Mi Lindo Michoacan Restaurant — Restaurant in Austin

This establishment is a disgrace to Mexican food. I mean seriously, I’ve never seen a Mexican place make food this terrible. Had a very awful experience at this place about a month ago.

To start, me and my family were the first customers at the time (7pm), and the cook and waitress were standing around watching YouTube videos. The waitress seated us, and later took about 15 minutes to bring extra chips, despite there being no other customers.

The queso came out, and wow I didn’t think you could mess up queso. It tasted rotten and it was cold. At this point, I still had hope for the entrees (qual plate, beef tacos, steak plate, and something else I forgot) when the entrees came out, immediately my sister said there was something wrong with the taco beef. I tried a piece, and indeed, it tasted like there was some harmful organisms inside of it. Not how good beef tastes, but like bloody and rancid. Then I tried a piece of my girlfriend’s steak (she was too scared to touch it) and it also tasted rotten. I tried one bite of the qual, it wasn’t rottten but certainly didn’t look or taste fresh.

This is where it got really bad. Since we were concerned for our health (only a few bites were taken of the food) the waitress said “oh ok” basically, and then we wanted to leave. She ended up charging us full price for the food that was not even eaten, and of $1 dollar quality. This is not how you treat customers. She mentioned earlier that a new owner had recently taken over, and wow what an awful job of management. I’m convinced all of the food was just microwaved, and possibly sat at room temperature for days or longer.

Awful service, awful food. Do not eat at this place unless you enjoy paying high prices for disgusting, possibly sickening food.

**Forgot to mention, after refusing to eat this rancid food, the "cook" came out and thought the complaints were funny. saying "haha first time!" . I'm 99% sure there was no cooking being done that day, just...

First time here! Great little restaurant. Between us we had:

Cheese Verde Enchiladas: When I ordered these, the waitress seemed a bit confused, cheese is not on the menu - but I figured they could make them and they did. To be honest, there could have been more cheese in the filling. The verde sauce was delicious - tangy and light. I really enjoyed the rice that came with it - fluffy. The beans were your standard refried beans but good none the less. Next time, I will try one of the meat fillings.

Oysters: Large and fresh, the husband really enjoyed these. Don't expect to see any horse radish or cocktail sauce. It comes with limes and hot sauce - not sure why I was surprised.

Chips and Salsa: The chips are the thin crispy type with the right amount of salt - yummy. There are two salsas served with the chips, one green and one red. The red one tasted like reconstituted dried peppers. The green one was more acidic and fresh - we enjoyed the green one best.

The place was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. The waitress warmed up to us a bit before we left - a smile can go a long way. We were impressed with this place and will definitely be back to try other menu items. The breakfast items look...

This place was very clean and inviting smelled so good just as I walked in , I was promptly seated and greeted. Chips n salsa were served when I sat down the table sauce could have been a bit more spicy but it was ok. I ordered guacamole salad for appetizer the guacamole was fresh and had good taste . For my plate I ordered menudo and enchiladas michoacanas, the menudo was good size portion nice n hot also came with pig feet for those who like that it’s served without hominy come with sides of onions cilantro and fresh cut peppers can’t forget the lime it’s a bit on the expensive side $14 for menudo but I have no complaints one of the best flavored menudo I’ve had in Austin in a long time , you could tell they clean the menudo well and had no smell to it . The enchiladas were filled with cheese topped with lettuce crema fresca avocado slices and tomatoes, you also pick your side of meat ( chicken, steak , or quail ) this is a good plate for sharing properly cooked tortillas were cooked in a red sauce for taste and it came through. I enjoyed my visit and would definitely recommend. This also have many plates to choose from including iguana 🦎 soup and...
