Mexico Lindo - Cheers Big Ears - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

Overall this place was just ok. The food wasn't bad, but definitely not the best Mexican food around. The salsa was probably the highlight of the meal -- everything else was pretty meh. Service was alright, though considering it wasn't busy, our server seemed pretty stressed the whole time. It also felt overpriced for what you got. Personally, I wouldn't go back since there are definitely better Mexican spots in the area. read more

First time hitting up Mexico Lindo on Evergreen for their Taco Tuesday vibes--turns out it was the last one of the season, and Happy Hour was in full swing (3:30-6:30pm). The place was buzzing with locals, which made for a lively atmosphere, but parking in the evening was not easy. Dived into the happy hour menu: Nachos piled high with melty cheese, fresh toppings, and just the right kick (4/5)--crispy chips held up without getting soggy. Taco trio was a standout (5/5): asada and al pastor done right, juicy and flavorful with those corn tortillas that don't fall apart. Quesadilla was gooey perfection, stuffed generously (4/5). Mini chimi brought the crunch with tender beef inside, a fun bite-sized twist (4/5). On the drinks: Michelada negro hit different--spicy, tangy, with that dark beer depth for a bold sip (4/5). Margaritas were classic and refreshing, not too sweet, perfect for washing it all down (4/5). Service was friendly and accommodating with booth seats for newborn seating (high chair available for toddlers), and the shaded patio would've been ideal if it wasn't too cold. TVs for sports. Bar area seating available. Solid 4 stars--great value on specials, but plan ahead for parking. read more

We had a company party here and understanding we are a large party service would be slower, but it felt really staggered at times. However food and drinks were great. I'd probably come back with a smaller party and hope service will be better. The star for me was the mango ceviche. Super refreshing and flavorful. read more

Super disappointing experience. We came here on a Saturday night, I get that we were a bit towards the later end & after the Saturday evening rush. The thing is, we had to go look for a server & if you're gonna serve crappy food & make the bartender serve us instead, do us a favor & just tell us you guys are closed for the night. It's a disservice to us as customers for you guys to serve shitty food & then charge us full price & have to look for a waiter to serve us food. Our server was great & we don't blame him for the quality of the food, if anything he was the saving grace of our night. However, it would have been nice if they comp'd at least 1/2 off for the bad experience. read more

I only really enjoyed their drinks. Location: Because they are located on top of a hill, your phone connection will be very spotty. They do offer free WIFI to compensate that, you just have to ask one of the workers for the password. The restaurant has both indoor and outdoor seating. Food: The food here is not that great. It has little to no flavor. Someone in my party got the steak and asked for medium rare and when they got it, the steak was well done. I got the steak fajita which did not really have any seasoning on it. The chips and salsa was pretty standard, the salsa did have a small kick to it. Drinks: Their drinks here are pretty good. They have different types of frozen margaritas which all tasted great! Service: The service here was okay. I did come with a large party, but they did mess up a couple of our orders. Some of our food came out cold while others came out hot. The serving sizes were also inconsistent. Overall, my experience could have been better. read more

We remembered how this restaurant use to be very good, so we decided to try it. Everything started out great, but we were disappointed when 2 meals were served, yet the third person didn't get their meal. When we brought it to the server's attention, he blamed the cooks. The food was disgusting, not authentic at all and the service slow and we felt neglected. Mexico Lindo is not what it used to be. read more

I've heard so many amazing things about this restaurant and I was so excited to try it out! Unfortunately it definitely fell very short of these expectations for several different reasons... First and foremost, although this is a "Mexican restaurant" the food is clearly not authentic Mexican food sadly... (This is coming from an honest Latina, so you know I'm not lying! lol.) We started with chips and salsa, which was very mild/light, yet moderately tasty! For entrees I ordered the bacon wrapped shrimp plate. Although it definitely photographs beautifully and looks delicious.. it was severely lacking in flavor and did not have seasoning or any type of flare to it at all. :( The only thing that gave my dish flavor was the bacon that was wrapped around the shrimp sadly. I didn't even finish the rice because it honestly tasted a bit odd.. it looked like it they had added salsa verde on it but tasted very bland still. :( My friend ordered the steak fajitas and said that it was okay.. but lacking in flavor and the meat was very tough and not easy to chew. Essentially it was overly cooked. He said it wasn't awful but it also wasn't great either if that makes sense. Although our waitress was very nice, she forgot to come back and take our order for a solid 15 to 20 minutes while they were cleaning up other parts of the restaurant. I would understand if it was busy but we were one of the last tables there and it was clear that it was not a "priority" to help us. Another problem we had was my friend ran out of water while eating chips and salsa and started coughing/chocking with no way to relieve it because literally no one was there to refill our water.. Couldn't you just leave the water vase on the table? That would make more sense if the staff is preoccupied. I find it problematic that we had to ask for refills even though it was very slow in the restaurant that night.. On a positive note I will say the restaurant itself is decorated beautifully and it has a lot of interesting decor that really adds character to the place. I will also say they have pretty generous portions as well. But sadly... The food is clearly overly Americanized.. I'm guessing because it's in the Evergreen Hills? That they don't deliver on authentic Mexican cuisine seasoning, spice, nor taste AT ALL. lol. Honestly I am pretty disappointed after hearing all the amazing things.. I wish I could've liked this place more but I will definitely stick to my authentic Mexican food restaurants instead. read more

Sunday lunch was quiet and we got seated without having a reservation. We were served water , chips and salsa right away. The food is delicious and portions were sufficient. I've had similar food for similar prices. Their cocktails margarita was just one so next time I'll try a different cocktail. We had Mole in the side and that was so good with all of our dishes. The Mango shrimp cocktail was fresh. I liked my chicken enchilada with the rice and refried beans. The Chimichanga Burrito was plentiful but a little dry -it would have been better with more fat. The fish taco plate was ok and the steak quesadilla was good. Get the Mole on the side because it's so good to dip your chips in it out some over your dish ! They have Karaoke on Thursdays. read more

This place has a nice atmosphere. They have tasty strong adult beverages. I had the Cadillac margarita. Tasty and hot salsa. (some places have mild but here it's boarder-line too hot) They have plenty of staff so the service is generally pretty good. Very attentive when you need something. Prices seemed fair for having dined in the Beverly Hills of San Jose. Food I ordered the Tierra y Mar (steak and shrimp fajitas). I never had or even heard of soggy/soupy fajitas before. I ate most of my food because I was hungry but this was not was I was expecting. I will probably never order this here again. 2 out of 5 stars. I know everyone makes fajitas their own way but this didn't even look appetizing. Most of the other dinners looked good though that I saw throughout the dining area. read more

The food was amazing! Luckily I got a receipt. Since we came in as a party of 7 and we were celebrating my Mother In Laws 90th birthday, I paid and left. Looking over my receipt and credit card statement, I noticed our server Rolando A doubled his tip!!! I called and talked to a manager, who apologized and promptly looked into it and reversed the extra tip. Always check your math! read more

I made reservations at Mexico Lindo to celebrate my daughter's high school graduation. The reservation was for a party of 17 people and we got the front patio. I was a little hesitant to book at this restaurant for a big party because the ratings on Yelp is weak to begin with. However, I have been to Mexico Lindo several times in the past but only for happy hour and with 2-4 people. My previous experience during happy hour was pleasant. After being seated, we were given chips with salsa, plates with utensils and menus only. No water was given. We sat there for 30 minutes and was completely ignored. I asked a female server who was helping another table to see who our server was. Our server was someone name Juan. After waiting for another 15 minutes, Juan never showed up. But that female server said she will help us instead. After taking all of our food orders, the food and appetizers all came out at different random times. In the end, 3 of our guests did not even get their dinner when everyone else was finished with their meals. The three guests who did not get their dinner had to leave without eating because they drove from Roseville and had to drive home because it was late. We also brought two bottles of wine ($15 corkage fee per bottle) and asked for 6 glasses which were never brought out for us. If it weren't for our server and the manager on duty who gave us a discount on our bill, this restaurant would get ZERO stars. And 2 stars is pretty generous. Even though we got a discount for our meal, the whole experience was ruin for my daughter and the whole party. I do not think anyone from our party will return. Food here is decent. Not good or very authentic. Just decent. Happy hour is great here. I would only recommend coming here for happy hour and nothing else. I highly do not recommend booking your party or dining here with a big group of people. Clearly they are very disorganized and inexperienced with handling large groups. read more

OK, I really like this place. I like the environment. The wait staff were fantastic. The bar is really cool. I like everything about it. I am a big fan of chili rellenos and it seems like the classic chili relleno with red sauce is not made very frequently in upscale Mexican restaurants. My pet peeve is." That's the Weee Make it". I'm not a hater so I'm giving this place a five star. It would be nice if someone would read this and maybe improve on the chili Relleno also, the chips were stale but good. This photo is from the yelp food gallery. Mine did not look like this! read more

I've driven past Mexico Lindo many times, and we finally tried it for takeout. Food was just okay. I'd consider dining in to see if it's any better but not anytime soon. ALAMBRE: 3.75/5 ($15.50) + Basically meat lovers in a taco! The asada, bacon, and chorizo were topped with melted cheese + Pretty good, but honestly a little overpowering in flavor. Can easily be fixed with lime and fresh salsa + The tortillas were awful though. Overcooked and could barely bite into it, so I had to toss it out. Would've been 4 stars otherwise --- 2 COMBO DINNER PLATE --- ($23.50) CHILE ROJO ENCHILADA: 3.75/5 + Chicken was pretty good but the flavor wasn't there + The chile rojo also was a little lackluster + The Mexican rice as a side was solid! Super tasty with the alambre actually FLAUTA: 3.5/5 + Decent chicken flauta! I liked the crunchy exterior but was nothing particularly special + Avocado was very smooth though weird how it was served to us so brown (probably oxidized, even though we took it home immediately) read more

Went there to eat today for my birthday they couldn't accommodate me sitting outside.

Last time I go to this place. And they're very rude about it! read more

A while back, attended a fun event with friends held at Mexico Lindo, hosted by Ardbeg and Glenmorangie. Enjoyed a tasting tour served with paired dishes. Highlights were the French Onion Soup, Roasted Turkey with Mole and Burrata Salad. Also advertised to have a Tomahawk but only received a few slices from the tomahawk (very disappointing). Had a tented area with heaters which was cozy and intimate. Staff was quick to refill our drinks with the handcrafted cocktails and pours of whiskey. Overall, a bit pricey but was a good time! read more

I used to come here when they first opened many years ago I loved the area and how close by it is but over the years, every time I try to give it a chance I'm disappointed. We dropped by last weekend, our server only checked on us to take our order, drop off our food and then we flagged him to get our check. It was not busy. I ordered nachos, the beans didn't have any flavor, nothing really did. I'm sorry, I really want to like this place, I just wish I had a better experience. read more

Please don't expect reasonable customer service here. It's really fallen downhill and it took 25+ minutes to even get acknowledged on a weekday ,so we walked out and over to Creekside Eatery. We received services immediately. The Creek Eatery was just as busy but served us immediately & within five minutes. Kim & Mari acknowledged us & checked in on us regularly. I'd advise you to go next-door to the Creek Eatery for better customer service & the margaritas were served faster, so now I know why do not come here as often. read more

I visited Mexico Lindo for dinner and drinks with friends on a Sunday night. Cute ambiance with outdoor seating in the front and the back. I liked the variety of Margaritas and tried El Cucuy and El Chupacabra. They were pretty good. My friends favorite is the Spicy Pineapple Margarita. I ordered Mar y Tierra fajitas and though they were just ok. The first set of corn tortillas they brought me in the foil were all broken so I had to get another pack of tortillas. Rice and beans were bland to me. Our server was nice, but the 3 stars is mostly due to the fact we waited 1 1/2 hrs for our food. My friends and I met at 6pm for dinner and I got there exactly at 6pm. Our food came out at 7:28pm. I specifically checked my phone for the time when it came. It should really be 1 star because the food wasn't anything special and 1 1/2 hrs is too long to wait. However, I will say our server was kind, apologetic, and seemed genuine. It wasn't super busy overall, but I did notice she was helping all the tables AND working the bar. Something was also happening with the kitchen. Our server was having a seemingly heated discussion with them and right after came over and explained it was going to take more time for our order. Due to the great service and attention given to our table, I would try Mexico Lindo again maybe for a happy hour. read more

EXTORTION on top of horrible customer service! We have been a customer of this place for years and it continues to go down hill. We called friday before Mother's Day to place an order for a dozen cheese enchiladas. They said that they would be $30 per dozen. We tried to order them right then and were told to call on Mother's Day. We called on Mother's Day was told that they weren't taking any orders for that day. When we said we were informed that we needed to call the day of... the cost was now $40. When we asked why the change in the price the guy whom said he was the "Manager" said that was the price. Okay so you are raising the price to EXTORT your customers on a holiday. When we arrived to pick them up the "Manager" and never acknowledged that we were there. Maybe an to apologize or explain himself. Also they weren't ready as they should have been. This is the last straw with this place. No more! You just lost BIG BUSINESS! We have used this location for baby showers, birthdays, and special events. read more

This restaurant is always a disappointment. We live in the Silver Creek area, and this restaurant is close to the house. Sadly, I avoid eating here despite the convenience. The Mexican food is far from authentic and overpriced as well. Service is abysmal. It's honestly not worth the price. Go somewhere better. There's no lack of proper Mexican food on the east side of San Jose. This place has been a joke for a long time. read more

We ordered for pickup and I never got a confirmation, so we decided to go to the restaurant to confirm.

Too bad it's not automated. Enchilada was pretty good. I'd go back and try more of the menu. So far so good. read more

Mexico Lindo - Chicken Mole - Mexican Near Me - San Jose, California

I really wanted to like Mexico Lindo. From the outside, it looks like a hidden gem cozy, colorful, and seemingly authentic. But once we sat down and looked over the menu, the illusion quickly faded. My mom ordered the shrimp tacos, expecting something flavorful and freshly made. What she got was the complete opposite: plain, unseasoned shrimp that looked and tasted exactly like the frozen kind you can get at Walmart just heated up and tossed onto a basic flour tortilla. No seasoning, no garnish, nothing. It honestly felt like something you'd microwave at home when you're too tired to cook except here, it came with a restaurant price tag. Super disappointed. For a place trying to pass as authentic Mexican food, this missed the mark by a mile. Definitely not worth the price or the hype. read more

2.5 stars.... Mid- but has potential. Service was so incredibly slow here. It wasn't worth the drive up the hill. Has potential but I just couldn't get over the fact that I waited almost an hour for their mini chimichangas. It was very surprising because we were one of two groups there. We were only halfway through appetizers when we decided not to order the entrees and try somewhere else. The guacamole was flavorless and the mini chimis tasted like they were left in the freezer for months. The chips and salsa were yummy but the salsa had huge chunks of onions and it just threw the dish off. I LOVE onions, I just wish they took a little more time to dice them up nicer. Might come back but only for drinks. read more
