| - I'm between an A-Okay and an I'm a Fan. In other words, a 3.5. I'd come again, but I'm still slightly ambivalent.
Had a sit-down meal with mother dearest today. Even before we ordered, my mother sat down and we were given a basket of complimentary nachos and salsa. That was a lovely starting touch. The owner is incredibly friendly. He is also incredibly hospitable.
Had:
"Special" meal ($10.95) - one chicken chimichanga and one ground beef enchilada, served with rice, beans and salad. Most of the menu choices at Mexico Lindo have filling options, but this special meal had pre-set fillings. I don't know whether they can be substituted for other fillings. I neglected to ask. The plate came super hot (temperature-wise), as the enchilada had been in the oven on the plate it was served on. I'm guessing that the chimichanga was soggy because it had been baked after it had been deep fried. That was a slight bit of a downer. The enchilada was tasty. The ground beef was not particularly special. Tasted kinda like homemade taco beef. Lots of it though. That was a nice touch. So was the red salsa and the green salsa (on opposite ends of the enchilada separated by a middle of sour cream). Chicken in the chimichanga was a tad dry. Lots of cheese on top though. Mmmm. Melted cheese. Rice was decent, although my first bite was incredibly salty. Beans were pureed and slightly spicy. I wish they were a tad more savory though. Salad was lettuce with corn, red onions, tomato, black beans and possibly some feta. Served with a vinegary dressing.
Pulled pork Quesadilla ($6.95 for quesadilla only) - crisp tortilla. Inside was pure pulled pork. Tortilla topped with sour cream. Pulled pork was delicious and tender. Savory, not bbq sauce sweet. Pulled pork was the highlight of the entire meal. Next time I come, I'm getting something with pulled pork filling. Price wise, entirely decent as well.
