Value for money

We went for menu of the day which was good value, tasted ok, especially apple cake was nice. I would go back if I could to try some of the things from regular menu. I like the fresh airy decor. Menu felt very dairy heavy for my liking, most things had cheese in them.

Pros: Cheap

Cons: Very dairy heavy menu

Fantástico!!

Muchas opciones vegetarianas y veganas. La comida es deliciosa! Muy buena relación calidad precio. Lo que más me impactó fué el buen ambiente entre los trabajadores y la excelente coordinación de todos cuando el restaurante se llenó de un momento a otro! Impresionante!! Volveré ya que me ha quedado mucho que probar!💚🌱

A must go

While in Puerto Cruz my boyfriend and I went four times to El Limón! Two for a drink and cake, the other two for dinner. In one of our dinners it happened they still had a Menú del Día left so we went for it and some snacks not included in the menu. It was perfect!

The menu is unexpensive and includs a soup, a main dish, a dessert and the juice of the day. Main dish in our case was a delicious quinoa with salad (see pic).

Smoothies are wow. And cakes (almost all of them) vegan. They also have yummy crème caramel (vegan and veggie). And mousse au chocolat.

Stuff is very nice.

Große Auswahl

El Límon bietet eine große Auswahl an vegetarischen und veganen Speisen. Die Karte gibt’s neben spanisch auch auf englisch und deutsch. Außerdem sind hier alle Allergene ausgewiesen, sodass trotz der fehlenden Vegan-Kennzeichnung schnell ersichtlich ist, welches Gericht vegan ist. Hier hilft jedoch auch die freundliche Bedienung gern weiter. Die traditionellen papas con mojo sind hier genauso lecker wie die Kombi-Gerichte mit Tofu, Seitan und Tempeh. Die frischen Smoothies sind eine gute Ergänzung.

Pros: gutes Preis-Leistung-Verhältnis, offene Küche, viele vegane Optionen

Tasty enough

Nice little spot in central Puerto for a spot of lunch in the sun. Friendly staff and a big menu, which they'll happily adapt for your preferences. (Made my quesadilla vegan)

Our food was OK but a little odd/mismatched. Hard to explain... Just the strangest quesadilla I've had, more of a folded flatbread sandwich.

We enjoyed everything we had - especially their mojo sauce - but probably wouldn't rush back.

Pros: Big menu, Helpful staff

Cons: A but expensive for what it is

Really good

Having been there a few days before, we knew what we wanted to order. The warm salad was really tasty - light, yet filling and proteinatious with the tofu. Earthy, red wine to accompany. Reasonably priced. Staff very friendly and accommodating.

Pros: Tasty, Portion size, Staff

Pleasant suprise

Nice and popular restaurant hidden away from the main tourist streets. We had lovely dishes. There could be a bit more variety on the menu but definitely worth checking out.

Lovely place

Clearly marked allergens and loads of vegan options. Had the nachos with avo and hummus, spring roll & tofu burger. With starters, mains and drinks was only about £20 for 2 of us!

Pros: Lots of vegan options, Cheap

Nice place

I tried the tofu burger in the vegan option (without cheese) nachos con humus and avocado. A little bit heavy for me and not enough healthy (too much creamy). Not every day ! Anyway there is many other choice. Végétarian dishes can be veganized.

Delicioso vegetariano!!!

Acogedor local en el centro del Puerto de la Cruz. Menú amplio en el que se indican los alérgenos de cada producto, por lo cual diferenciar lo vegano es muy fácil. Personal muy amable y comida deliciosa, siempre voy acompañada de amigos y familiares no veganos ni vegetarianos y salen encantados, repitiendo incluso. Me encanta!!!

Pros: Comida de calidad y deliciosa

Cons: No es 100% vegano

Appalling and disappointing

Stingy, rude, ridiculous wait times (for a simple sandwich). We wanted to make a vegetarian sandwich vegan, but upon asking to swap the cheese and eggs for mushrooms (I.e. Veganise) we were told by a rude and aloof waiter that it would incur a charge of 3 euros (almost double the price of the sandwich!). This place is very unaccommodating to vegans. Don’t waste your time coming here!

Malaika is a 10 minute walk away, go there! Or if you can venture to the south of the island, go to Zeneize - incredible cheap vegan pizzas!

Pros: None, None, None

Cons: Everything , Everything , Everything

low prices but bad meals

We had been searching for open veg restaurant in the centre of Puerto, so we visited El Limón . We offered nachos with hummus and guacamole, hamburger with "everythind" and spring rolls.
Nachos: good crips, hummus was also good but nothing special and I hope that guacamole was vegan because it tasted like avocado with white yogurt :( ..
Hamburger: It had my boyfriend vegetarian... not good... basic bun with weird mayonaisse, ananas, vegetarian meet and egg ... he had a heavy stomach after...
Spring roolls... it was just one piece and it was full of oil (it was fried) and there was a strange cabbage inside... I could not eat it :(

Pros: stylish interior, prices

Cons: hamburger, spring rolls, nachos

Muy bueno

Tienen bastantes opciones veganas. Me gustó mucho que en la carta especificasen los componentes de alérgenos en cada producto. Me encantaron los bocadillos, que en Tenerife es muy habitual comer bocadillos, y es difícil encontrar un sitio donde hagan un bocadillo vegano. El personal muy amable.

Pros: Bocadillos, Sitio, Personal

Cons: Que no sea 100% vegana, ., .

Vegetarian

A good vegetarian restaurant in Puerto de la Cruz, convenient location in one the pedestrian streets. Pleasant "Old Cafe" style decoration which blends perfectly in the city. Reading the other reviews I do not have any complaints with the staff which was friendly and overall the food good. What I personally find could improve a lot are the availability of vegan options, for being a vegetarian restaurant the vegan options are limited and the menu relies heavily on dairy. Compared to other vegetarian places which usually offer dairy more to fulfill the demand for this products from their clients, here I see it promoted even with objects and signs in the decoration as if milk derivates are something positive. I hope the owners are genuinely not aware of how harmful the dairy industry is and will take time to look into it, hopefully reducing it in the future.

Cons: limited vegan options, Promotes dairy

3 visits 2 good 1 bad!

Went here 3 times. 2 times we were really happy with the service, the food and drinks. The food is fast food style but really tasty. The location is nice and central. BUT! The 3rd time was probably our last. The menu depicts all allergens and we picked a tofu burger. To our surprise we received a burger with goat cheese. We wanted something vegan... We did not so much ask for a vegan burger but there was no cheese in the description and no symbol for lactose/milk. The worst part is when we told the waitress this was not what we ordered (patty did not look like tofu) she tried to convince us it was depicted as the soy symbol... Trying to tell me I can't read a menu is really insulting and at that point we should have left. Because of our good experiences before we waited for our burger without cheese. I know mistakes happen... but if I would have served a burger with cheese to a vegan I would have apologized a 100 times since this is the equivalent of serving meat to a vegetarian.

Pros: Location, Atmosphere , Staff is fast

Cons: Not clear what is vegan, Only go here if you eat vegetarian. , Staff not able to handle complaints

Cheap, creative and tasty

Located in the city center, cheap place especially the lunch menu. Very tasty and healthy meals. Lots of vegan and gluten free options. Staff is very friendly and nice. You can really find many options on the menu, so I'm not going to specify, but if you can go by at lunch time

Pros: Healthy, Many vegan options
