My girlfriends and I met here for lunch a few weeks ago. The restaurant itself looked to be clean and the decor wasn’t terrible. Had some high hopes….those hopes were crushed as soon as these margaritas came to the table. It took the server 10 minutes to make these ( we were the only table here) listen I’m not unreasonable, as I’ve been a server in the past and have “the patience of a saint”- 2 of my ex boyfriends . What I cannot handle is that these margaritas were nuclear green and only tasted like margarita mix. If we were at a chili’s or some other chain I’d be like… ok… well that’s what we get… I thought this was a Mexican restaurant. What really got me was the food. We ordered nachos, the pollo con mole and the beef tacos. The nachos tasted like you asked someone who never has had nachos to make one… it tasted like they used Campbell tomato soup as the salsa… I’ve never ate something that disgusting in my life. The pollo con mole was the most bland chicken I’ve ever tasted. That says a lot. It was drier than the Sahara Desert. I’ve never been more disappointed in a meal in my entire life. My girlfriend said her beef tacos had zero flavour as well. We were all so sad and disappointed. We did mention the nachos were a bit off (tasted like Campbell tomato soup) we still paid for our meal, still tipped because we aren’t jerks. But man that will go down in history as the worst meal we have ever had. - we still talk about the nuclear green margaritas.. and probably will until the day we die. So thank...
Read moreWe weren't sure what to expect because the plaza that this restaurant is located in does not look so appealing (overall). But the restaurant was recommended to us so thought we would give it a shot. We are SO happy we tried this place!
It appears to be a family (or close relatives) run restaurant. Inside the lights are dimmed a bit and there is light music playing in the background. There is a LOT of decor inside the restaurant (can be considered a bit tacky but it goes with the theme of the restaurant).
We loved the demeanor of our waitress. She was polite, friendly, knowledgeable, and attentive yet not overly talkative, fake, or "extra". She responded to our questions about the menu and gave suggestions when asked. The manager/owner (?) came by too to see if everything was to our satisfaction.
We ordered the nachos and two entrees (with chicken, beef, and chorizo). They are generous with their portions, especially with the cheese! The heat level (in terms of spiciness) was wonderful as well; made to order so make sure to let them know your heat preference. The tortillas were perfect, the meats were cooked well/full of flavour, and the rice was light and fluffy. We were totally stuffed after dinner - in a good...
Read moreHighly disappointed in tonight’s dinner, service and quality of food at Mexico Lindo in Ajax. Pre covid my family and friends always went there and thoroughly enjoyed it. Tonight we went back for the first time and I honestly have nothing good to say. We waited over an hour for our food, they forgot meals that had been ordered. We watched a family of seven come in after us as well as multiple take out orders being served before our own food arrived. We had to wait 20 minutes to get our bill and the quality of food was nothing like it used to be. Understandably prices everywhere have gone up but $150 for 3 adults and 1 child with 1 beer, was way too much given the small quantity of food received and the poor quality. I get that this is a family run business and it’s unfortunate that it’s gone so down hill from what we remember. I felt it necessary to mention to the owner our disappointment and all they offered was an apology. Needless to say we won’t be returning and for anyone else, I hope you have a better experience...
