El Limon Chestnut Hill is a restaurant that offers flavorful and budget-friendly Mexican food on Germantown Avenue in Chestnut Hill. It is a great place for both small and large groups, as it can accommodate a party of ten without the need for reservations. The restaurant features a peaceful atmosphere, and while the service is described as nice, it can be slow when busy. Customers have praised the friendly and knowledgeable staff, and the pleasant dog-friendly patio, which has nice Hispanic music and a view of the train station, adds to its charm.
The menu offers a variety of options, including tacos and salads, with the tortilla salad being a popular choice. The beef tongue quesadilla and the empanadas, particularly the vegetable one, received positive feedback. Some customers noted that the fish tacos were bland, but many enjoyed dishes like enchiladas with barbacoa and mole, and alambres. The toppings on the dishes could be individually selected, which would be helpful for those with dietary restrictions. Additionally, dishes like quesabirrias and tortas come highly recommended, and the salsa verde is praised as the best one customer has had. The restaurant also offers free margaritas, enhancing the dining experience.
Overall, El Limon Chestnut Hill is a good option for those looking for authentic Mexican food at reasonable prices. It is a local gem that provides fast service, generous portions, and a pleasant atmosphere, making it a popular spot for both first-timers and regulars. With great hours and BYOB options, it is one of the few places that offers solid late-night food.
