    Small sweet potato lattice fries nachos with the works
    Mel C.

    Got the sweet potato lattice fries nachos (you have a choice between sweet potato lattice fries or tortilla chip). I'm not a picky eater so I had the works. My friend warned me not to get any hot peppers at all but I like to believe I can eat spicy food so I asked for a small spoonful of peppers..... My friend was right, I shouldn't have gotten the hot peppers at all. Luckily, I got a free fountain drink which is a perk of being a student (students get a free fountain drink with any purchase). I really enjoyed the nachos and I would definitely go back there to try their other food ... I probably won't add hot peppers though!

    Not a big fan of Burrito but saw all the great reviews so I decided to try. My husband and i were starring at the menu got no clue what to order. The girl who work there, I should have asked her name asked if it was our first time. She is so friendly and has so much energy and she was explaining different items and ingredients with so much passion and we felt like we owe it to her to order whatever she recommended. We ordered the Sweet Potato Nachos and their most popular Burrito called The Big G or something. Man! They were good! The ingredients were fresh and they were so generous with it. I like their Habanero dressing and their hot pepper is awesome!! If I own a restaurant I would totally hand my business card to that girl and ask if she would work for me.

    Burrito bowl with pulled pork and chicken. Hefty amount of food here and a ton of meat!

    Jimmy Guaco's had a nearly a perfect rating on Yelp so I just had to come here and try it out. Good news: It stacks well with the other popular chain burrito places such as chipotle, mucho burrito, and burrito boyz. Had the burrito in the bowl and there was just so much food there. It was $11 but it was so worth it! We ended up sharing the entire thing. The amount of toppings is insane. All the toppings were fresh and they even gave me a hefty amount of meat. I liked how I had the options to mix and match which other places do not offer. I had the options of selecting two proteins so I got the pulled pork (carnitas) and shredded chicken. Both flavorful. Had the bowl with: rice, beans, lettuce, tomatoes, green peppers, red and green onions, habanero chilies, cheese, Pico de Gallo, corn and bean salsa, sour cream, and special burrito sauce. There was a lot going on in each bite. Nothing costed me an extra penny and there's also FREE guacamole, thanks Jimmy Guaco's!

    Decent burritos but the hours are all wrong everywhere so definitely call ahead before going there. Also the street parking sucks

    My family all live far apart from one another, so we compromised on somewhere between me, my wife…read moreand them for my birthday dinner, thus we chose this place as I was in the mood for Mexican.They had a traditional Mexican interior, and friendly staff greeted us on arrival. As far as the location goes, I must say they have very limited parking spots(but we found a spot). Parking spots were tight. However, there is ample parking at the big box store across the street, and they are on a bus line. They are not near other restaurants but stand out based on the loud Mexican music and big sign that has a Mexican flag Over all the service was friendly, attentive, and quick(especially considering how packed it was) They give nachos on arrival, sort of like how restaurants normally give bread, which were okay , but the salsa was bland. The lime margarita was amazing. I got the beef enchiladas, which were tender and loaded with food didn't quite pack the punch I was hoping for. My mom and my wife got the nachos with chicken;they didn't like it. So I tried it to confirm the following: the nacho platter with chicken was bland, with very little crunch. It looked like it was sitting around for a while as far as value goes, my wife's beer was more expensive than my margarita, which is a plus if you are an alcohol drinker like me but not for a beer drinker, obviously. The portions on my plate were small, but there were so many different items on the plate that blended together fairly well that the small portions didn't matter too much. And lastly, the smell of the place was nonexistent, which is odd IMO for a small restaurant.

    This place is special because it is authentic food and service from top to bottom. It's small but…read morehas many seats and can accommodate larger parties- just call ahead if you want a reservation..but small walk-ins should be no issue. The service staff is amazing, friendly and knowledgeable. 4/5 for atmosphere because it was cold in the restaurant, probably because it is January and this restaurant is in an old building. The food comes out super quick - even my steak came out very fast. Chips and salsa were complimentary and very tasty. We had 3 kids meal, enchiladas with mole, and steak. All the food was amazing and good portion size. If you feel like Mexican food - skip the chain Tex-mex and come to Mexico Lindon.

We were greeted very pleasantly. It wasn't too busy yet as it just turned to lunch the waitress gave some really great suggestions. Even though our interaction was within with one waitress, it still set the vibe that everybody in this establishment really enjoys working here. The atmosphere was very welcoming and definitely set the mood for all the margaritas and tacos that we could possibly want. The food itself very flavourful. Definitely a great hidden gem in Durham.

The portions were very large for the price, with half my chimichanga burrito taken home at the end of the meal. I enjoyed the sides, they were there but didn't really stand out. The in-house made nachos were deliciously crispy and salty, pairing well with the Queso, Guacamole and Pico De Gallo. The Burrito as I mentioned was huge and expertly fried. The Barbacoa inside was perfectly cooked, full of flavour. I wish my Margarita had more punch though, it was barely noticeable in the entire experience. What was noticeable was the decor which feels dated from 15 years ago. Overall, decent, I would return.

    I remember one day driving by Cielito Lindo and seeing it boarded up. I though it was sad because…read moretheir food was amazing and we had enjoyed coming here. Well, little did I know, there had been a fire which had caused the closure of businesses in the strip mall. I'm not in this area often but we happen to drive by it and I saw their sign was there again! My first thought was CHICKEN MOLE!!!! We immediately pulled in and ordered dinner! Our 'old faithfuls' were still in the menu... tabasco combo and chicken mole! We order a takeaway but they are open for dine-in. This restaurant NEVER lets us down. The food is OUTSTANDING and the quality has never wavered. I'm so glad they've weathered all the storms they have faced and are still going strong.

    This place is close to where I live, so I wanted to check it out. They always seem super busy. I…read moreordered the Mole Poblano and had horchata. I had some issues with this place. First of all, there are too many table and chairs in the restaurant area. So much so that if someone has their chair pulled out a little bit, it's really difficult to sit comfortably. Secondly, it is very obvious when they are busy the server (singular) becomes overwhelmed very quickly. We didn't receive chips and salsa as is normal for a restaurant like this. Also my drink never came because the person said he was off his rhythm. I don't think it's a rhythm, I think you have too many tables for a restaurant of that size, even without taking into account take out orders or delivery apps. The food I had was very good though. I loved the mole sauce, it was not too choclatey, and not too spicy. It was very well balanced. My partner had the Pollo poblano though, and there was not a poblano to be seen. I was initially confused why they had Pollo Con Mole and Pollo Poblano but no Mole Poblano. I think it's because there's no poblano used. At the same time it is the best Mexican food restaurant in Pickering.
