My wife with 8 friends were seated and immediately told no separate checks. Waited 25 minutes and went and asked if they could order and he said he was very busy they would have to wait. They went a couple doors down to the Italian restaurant and were welcomed with open arms even though they had a couple other large groups. Been going here for years and have never gone back. This happened a few months ago but needed to share. First ever review.....

No authentic Mexican food at all. Used microwave to warm up food. Salsa and chips were good tho.

I felt very much rushed. I was trying to enjoy my drink after work, and the waitress literally badgered me every 1min. This is the 2nd time I felt rushed in this establishment when there was literally nobody in there. Nobody else was being pushed out except me. Is it cuz I'm BLACK. Idk, but the wait staff needs to know a good balance when it comes to service. I'm not comin back based on the fact I feel pressure and can't even enjoy the ambiance in peace.

Addicted to this place as their food is a varied menu of made-well recipes when you are craving authentic Mexican Food. Mariachis' also make it a nice outing when the players are there Friday and Saturdays with a nice friendly crowd enjoying the surroundings.

High prices and small portions are things I become accustomed to at restaurants these days but beyond that food quality is something to expect. The carne asada here is so tough that I could not chew or swallow it turned out to be a complete waste of food, time and money.

Food was not very good - very little flavor and overcooked. Service was sub par, with needing to ask multiple times for water and no one came by for refills. Dinner took over 1.5 hours, which is the longest time I've spent at a Mexican restaurant.

Attention Edited to reply to owner’s response to my review can find it belowAt the entrance the hostess doesn't speak a word of Spanish the server a gentleman that started to help me super kind and professional then later i interacted with a lady that came over to my table and started to argue with me over so inappropriate subject discrimination. Which at this point she discriminated against me. I don't know her name she's old middle aged I would say with glasses I decided to leave due to her disrespectful behavior and nasty attitude towards me and check this out the worst is that she kept smiling at me to the point that i told her are you going to keep arguing with me she said no but im right again her topic discrimination she walked away i got up and walked away as i was closer to the main entrance to leave i look at her i said im leaving she said ok thank you! With a smirky smile. I said im leaving because you are so rude. My understanding is that she has been working there for years need to cut off bad weeds i believe she managed the interaction with clients as she pleases. of course she is not the one that pays the restaurant bills. im sure owners might have been very careful not to offend people the give them business. Her topic Discrimination" honestly does what she does. Please find this lady's name and post it ain't coming back unless i get an apology from her I don't think so people like her come around to be pretty fake. i might be wrong but im pretty sure im on point. Too many years working there doesn't give her the right to bring subjects about discrimination against with people that come to and want to enjoy a meal. The question is did i discriminate anyone in the restaurant? The clear answer is No. that lady went on and on talking about discrimination because the hostess happened to not speak Spanish at all well no big deal she made it a big deal and ended up to be a big issue for me to put up with such disrespect.plus i ended up not eating however plate was already on the table and she thought i was going to stay there just because food arrived at the table while she continued to argue with me about discrimination what that has to do with me?EditedAttention” replied to owner on January 24 2024.In response to your reply. Common sense that apologies shouldn’t be forced whatsoever other than that I only wish what you wish for me. I’m sending back to you what you gave to me for instance in this case you gave nothing but… . ..etc. .you can complete the sentence if you like. For future reference no review is absurd just so you know. I wouldn’t review the food because I didn’t even touch the food not a single bite i never put a food in my mouth from the plate I was served I should’ve mentioned that earlier on my original review and afterwards. No chance to taste the food. Arrogance at its prime in this place. Clearly i was discriminated against based on their response if at some point any doubts? It’s pretty evident on the way they treat people in their restaurant check it out if they don’t happen to erase their response to my review. i would not be surprised if they do.

Great food, good service. Nice place. More expensive than most Mexican restaurants in our area. Will go back. My wife asked for tomatoes on her tacos, that did not happen. I asked for a little lemon for my meal, had to ask twice. It would have been nice to have salt and pepper at the table. I still gave a 20% tip just because I am nice. For $72.00 including tip for two people is a bit overpriced. I only had ice tea and my wife had water. Like I said we loved the food so will try again. Would love to have this restaurant as our go to Mexican place. Will have to see

I just got home from a delightful lunch at this restaurant. I was there with a group of ladies and we had a wonderful time. The food was delicious. Lily, our server, brought us exactly what we asked for and gave us great service. She checked back several times, and was very patient and gracious as each of the ladies asked for additional items. She refilled our drinks and brought us our checks and was just a great server. This has been one of my favorite restaurants for a long time and I have had consistently good experiences there. Thank you Mexico Lindo.

We have lived fairly close to this restaurant for 14 years and found it only a few months ago. We have now been back multiple times. Food is delicious and service has always been great. Family oriented and just great staff and food.

I've been going here with my family for over 30 years. Love their chicken tacos and rice and beans but everything is good here. Food comes fast in restaurant and when ordering takeout.
