I discovered this place by chance one Sunday during lunchtime. My friend and I received our service quickly and in a friendly way. Here, you’ll find decent Mexican food offered at affordable prices, with large portions and good flavor.
The place feels isolated and stuck in time (with its decor). I noticed they have a lunch buffet special, but it’s only Monday through Friday. I might return to check it out if you’re in the area and want something safe and quick.

I really wanted to like this place. The atmosphere is great. Very vibrant and celebratory. We ordered the chicken flautas and shrimp enchiladas. The flautas were very dry and tasteless. The toppings definitely saved the dish. The beans didn’t taste fresh, almost can like. The shrimp enchiladas were probably the better choice. Slightly fishy but the enchilada sauce was pretty good.

That was a great outing on a Tuesday night, place was not very busy. Love the decor, music from the bar, fajitas were delicious and awesome service! Will definitely go there on a more regular basis to explore the menu!
update we have come here many times over the last year and I have never been disappointed in the food or the service received.
side note: personally I don’t even know why people go to Luna on the Alameda which is way over price and not that great at all. I think Mexico Lindo is much better.

From the moment the waiter took away our drink menu before anything else, nor did he ask… He just seemed “angry at the world”. Then he just abandoned us w no explanation. Wth. THEN, as soon as we received our food, I could smell FISH I quickly identified the beans as the culprit. I could not eat the beans due to said issue and the rest of the food was nblah at best. THEN, the “?ground” beef? Felt like mush meat, tasted like Fast food overly “filled w fillers” mush, rather than ground beef. Idk But again, the 1st waiter was a hot mess and unattentive. Our “new” wait staff was a bit more customer friendly. ? ARAVELLA, the waitress, made up for his/? lack of customer service skills.

I came to eat here yesterday with my family for Father’s Day, the food was excellent, and the service was as well. We were attended by Naomi, we had a great time, and were treated like family. The drinks were great especially the micheladas, the best I’ve had in a while. My only complaint while there was the family that allowed their children to run around the restaurant and almost bumped into other guests. Besides that, everything was great, thank you to the servers and bartender who promptly served us, despite it being busy during the time we went!!!

Decided to try this place on our never ending search for good Mexican food. This was a pleasant surprise! I had the beef enchiladas with rice and beans. I always checkout the beans first as a indicator for how good the rest will be. Not disappointed. The beef was a little under spiced but overall it was really good. I thought the prices were a little high, but high rent probably plays it’s part. Service was good and the staff was friendly. We went early, 430pm, so not very crowded so parking was fine. Would recommend.

We enjoyed our visit so much! The portions are huge and the food is delicious. I like the fact that even though they serve large portions, the plating isn’t so bad. Our waitress was very kind, attentive and patient with all of our questions regarding their menu. Because of this, we tend to go more often when my friend comes to visit. We even have a favorite table now. If you ever go to visit, I hope you enjoy yourselves too!!! #Chicken Quesadilla #Chile Relleno #Carnitas #Steak and Eggs

Picked up an order for lunch on a Tuesday (day after we effectively went into purple tier). Amicable staff, were quick to take our order and food was ready within 10 minutes. Little area to park in their parking lot due to the tent for outdoor dining. No other customers were there, seemed pretty slow but they plan to reopen outdoor dining once the rain dies off. That said, brought the food home and it was still warm. The super burrito was up to par with superb condiments complementing the moist, tender chicken. No additional salsa needed as this was ready to eat out of the foil. The chorizo and egg plate was also pretty delicious albeit standard for a Mexican restaurant (to be honest, it is pretty hard to mess this up). Frijoles and arroz were decent as well. Glad they provided utensils and presentation of food was good. Price commensurates food quantity and quality.
