The best authentic Mexican food outside of Mexico. We drive from Toronto to eat here. Food is fresh, flavourful and authentic. Love that they have proper entrees other than the usual street food like enchiladas, burritos and tacos. Service was great, as well as the atmosphere. We highly recommend this place. The Molletes Cancun and Camarones were great appetizers and the Pozole was fantastic. Pollo Con Mole and Steak A La Nayarita are fabulous entrees; and always always leave room for the Deep Fried Ice Cream, perfect share for two!
I went to this restaurant for the first time with my family. It had a really nice feel to it. The server was really nice, friendly, and memorized our entire party-of-eight's order perfectly. We were very impressed! The food we all ordered tasted fantastic, and was fairly priced for the portions we received. Real authentic Mexican cuisine, indeed! I would certainly recommend and visit here to dine again!
Authentic mexican food made with passion you can taste in the meals, super friendly experience there, highly reccomended, everything was fresh and delicious

We were heading back home, and we stopped at Mexico Lindo for dinner. We had been here once before, several years ago, and we had liked it then.
While our server was pleasant and charming, the service was not very efficient. It took quite a while for SWMBO to get the beer she had ordered. Also, it seemed to take a while for our food to arrive, even though the restaurant wasn’t too busy.
SWBMO chose the Acapulco, which included one beef burrito and one chicken enchilada, topped with a mild ranchero sauce. The meal came with salad, retried beans, and Mexican rice. SWBMO was happy with her choice.
I picked the Chicken Fajitas, which came with a generous portion of chicken and veggies on a screaming hot skillet. I prefer my fajita veggies to be cooked a bit more. The were a bit to form to be squished properly in the tortillas. While fajita meals often come with rice and beans, this one did not. That’s okay, it was still a very filling meal.
It’s my first time trying this restaurant, tbh it was worth trying . The food was good, we all loved it, prices were average compared to the portion they serve. But what I really liked is the people who work there, they were super nice and friendly, we enjoyed our time there, and definitely coming back again. Highly recommend it!
Love the food at this place. Stopped in the chance the food would be great and was amazed served hot and fast and just to my liking. I will be back.
If you want Mexican on this area of the GTA, beyond the typical 'Lone Star' style, your options are pretty limited. Fortunately Mexico Lindo is pretty darn good.
The restaurant is located relatively close to a major intersection and it can be a little difficult getting in and out of the parking lot. The seating areas are small and somewhat cramped. On a Saturday night you can wait for a table for a while. But yet it's still worth it because the food is good.
I've had a variety of dishes here over the years and have yet to be disappointed. Lots of variety and levels of spice to suit your personal tastes. While not always quick, the servers are friendly and polite and aim to please.
It's not cheap - around $70 tip in for two including bar tab, but it's not really any different than metropolitan prices around the GTA. And it's good, which does tend to tip the value proposition in its favor. Give it a shot if you're in the area.
Love it. Like taking a vacation without all the baggage.
Ambiance: great. Food: fabulous. Margarita's: Mmm, Mmm, mmm!
Anything with the choriso. Usually the stuffed peblano peppers.
It's fun and nice that it's a family run place.
Will Visit Again. Went to the Whitby location. Friendly, casual atmosphere. Servers very polite and helpful. We had the quesadillas and enchiladas. They were served hot, freshly made and tasty with generous servings. Only thing they need to change is the complimentary salsa and chips they serve when you first sit down at your table. Salsa is very watery and bland like tomato soup. Better to change the recipe or not serve it at all as it gives a negative first impression that doesn't do justice to the other food served here. We asked for hot sauce and then added it to the salsa and that helped a lot. Other than that, we will definitely visit again to try their other Mexican offerings.
AWESOME FOOD!!!. Bit road side Diner look from outside. But Meal was awesome and service was to match!!! I am a Chef as well, and very fussy about real from scratch food and this was not that chain resturant frozen food crap!! Only one neg was water served was just tap water so just order bottle beverage. Everything waste perfect, and I would drive 1 hour to go agian!!
Delicious food! Always made properly, fresh, and fast service. The whitby location is personally my favourite :)
It was really good! Only went there because my friends wanted to, the place looks kind of sketchy from the outside but it was really good and will go back to have more of their chimichunga!
We were in Oshawa and decided to try this place for lunch today. Its a small little restaurant on Taunton Rd and decorated very nicely.
We tried some authentic mexican dishes and were not disappointed. The chorizo chimichanga was amazing and flavorful. The guachenango was a giant ref snapper which was cooked to perfection. These were served with rice, salad and refried beans. Our littleone enjoyed the chicken quesadilla a lot. I would definitely come back here again to try the other items. Highly recommend.
Husband and I moved into Oshawa recently, but I have seen this place for years. Went for the first time and I regret not going sooner. The food was fantastic! We got the chorizo nachos and the birria tacos, in addition on got a mango drink. All was delicious, was licking the plate! I am usually quite the food complainer but this place was exceedingly good. Highly recommend.
I would drive by this restaurant occasionally, so finally the opportunity presented itself and we ordered quite a bit. This was our first time ordering as well so wasn't sure what to expect honestly but let's start off with the phone order. The young lady who took my order was so pleasant and allowed me to try to pronounce the names of the dishes (I think I did well I didn't butcher them as much as I thought I would). When we got there the restaurant you can only enter on the south side going east not a problem I just turned around on the side street. The restaurant itself was cute and the smells from the kitchen was amazing. You knew from jump that this food was going to taste amazing, or at least that was lingering in my nose. The food was so good I only got a picture of my daughter's fajitas that tasted out if this world. We ordered over $100 worth of food and worth every penny. We will definitely be back to dine in this time so our other daughter can enjoy it as much as the rest of family did.
Great food and amazing service. Best Mexican food homely food
Finally tried this gem of a restaurant. It was delicious! Had a Taco Salad and it exceeded my expectations! Everything was fresh and tasty. My son had the veggie burrito and said it was amazing. The customer service was very good also. Can’t wait to go back.
I had the fajita and my husband had the burrito. We dined in. The hosts were amazing and the environment was classic Mexico. I would definitely go back again.
