From the moment I bit into the food, I could tell something wasn't right. The chicken had both the smell and taste of fish, which makes me think they don't bother to change out their grease. Absolutely unacceptable. To make matters worse, the place has a strict "no refunds whatsoever" policy, which tells me they already know customers won't be happy. When I walked in, the restaurant was practically empty -- now I understand why. I ordered carne asada fries, and they were a complete disappointment. No beans (which are supposed to come with it), the fries tasted old and hard, and the carne asada itself was fatty and chewy. For a meal that cost me $73, I left feeling completely ripped off. As a 40-year-old woman who has eaten at plenty of Mexican restaurants over the years, I can confidently say this place is not worth the money, the time, or the disappointment. Save yourself the frustration and go somewhere else.

The mountain sat there, green…read moreand dry, collecting nothing, and the little village at its base did what mountain towns do in snowless years: it waited. The shops stayed open. The Raccoon Saloon poured drinks. The hikers came instead of the skiers, which is a different energy entirely -- quieter, soberer, less likely to require a boot dryer. You adjust. And you eat at Mexico Lindo, because Mexico Lindo is the kind of restaurant that every small California mountain town has, or should have, or once had before someone replaced it with a gastropub. You know this place. You've been eating at this place your entire life, in different buildings under different names in every town from Big Bear to Idyllwild to Tehachapi. The booths are deep. The menu is laminated and enormous -- four pages, maybe five, covering every permutation of tortilla, protein, cheese, and sauce that the Mexican-American restaurant tradition has produced over the past sixty years. Combo plates with rice and beans. Enchiladas. Burritos. Fajitas that arrive on a sizzling cast iron plate with the requisite theatrics of smoke and noise. A molcajete. A seafood section that the name promises and the menu delivers. A margarita list long enough to suggest that someone here takes tequila seriously, or at least takes the selling of it seriously, which for your purposes amounts to the same thing. This is not the Mexican food that gets written about. Nobody is driving up the 2 from La Cañada to evaluate the mole or compare the tortillas to what you'd find in Oaxaca or even Boyle Heights. That is not the assignment. The assignment, when you are in Wrightwood on a warm weekend that should have been cold, with hiking dust on your boots and nowhere to be, is to sit in a booth and eat a combo plate and drink a margarita and feel the particular comfort of food that isn't trying to impress you. Mexico Lindo is not trying to impress you. It is trying to feed you, which is a different and in some ways more generous ambition. The service is warm and unhurried. The portions are large. They brought a sombrero out for the birthday girl in our group, which is the kind of thing that would be corny if it weren't so obviously sincere, and sincerity is hard to fake when you're placing a giant hat on a stranger's head and getting the whole restaurant to sing. They have Mexican candy shots, which you should order because you are in a mountain town and the rules are different here. Every small town in California needs a Mexico Lindo. Most of them have one. This one is good at being what it is, and what it is -- comforting, familiar, unpretentious, the kind of place that's been copy-and-pasted across the state for decades with minor variations -- is enough. In a winter without snow, in a ski town running on hiking and hope, you could do a lot worse than a booth, a plate, and a margarita the size of your head.

Seafood was pretty good- Yum!

The oatmeal portion was large for a "cup." The bowl size portion, even larger, of course, would be good by itself for breakfast. The oatmeal was nicely textured, smooth, and creamy. Service was exemplary and friendly. The dining room is comfortable. This place will definitely go on rotation as a breakfast choice. Parking is plentiful in their lot.
