Mi Lindo Michoacan The Mexican Corral

Like many others, I have wanted to come here after seeing this location on a Mark Wiens video. About a month back, I would be in the area because of an NFL game and decided getting an early dinner was worth the trek. It did not disappoint. The birria tacos were almost like butter when you bit into them, and the consumme broth was tasty on its own. We ordered a plate of tacos (five) and then some birria tacos to split. We weren't too hungry but wanted to try this spot. The tacos have a little toppings bar that is covered up. You can load your tacos up with pico, salsa, and pickled onions and prep them to your liking.This spot is tucked into a strip mall but does offer a decent amount of parking. We did go at an unusual hour (4 p.m.), which didn't hurt our chances of the spot being busy or parking being limited. Upon entering, we were greeted by a man seated behind a counter and told that we should take a seat since we were dining in. A very courteous elderly woman then came over to take our order and ensure we knew everything in the restaurant.I would try stopping by for a meal if I were in the area again!

the hidden treasure of food specialty carnitas habanera sauce the best service excellent small place but big in flavor

I love the food! I live the horchata!! We ordered a tray that included: cuerito, carnitas, buche! So delicious!!I especially liked that the food was not super salty especially since my family usually doesn't eat salt.I do wish they made a spicy salsa, i tried them all and non were spicy or had anything special to it.If you order to go do not expect to get any side such as cilanto and onion or salsas.We ate at the restaurant and the staff was super nice! They made it fun and were super friendly and attentive.please note that this is a small fondita not really a restaurant to dine out with the whole fam since its pretty small. For example we had a total of 5 people and had to split between tables since we had toddler and the parents, plus my dad and I. This was fine for us since the service was good and the food was delicious. If you are a family of 4 or less you will be fine but note that it gets busy since they get a lot of people.It took them about 10 mins to bring out our order which is pretty good considering how busy they were both for indoor dining and to go orders.I recomend that if you get get it to go do it! Its cheaper as well but reminder that you dont get sides.The ambiance for me was great since we all enjoyed ourselves but its not a beautiful looking restaurant its a small business and they do have labels everywhere which to me is understandable. Guys people just dont know how to respect or do stuff so to me it makes sense.They make to go orders cheaper since this way people dont get salsas n cilantro so it's understandable. No need to get angry.Anyways, I loved the food and Im actually going to stop again after work today lol but I will be getting it to go Sadly they are about an hour from my house so fingers crossed for a new location in Mesa lolI give it a 4 since its pretty small to dine in for larger families but I loved it!!!!(update: went today again, OMG the birria i got it to go. So good we made tacos that night at midnight lol best ever)

It took over 15 years for my family to find a good carnitas place like what we'd get in California and we're glad we found our spot! I randomly heard about this place and decided to finally try it. the carnitas mix is great the buche and cueritos are soooo flavorful and the carnitas are great. The workers were very nice and playful which made the service great. We did a to go order on a Saturday morning and it was quiet and quick. If you're fan of spicy food get the chopped habanero !

Every time we try to come get tacos after work they are closed, It's say close at 6pm but at 5:35pm the door is locked and signs say closed. My husband is so disappointed, they need to change their time to 5:30pm instead of 6pm.

Went in and it was empty. We were greeted and given menus. We sat down looked at menus and was outraged by the $$$ pricing. We left. Not because we couldn't afford it but because we know where to get good food at right pricing.

Just to let know I've met this place since way before it was an actual restaurant, food is very tasty only thing I've noticed is how pricing has been skyrocketing in this "new" establishment and the issue is that pricing is not even stamped in the menu. 1lb carnitas is $18.99 and 2 cups of Champurrado $7.99 each that is ridiculous, the drinks are almost double in price to what the "main" dish is. They have a hand written disclosure "Price is subject to change at any time" so be prepared to pay whatever they want on any giving day. Not a returning customer anymore. Food is tasty but be prepared to get your wallet drained.

Had the carnita tacos. Soo much meat. Can make 2 tacos out of one. Meat is soft and flavorful. Had birria queso tacos and chilaquiles. Limited seating when busy.

Do come here if you're astonishingly great at reading and following orders! The carnitas are juicy, not dry however not very savory either. The owner tho, TOXIC! From the moment you walk in there is signage. "Don't do this" "Don't touch this", "Don't do that!" To say this place is decorated in neon paper signage on what you can and can't do is an understatement. While we were there, someone came in to pick up an order, and needed more of the verdura and walked towards the back of the restaurant to grab some. The owner quickly and rudely peeked his head out and proceeded to scold the customer in front of a pretty full restaurant. "That stuff is for dine in only, put it down or I'll charge you!" It was very condescending and demeaning. I was in shock at the treatment. The owner is willing to lose customers over some cut up onions and cilantro. It is not that serious. At the risk of getting scolded, my boyfriend and I picked up our plates when we were done and walked near the trash. The owner of course had something to say, "You shouldn't have done that, let the waitress do their jobs. Since I was already in motion, I replied it's ok. "He said "don't". I replied, "I'm not going to throw away the plate or utensil". Again super condescending. I'm not certain I would come back and support a business with whom an owner is on a power trip. Did not feel welcomed here at all!

With all respect to Jesus and his family today the service was not the best, I have been buying from them since way before they opened the restaurant and never disappointedToday I ordered the 2lb special (waited for about 25 minutes, I usually called in advance but today simply was no answer and I understand they're busy) I arrive home and from the beginning I knew something was off, I pulled the salsa containers and the bag of onion covered on lard, after that tortillas were almost cold, opened the beans container just to find out that they tasted spoiled and also some kind of white foam inside, carnitas unfortunately were not the way they usually are, bland taste and a little bit dry.I hope Jesus look into it and fix something that shouldn't been this way, to good of a place with excellent food, unfortunately not today
