Mexico Lindo

This place has a nice atmosphere. They have tasty strong adult beverages. I had the Cadillac margarita.Tasty and hot salsa. (some places have mild but here it's boarder-line too hot)They have plenty of staff so the service is generally pretty good. Very attentive when you need something. Prices seemed fair for having dined in the Beverly Hills of San Jose.FoodI ordered the Tierra y Mar (steak and shrimp fajitas). I never had or even heard of soggy/soupy fajitas before. I ate most of my food because I was hungry but this was not was I was expecting. I will probably never order this here again. 2 out of 5 stars. I know everyone makes fajitas their own way but this didn't even look appetizing. Most of the other dinners looked good though that I saw throughout the dining area.

I only really enjoyed their drinks. Location: Because they are located on top of a hill, your phone connection will be very spotty. They do offer free WIFI to compensate that, you just have to ask one of the workers for the password. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. Food: The food here is not that great. It has little to no flavor. Someone in my party got the steak and asked for medium rare and when they got it, the steak was well done. I got the steak fajita which did not really have any seasoning on it. The chips and salsa was pretty standard, the salsa did have a small kick to it. Drinks: Their drinks here are pretty good. They have different types of frozen margaritas which all tasted great! Service: The service here was okay. I did come with a large party, but they did mess up a couple of our orders. Some of our food came out cold while others came out hot. The serving sizes were also inconsistent. Overall, my experience could have been better.

I've heard so many amazing things about this restaurant and I was so excited to try it out! Unfortunately it definitely fell very short of these expectations for several different reasons... First and foremost, although this is a "Mexican restaurant" the food is clearly not authentic Mexican food sadly... (This is coming from an honest Latina, so you know I'm not lying! lol.) We started with chips and salsa, which was very mild/light, yet moderately tasty! For entrees I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp plate. Although it definitely photographs beautifully and looks delicious.. it was severely lacking in flavor and did not have seasoning or any type of flare to it at all. :( The only thing that gave my dish flavor was the bacon that was wrapped around the shrimp sadly. I didn't even finish the rice because it honestly tasted a bit odd.. it looked like it they had added salsa verde on it but tasted very bland still. :(My friend ordered the steak fajitas and said that it was okay.. but lacking in flavor and the meat was very tough and not easy to chew. Essentially it was overly cooked. He said it wasn't awful but it also wasn't great either if that makes sense.Although our waitress was very nice, she forgot to come back and take our order for a solid 15 to 20 minutes while they were cleaning up other parts of the restaurant. I would understand if it was busy but we were one of the last tables there and it was clear that it was not a "priority" to help us. Another problem we had was my friend ran out of water while eating chips and salsa and started coughing/chocking with no way to relieve it because literally no one was there to refill our water.. Couldn't you just leave the water vase on the table? That would make more sense if the staff is preoccupied. I find it problematic that we had to ask for refills even though it was very slow in the restaurant that night..On a positive note I will say the restaurant itself is decorated beautifully and it has a lot of interesting decor that really adds character to the place. I will also say they have pretty generous portions as well. But sadly... The food is clearly overly Americanized.. I'm guessing because it's in the Evergreen Hills? That they don't deliver on authentic Mexican cuisine seasoning, spice, nor taste AT ALL. lol. Honestly I am pretty disappointed after hearing all the amazing things.. I wish I could've liked this place more but I will definitely stick to my authentic Mexican food restaurants instead.

Sunday lunch was quiet and we got seated without having a reservation. We were served water , chips and salsa right away. The food is delicious and portions were sufficient. I've had similar food for similar prices. Their cocktails margarita was just one so next time I'll try a different cocktail. We had Mole in the side and that was so good with all of our dishes. The Mango shrimp cocktail was fresh. I liked my chicken enchilada with the rice and refried beans. The Chimichanga Burrito was plentiful but a little dry -it would have been better with more fat. The fish taco plate was ok and the steak quesadilla was good. Get the Mole on the side because it's so good to dip your chips in it out some over your dish ! They have Karaoke on Thursdays.

A while back, attended a fun event with friends held at Mexico Lindo, hosted by Ardbeg and Glenmorangie. Enjoyed a tasting tour served with paired dishes. Highlights were the French Onion Soup, Roasted Turkey with Mole and Burrata Salad. Also advertised to have a Tomahawk but only received a few slices from the tomahawk (very disappointing). Had a tented area with heaters which was cozy and intimate. Staff was quick to refill our drinks with the handcrafted cocktails and pours of whiskey. Overall, a bit pricey but was a good time!

I've driven past Mexico Lindo many times, and we finally tried it for takeout. Food was just okay. I'd consider dining in to see if it's any better but not anytime soon. ALAMBRE: 3.75/5 ($15.50)+ Basically meat lovers in a taco! The asada, bacon, and chorizo were topped with melted cheese+ Pretty good, but honestly a little overpowering in flavor. Can easily be fixed with lime and fresh salsa+ The tortillas were awful though. Overcooked and could barely bite into it, so I had to toss it out. Would've been 4 stars otherwise--- 2 COMBO DINNER PLATE --- ($23.50) CHILE ROJO ENCHILADA: 3.75/5+ Chicken was pretty good but the flavor wasn't there+ The chile rojo also was a little lackluster+ The Mexican rice as a side was solid! Super tasty with the alambre actually FLAUTA: 3.5/5+ Decent chicken flauta! I liked the crunchy exterior but was nothing particularly special+ Avocado was very smooth though weird how it was served to us so brown (probably oxidized, even though we took it home immediately)

Fabulous food, great ambiance and convenient location. Staff is friendly, food tastes great and portion sizes are generous. Pricing is fabulous as well!!

I visited Mexico Lindo for dinner and drinks with friends on a Sunday night. Cute ambiance with outdoor seating in the front and the back. I liked the variety of Margaritas and tried El Cucuy and El Chupacabra. They were pretty good. My friends favorite is the Spicy Pineapple Margarita. I ordered Mar y Tierra fajitas and though they were just ok. The first set of corn tortillas they brought me in the foil were all broken so I had to get another pack of tortillas. Rice and beans were bland to me. Our server was nice, but the 3 stars is mostly due to the fact we waited 1 1/2 hrs for our food. My friends and I met at 6pm for dinner and I got there exactly at 6pm. Our food came out at 7:28pm. I specifically checked my phone for the time when it came. It should really be 1 star because the food wasn't anything special and 1 1/2 hrs is too long to wait. However, I will say our server was kind, apologetic, and seemed genuine. It wasn't super busy overall, but I did notice she was helping all the tables AND working the bar. Something was also happening with the kitchen. Our server was having a seemingly heated discussion with them and right after came over and explained it was going to take more time for our order. Due to the great service and attention given to our table, I would try Mexico Lindo again maybe for a happy hour.

Mexico Lindo is my comfort place! It's my neighborhood Mexican joint with good prices and strong drinks. I've been coming here for over a decade and it's still a hit every time. I even had my college grad party here!Tip: their happy hour is unbeatable! I always get the quesadilla and their nachos are giant. The drinks and good, strong, and the vibe is great.

I really liked the ambience and the environment of this small restaurant. The food was outstanding and the bar staff were very skilled. It's one of my favorite Mexican places in the area.
