Mexico Lindo Grill — Restaurant in Oxford

We've been going here once a week since they opened but the last 3 times we went, they have gone downhill! We went on Tuesday night around 4:15 to give them one last try and there were only a few people there so we figured we'd get our food fast. We ordered fajitas for 2 and tacos for my son. We were served Chips and salsa right away as usual. Chips were cold and very hard and the salsa was very thin and runny. We just ate what we could of that while waiting for our meals. We had to wait at least 30-40 minutes before we got our food which is much slower than their usual time and much slower than other Mexican restaurants! We knew why food was so delayed when we started eating it, they had let it set so long and then reheated it to the point that the chicken and steak was very dry and tough! The vegetables in with it were very slimy! We ate very little of it but still paid and vowed not to go back again! As far as my son's tacos, when he picked them up to bite into them, they completely fell apart because they were so soggy! Grease from the hamburger had soaked into the shells so bad! Our waiter was a short, older gentleman who walked very slow. We had to get help from a lady who came by. I'm assuming it was a manager because she fussed at our waiter for not checking on us enough. We said we weren't happy with the food but the waiter just frowned and walked off! We tried to tell the lady who came by but she just told him what we said, probably hoping he would offer to replace it but he never offered to. He just kept disappearing. Everytime we have eaten there and he has waited on us, we've had terrible service. He doesn't seem to want to work or be concerned if you are satisfied with your meal or not! We really tried to be fair and give them many chances to get better but it only gets worse everytime we go! It's a shame because they used to be so great! Evidently they don't have the same management as before. We paid over $70 and left a good tip even though the waiter was terrible and lazy! Never again will we waste our money on such inferior food and terrible service! Hopefully they will read this and make much needed...

Stopped for dinner on a Monday night around 7pm while on a road trip with my wife. It's in a nice shopping center. Small dining room but very nice atmosphere. Not packed, but most seats were taken. That was a good sign.

We were seated immediately, and in less than one minute our drink orders had been taken. A minute or two later they were on the table. Pretty solid margaritas, and they have a skinny margarita (which my wife was looking for). Couple of minutes later, someone different came by the table and asked if we'd like appetizers. We got cheese dip and hot salsa, which also came out promptly. The mild salsa that comes with the chips is delicious. Hot salsa is... kinda hot (I know many people who would probably question whether or not it's actually "hot"), but not a whole lot of flavor. Cheese dip was respectable and par for the course, though not a stand-out.

Then a third person came by to take our order. Not complaining in the least; I just haven't been to a place where different servers work the same table, and it was just a little unusual. They were all friendly and prompt.

I got the chicken taquito appetizer since I wasn't very hungry. Came with a ton of shredded cheese, pico, and cheese dip. The blob of guacamole (see photo, which I took after I started eating, oops) was an extra $2.50. Too expensive for that add-on, but not a problem enough to change my rating. Corn tortillas were cooked perfectly; great crunch, and chicken was juicy and flavorful.

My wife got a beef enchilada and a cheese enchilada and said they were both great.

The upshot -- based on our first experience here, I'd easily recommend Mexico Lindo Grill for a casual...

Headed home from vacation, we were searching for a lunch place and we hit the jackpot. The prices were great and so was the food. $36 fed three of us with water to drink, and we left with a full to-go box.

The salsa seems to have a hint if thyme that I hadn't had elsewhere and I loved it. You are served a communal basket of chips and an individual vessel for the salsa (the waitress pours the salsa for you). Don't be afraid to ask for hot sauce. The mole they bring out is delicious on everything!

I had the burrito supreme sans lettuce. The ground beef was EXCELLENT. So much better than anywhere else I've eaten! My daughter got the two taco meal and she agreed that the meat was so, so good. Our lunch partner ordered the carnitas and was reluctant to share because he liked it so much. There were a few large pieces of fat served on his plate that looked like meat, so beware before taking a bite if you don't prefer the fatty pieces. We collectively agreed that the refried beans were very good and we thought them being served in a shell was cool. None of us preferred the rice, so we would substitute it next time. It was a bit watery and didn't have any flavor during our visit.

The decor was fun and funky and gave the restaurant great ambiance. The restrooms were very clean, too. Our next trip through will include...
