The food is great, but the carne asada steak size was about 75% that of Pepe's taco. If they're going to cut back on portions to save a dollar, then it's not worth it. Too many competitors exist to be just blatantly cheap.
Very good food here

We had such a great time at Mexico Lindo, and I want to take a moment to share our full experience because everything from the food to the drinks to the service really stood out.
I ordered the Pollo Special, and it came out hot, juicy, and full of flavor. The chicken was tender and well-seasoned, and the portion size was very generous—it felt like a complete meal that was both hearty and satisfying. It came with sides that balanced the plate perfectly, and I appreciated the attention to detail in how everything was presented. My fiancée went with the tacos al pastor, and she couldn’t stop talking about how good they were. The meat had that perfect mix of smoky and slightly sweet flavors, and the toppings were fresh, colorful, and added the right amount of crunch and brightness. You can tell they put a lot of care into making them authentic.
We started the meal with their cheese dip, and honestly, I could have eaten that by itself all night. It was creamy, perfectly melted, and not overly salty like some places. It paired great with the chips, which were warm and crisp—one of those appetizers you keep going back to without realizing you’ve almost finished the bowl.
For drinks, I tried the strawberry margarita. It had just the right balance of sweet and tart, and the tequila didn’t overpower the fruit flavor, which is exactly what I like in a margarita. My fiancée ordered the paloma, and that drink was a standout too—refreshing, citrusy, and crisp. Both drinks were well-made and tasted like they used fresh ingredients instead of mixes, which makes a huge difference.
The atmosphere in the restaurant was warm and inviting. The staff was friendly, attentive, and quick to make sure we had everything we needed without hovering or making us feel rushed. You could tell they really cared about making sure we had a good experience. The place has a nice balance of being casual enough to relax in, but also cozy and welcoming enough that it feels special when you sit down for a meal.
Overall, this was one of the best dining experiences we’ve had in a while. The food was delicious, the drinks were excellent, and the service was top-notch. If you’re looking for a place with authentic flavors, generous portions, and a friendly atmosphere, I definitely recommend Mexico Lindo. We’ll absolutely be back to try more of the menu, but for now, the Pollo Special, tacos al pastor, cheese dip, margarita, and paloma all get five stars from us

I had to call Chuy for a price for a catered dinner and received a quote right away…..
I have eaten there before while living in Indiana, now in Florida my daughter asked me to get her quotes for a catered dinner I called a few but Mexico Lindo acted fast. I trusted Chuy and he and the Mexico Lindo staff came through. The food was DELICIOUS, prepared with all the toppings and ingredients this event was the most important thing in the world to my daughter so this had to be right. Mexican food at a wedding usually is prepared by family and I felt Chuy understood the assignment and the kitchen staff made the Food with Love. I will recommend Mexico Lindo and last night made lots of new customers from Purdue University last night because everyone loved the food and took leftovers and raved all night long. Sincere Thanks, Dominguez, Plaza, Alkujobe Family.

This restaurant offers some of the best Mexican food that I have had in Northwest Indiana. Being from Illinois, I am picky with my Mexican food. I ordered the cheese steak tacos and Nachos with Chorizo. Everything, including the margaritas and service, was excellent.
