If you're traveling through Banning or just passing by on your way to Morongo, do yourself a favor and skip the chain restaurants--Lindo's Diner is a hidden gem that's absolutely worth the stop. My wife and I were looking for a great breakfast, and from the moment we walked in, we were welcomed with genuine hospitality by our host, Christian. He was friendly, professional, and incredibly knowledgeable about the restaurant. As we talked, he shared that Lindo's is a family-owned establishment where everyone works together to make the business successful. You can truly see the pride they take in what they do, it's like watching a well-oiled machine. The menu made it difficult to decide because everything looked so good, but we eventually settled on our favorites. My wife ordered the chilaquiles with over-easy eggs and a regular coffee with creamer. I went with a medium-rare steak, extra crispy hash browns, a side of bacon, sourdough toast, and a Mexican Coke. Every item was cooked exactly as requested, served fresh, and arrived quickly. The presentation showed care, and you could tell the kitchen pays attention to every plate that leaves the window. Before placing my order, I asked Christian if I could sample the menudo. I've had menudo all over California, and I'm pretty particular about it. Without hesitation, he brought me a small bowl. It was everything I look for--clean broth, piping hot, fresh, and packed with flavor. It even had a nice spicy kick that I absolutely loved. It was so good that I promised Christian and his tía, who prepares it fresh every day and serves it seven days a week, that I'd come back the next morning to buy some. A promise made is a promise kept. The very next day, I returned and picked up a few cups of the menudo to enjoy back at my hotel, which was only about a half-mile away. If you check out my photos, you'll even see me enjoying it in my room. It was just as incredible the second time around. Experiences like this are exactly why I love supporting small, family-owned businesses. Great food is one thing, but genuine hospitality and people who truly care about their customers make all the difference. If you enjoy authentic Mexican food, I highly recommend Lindo's Diner. Take a few minutes to look through the menu because there are so many great options to choose from. We'll definitely be back the next time we're in the area. 5 stars all the way. read more

The food was so incredible! We decided to stop here on a whim and cannot recommend it more. The menudo was absolutely amazing and they had such a big menu. Our waitress was also so kind and the food came out so fast! read more

We almost couldn't find the place from its humble exterior - perhaps we were too hangry to notice the sign, but we were pleasantly surprised to find a newly remodeled, comfortable interior ! The service was a bit on the slow side, but don't hold that against them: it was brunch time on a Saturday. The servers were so friendly. And, oh, my, god, the food!! As we looked at the menu I was rather shocked : all of the classic omelets, Benedicts, huevos rancheros, etc, were on, but ALSO some real oddities ! Omelet enchilada - an enchilada wrapped in an omelet topped with an enchilada !? I almost ordered it out of curiosity - until I saw the chile rilleno omelet! It did not disappoint. In fact, it surpassed all expectations ! Somehow, they managed to cook a rilleno inside a nicely browned omelet with soft egg on the inside. Topped with melted cheese and salsa verde. Ooey gooey heaven. Oh, and made to order hash browns served with tortillas and salsa roja for wrapping everything up into a delicious breakfast burrito if desired. Hot sauce not required. All salsa is homemade with great texture, rich flavor, and perfectly spicy. My husband ordered the chilaquiles rancheros - and he ate them so quickly, I didn't get a taste! His review : just about the best he's ever had this side of the border. A real gem of a diner! I'm definitely coming back for that enchilada omelet! read more

The hubby brought me here for my bday breakfast and it did not disappoint! Nice place with good vibes and great music. The staff is friendly and always had our coffee topped off without us having to ask. The food was delicious. I had the eggs Benedict with home potatoes which was bombdotcom. The hubby had a ham and bacon omelette with hashbrowns... he almost ate the entire thing which is a win in my book lol. We also shared a side of biscuits and gravy which I definitely recommend. You can't go wrong when it's made from scratch! The owner was very kind and walked around to ensure everyone was satisfied. He gave us references on what to try next time we come and he even brought me a homemade cinnamon roll at the end of our meal. A MUST TRY on the homemade cinnamon rolls! Made from scratch and just ooey gooey goodness! We will be spreading the word and definitely coming back. read more

We found this recommendation on Yelp, and are so pleased!! It is everything you love about and expect from a successful family restaurant. Portions are great and the delicious food is 100% made from scratch. (Pancakes and gravy in our case -- we had the Lindo's breakfast and short stack blueberry pancakes.) We will be back! read more

Maria is amazing!!!!! She is such a sweet server. She was killing it in that restaurant. The food is very good. I got French toast, sausage and potatoes. The diner is sweet small and cute. 10/10. read more

First timer! Glad Banning has a restaurant like this, I really enjoyed how clean, inviting the energy and space was. The open concept makes it feel inviting and you can tell the owners keep it very clean, love the added greenery at the entrance. Food was absolutely delicious! The stuffed French toast was amazing,not too sweet with the cream cheese filling and it paired well with the fresh fruit. The chile verde burritos gives Consuelo's a run for their money! The chile verde itself had a great kick to it. No flimsy bacon here!!! The bacon had a wonderful crunch, will definitely be back here! read more

Meet with the owner of the business he was really nice and friendly . Everything was good tasting that we ate and onion rings came out perfect with seasoning & homemade ranch. We appreciated the good service and food. Thanks I will likely come back and try more food. The restaurant was very clean and the ambiance was excellent 5 stars from me. read more

If you make it here when the pumpkin pancakes are in season, I highly recommend them. This place is definitely a hidden gem. We've been here a few times, trying something new each time, breakfast and lunch items. They always knock it out of the park. Friendly and attentive service. Our drinks are never empty. Laid back casual diner, with a gated parking lot they share with the restaurant next door. read more

I had the New York steak, and it was cooked perfectly. They allowed me to substitute steamed spinach instead of eggs, which I really appreciated. The service was good, and the staff was friendly and attentive. The diner has a quiet and quaint atmosphere that makes it a relaxing place to enjoy a meal. A solid spot in Banning for anyone looking for a good breakfast or lunch. read more

Wanted to try a new spot this morning and I was somewhat disappointed. I got the red sauce chilaquiles. The sauces tasted like the canned enchilada sauce you get from staters which is very unfortunate. There was nothing authentic about this place. My husband got the enchilada omelette and they both basically tasted the same. The cinnamon roll was okay, just very sweet. The service was fine, nothing spectacular. It was a small diner with some booths. Not too crowded. I didn't have it but I didn't love it. I don't think I'll be coming back. read more

Food was simply delicious. We had burgers, enchiladas, and breakfast, and everything was perfectly cooked, homemade, warm, and made with high-quality ingredients. I can just say it is worth every penny, a stop in the middle of the road in the mountains. Don't want to waste your money with fast food joints. This place is a safe bet and a great stop!!! read more

This is definitely my new favorite place to eat breakfast in the Banning/Beaumont area! Small family ownership vibes along with a very updated version of the old school classic diner feel. Ordered chile verde omelette with home fries and was DELICIOUS! 5/5!! French toast was ordered in my party and that was also a 5/5. Highly recommend! Great service, great staff, great food! read more

Loved our time at Lindo's Diner!! The inside of the diner is clean, welcoming, and open. The chile verde, the chicken enchiladas in the red salsa, beans and rice, and cinnamon roll were all fantastic. Our servers were so attentive and kind and we had such a great experience, we already can't wait to come back. Come hungry, you won't be disappointed! read more

We took a chance and stopped here on our way to Arizona. So glad we did! The food was excellent!! Great service too! Prices super reasonable for good size portions. Just like homemade!! We will be back!! read more

Very nice resturant, comfortable seating, I saw 1 large tables for like 8-10 people The service was very attentive. My friend ordered days special: Stuffed French toast, 2 eggs bacon or sausage links. I enjoyed the chile verde omelette and selected beans and flour tortillas I had choice of has browns, toast is also a choice. The chile verde was not too spicy, just right to enjoy the excellent flavors. Their coffee has a nice flavor. I tasted the stuffed French toast and it is excellent. Maybe brioche thick sliced. All well worth the dinning and reasonable prices. Will add it our eating adventures. They have a full breakfast,lunch and dinner menu. From Mexican dishes to American. Menu shows hamburgers are made on a Brioche bun with would be tasty. Next time! Give this joint a try! read more

This review is for partly Doordash as well. I submitted an order through doordash for some lunch. It was scheduled for less than an hour to arrive from my order time. About 15 min after I submitted my order, I received a phone call from someone at Doordash asking if I had received my food or not. I stated no. He then said that Lindo's mistakenly gave my order to another Doordash driver and that my food was not there. He said he would speak with them and get it handled. Then suddenly my Doordash driver changed. The new one messaged me via Doordash app and stated the same thing, that someone else had taken my order and that he was talking with the restaurant to get it figured out. At the end of everything, Lindo's refused to correct it. They said they would not remake my order and told the Doordash driver to cancel my order. I have never been to Lindo's diner prior to this, so this was my first experience with them. To me, they should be making sure that when a Doordash driver comes to pick up an order, that they are handing them the correct order in the first place. Refusing to remake my order to make it right for me is terrible customer service, as none of this was my fault. This all took over an hour for it to be figured out also. Then to top it off, it wasn't like I could re order from them after my order was cancelled because they were closed by then. I'm disappointed because I had been wanting to try Lindo's for some time now, as I've seen great reviews and heard great things about the. But now that this is my experience, I'm not sure I will be bringing my business there after all. read more

There is nothing pretentious about Lindo's Diner. If you're looking for great food at a fair price in a clean and friendly neighborhood "joint", you won't do much better than this place. It's the kind of "joint" we always hope to find on our road trips: honest, very clean, friendly, and with a solid handle on putting out great food. There's nothing snazzy on the menu, but you will find solid and creative takes on classic American and Mexican favorites, all prepared from scratch, fresh to order, and it's all done with great care for the flavors and the quality of the meal. The dining room, and what we could see of the kitchen, were immaculate, and the staff is friendly and welcoming. If you're looking for a solid meal at a fair price, Lindos is a really good place to put on your list. We'll be back when we're up that way again. read more

My friend and I ate lunch at Landos Diner today for the first time. The food and service were exceptional. Quality food and big portions!

Lindo's is a great place to stop in for great food and excellent customer service!

Found this diner on Yelp while driving back home from Palm Springs. We got huevos rancheros, breakfast burritos, chilaquiles, and a cinnamon roll (and took another one home to go!). Everything was so good! We're spoiled with bomb Mexican food in Orange County and the food here did not disappoint. Great service and such a sweet family run restaurant. Would come back again! read more

Had breakfast and it was fair at best. Service was acceptable but the place smelled like dirty grease. Just didn't seem clean. Probably won't return read more

"Absolutely amazing experience from start to finish! I visit "Lindos Diner" Everyday and I'm still thinking about their Red Grilled Chicken Enchiladas they are perfectly seasoned, juicy pieces of grilled chicken , and packed with flavor. They have a fresh homemade salsa had just the right kick. And they have the best fresh Hot Coffee and they also serve fresh homemade Menudo everyday!!! What really makes this place special, stands out from all the Mexican Restaurants in town is their incredible customer service. The staff is so warm and welcoming you could tell they genuinely care about their guests. All servers always check in often without hovering and even gave us some great menu recommendations. The restaurant itself is always spotless, with clean tables, restrooms, and a comfortable, vibrant atmosphere that made the whole experience even better and to top it off the best music playlist. Highly recommend "Lindos Diner" to anyone looking for authentic Mexican food with top-notch service. I'll definitely be coming back!" And FYI they also have a Lindos Diner in Yucaipa!! read more

Today we had the pleasure of dining at this perfect little gem of a spot, Lindo's Diner in Banning. This is a family owned and operated diner where everything is made from scratch! We were in search of a tasty breakfast from a small business restaurant because we like to support them. To say that we were pleasantly surprised is an understatement. We shared a standard egg, sausage and home fried potatoe breakfast, yet there was absolutely nothing standard about it. Every bite was flavor filled, the eggs were cooked perfectly, the potatoes were exceptional and the sausage patties were super yummy! We ordered their homemade cinnamon roll French toast and they grilled them to have a nice little "crispiness" to them that enhanced the taste. The diner has been completely refurbished inside, it gives a hip 70's diner vibe and the customer service was top notch! So run, don't walk to try them out, we will definitely return to try out various different menu options! read more

The food is delicious and the service is amazing. We loved the vibe, very clean establishment, good choice of music and very welcoming. You HAVE to try the chilaquiles with carne asada they are literally the best! We also ordered the French toast stuffed with cream cheese and strawberries DELICIOUS! My son got the Mickey Mouse pancake and tore it up haha. Overall great experience will definitely be going back to try the lunch menu if you're looking for somewhere to have breakfast or lunch, I highly recommend Lindo's diner on Ramsey! read more
