| - I'm going to try to review Mexico Lindo just purely from a general food perspective as I know almost next to nothing regarding Mexican food besides Tex Mex fast food.
I have to admit I was confused as I first stepped in here with the wealth of options and menu items that I haven't come across before, but trying new things is always good, and the special mexican combo seemed to be just that! A full platter of chicken enchilada, beef chimichanga, and some rice, beans, and salad. It's a safe thing to order here for newcomers like me to try some authentic Mexican cuisine.
While we were waiting we were given a complimentary order or homemade tortilla chips and salsa. Before I go and talk about their food, I have to say everything here wasn't overly salty in a good way. The flavors shined through, the food seemed healthy and delicious, especially since fast food Tex Mex seems to really use too much salt. This was a nice change and everything was much 'cleaner' as a result.
Everything was super fresh, there was only one lady in the kitchen, so it did take a while, but it's well worth that wait! The portion size of the Mexican combo was huge. The chimichanga and the enchilada was great, the meats were tender and soft, and the tortillas were fresh. Having tried them both for the first time was interesting, it's kind of like a burrito you eat with a knife and fork. Even the rice, salad, and beans were good. Props to them for giving a good salad. The tacos were also quite loaded, we opted for the hard shell instead of the soft and they were filled with fish that was meaty and was not heavily battered. It was loaded with veggies and salsa, everything worked well. The only thing I didn't like was that for the special tacos you had to get three of the same kind. I wanted to try the other kinds (shrimp and steak) but it makes sense because everything is fresh, that they have to do it this way.
