A great meal at Lindo Veracruz this afternoon.
Crisp, warm fresh chips, flavorful red salsa and salas picante start the meal. My wife went with Dos Enchiladas (chicken). She asked about the sauces to find out if the restaurant's red sauce was tomato sauce based or red chili. The owner, waiting on us today, said it was tomato based, so she made her choice the tasty Verde sauce. Both enchiladas were stuffed full with shredded chicken. Excellent beans and rice on the side filled the plate. I had the Dragon Platter, one of the meals on the Special Dinner list. Strange name for a Mexican food meal. A name you would expect in a Chinese restaurant. This was a delicious mix of steak, chicken and shrimp, grilled with pico de gallo, spinach and covered in queso. I needed to try something different. Sometimes that doesn't end well for me. Not today, this was a very good plate of food. The plate was clean when I finished. This meal is recommended.
The restaurant's name seemed familiar to me. Could it be the same Lindo Veracruz as the one in Pawnee, OK. I asked the owner and sure enough it was. He owns both and also another restaurant in Owasso that operates under the name Mr. Pancho. Very nice fellow to talk with. He provided excellent service along with delicious food.
The restaurant reminds me of an old Wendy's because of the curved glass that covers the dining area out front. Booths and tables, simple decorations, just a few Mexican pictures on the wall. Full bar and the Christmas tree is up. There are a couple of big screen TVs. I didn't catch what was on. I was too busy with the chips and salsa.
This is a great small town Mexican restaurant. If you are traveling the "Mother Road" give it a try. read more
