| - I have been to one other "Lindo," and I have to say that its location paled in comparison to this one. The vistas from this resto are fantastic -- you can see the entire Vegas skyline and the atmosphere inside the resto is very bright and cheerful.
Too bad the small parking lot cannot accommodate the number of diners here on a Sat. night. This is the second time I've had dinner here on a weekend and waited for more than 15 min for a spot!
But, onto the food.... the food at Lindo is surprisingly bland for a Mexican place. The table-side prep of the guac is a nice touch (as was the guac itself -- our server made it perfectly)... though the rest of the meal was so-so. My girl and I shared two shrimp entrees -- the shrimp enchiladas and the shrimp a la diablo. Both were served SUPER SIZE style -- seriously. We should have gotten one entree to share between the two of us.... We would have packed the excess... had the food been better. SIGH.
Unfortunately, the Diablo in the shrimp dish must have gotten lost somewhere in the kitchen. Despite a couple of red chiles that I saw floating in the bright red sauce in which the shrimp were served, this dish was SUPER bland. Talk about a bait and switch!! As for the enchiladas, the tortilla to everything else ratio (cheese, sauce, shrimps) was off.... each time I took a bite, all I tasted was the mushy tortilla.
Oh well.... at least the place is pretty, and the servers are nice. Next time, I'll stick to liquids (their margaritas on the rocks are good), and guac.
