El Harissa with Yelper Katy C and our SOs! It's fast casual style - where you…read moreorder at the counter and they bring your food to you. Had the: *Spice Roasted Cauliflower (Crispy cauliflower florets coated and baked in rice and chickpea flour and our North African spice blend. Served with Harissa Dip) Small/1-2 Portion - $11): A little soggier than I'd like but the flavors were good! I also like the harissa dip it came with! *Small Merguez Meatballs (Inspired by the Maghrebi sausage, our spiced lamb and beef meatballs are hand-rolled with onions and herbs and coated with a thick tomato sauce. Served with saffron rice or couscous - small portion came with 3 for $10): For meatballs that included lamb - it wasn't gamey at all and very tasty! I picked cous cous for my side. *Chicken Chermoula (Brined, seared, then baked to capture all of its flavor, our crowd-favorite chicken is juicy and delicious. Served over rice with our herby, garlicky, lemony Chermoula Sauce - Double Portion - $18): Our main entree to share. The lemony chermoula sauce was delish. Chicken was perfectly cooked - not dry at all! Mujadara Rice (A Levantine staple of spiced green lentils and rice. Ours is adorned with carefully caramelized golden onions for a touch of savory-sweetness - small for $8) - SO tasty! I could eat this on its own. Maghrebi Chili (Smoky and spicy. Ground beef seasoned with Harissa spices and slowly cooked with chickpeas, lentils, black beans, peppers, and loads of vegetables - Small/Pint - $9.50) - FIBER CITY! Flavors were really good! We also had SO much gelato - they basically let us sample all of them. ended up with the pistachio and tiramisu. I'll be back - especially for a salad with their wonderful chicken - seems like a great healthy option!
