    Seafood Chimichanga
    Nathan M.

    Mexico Lindo was a great Mexican restaurant. My family and I stopped by for lunch after horseback riding. It is attached to a minimart / gas station which dropped my expectations, but once inside I was very impressed. The decor was classic for a Mexican restaurant. They brought out a chips, salsa, and some bean dip which was very good. My daughter and I ordered margaritas, and spicy jalapeno and a top shelf frozen. Both were quite good. We also ordered the cheese queso to go with the chips. After over indulging in the chips our orders of chilaquiles, pork carnitas, and a seafood chimichanga. The food was also very very good and well seasoned. The wait staff was very attentive on getting our drinks, bringing chips, and taking our orders and were very nice in general. I would absolutely drop by for lunch or dinner again.

    So went to this Mexican lindo restaurant and I'm not a big fan of Mexican food but I went there for lunch with family and it was fantastic I had a steak fajitas. Great service excellent place to eat I give it a 9 out a 10

    Pasole - truly incredible
    Levi R.

    Wow truly incredible and so authentic like eating at your abuelas . . Sylvia (chef) and Gisele were so sweet. Take a chance to speak with them if you can the food is made with love. You don't get just chips and salsa when you come in you get a free serving of frijoles that is too die for with the chips and salsa. I've eaten here a couple times and always love the food. This time in particular I had the pasole and it was just too damn good. . . I had to leave a review. It was so well deserved. Give them a shot I know you will not be disappointed.

    The definition of a delicious mom & pop shop! Don't let this restaurant being attached to a gas station fool you (it almost got me) because this is some of the most delicious & authentic mexican food you'll have in Denver! I went with a group of 8 friends on NYE for dinner & didn't have to wait at all! Being from California, I've eaten at plenty of authentic mexican food restaurants and this had some of the best guacamole i've ever had! I wasn't a huge fan of the Mole sauce on my enchiladas, but it was still pretty tasty! Highly recommend getting some queso as an appetizer & using left overs on top of your dish! The portions sizes are large! You will leave very full & satisfied and have left over for the next day!

    Jalepeno Margarita!

    Margarita was meh.

    Popular spot. Glad we got there early for lunch. (11:30am) It got crowded right after. Friendly service. Looks like they're expanding maybe. Construction happening while we were there Thanksgiving week.

    This is everything it should be for a family run mexican joint at a gas station. All the negatives quickly turn to positives. Giselle works her tail off here. Hostess, waitress bartender...whatever needs to be done. This place is busy everytime we go here. Sit in a booth it's part of the experience when someone behind you sits in theirs....quite the ride. Don't be afraid of the prices. The portions are huge. A lot of people share one entree....think round turkey platter for a plate.

    This place is the best. Brought the whole family. Ensalata with Shrimp, Enchiladas, mole, chili relleno, chimichanga, and for you Regular Show fans - get the Mexican Shrimp cocktail (aka The Mississippi Queen) it is so good!

    I cannot tell you how many times we have flown by Mexico Lindo on 285 and said, "We should stop sometime but let's get closer to home to eat." I now say, "Why, did we not stop sooner." We arrived close to 2:00 and ordered from the lunch menu which included Chicken Mole (I ordered it). The husband ordered a pork burrito with red and green chili. I was pleasantly surprised when they brought out chips and salsa along with a small platter of bean/beef/queso dip. It is the small things that earn stars from me. Our meal arrived quickly by a smiling waitress, and it looked delicious. My mole was very good and served with rice and beans and handmade tortillas. The tortillias were a bit thick but nicely held together as a taco and the husband was pleased as well. I brought home leftovers for my dinner and the mole was even better. Mexico Lindo is easy on and off 285 if you are heading into Denver. It is next to a gas station but cute on the inside (Mexican carved wood furniture in bright colors.)

    Best Mole in Colorado. I've been looking for 7 years and finally found it on the way home from the mountains! So good. Everything they served was truly amazing. Don't make the mistake of passing this place just because it's attached to a gas station. Mole Chicken Enchiladas. Service was as friendly as anyplace ever. We felt like we were on a trip to mexico. Perfect ambiance.

    I agree with the reviews. This restaurant is in an unusual location, but the food and margaritas were delicious.

    Not bad, but also very standard. I often hear people praise Moose Hill Cantina. While I cannot say…read morethe food is bad, I can say it is very average. This restaurant falls into the standard Denver Mexican restaurant. Good food, but there are at least 100 restaurants in town that have the same menu, the same (not spicy in the least) green chili. I am a Denver native and love my green chili and while not bad, there is nothing special or different about the chili here compared to 100 other places. Having said that, the food was good. The chips and salsa use the old corn chips similar to Taco House that I enjoyed and the tray with chips and a few smaller salsas was a nice touch. As I said before, the green chili had zero spice and was very standard for the front range but not bad. The service was good. The waiter was friendly and the order came out reasonably quickly. The decor is nice. I enjoyed sitting on the patio. I for one am a fan of Colfax so I enjoyed the people watching while I ate. The last time I ate at Moose Hill was probably 20 years ago. I came back and it was just as I remembered it. Standard Denver style Mexican food, and there is nothing wrong with that.

    Amazing food and a perfect spot for the whole family! The steak and pork are easily the best I've…read moreever had at any Mexican restaurant--the flavors are incredible. You also have to try the margarita soft serve. It is a total game-changer. If you want a bit more of a kick, you can always ask for an extra shot to top it off! If you aren't in the mood for a margarita, do yourself a favor and ask for the "moose milk"--you can thank me later. The staff is incredibly friendly and welcoming; they truly make you feel right at home. I also loved the ambiance--it's super cozy and has that great mountain-town vibe. Plus, if the weather is nice, their patio is a must; it's the perfect setup to relax and enjoy the meal. Even though it's a bit of a trek, it is absolutely worth the drive from Castle Rock. Make sure to check this place out!
