    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.

    Friday night!

    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.)

    Great tasty food, PLEASANT FRIENDLY STAFF, clean all around. Authentic and the real deal!

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

    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!

    Please, don't take my criticisms as harsh. Every business should welcome edification as they only…read moreserve to better the establishment. That being said, these are my observations: I just read someone's review and I quote "..The food has been phenomenal.." I beg to differ. I qualify myself for this review by mentioning I am a graduate of the Colorado Chefs De Cuisine (an Apprentice Culinarian-Certified Cook) but now a professional cook with 20 years creating in kitchens around Denver. I owned a restaurant for 7 years and I grew up in my grandparents kitchen learning to make red and green chili among other food items so from Rellenos to beans to tortillas to butchering and preparing every kind of meat in ovens,on the stove top and in pits..all authentic New Mexican cuisine so.. I have been there and have done that...I have issues with Mexican Restaurants. Almost every single restaurant uses a pre-made green chili that is lifeless and horrible so I asked the very serious waiter where they get their green chili from and he sternly stated "we make our own here.." But besides the fact the waiter walked around life as serious as a WIldebeest, I broke my mandatory rule: If there aren't any Mexicans in there then leave, the place is no good but we were very hungry...the store was filled with older gringos who have no idea what Mexican food tastes like. I hated everything about the food and the personality of the staff was just ok. One thing that disturbed me was the green chili the waiter beamed about. It looked like beef gravy and the taste was very similar...in fact, if it hadn't been borderline over salty it would've not had much taste...I hope the owner of this establishment can take my words in stride and contemplate an upgrade..
