    a mexican restaurant in a parking lot
    Zoë D.

    Mexico Lindo is a small authentic Mexican restaurant with a Mexican grocery attached. Easy to miss, it is located behind and to the side of a Rite Aid pharmacy. This is not your typical Mexican chain restaurant. While the (relatively small) menu has offerings for American tastes, the entire point of coming to Mexico Lindo is for the authentic Mexican food. Owned and operated by Mexicans (same family I'd imagine), many of the staff do not speak english. The restaurant, in my opinion, was created to satisfy the tastes of Mexican migrant workers, not to add to the deluge of "Americanized Mexican" restaurants. Of course you can find burritos, enchilades, carne asada, chimichangas, and fajitas, as well as steak, various salads, and stuff for the kids. The real draw is the back page of the menu. Entitled "Con Puro Sabor Mexicano", this is where you find the traditional, authentic offerings. Empanadas, tortas, big mexican-style tacos (complete with onions & cilantro, with spicy salsa verde, and lime on the side... pollo - my favorite)... you can even get Ceviche & Coctel De Camaron. The last two I'd like to try, but maybe not in Kentucky where the closest we are to the ocean is the Ohio River. It might be delicious, though! They're not in business to impress the public majority with a large menu or over-the-top-delicious food. In fact, you can find most of the items in a thousand other Mexican-style restaurants, with prices comparable to what you'd expect normally. However, if you want truly authentic Mexican fare (including imported beers and sodas), at EXTREMELY reasonable prices, you'd do well to stop in. Overall, I'd call their food average-to-above average, but in my book the authentic dishes are quite tasty and VERY filling. The prices of the authentic menu are matched to wages of migrant workers. One authentic taco costs $1.50, and they're BIG! I have trouble getting completely through two of them! Add to that the complimentary chips and salsa (also tasty), you'll have no trouble leaving with your belly, as well as your wallet, full. By no means the Best Of The Best, they don't try to outdo anyone. What they do, however, they do pretty well. The next time you're in the area and have a hankering for REAL Mexican, skip the chains, order from the back of the menu, and give Mexico Lindo a try!

    Not fancy but it's clean. Simple menu with straightforward choices. We both got $9 burritos with everything. They were tasty and filling.

    Anyone can see that Carrollton has plenty to offer for Latino cuisine. But this place is where…read moreit's at. The owner of the establishment works in the kitchen along with help and makes the best quesadillas I have eaten. When I stop in I like to eat the picnic tables because it's way too much to eat going down the road and it's too far from my house to wait until I get home. The atmosphere is laid back and just other hungry people getting good food at an economical price. If you haven't tried it, stop by today.

    These just aren't the best tacos I've ever had, this is the best meal I've ever had. Since finding…read morethis place, I've been back 4-5 times now and each time it somehow gets better and better. I travel all over the state and I've been to 20+ taquerias in the last year, and I can confidently say that these are far and away the best tacos in Kentucky and even beating any and all spots in the Cincinnati metro area. The meats, the salsa, the tortillas, everything is better. On my deathbed, I want nothing more than a plate of these tacos. I can't think of a single thing that would make them better. They have such a large menu, but I may never know what all of that tastes like because I will get tacos every single time. They have a brick and mortar restaurant in Ghent worth checking out too. It's 99% as good, but the tacos here just taste slightly better. I'll probably transition to the one in Ghent for the winter. Here it's always nice to sit on the picnic tables and enjoy the fresh air. In summary, try these and you won't want any other tacos in your life.
