Being from Chicago I had high expectations from Mexican restaurants & so far this place has been the best one yet. Their burritos are great sized. The only downside is not being able to pick it up. Good place good prices. read more

I ordered from here for the first time ever today and I was using a Groupon. I want to say, up front in an effort to demonstrate objectivity, that I made the mistake of not reading the Groupon terms and conditions, so that part is entirely my fault. When I got there, there were maybe two or three tables full of people so it didn't seem very busy. I was unfamiliar with the process at this particular restaurant since I'd never been there before and I've never had "authentic" Mexican food so I was a little out of my element. I was picking up food for my boyfriend to take to him at work. The guy who took my order was really nice, very patient and accommodating. It was taking a long time for my order to come out and he kept apologizing but it wasn't his fault and I wasn't in a hurry so I didn't think anything of it. When I'd ordered, though, I did mention about using a Groupon and no one said anything to me about the Groupon being for dine-in only. That being said, when my food finally was ready and I went up to pay, there was a different man accepting my payment, I'm assuming the owner?, who informed me that the Groupons are for dine-in only. Which, as I've mentioned, is clearly stated in the terms and conditions that I did not fully read. So, my fault. However, he tells me that if I pay an additional $5, I can use my Groupon. I don't know how ethical that was, but I agree because the Groupon was $9 plus the extra five means $14 and the bill total was $21 so ultimately I still saved money but by this point I'd waited almost 40 minutes for my food. A few other tables came in after me and were served while I was still waiting. I was surprised that there was no effort on management's part to ensure repeat business by offering to accept this Groupon (without the $5 upcharge), and just explaining that in the future it's for dine-in only. After spending almost 40 mins there I basically WAS dine-in. Also, considering how nice the guy who took my order was and how hard he was working -- by himself-- in what became a very busy dining area, I was GOING to leave him a tip, but that manager pretty much took that from him because he took my cash. If this was MY restaurant, I would have apologized profusely for the wait and accommodated the Groupon as-is in an effort to uphold excellent customer service. I wouldn't be so surprised if I hadn't waited so long, but I waited a REALLY long time for a take-out order. My boyfriend really enjoyed his food -- chicken enchilada de mole and the Mexico lindo burrito -- so we probably will get food from here again, but I'm not interested in dining here. I'm just disappointed with the (what I presume was) management's effort to please me as a guest. read more

Loving complimentary margarita night. Great service and the good just do die for. Will be coming back again. read more

Mexico Lindo - Mexican Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

We were excited to try this place. Sadly, disappointed on essentially all dimensions. Can't believe this place gets such high marks in Yelp. First time we've been so out of sync with Yelp. Server uninformed at best (Chorizo? wassat?), food remarkably totally and unacceptably bland, salsa watery and foul tasting, chips cardboard, menu and table blobbed with goo and sticky, margarita indistinguishable from sugar water. Whole thing overpriced for what we got for sure. Would be willing to forgive a lot of flaws if the main courses were palatable. We've had lots and lots of Mexican and Tex Mex. Unfortunately the worst ever. Do yourself a favor and try La Lupita or Cactus Blue. (Or even Taco Bell for crying out loud) . read more

Small place but friendly service and delicious food. VERY affordable. For a group of seven people our bill was $110 including tip. BYOB.

Fantastic food, service, and ownership. The steak and chicken tacos are awesome! The aztek soup is also an A+! Jose, the owner, is there every time I visit and clearly cares about the experience each guest has. One of my favorite valley eateries. read more

This restaurant is terrible. The food is soggy and unevenly heated as if it was microwaved. The service is terrible with the waitress hanging out in the kitchen having long conversations with the cook instead of out in the front available to tend to diners' needs. They don't accept the $10 for $5 voucher from Yelp. So don't buy it. There is a sign on the door saying they don't accept coupons on the weekends but the Yelp voucher is not a coupon. Regardless, restaurants are not allowed to add conditions to the terms of the vouchers that are not explicitly listed on Yelp's terms and conditions which state nothing about not being able to use it on a weekend. But the main takeaway is, the food sucks, the service is worse. Go to El Paisano a couple of blocks away for much better food and service at half the price. read more

The service was horrible. Only ordered takeout and the hostess was extremely rude. Claimed she told me over the phone they were cash only but she most definitely did not. In a very snobby fashion she told me to make sure I bring cash next time and continued to make rude remarks about how I forgot to bring cash. Making the customer feel stupid practically. Also, wondering why they would switch to cash only during Covid?? Maybe they are skipping their taxes? I have been going here for about 8 years. After ordering food personally and for corporate events over the years, this will be the last time I ever order food from here again. The food was sub par at best as well. Today was the day I was there. March 2, 2021 at around 6:40. read more

Mexico City in the Lehigh Valley! Being a frequent visitor to Mexico City does not make me an expert, but it is uncanny how the food at Mexico Lindo transports me to that capital south of the border. We love taking friends here and seeing their reaction to the food. It is cheap, clean and friendly. I especially like the Sopes, which use a thick homemade tortilla. The chef (from Mexico City) makes his own chorizo and it is truly the best I've had in the U.S. A few months ago I would have given them 4 stars due to inconsistent and often slow service, but they seem to have solved the problem as service at each of our last 4 visits has been great. My guess is that poor reviewers are maybe looking for a traditional Mexican/American style of mexican food. You won't find it here. Try something new and you'll be pleasantly surprised. read more

For sure the best Mom and pop Mexican resturant in the Lehigh valley. I don't want to name other places, however this please beats them all from food quality to price. We usually have their nachos which are amazing. They are the only place that layer cheese between the entire pile of chips and then bake it. Great place for vegetarians. read more

Look close or you'll miss it - we drove by it twice. Table for 6, we had the streak burrito, nachos, chicken/steak fajita combo and chicken enchiladas. Other than the chicken in the enchiladas being a little dry and bland, every thing else was outstanding. The salsa is perfect! read more

Mexico Lindo - Look for the sign or you may drive right by it, I did - twice - Mexican Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

Delicious authentic Mexican food! The steak tacos and chicken enchiladas were spot on and the prices were pretty unbeatable--especially for what you get. Also, if you head there on a Friday, they hook you up with comp margaritas. read more

This place was amazing! We went on a Friday night last month, stopped by a few restaurants who had about an hour wait so I found this place and I'm glad I did. It's a small restaurant but the food was so authentic and delicious. Our waitress was super busy and also apologetic for the wait for our meal but they were unexpectedly busy and the food was worth the wait. We had the taquitos de pollo for appetizer and they were so big and filled with meat. My daughter got the kids chicken tenders and she loved them, she said it was one of the best chicken tenders she's ever had, that says a lot because shes picky. As a meal i got the carne asada and it was delicious and felt like you were having a home cooked meal. It brought carne asada, rice, beans, salad and some avocado. If i'm ever back in this area i would definitely go back. One thing that caught us off guard was that you had to bring your own alcoholic drinks, I don't know if this is a PA thing or in combination with all the COVID stuff going on. read more

Mexico Lindo - Carne Asada meal and a Jarrito - Mexican Near Me - Bethlehem, Pennsylvania

This used to be my favorite Mexican restaurant area but not anymore. The waitress who was there last night was rude which made the first 10 minutes of being in the restaurant unbearable. She must have been one of the worst waitresses I've ever had. The whole entire time she was condescending and rude. I will not be returning to this restaurant anytime soon because of this experience. read more

I was visiting the area on business and was looking for places to eat when the relatively high reviews here caught my eye. I could have had an "off" experience but I was far from impressed. To begin, I was a bit leery walking in when I noticed the handmade sign hanging from the outside railing (clue #1). It read, "WELCOME TO MEXICO LINDO AUTENTIC MEXICAN FOOD" and it appeared to be painted on an old bed sheet. At this point, I continued in as I have had some excellent food at some hole-in-the-wall, Mom and Pop type places. The sketchy theme carried through after I entered the restaurant. It was approaching 1:15pm on a Monday and there was only one table taken by three young businessmen (clue #2). I took a seat at an open table as directed by one of the two visible staff members, I believe the cook. After a few seconds of looking, I realized the take-out brochure on the table was, in fact, the menu (clue #3). I quickly perused the menu and the waitress came over and took my order, a steak burrito and a Lime Jarritos. She came back quickly with the bottle of soda, a straw, and a basket of chips with a small bowl of salsa. The serving was small but more than adequate for one person. At this point, things were looking up as the chips were served very hot and seemed freshly made. The salsa, on the other hand, was a little unique and not really my favorite. It seemed a bit pasty and some of the chunks of tomato were quite large. I'm not sure if the salsa seemed pasty because it possibly contained too much tomato paste, or because it was old and dried out. At the time, I was thinking/hoping the former. The burrito took a bit longer than I expected to arrive, about 12 minutes considering that the only other diners were already finishing their meals. I chalked this up as a plus, as I figured things were being prepared fresh. The burrito came on an oval plate and was a significant serving size. It looked prepared as described in the "menu" as it was topped with lettuce and a cream sauce. The amount of cream sauce seemed a little excessive to me (I'm trying to watch my svelte figure), so I might suggest ordering the sauce light, or on the side if you decide that you should try this place out for yourself and you fancy a burrito. Most of the shredded lettuce visible under the sauce was brown or turning brown (clue #4). At this point, I came to find that I would not be dining alone. I was joined by a small house fly that seemed to drawn to my table. Despite my swatting, Seth (sorry for the 80's movie reference), was staying (clue #5). He didn't actually attempt to land on my food but preferred to hang out on the classic plastic top/felt bottomed, red checkered tablecloth. As I was dining with a guest, I figured it proper to place my napkin upon my lap. As I grabbed my napkin wrapped silverware, I noticed that the little green paper wrap that holds the napkin around the silverware had been torn in half longways. This was either a genius method of cutting the extensive cost of wrapping napkins around silverware (I'm all about saving money, especially during hard times) or as I now look back, clue #5. In all fairness, this by itself is not a significant clue but I should mention that it is paired with the fact that there was also a holder on the table containing additional napkins. Not the same normal sized, paper, restaurant style, rectangular napkins which protected the silverware, but cocktail sized, square napkins that were about as thick as tissue paper. Again, not an earth shattering issue, but further compounded by the fact that the top ridges or edge of the napkins in the holder appeared to have a questionable cleanliness factor. I dug into the burrito despite the browning lettuce which I had dismissed as just being cut too early in the day and was not blown away by the flavor. The steak inside was tender, but the flavor seemed a little off. It wasn't necessarily bad, but at the same time, not really good either. I don't claim to be a food expert here but the cheese seemed a little funky as well. I'm not sure what type of cheese was in the burrito, but it seemed to be a little gummy or gooey; not in a desirable, melted cheese fashion but more like that of really gooey, pasty rice (not chunky or lumpy, just the gummy part). Again, this may be the normal attribute of the cheese used but I have never had anything quite like that. On the positive side, the meal was served quite hot and held it's temperature while I ate. As I write this review in the wee hours of the morning, I am awake not by choice or normal sleeping habit but because of the horrible experience my bathroom and I just shared. Though I can't blame Mexico Lindo with any burden of proof, I would say they will forever remain highly suspect in my opinion and should my travels someday take me back to Bethlehem, I will most certainly be looking elsewhere for an "autentic" meal! read more

I was here a few years ago and enjoyed the food at that time, despite the slow service. I purchased a Groupon with the intention of going again. There were specifications that stated it had to be used for lunch only, during certain hours which was ok with me. On Saturday March 12th, 2016 I tried to go there for lunch but there was a sign on the door that said they were closed. Bethlehem's St Patrick's Day parade was this day so I found it odd that they were not taking advantage of the fact that a lot of people were out and about. Oh well. I held onto the Groupon to try and use another time. My husband and I walked to Cilantro and had excellent Mexican food there instead. I thought I had my second chance on April 22nd, 2016 during a trip with a girlfriend. We arrived here at 12:20 p.m. only to find that they were closed. Their posted hours said they opened 11:00 a.m. and yet, the door was locked and there were no lights on. There was no sign either this time explaining that they were closed. Remembering how good Cilantro was, my girlfriend and I walked there and again- I had a delicious Mexican lunch with great service at a reasonable price. I then called Groupon, explained the situation about the restaurant being closed 2x when I tried to go and was issued a refund. Without them, I would never have discovered Cilantro so I have to thank Mexico Lindo for that. My advice is to walk there instead. read more

Clearly we've been back since my first review. And there's a reason for that - the place is great. I really don't understand some of the negative reviews. People, if you want locally-sourced organic micro-cilantro placed on your tacos with a tweezer, please PLEASE go somewhere else. It will make it easier for me to get the table near the window that I like. If you want great, honest, earthy food, friendly service, big portions and a low-key, local, family vibe, come here. read more

LOve this place -- prob my favorite in the valley - authentic - owner is very friendly and makes you feel at home - love the pork tacos and the salsa and the tomatillo sauce is amazing.. Try this place - you wont be dissapointed! read more

The best in Bethlehem! This little place has the best Mexican food in town. It's a family owned restaurant, and they do a great job. It's pretty much authentic Mexican food so if you don't care for it you're probably just used to Tex-Mex. read more

Very disappointed. Please listen to the negative reviews that are posted. They are all accurate. The ambiance is nothing to be desired, unless they had great food...which they don't. As compared to the other mexican restaurants in bethlehem (i.e. La Lupita, Tulum, etc.) it is very poor. Decent prices, but no quality. Cold food. Not authentic. "Store-bought" tasting salsa, rice, and soupy beans. My boyfriend and I bought a $10 for $20 coupon and I'm glad we did. I love Mexican and would have hated to pay full price for this meal. read more

We went here on a recommendation from one of my mom's friends. My dad found 2 reviews online before we went. One was a rave review and one said the portions were too small. That second person was crazy! This place has friendly staff, HUGE portions, and delicious food. I didn't like their chips, but that's my personal taste. I think they're actually more authentic - they're the heavier/thicker more greasy style. Prices are average, but when I think about the fact that I got 2 meals out of my burrito, suddenly it seems super cheap. read more

I gotta tell ya.....If I hear the name Mexico Lindo...the thought of those INCREDIBLE chicken flautas comes to mind..and I start drooling like a dog in front of a butcher shop. They are the best I've had in town since Vicky's Fonda closed years ago. It's a cute tiny little place and the people who serve you are always very sweet. read more

Seeking to avoid the crowds during the Celtic Classic, led me to this family own authentic restaurant, where I was able to sit at a lunch counter, and order authentic tacos with lengua, chorizo, and carnitas. Topped only with onions and cilantro they were authentic though the tacos tore easily, (even though they were doubled). I suspect they do not make them fresh there, and they were a bit bigger than I am used to. The side order of rice and beans was a huge plate of simple rice, and very good retried beans that still had chunks of beans, rather than them being pureed like baby food. Drinks were the usual Mexican sodas including about five Jarritos flavors. Chips were good and the freshly made green salsa was spicy though a bit lacking in flavor. Worth a return visit to try the Huarraches. read more

homemade salsas were tasty appropriate musica chorizo taco was a little greasy spicy shrimp and rice and beans. it was good but not great. the guy in the back was super nice and handled all the seating and cooking and serving duties until a waitress came at the 11th hour. read more

Sorry folks who raved - we were not so impressed. Had pollo mole, it was eh. And the rice was boring and the beans tasted a bit off at worst, flavorless at best. The mole didn't taste homemade, but I'm hardly a mole expert. It wasn't so bad that i didn't eat my leftovers. But i doubt we will bother to return, maybe if we happen to be in the area. Sort of felt like the kitchen staff were lurking and staring. Felt a little unwelcome. We were the only ones there. Very loud spanish game show on the tv dominated the dining atmosphere. Waitress was nice but a bit awkward and inexperienced. read more

Really good tacos and enchiladas. Reasonably priced. Update: Went there again recently. The food did not disappoint. The enchiladas verde are not as good as the enchiladas con mole but they are very decent. The tongue tacos are very good, but they are not always available. read more

Bueno, had the tamal verde and the chicken enchiladas verde and I must say quite flavorful. A little skimpy on the sauce on the enchiladas, but quite delicious. Service was good and the food came out quick. My buddy order the pork tacos, 2 kinds shredded and marinated pork and said their pork was good but a little on the dry side. read more

Everything was OK, but barely that. The entree did not come out hot and the fajitas were not sizzling. Food did not seem made to order. Service was friendly, and prices reasonable. Based on tonight, I would not return. read more

This place was great, from the great service to the wonderful food. I will be back! I had the beef tacos, and nachos, both great. Salsa is good as well. Waitress was outstanding. She took our order promptly and served out food in a decent time. read more

Fantastic food. Takes a bit of time but then you learn everything is made fresh, including the amazing guacamole. Great staff and extremely affordable. read more

Went for lunch today with my little family. About 2pm and it was empty. Didn't bother me none. Okay, the guacamole was made Fresh and it was great! I had the chicken flautas, also delicious but I really didn't care for the rice and beans. Neither did my children. Had to order them chicken nuggets and fries, they are 3 & 2 and not taco style food lovers lol my husband had beef tacos and a tostado. Everything was fresh,ADR to order and tasty. We would come back again, oh I also had two chicken Sosas? Really good too. 4 meals, guacamole, 2 sodas all for $38!!! read more

Winner for Best Hole-In-The-Wall and Best Deal in Lehigh Valley. Excellent and authentic. Highly recommend the Tamales de Pollo Verde as an appetizer. Those used to smallish tamales will be surprised. For $2 it is unbeatable. $1 Taco Tuesdays. With chorizo tacos. Yeah. That. Definite recommend for at least a try when the rest of the restaurants have 50 minute waits. You won't be disappointed read more

I love this little restaurant! I really like the chorinachos and steak fajitas. I also love the enchiladas with the green and red sauce. I wasn't crazy about the mole sauce but I also never had it before so I have no comparison. Tacos and burritos are good and they have daily specials. read more

Stopped by at the restaurant while visiting Pennsylvania. Ordered 1 burrito and 1 enchilada. Enchilada was my favorite. Had Jeff as my server. He was customer friendly and respectful. Will definitely return. read more

Waaaaay better than expected! What it lacks in curb appeal it makes up in both taste and service. We were initially put off by the neighborhood (sorry if you're a local), but ultimately we were glad we went. I had the chicken mole enchiladas, my husband had an assortment of tacos, and together we had guacamole. The mole was very good, as was the guacamole and my husband seemed happy with his tacos. Service was cheerful and welcoming. read more

this is by far my favorite mexican spot, I've been going to mexico lindo for the past 3 years and I can't get enough of it. I've purchased groupon deals for this place because is that great. I usually get my usual of a chicken quesadilla with a side of guacamole, however some days I add so tacos on the side everything is great. read more

Great authentic , non-americanized Mexican Food Worth a try.

Really good, fresh Mexican food. We have visited here a few times now and have always had a good meal. The prices are very reasonable and you can tell everything is homemade, which is always a plus. Would easily recommend anyone to visit and try the food as you will not be disappointed. They also have some really good specials throughout the week, so check those out as well. read more

Excellent Mexican food !! My wife and I finally tried this place last night (Friday 4/28),stopped in around 7pm. The interior feels comfortable and has lots of cool Aztec/Mexican pictures on the walls. The complimentary chips and two types of salsa...red and tomatillo were wonderful !! We also ordered a side of their pico de gallo. YUM !! Very fresh !! My wife got the Enchilladas Suizas and I got a chicken burrito. Really really good !!! I took half the burrito home and the wife took a box too !! They also gave us complimentary Margaritas which were refreshing and tasty !! Service was good too We have found our "Go To Mexican" place now !! read more

Loved our first time here!! Small and cute ambiance. The food was delicious! Authentic Mexican food, to the tee! Just what I was craving! Good prices. Lots of people coming for take out. Our waitress was very nice and professional. Didn't know it was a BYOB and were hoping for some margaritas to wash down the spicy food but still definitely worth it! We will definitely be back! read more
