The wife and I ordered a few items through GrubHub to try a variety and see what was good here. Unfortunately, every single bite we took immediately brought us right back to the Great Depression. I would reference the "White People Taco Night" meme, but that would be giving Mexico Lindo far too much credit.
The steak tostada, while looking quite good after unboxing it, was somehow absolutely flavorless despite its numerous ingredients. Even the two tiddlywinks of green salsa that they included did nothing to enhance the flavor as it was almost flavorless.
The beef empanadas were even sadder, consisting of 100% unseasoned ground beef housed in a shell that one would compare to a dessicated Totono pizza rolls if they were being generous.
The chicken fajitas were the most impressive, purely because I never knew that chicken could be this dry. Mexico Lindo somehow managed to cook out all of the moisture from the chicken while also cooking all of the flavor out of the peppers and onions. Three tortillas accompanied the dish, almost as sad and abandoned as the empanada dough While the rice was once again old and dry, the beans had a surprisingly deep flavor...a welcome reprieve from the rest of the "food" here
I would like to believe this was an "off night" for the cooks, but we'll never be back to find out. With fantastic options out there like Tacos Los Campos, I truly can't imagine a reason to ever eat this slop again. Mexico Lindo is a discredit to the Brick food scene and should be ashamed of themselves.

Heard good things. Called for a take out order. Guy puts me on hold for 9 mins. I could hear him taking other peoples orders as they walked in to the restaurant. Guess they dont need my business

Authentic Mexican food. I had the chili Relleno which was delicious. The chilequiles verde con carne were a very light green that I have never seen before but they were not lacking in flavor....they were pretty good. The tamales were a bit dry however. Last time we had tacos al pastor which were delicious. The owners are very nice and friendly. A nice find. They only have 4 tables inside. They do mostly takeout...but both times we ate in and noticed alot of repeat customers and the owners greeting them. Nice customer interaction. I will go back and continue to try new things!

Authentic! Near Brew Pub.
I usually do not like to leave any bad feedback but this time I feel the need to, I am a regular customer always placing orders for pick up. I placed an order tonight for a milanesa de res torta (breaded steak sandwich) the lady who picked up the phone (which seems to be the owner) told me that they did have it, when I came home I noticed they instead gave me a steak torta I was ok with it but when I gave the first bite the steak was extremely salty and the meat tasted horrible when I called them to complain they made it sound like they were going to make things right by exchanging it (I even brought the sandwich back). I told the lady that it was super salty and she gave me a horrible expression, she proceeded to charge me instead and I left. I came home and threw the whole sandwich in the garbage. Again it’s not about the money it’s about the horrible customer service they offered.
Update (since I’m not being able to reply): I did complain about the meat being extremely salty. The other 2 tortas were good, no complains on them but your customer service is unacceptable!

Me and my lady stopped in close to closing time. I've been eyeing the place for years since I live close-by in the summer. I have been avoidant of some local Mexican joints due to the lack of authenticity that I am used to, being from an area that is truly authentic. However, being there for many years says alot! And they are the real deal! Although they were at the end of their day, Aldo asked the crew what they could serve still, and Tacos de Pollo (chicken tacos) was one of the items! We had 2 orders with rice and beans and it was fantastic! And, as an added bonus my girl wanted that anyway, so it was a HIT! As soon as I lifted the bag I realized it was weighty! And the aroma on the way to our favorite picnic spot was tantalizing! The food was perfect! And even the limes were juicy!
It was $21 for both orders and on top of that, I got luckier than I have in years!!! SCORE!!!

I got the chicken burrito. There was hardly any chicken in it, it was all rice, beans, and lettuce, a waste of my $12. Would never go back, avoid this place, it's not worth it.
