I recently stopped by Mexico Lindo, and I wanted to share my honest thoughts, especially as someone who has lived in the Corvallis area for a long time. First off, the service here is consistently great—always prompt, attentive, and friendly, which makes the dining experience pleasant. The restaurant also has a nice, warm, and inviting atmosphere, making it a good spot for a casual sit-down meal. When it comes to the food, I'd say it's reliably satisfying. If you're comparing a full dinner plate here to a quick stop at one of the local fast-food Mexican joints, Mexico Lindo is definitely a step up in terms of presentation and the sit-down experience. The chips and salsa are always a solid start to the meal. However, after years of living here and trying other local options, I do feel that the overall value is a little uneven. The food is perfectly fine, but for the typical price point of the entrees, I personally wasn't overly impressed by the flavor or complexity compared to some of the other sit-down or authentic taqueria options available around town. It’s certainly not bad, but for the price, I was hoping for something that stood out a bit more. In summary, Mexico Lindo is a solid, reliable choice for a traditional Mexican restaurant experience in Corvallis, especially if you're looking for friendly service and a comfortable place to sit. It’s a good option when you want something better than fast food, but for true local flavor and value, I might lean toward trying other spots first.

I ordered a burrito with sour cream, my wife ordered a enchilada with guacamole and sour cream. They brought my burrito with guacamole on it which im allergic to so i sent it back. She argued with me saying i asked for guacamole which clearly i would not ask for guacamole. Brings me another plate and still charged me for both burritos, very rude, crappy service and very unprofessional

Been in Oregon for 22 years, travelled to many cities and towns trying different Mexican restaurants. So far Mexico is by far my favorite. Takes me back to my California roots. Excellent service and great food.

Soke with the owner for a few minutes, and she is polite and very kind
Came here for lunch because the Chinese restaurant next door was closed on Wednesday. The service was quick and attentive, with timely drink refills. I'm from Texas and in my opinion, the quality of the food was average at best. I would suggest to make your salsa from scratch as what I was served felt like it came out of a jar. The fried chicken burrito was satisfactory, but the beans and rice need help.
This was okay, not a terrible experience but I would not recommend for specific dietary restrictions. The food was good, but I had asked for the beans and rice to be separated from my order multiple times and they still put it all together anyway. Call me picky, but this was not enjoyable.

This was an interesting experience. Location was nice, service was great. It was sweet to hear staff singing and humming as they served us. Nice clean, bright restaurant. The bummer was the food was nothing special. Instead of dinner, it would be better to have drinks and appetizers. If the food was improved the experience could be fantastic.
