I've been eyeing this Salvadoran restaurant in Grand Prairie, as I drive along Lake Ridge Parkway…read morebetween 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!

This is a vibrant, no frills, take out/dine outside establishment serving up some of the best Mexican classics I have had in a minute. The queso birria tacos here are my absolute favorite. They are meaty, crispy and chock full of meat and a decent size. The green salsa that comes on the side is unapologetically spicy and fragrant of tomatillos. The churros are also my all time favorite. Soft, pillowy inside and not too hard on the outside and always fried fresh with a thick and delicious caramel filling. There is so much about this place that I love from it's proximity to my harrowing chapter of personal grief and the owner who always remembers me as the "no pork" Muslim girl he gets to see a handful of times a year. I can't wait to keep returning and trying things off their menu. An absolute must visit if you're in Grand Prairie!!

The Tortas here are pretty popular, and that is the only reason why we come here! Two people can share one. I never finish mine only half.

A must try: Horchata, taste very fresh and homemade, doesn't taste powdery.For dessert I recommend the Strawberry Filled Churro, very gooood! I wanna drive there just to get some right now. LOL.
