Came here on Cinco de Mayo and had the pleasure of meeting the owner. She was very sweet. Jennifer was also so helpful and gorgeous blue eyes - she personally walked me outside to the live music tent and got me some street tacos and a drink to celebrate. She dropped the check immediately and within 20 minutes I was completely taken care of and on my way AND I learned how to loosen up my hips! ?

Walked into a practically empty restaurant, waited 10 minutes before someone noticed us and took us to a table. Waiter was very nice and attentive. Ordered a super chili Verde burrito and it only had 2 pieces of meat in it, the rice was a sticky ball of goo on plate and they filled the burrito with it as well.. Very disappointing since my wife and I rarely go out to dinner and then spent close to $60 only to be let down. We will not be going back again.

Really weird experience here. Came around 6:30pm and the bar area seemed fairly busy, but there were only 3-4 tables in the restaurant side.Waited a while for the server. When he finally came we asked for a bar menu, they said they didn’t have one. Ordered some margs and food, then got the food and still no drinks or even napkins and silverware. Asked for the silverware and they apologize about the drinks being late. Finally got the drinks like… halfway through our entrees? I got a strawberry marg and it tasted like fruit punch and absolutely nothing else. I asked about it and the waiter took my drink, was gone until after we finished our meals, and then brought it back saying they just made a skinny marg and poured some strawberry over it so that i would like it better? Like.. that’s not what I asked, I was just making sure they didn’t forget the tequila ?Then we got the bill and they charged 10.95 for my strawberry marg (which tasted like no tequila, even after they remade it), then charged 14.95 for the skinny marg my friend got??? Why so much more expensive? And there is no way you would know because they have no menu ?Overall just a very odd experience, slow service, many errors (they asked if we wanted salt on the rims of drinks, we said no, got salt anyway. they asked if we wanted flour or corn tortillas then gave us the wrong one), definitely not going back:(

UPDATE YOUR TIMES! Don’t come in the morning Online it says they open at 10 a.m waited outside until 10:20 until they finally answered to tell me they open until 11 so rude to answer as well. Waisted my time for nothing.

Review solely on service: After a long days work we decided to try Mexico Lindo Cantina for the first time. We arrived and we were happy to see that it wasn’t busy or crowded so we could be seated and get our food daily quickly. We were not greeted or even acknowledged after walking in. We made eye contact with 2 staff members who turned the other way.. after 15 minutes of not even a hello from anyone, we walked out. There was a total of 3 tables occupied in the entire restaurant. 2 at the bar area and 1 at the regular dining. Service was absolutely unacceptable and being our first time there, we will probably not be back.

AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST!! Overpriced food basically inedible!! I wouldn't even give to a dog!! RUDEST servers!! Absolutely No safely protocols followed...social distancing, masks NOTHING! And OMG the bathrooms like a 3rd world country absolutely VILE!! NEVER EVER EVER AGAIN!! If I could give -0 ⭐ I would!!!! Rude AF manager too!!

We've been here numerous times and are never disappointed. Food, cocktails and service are always great.

Very poor service.They didn’t give us a drink menu and told us they didn’t have one. I was trying to look at their drinks on my phone and said I needed a few minutes to decide. The waiter told me to get off my phone and order something. We thought he was joking but he continued to be rude. We got up and left. Weird and unpleasant experience.

Worst experience ever from a Mexican or any type restaurant for that matter. First, the food seems incredibly overpriced. Twenty dollars for nachos I could get for half price at a burrito shop and none of the other food was any better. chicken in the taco salad was chewy, the beans were watery, and the serving sizes were very small especially considering the price. Will not be going back.

The food was the best mexican food I eaten in many of years. Give them a try you will not be disappointed
