My favourite Mexican place in Durham! A busy place for a reason, the food and service are great. The chimichangas are my go -to. So cheesy! Lots of free parking. Get there early, but it's worth the wait! read more

The people are very nice but it is not authentic by any means. Lacking true Mexican flavor and it was disheartening to see that most dishes traditionally served with a corn flour base are made with white flour instead. Really great for those who don't like spice and would like a step up from Taco Bell. i would love the option for more authentic flavors here. read more

Ordered a takeout last night. Chicken quesadilla - so so Vegetarian chimichanga - very bad. Just broccoli, carrot and zuccini big chunks with cheese. Churros - gave with strawberry sauce. Noo! Tortilla chips was really good. Not ordering here again. read more

The people here were really nice. I think their food was very decent, but if you are like looking for something super authentic or to write home about you are probably going to be disappointed. I really don't want to say that they are bad, I just want people to temper their expectations when they come here. If you just went to Cancun and caught the love of Mexican food, don't expect to come to this restaurant and find comparable food. read more

This place is average at best. You walk in and it is a little run down but you are hoping for something authentic. Complimentary chips and salsa are okay. Chips and fine but the 2 types of salsa lack any flavour. I had the tacos (steak) and my wife had the chimichangas. Both served with small portion or rice, salad and beans. Rice was okay but the beans were plain and the tacos and chicken in the chimichangas just lacked spice. We have travelled to Mexico many times and are not expecting the exact same meal but give us something reasonable. I hate to say it but eating Tacos at the chain you find at the malls has more flavour and spice. The only thing I appreciated was the friendly service. The server told me to avoid the chorizo because it was not that good! I appreciate the honesty but wonder how bad the chorizo could be because the steak wasn't good either. In any case if you want Mexican there are much better options including the chains. read more

Hidden gem in Ajax for comforting Mexican food. Everything tastes amazing. Fried icecream is not so great but when they have it the tres leche was good. Lime margarita was refreshing. The rice and refried beans was delicious read more

Craving for tonight.. Mexican food. I ordered the Camarones al Mojo de Ajo-Fresh shrimps prepared in white wine and garlic sauce ($18.95) The sauce was very flavourful. Even when it say white wine sauce, it doesn't look like a white wine sauce. The shrimps were good size and tasty. We ordered the Nachos, corn tortilla chips smothered in melted cheese, ranchero sauce, sour cream, feta cheese, pico de gallo, and jalepano ($9.95) this dish was okay. It tasted a bit watery. I wasn't a huge fan of it. Chimichanga -deep fried burrito with your choice of filling and mozzarella cheese ($12.95) was flavourful, but a bit on the salty side. Overall, can give it a try. read more

Ordered take out guacamole and a veggie burrito for lunch. Guacamole and chips were some of the best I've had locally. The burrito was very good, just different from what I expected. It turned out to be a wet burrito stuffed with a ton of veggies, baked in tomato sauce and a little cheese, with beans, rice and salad on the side. Portion size was good. Food tasted great. Burrito didn't quite satisfy my burrito craving but would still go back. read more

I only ate there one time. The food was not good probably we had our dinner late so they had run out all good ingredients.

Taco salad, how do I love ye? Let me count the ways: tender pieces of chicken, delicious taco toppings, addictive taco-shelled bowl. With a pineapple Jarrito (Mexican sody pop) on the side, that's a delicious lunch right there! I've also had the enchilada (regular and suiza, which is covered with melted cheese) and the burritos....fam, all the food here is pretty darn tasty. But for me, it's taco salad for the win. Bonus: they have a stack of sombreros for all your sombrero-selfie needs :) read more

One of the best Mexican places in Ajax. When you go in you feel like you are in Mexico especially when they have Mexican hats that you can wear and eat with. The people there are super sweet and friendly. They are asking us if we are enjoying the food and experience plus they're always smiling which makes the experience better. The food is good. Loved the guacamole there and had the veggie enchiladas. Gonna come back here for sure. read more

I've lived in Ajax for almost 10 years and I finally had the opportunity to dine here. All I can say is that I have found my place for Mexican food. My husband and I took a walk and decided to stop in and have lunch. Walking in it reminded us of our regular Mexican spot downtown Toronto so already we a good feeling. Service was friendly. I ordered the fish tacos and my husband ordered the burrito. Our food was ready after a short wait and presentation was clean and appealing. Food was great and we both enjoyed our meals. Price of our meal was pretty fair. I'm not complaining considering I liked our food. For sure we will dine here again. Atmosphere was friendly and portions were enough. I don't know why we waited this long to eat here. A pleasant surprise for us. read more

As we found ourselves driving around with no idea what we wanted to eat, but knowing we were hungry, we noticed this place in what seemed like a dingy kind of run down plaza. Seeing good reviews online though, we thought we'd give it a try; and I'm sure glad we did. When we first entered, we felt transported to Mexico. The place was quite like places we've been in Mexico, with groovy colours on the walls, all kinds of decorations all over the place, and a bit of a loved but kind of run down feel to it. We were greeted and seated right away, and got a long look through the menu to start. The lady who showed us to our seat was friendly, but I've got to say on the whole the service is where they were lacking. We almost left it took so long to check in and take our order. Like 15 minutes or so. And the place wasn't exactly crazy busy. Thankfully we stuck it out, and the food was well worth the wait. First we were treated to a plate of salsa and homemade chips. Apparently every table gets them, and so it was a nice surprise. Together we ordered a chimichanga and enchiladas, and both were excellent. They were very accommodating about our food preferences too - allowing me to substitute extra salad instead of refried beans, and letting us try two very different combinations for the enchiladas. Both plates had a good sized portion on them, and although we finished every last bite of the appetizer and main dishes, we had no room left for dessert. Definitely will be heading back again next time we're anywhere near! read more

When I entered, I felt like this would be the best Mexican meal I will ever have, boy was I wrong! The place has a really good environment and really makes you feel homely and authentic, but the food was extremely bland. I am no expert in the authenticity of Mexican food, what I do know is that it should be flavourful and slightly spicy. We had Nachos, Flautas, Chimichanga and Deep Fried Ice cream, let me review all of them separately. 1) Nachos - Most decent dish we tried, use of high-quality cheese was evident, however, apart from the good cheese, there wasn't much taste to it, it wasn't spicy at all as well. 2) Flautas, Fried tortillas file with bland chicken topped with lettuce and sour cream, no flavour whatsoever. 3) Chimichanga, It was filled with just ground beef and nothing else, the ground beef was not flavourful nor spicy. Rice, beans, and lettuce on the side is not enough to save the dish 4) Deep Fried ice cream - this was the most disappointing thing on the menu. It was very clear that the dessert was fried very long ago and was kept in the freezer. It was entirely cold, very chewy and even the ice cream flavour was bad. Very disappointing. read more

Good This restaurant has been around for a while now, I have only been there at least twice. The ambiance has a nice homey appeal to it, you always feel welcomed. They owners are very kind and give you an authentic experience of the Mexican lifestyle. The food is well seasoned and there is a lot of things to choose from. The food did not blow me away in presentation and taste, it was just good. I would highly recommend their churros. Overall, it was decent experience and i would say it is worth the money, just do not go in with high expectations. read more

I just had dinner at this restaurant with my family. I will start by saying that this place has gone downhill over the years. I have had better meals at Taco Bell. The quality of ingredients used are inferior and most certainly come frozen or canned. I could excuse that but the prices have increased and serving sizes shrank. There is lettuce to no care put into the food. Other than a new paint job, the place is in ill repair. To top it off as we were eating a cockroach crawled down the wall right at our table and scurried across the table. My daughter killed it and we chose to not make an issue of it but I can assure you we will never dine here again. I would rather spend the few extra dollars and eat at another Mexican restaurant located nearby which is leaps and bounds superior to Mexico Lindo. read more

I love this place! The red sangria is delicious with lots of fruit. You always get greeted with homemade salsa and chips. . The sauces are all prepared on site and they are yummy! Want hotter ask :) I normally get tacos but their edible taco bowl salad is also fabulous. ... no complaints from any guests yet except they ate too much read more

This is our second visit to Mexico Lindo. We came when it first opened years back. We ordered the calamari, but they don't have it today? So we are going with the shrimp at the suggestion of our server. The shrimp is our appetizer, I am having Chimichanga and hubby having the tacos for our main course. The shrimps are delicious! They come with bread that is basically garlic bread, I think plain bread would be better. Big jumbo shrimps in a little bit spicy sauce, very good! Our main courses were good also. read more

Mexico Lindo - Shrimp appetizer! Yummy - Mexican Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

Overall, I really enjoyed my dining experience at Mexico Lindo. Staff was very friendly, prices were great and the food was tasty. Buddy and I ordered the Chorico nachos for our appetizer. Quite a generous portion with great flavour, must say that I really enjoyed it that if I was ever in the mood for just having nachos, I'm just going to get them here! As for my main, I had the Mezlatán combo, and the bud got the Aji Camarones entrée. I'm allergic to shellfish so I can't speak for the dish, but from what was left on the plate, looks like he really enjoyed it. For my entrée, I must say it was great, the beef was seasoned well and the chicken in the burrito was not dry at all or simply just white meat, delicious. Had the deep-fried ice cream for dessert to finish. It was what it was, frozen ice cream ball coated in cornflakes type crust. Always a fave of mine. read more

Mexico Lindo - Chorico nachos. - Mexican Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

This is one of my absolute favorite spots for Mexican. We have eaten here countless times and the food is consistently excellent. The Sopa Cancun is incredibly flavorful with a tomato-based broth, loaded w/chicken, slices of fresh avocado, cheese and tomato. The salsas that accompany the complimentary tortilla chips are bursting w/flavor. They give three different kinds of salsa...mild, med., hot & spicy. I highly recommend the enchiladas as you get two, your choice of meet, topped w/the sauce(s) of your choice. The Mole is sweet and quite an interesting choice! Why not try something new?! The service too is always friendly and helpful! read more

Great little restaurant! I had the Tabasco(spicy beef burrito and chicken enchilada). The portions were really large. We called in our order because we only have a have hour for lunch and the food was ready as soon as we sat down. Atmosphere was really cool, and brought back memories of my last trip to Mexico. Service was great, I'll be returning soon. I highly recommend! James B. read more

Mexico Lindo - Mexican Near Me - Ajax, Ontario

Mexico Lindo serves up delicious home-style Mexican food. I would highly recommend this place for anyone who wants to experience the closest thing to authentic Mexican dining within Durham Region. On this particular visit, we ordered a taco salad to share as an appetizer (the deep-fried bowl that it comes in is SO good), a chicken chimichanga, and a chicken quesadilla. On top of this, they also provide you with complimentary chips and homemade salsa. We both thoroughly enjoyed our meals and it kept us sustained for the entire rest of the night. The flavours are impeccable and definitely taste like homemade recipes! Upon arrival, you will find that the atmosphere is colourful and festive which only adds to the dining experience. The service is quick and straight-to-the-point, which I enjoyed for that type of atmosphere. I was also happy to discover that they do take-out! I will definitely be back one day to try more of their delicious selections :) read more

I love this place, but had to mark it down a little for slower service. Don't go if you're in a big rush. That being said, the food is consistently great and the staff are super friendly. I've been back several times, often to introduce it to new friends. Rumour has it that this one is owned by the same folks who own the one on Bayview, which I also love. My go-to dish is the Burrito Grande because it's large enough for 2 meals (for me, a smaller appetite) and is delicious. Don't miss out on a healthy dose of killer guac and chips to start. read more

The moment we went in the restaurant, we were greet by this nice gentleman. The servers were nice and the service was fast, foods was delis, their margaritas was amazingly good!

This is my 2nd time here and my first time I had a great experience but this time I just don't get it. I came in around 7:20 and we wait about 20 minutes for a table which is ok for a Friday night, and we ordered before the waiter gave us the menu because we already know what we want while waiting. Now it is 8:45 my table is still empty, I mean it was full when I came in and now there are only 4 other tables beside us. I am really disappointed. And during my hour waiting at the table I see there are even take out order bing picked up, maybe we are just not that important??? I will say if you are in a rush or anything think twice before you came in. Around 9:00 The waiter came to confirm my order and the finally at around 9:10 our appetizer finally came and then 5 minutes later we got our entry. We finished at 9:30, the restaurant suppose to close at 9. I mean how can you prioritize take out over done in customer, does that mean I should leave in the middle of the waiting just call order take out? Don't get me wrong the food is good, but the services is terrible and no one even came explain it to me what is going on, the only thing I got is "thanks for the patience! " read more

Aweful, will never be back. Nachos were soggy and inedible. The only thing positive is told ready in 20 min and it was but good was overpriced and inedible for 3 of four dishes ordered. read more

Had a quick lunch there. It is a welcoming restaurant in a nondescript strip mall. It is decorated in an abundant and colourful manner with Mexican items. The menu is fairly inclusive. I was surprised that there were no lunch specials....Just on menu. For starters I had the house salad which was plentiful and tasty. The only off-putting not was that instead of using queso blanco they use feta in all their dishes. This alone is costing a 1/2 a star. The Feta just did not work. I had a burrito as a main course and it was fresh, well prepared, and tasty. The mexican rice and the re-fried beans were just that; nothing special. The service is prompt and friendly, but for lunch it was on the pricey side. I am giving it 4 stars because I can't give it 3.5 stars. I will return and try out some of the other dishes. read more

Amazing Mexican food. Comfortable and casual atmosphere. The mojito was refreshing and not too sweet. Our table ordered 3 combos (sorry, can't remember what they were called) but all were delish!! Only down side was they didn't have any guacamole. BUT it should be noted that the reason for this was because the avocados were not good that day. So I appreciate them not serving something sub par. We had a total of 4 people for dinner and it was everyone's first visit and we will all be back. A must try!!!! read more

Wow, outstanding!!!This tastes like Mexico, the authentic home cooked stuff. I'm typing as I eat. The enchiladas are terrific, the refried beans have a lovely smoky flavour. The portions are huge. Yes I am coming back here and bringing the wife. Oh and the diablo sauce is actually hot. read more

One of the best Mexican Restaurants I have been in. The waitress is very courteous and very polite. It took a little while for the servers to take the orders and the food came a little slow nonetheless, the service is very good (it could have been the fact that the food just took a little longer to prepare) The meal comes with complementary nachos and dips which is really good and subdue the hunger. The food in the restaurant is very tasty. You will not be disappointed......ever!! The quality of food and service has remained very consistent and good over the years. I definitely recommend the place. Don't let the location of the place throw you off. It's a hidden gem in Ajax. read more

Food was delicious. Ordered the nachos, chorizo tacos and sangria. The diablo sauce is not to be messed with; I ordered it on the side and it was hot! read more

Mexico Lindo has become one of my family's favorite restaurants in Ajax. The staff is very friendly, the service is great, the food is outstanding and the portions are slightly intimidating.
