For starters, the rice and beens, which are often a throw away part of the meal, were amazing. We were loving the tacos dorados, crunchy and super yummy (the wife). The asada burrito was really good with flavorful meat, healthy cheese pull, and tasty tortilla (right up there with our burrito lover's favorites). Liked the chicken enchiladas, queso birria, and relleno. But again, the rice and beans are and worth ordering if they don't come with your entree. The staff were cheerful and helpful. Even the other diners were helpful, pointing out their favorites (and we were the only gringos in the entire place). So go. Thanks, Mi Lindo Guadalajara!

My waiter only barely spoke English but we could figure it out. The chips & salsa they set down was a mixed result. The chips were terrific. The salsa was a small kind of watery bowl that tasted much more sour than usual. It was okay. Just not as good as the chips. I ordered the Taconazo after ascertaining that it was a variant on carne asada. I asked if it came with tortillas. Si. It came pretty fast and he pointed to a station to one side of the dining area and said, "Salsas!" Sadly the salsa cups were tiny. I could barely fit any pickled onions inside. There were also some big jugs of various agua frescas there, nestled in ice. The "Taconazo" consisted of LOTS of onions, peppers, cheese, crispy bacon(!), cactus, and strips of steak. I liked it quite a bit. There was a bit of trouble at the end. My food was 15.99 but my bill was $21. So I asked for a itemized bill (tips weren't included). Turned out they'd charged me $2.99 for a fountain drink, but I'd only had water. I showed them the error. Rather than change the bill, they just handed me $3 in bills so that worked. (Yes I tipped.) Anyway good food with only minor glitches, and I'll be trying it again.

I have eaten at these locations (though mostly at the 100 S location) for YEARS. In all those years I have NEVER had a bad bite of food! I grew up in Southern California, so my standard for tacos and Mexican food is informed by the food that the first or second generation mothers of my Latino friends served me at their tables. The carnitas is ALWAYS succulent and never dry. The carne asada (while not necessarily the "best" I've ever had) is as good as any around here. But...if you like tortas, trust me, order one here (you'll take half of it home), and you'll throw rocks at the next one you order somewhere else! The bread, everything...on point! Their chips (I don't know if they're homemade or not) are the absolute BEST I've had at ANY restaurant around here. And their salsa bar is perfection. They have this one medium heat salsa that first hits your palette with a smoky taste, and then finishes with a little bite. I frequently ask them to sell me a quart to take home when I eat here. At the 100 E location, DO NOT let the location or the outdoor dining under tents dissuade you. This place is fire! Go here!
