This food is horrendous and overpriced. We got 6 different meals and 5 of them were awful. There were bones in our seafood enchilada, the steak fajita burrito was so fatty I couldn’t even chew the steak. The kids meal was literally a half a quesadilla for $12 and my kids left hungry. Bathroom toilets wouldn’t flush either. The only positive thing was that our server was really nice. Overall, horrible place and I don’t recommend it to anyone.

Staff in all very polite and attentive, mix drinks were on point, food generous amount on the plates, a bit crowded for wheelchair accessibility but they make it work. We loved it and would go back.Kid-friendliness: I've seen children in there and they seemed comfortable.Wheelchair accessibility: A bit tight, but they make it work to make sure you have room to pass and adjust.

What has happened to Mexico Lindo? This use to be such a good restaurant. We stopped here for a late lunch this afternoon. It was the first time I'd been here in about a year, This used to be a place we frequented pretty regularly when we lived in the area. The prices have gone up and they are charging for chips and salsa. No biggie. Everything has gotten more expensive and the profit margins in restaurants are slim. So I didn't mind. However, the salsa tasted like straight tomato sauce. Actual Hunts, from a can. This is not an exaggeration. No seasoning, no spicy, no onion or jalapeño. Just a (very) few pieces of cwhat I assume was cilantro swimming in canned tomato sauce. My daughter ate a chicken chimichanga. It was extremely bland and the chicken was very dry. She only took a couple of bites then gave up. I had carne asaada tacos. The meat was flavorful but the cut was a really ooor quality-tough and lots of cartilage. I had to spit several pieces out. The tortillas also crumbled to pieces as soon as I picked them up. So they probably were stale. Both of the dishes we had are things we have tried there before and they've been great other times. I noticed the menu was different. So it's possible they have new owners and/or a new chef. In any case, It's so sad to see the quality of the food here decline so drastically. The staff however, is their saving grace. Both the host and waitress were awesome! The host greeted us and we were offered any available table immediately. He promptly brought menus and water. The waitress took our order promptly and she was attentive and super sweet! Both of them checked on us a couple times, making sure we didn't need anything. If I could rate the service alone, I'd give them 5 stars.

Was short $10 so had to wait for a wire to come through. A worker called my friend and I "ghetto" and told me to "pay your f*cking bill, you cheap *ss b*tch". I recorded her accosting us and she grabbed my phone and threw it across the room. I hope this racist person gets fired. Pictured below:

Server was very kind, attentive and fast! Food was great and margs were fantastic. If you are in search of atmosphere, margs and good food you have found the place. Seemed like a lot of locals go here too.

We used to love this place , but it changed: Service Slow Margarita's just OK I really liked the Grande Burrito. The one a had last night the beef was hard to cut with a knife. Gave up eating it less than half way through. I don't mind that prices went up so much as the quality took a hit.

My first time eating here and I saw a roach on the floor. I passed it off, ordered my meal and didn't notice a different roach in my meal(see attached picture). They took the meal off the bill but won't be coming back.

We arrived and checked in and were immediately seated outside, which was fine. They seated us with no menus, so we expected to receive them from our server. After about 10 minutes of waiting, another table was seated next to us, also with no menus. Another 10 minutes went by and the table seated after us received menus and waters. I figured they would bring us the same shortly after, but never did. About five minutes later, a waitress came over and took the table next to us’ order. She then noticed we didn’t have menus and asked if we’d been seated (we said yes), and gave us the menus from the other table. The table next to us received the margaritas they had ordered a couple minutes later, but we never had someone come back to take our order. After waiting about 35 minutes total, we left. Can’t rate the food, cause we never got any.

Great place to have a beer, staff is very nice, the food sucks so bad, most of my party didn't eat theirs. They lack flavor. My stomach hurt after eating the fajitas which has weird ingredients in it. The meat was bad I think. Don't eat here.

Was a bit of a wait as it was during peak hours but the food was excellent and the wait was worth it. Large portions! Wait staff was attentive.

They are busy, but the server still got everything we needed, despite. The food however, was beyond disappointing. I’m not quite sure how you can be bad at Mexican food, but that was the case. The food was absolutely bland and flavorless. Took two bites of my enchiladas with beans and rice and couldn’t take anymore. Never had such disappointing Mexican food in my entire life. :(

The good: Veggie quesadillas are good. Drinks are strong. Server was nice. The bad: Black beans are way, way over salted. Margaritas - two kinds, skinny and top shelf with Patron - had no flavor. And they automatically add a 20% tip for a party of two, without warning. Not my favorite Mexican place.

Service was okay.Street tacos were way overcooked and dry. No flavor.Chips/salsa mediocre at best.Margarita was average.

Last night will be our last night there!If you have to pay for chips and salsa, in a Mexican restaurant, and there is no salsa served with the meal unless you pay extra, it’s downright pathetic. It’s like paying extra for the dressing with the salad. Also don’t have 2 item combo and the 3 item combo doesn’t give tamale as an option. Food is basic and ok, but not worth it. So long, been coming here since it opened, but no mas.
