Ya can't beat a meal on the patio overlooking the lake. It was one of the most enjoyable and relaxing meals of out quick visit. A warm day, but we were able to hide in the shade feel a slight breeze. There was 1 server for the patio as it was only able half full mid afternoon. We were able to place our order quickly and food was delivered about 10 minutes later. As it was a bit of an odd time to eat, I ordered a quesadilla and my husband a burrito. Both were good and sizable portions. Mine could have used a bit more guac and sour cream, but otherwise I liked it. The restaurant has a nice decor. A lively and fun Mexican theme throughout. There is plenty of indoor seating, an outdoor patio with a view, and seating in and around the bar. read more

There's a reason this place has such low ratings. Let's start with the appetizer. The queso dip was actually ok, however we were served a bunch of stale crumbs for chips. For the entree, I ordered the Chile Relleno, absolutely disgusting. I think they used the same queso cheese on the inside instead regular cheese, when I cut into it all the cheese just poured out like soup. Also the chile itself tasted old and soggy. Sorry Mexico Lindo, I won't be back. read more

We stumbled upon this place after ice cream and what a gem with fantastic lake views! We grabbed a patio seat with unobstructed lake view on a Saturday afternoon to our surprise. The marg and tacos were excellent so was the service. The prices are not more expensive than elsewhere in town which is even better! The views can't get any better than this plus you're away from the tourist crowd in Canal Park (well, for the most part as the whole board walk is touristy :). read more

Love the authentic Mexican food the delivery service was great all around awesome experience

I'm not sure what is happening here but the last few times we've been there, they are so short staffed, everything takes forever, the quality is not what it was and they are frequently out of staples(like pork). This time I didn't even order food because drinks alone took 14 min and when I went up to the bar to see if that would be faster, the patrons sitting at the bar said they hadn't seen anyone in 20 min. The staff are trying. We witnessed one wait staff crying. This is on ownership. The poor staff cannot keep up. read more

Awful. We waited 20 minutes to get our drink order taken and another 40 minutes on top of that for our food. When my Texas fajitas came the meat was burnt and over cooked and the veggies were raw. Our server was nice but she didn't get refills on chips or drinks. We won't be returning :(. read more

Great authentic Mexican food! Chips and salsa served right away, the food also comes out fast. I got the pick 3 combo for $13.50, I ordered the Quesadilla & burrito with chicken and the taco with beef. They come loaded with meat, my favorite was the quesadilla. The margarita was $9.99 and huge! It was also just the medium size! When you walk in you can have the hostess validate your parking pass. Great service and filling food, definitely recommend! read more

host was more interested in eating her dinner at the host stand then taking care of us. chips were stale and the Salsa was poor. The decor is 40 years old, it's the old ChiChi's from 1985 which has never been updated. Staff was poorly trained and the food wasn't fresh. After ordering and 20 minutes they gave us the wrong food and never checked back. We ate what we could and finally they came back and said "you got the wrong food". After all that a Manager then came out with our food and wondered if wanted it in a to go box and made excuses about her kitchen staff. We got a discount bill, paid it and got out of there. needless to say we were not please. At 5:30 we were one of only a few customers in the place and we now understand why... In six months to a year they will be closing their doors, mark my words!!! read more

Food was cheap and tastes good plus the service was good as well I don't understand why it is rated so harshly

Beef and chicken chimichangas were fantastic and really good refried beans. The food did take quite awhile to get which is why it only got 4 stars. Margaritas were not the best either. read more

Food was not good-- seemed as though it had been sitting for days then microwaved and served.

Ok chimichangas were good. I got chicken. Delicious. But I've always seen it as one big ass chimichanga. This was two tiny ones. Still so good and came with refried beans. My finance got the linda especial or something and it was incredible!!! So much delicious chicken, beef and shrimp, lots of veggies and rice. A little spice to it. Margaritas were delicious! We sat at the bar at 10pm and had great service. Worth eating here. read more

Very good and very good prices! Food Ordered: Side of rice which was great- Fluffy, flavorful and had vegetables mixed in. Taco salad with shredded beef (more link chunks) Quesadilla trio with guacamole and pico salad. Habanero burrito which was good, but too hot for my husband how lives on hot food. This was just too hot for him to even finish. Really decent prices and close to hotel which made it even better. Would for sure venture back. read more

Best Mexican place in town. Free chips & salsa, great margaritas & good food. It can be busy but trust me, it is worth it! This is a good ole Mexican restaurant full of laughter and good vibes. There is also outside seating but watch out for the birds, haha read more

4/5 for atmosphere, 3.5/5 for service, 2.5/5 for food We happened upon this place after a nice mid afternoon walk up the shoreline. We saw the patio from the boardwalk, but we weren't sure what restaurant it was. We usually do a good amount of research on restaurants for whichever city we are visiting, but never saw this on the map, and had never heard of it before. Really hard to know about and not much marketing to show off this spot. We wanted to grab a spot on the patio, as the summer day was brightening up, and the host brought us out and tried to seat us right next to the only other party on the deck, they had a small child, and there were about 12 other empty tables but we were told that section was closed. When our server came out she happily moved us to one of the other more spacious tables. As it got sunnier, the staff brought out umbrellas and it created a super comfortable atmosphere. We ordered drinks: mango margarita, strawberry daiquiri and sangria, and we ordered food: queso, fajitas, and a lunch chimichanga. Our server was great and chill, but the support staff was lacking. When a food runner brought out our queso, he left without even seeing we had no chips left. Seems the simple things are not trained. The drinks were super super good, but the food was only ok. The best thing we had was the fajitas and we were shocked how long they stayed warm. Queso was really subpar like directly out of the $1 jar. The oddest thing was we were never asked if we wanted another drink. We each would have ordered another drink, but when they came and saw ours were empty they simply took them away and didn't ask if we wanted anything else. And brought the check super early without asking if we wanted any more food. Overall, odd they didn't try to upsell, and almost as if they wanted to get rid of us - which didn't seem quite right on a mostly empty patio. read more

Delicious Mexican with lake views. They also have a patio facing Lake Superior. The food portions are huge for the price. We always walk away with a to go box. The salsa is so good paired with hot fresh chips. Food comes quickly even when it's a packed house. This restaurant is on the 2nd floor in the Fitgers building. Try them out, bring your appetite and enjoy a Margarita or sweet tea while they prepare your flavorful meal. read more

This is a great restaurant. People's attitude shows on the treatment of their servers. Servers don't need to take rudeness from anyone. For over 3yrs I've been consistent and have witness how the gust treat the servers. If you decide to enjoy what Mexico Lindo has to offer, I only ask that you be polite. The servers are people, think about your sister, brother, mother serving you. BE POLITE. They have an amazing view, always new servers because the owner gives opportunities others won't. If you only knew who cleans before the establishment opens, you'd have more respect, more patients, more kindness. Mexico Lindo, keep being LINDO read more

The view is the winner at this place. The food was good and reasonably priced. We had the carne asada. It was fatty because it's a ribeye, but good flavor. The chips were a little stale and the salsa had no spice. The house Margarita $6.50 was tasty, but didn't seem like there was any tequila in it. We had a table outside and enjoyed the beautiful view. The service was great! They have an indoor bar. The garbage Parking is validated. read more

I was very hesitant to come here because it was super busy and there was a massive line that was not being handled the best. I am very glad we waited because our server (Mateo) was absolutely phenomenal. He was taking care of half the restaurant and doing a phenomenal job! The food was the typical Mexican food but it is definitely the go to place for margaritas! It was very packed and there wasn't much room but I would still probably go back. read more

Not impressed! Sunday at noon, understaffed, poor service, dirty table and windows, stale chips! Had to wait for water refill which never came! Asked for no rice on my burrito, came with no beans and tons of RICE! I would have sent it back but it took 15 min just to get the order in. I will say wife's was good but it was a quesadilla with chicken. Spiced very well, which is the only reason I'm giving 2 stars and not 1! I had to go to the bar to pay as I got tired of waiting for the bartender to bring the check! All in all a waste of time and money! Would been better to go to Taco Bell! Get a grip Mexico Lindo! Locals talk and when the tourists season is over you may be over as well! read more

Very good overall and prices are good for how much you get. Free chips and salsa are good. The Texas margaritas are a favorite. Only go a few times a year but always very good read more

The chips were stale and the quesadilla had about one sprinkle of cheese in it and was mostly a crunchy tortilla. However, the lemon chicken was actually very good. It's a pretty standard Mexican restaurant, nothing special though. We sat on the patio which had a nice view of Lake Superior and Canal Park. I would recommend trying for outdoor seating if you visit this restaurant. read more

Poorest customer service ever!! We were walked to our table that wasn't cleaned, after we stood there waiting on hostess to clean the table we then waited 15 minutes without any service. read more

Food was outstanding. Restaurant came highly recommended by a coworker. Will be back next time in Duluth!

Alright, I saw that my favourite Mexican restaurant in Duluth had less stars than it deserved, and I had to help right that wrong. First, as an Arizona native, I have no qualms with the food. Rise and beans are great (I'm a simple soul), the chips are crisp, and the salsa is fresh. The patio view of Lake Superior is gorgeous (bring sunglasses), and Pidgie is normally around if I need help finishing a chip. (Not a suggested practice though... pigeons shouldn't have a lot of salt...) Anyway, generally speaking, Mexico Lindo is a great place. The fellow who helped us last time was quite amiable, too. So, yes, five stars from me. read more

3.5 - Meh. Chips didnt taste fresh, salsa was good. Server was great and attentive. Seemed to have good gluten free knowledge. Ask for a seat outside, looking over the water. I didn't realize we were that close to the water and that would probably be the biggest appeal to going here. Pretty basic Mexican food. Nothing was super good, nothing was terrible. Felt a little dark in ambience which always makes me feel a little nervous about cleanliness. Just me? read more

Service was 5 stars and the location is absolutely beautiful with views of Lake Superior. The food was more like 3 stars. My steak burrito came with dried out and overdone meat but it was swimming in queso so that helped. I would try it again if I was in the area, especially because we came in far after lunch and before dinner so timing might have had something to do with it. read more

I've been coming to Mexico Lindo for over a decade. 2018-2021 the food went very downhill, as did the service! I was bummed because it was a staple restaurant for us! I met a friend there tonight and wow, some of the best food I've had there in years and the service was perfect! Nate was our server and did an exceptional job! One of Duluth's greatest servers- so nice!! Menus were new, the deck tables and chairs as was the deck flooring! Can't wait to spend more time on the deck there this summer! read more

This place is in the Fitgers Mall along Lake Superior and the Duluth Lakewalk. We sat on the balcony which we we t up to from the Lakewalk and then went into the hostess stand to get seated. This location was famous for the old Chi-Chi's restaurant. This place isn't as good but the views and atmosphere is nice. It is an old brick/stone building right on the lake. We had a huge Margarita and enjoyed the views. read more

took 30 min to get the drinks we had ordered, I had just gotten a water, then I got harassed by the waitress about taking a sip of the alcoholic beverage the other person i was with ordered, I never even took a sip of it! She went absolutely ballistic like she was on meth, proceeded to make me take out my ID even though I did not order anything with alcohol in it. HARASSED the fuck out of me the entire rest of the time we were there, she went as far as to slam her hand on the table next to me and get up in my face and say "this is just the Minnesota liquor laws!!!" anyways that girl was fucking insane and I will not be returning. read more

If I could give 0 stars I would. worst service I have ever received. upon arrival, we were told to scan a virtual menu and not given another option. We were glared at while scanning the QR code. once seated, we continued to receive glares from the staff and felt very uncomfortable. the server never even offered us water. he never even asked us if we wanted to get any food. after we sat there for a while pondering whether or not to stay, we noticed nearly every staff member going out of their way to glance at us and give us rude stares. everyone in my group has been a server at one point in our life and have never been that disappointed or treated so rudely before. too bad that this was a place i frequently visited but will no longer be. our servers name was elliot. read more

My wife and I stopped here for some dinner. The restaurant is in a really cool spot with high ceilings and dramatic entrance. We waited for the hostess to seat us but we waited about ten minutes before she came over to seat us. The restaurant had maybe 3 tables sat at this point and it was 7pm. When we got to the table the server was on the spot. He brought some chips and salsa and asked for our drink order. The chips were good and I like the fact they are unsalted and you can season them how you want. The salsa tasted fresh made and wasn't very spicy. We ordered the entree and I choose the tamales. I was very underwhelmed and I think they may have been frozen and taken out and thrown in the fryer or something. The texture was right for me. They came with like a meaty sauce on top which I wasn't thrilled about. It was on the salty side. This was not our first visit here and in the summer they have outdoor patio seating facing the water that I is breathtaking. They have a full bar and some of the best mixed drinks in town. read more

Sigh. I should have listened to my Yelpers. Only reason I'm even giving 2 stars is THAT View. We were here in July and sat on the deck. All 4 of us were starving so we went here because it was convenient, even though 2 in our party said the food was not very good. The food was actually quite bad. All of our food. I mean, how can you screw up Mexican food this bad? Even the chips tasted like they came out of a bag that was opened last month. Definitely avoid the queso! And the service was pretty awful too... weird and unpredictable. I mean they weren't rude, but they really, really obviously did not care. At all. And not good at their jobs... I mean everyone knows if you want a bigger tip, don't snooze on serving the drinks. We were dry for over half our meal. I almost got up and ordered another drink from the bar, but we all decided to cut our losses and go somewhere else instead. Fitgers needs to get a better restaurant in this beautiful spot. Go here for the view, but DO NOT eat the food, and good luck if you want more than one drink. read more

I have been here a few times and am a huge fan of Mexican food, but unless something changes, I will be frequenting the other Mexican restaurants in the area. On our last visit here, we were pleasantly surprised that we were able to get a spot on the patio outside that provides absolutely wonderful views of Lake Superior. We happily started eating our chips and salsa and put in an order for a pitcher of margaritas. The chips were a little stale, but whatever, right? Then, after waiting 15 minutes and still no drinks, it started to rain a bit. This was causing some confusion on the patio as some people wanted to move to tables inside and the waitstaff was working to accommodate. Then, the rain picked up and we were all asked to move inside. Our server brought us to a booth inside and everything seemed good. Then, 10 minutes later and still no drinks, he comes back to us and asks us for a reminder on what we ordered to drink. He hasn't even placed the order that we made to him 30 minutes ago! We reminded him that it was a pitcher of margaritas and he disappeared. He then came back with two waters and asked if we wanted any food. We reminded him again about the margaritas and ordered a chicken quesadilla. Some time later, another food runner brought us a chicken quesadilla that was not cut and was soggy. I had to bust out the fork and knife and cut the quesadilla into slices myself. I had never seen that before. By the way, still no margaritas. Finally, the margaritas showed up from our server. We happily poured a glass each and took a drink....wow, I had no idea it was possible to screw up a margarita that bad. It tasted as if the pitcher still had soapy dishwater in it when the margaritas were made. By that time we had seen other groups of people get seated and leave because they didn't receive any service. When I was finally able to waive down the waiter I told him about the terrible margaritas and asked for our bill, without the margaritas. To his credit he obliged and we paid our bill and got out of there. Not sure we'll be back anytime soon. Make me long for the days of Chi-Chis in that space, to be honest! read more
