Not sure what happened here but the food has changed and so have the drinks. This last visit the food was so bland, there was no spice or flavor in anything, how is that possible this is mexican food!? Their new complimentary salsa and bean dip literally tastes like nothing, its completely changed. The food also was very greasy, and the knife skills are seriously lacking, everything was cut in huge chunks and hard to eat with just a fork (peppers, onions, etc.). The drinks were weak. We used to order one and both have a minor buzz, this time nothing, they tasted watery. Not sure we will be back anytime soon. Maybe in a year or so we'll give it another shot. read more

This place really embodies spaces that make Appleton feel like a home away from home. Our server was incredibly attentive and, most importantly, kind. She remembered details about our first round of drinks that really made me and my friends feel seen. Viva Mexico. read more

I love Lindo. No better deal than taco Tuesday! Great service, great food, great prices! There are several great Mexican restaurants in Appleton, don't miss this one! read more

ambience , typical.. loud mariachi music and tv screens playing soccer etc Food ? mexican tacos were great first time Hardshell were like store bought next time Service is great to dismissive and sometimes disorientating based on language barrier and confusing menu. The person i was with loves the place, but he ain't mexican and orders like classic non ethnic . thus place is ok. Normally priced. read more

We really wanted to like it. The bar area was cute. It was a slow Saturday afternoon, so the service could have been better for beer. The food came out nicely timed and looked good. There was a lot of food, if you like rice. The chimichanga and burrito were filled with orange rice. I could count the piece of chicken from the chimi. One side of the burrito had steak. Either increase the price and provide protein or reduce the size and provide protein. Filling with rice is not going to cut it and we won't be back. Plus, the restrooms could use work. read more

i really wanted to like this place but i can't. the servers were drunk and not attentive because they were too focused on taking shots with customers at the bar. the waitress came over one time to take our food order and one time to bring our food but other than that she was too busy taking shots and flirting with customers at the bar. my boyfriend and i sat with our food after we were visibly done for 20 minutes before we ended up having to go up to pay and get our bill and she asked if i wanted a box which i said yes too, and she took my plate instead of giving me a box. on top of this, we ordered a torta to go and it took over thirty minutes to get. please do not come here if you're hoping for efficiency and attentive wait staff read more

The corn tortillas are absolutely perfect. Taco Tuesday deals! Service is fantastic and food is delicious!

Friday night at 6:15pm, no crowds, immediate seating. This place offers some interesting traditional dishes that you don't always get at other Mexican places. I started with a mangonada drink which is made with mango, lime, some other flavors and a stick of Tirolo straw (tamarind lollipops). If you like a drink mixed with sweet & sour, and chili spices, then this is the one that you don't want to miss. I always seek out for either a fried tilapia or menudo (beef tripe) soup when I try a new Mexican restaurant to test out their "authenticity". They had both on the menu and I chose the soup. The soup was loaded with tripe but not as spicy as I have tasted elsewhere, which actually was what I like. Adding cilantro, chopped onions and lime to the soup made this dish a perfect choice for a chilly night! The restaurant takes up three spots at the location. The restaurant is in the middle, to the left is a bar and to the right is a mini mart. Services were great and price was very reasonable. I am very please that there is another nice restaurant within the walking distance! read more

Service was great. Our waitress was attentive and quick. Food quality was poor, we have been here many times. This time was bad, fruit flies everywhere, mold all over bathroom floor. Food was more tortilla than meat. Rice and and beans filled the plate more than the entree. Won't be going back.​ Flavor was not there for any of the apps or entrees. read more

this place is a dump. had a tarp covering the entrance to the hallway where bathroom is located. food wasn't good either

It's a terrible thing when your burrito comes out with a bunch of cheese slapped on top. I moved from California to Wisconsin and I've been looking for a good Mexican place to fill my need of tacos and burritos. This place was recommended by my fiancé's coworker. We stopped by for lunch and ordered al pastor burritos. The burritos were huge monstrosities completely covered in shredded cheese. That was the one and only flag I needed to know this wasn't our next Mexican eatery. The al pastor was tough and chewy and covered in a gritty red marinade. My burrito was so packed with cheese I had rice-bean-cheese coagulated on one half of my burrito. The red and green sauce were ok on the spice level but really lacked in flavor. The whole thing was bland and cheesy. Overall, I'm not impressed and I won't be coming back. read more

This is the best authentic Mexican food in the Fox Valley area by far! The drinks are amazing and service is out of this world! We got there at 8:55pm or closing,they served us so fast and they did not deny us. The food was superb.... Great people. I definitely recommend this place! read more

Lindo Mexican Restaurant & Super Market I used to love this restaurant, the food, the service was always great! My father, myself n my son went to eat tonight and it was horrible from the moment we walked through the door..... Waited 25 min for a table to be cleaned, a group of 6 people came in 15 min after us and they got their drinks n food first.... My father ordered menudo which was not good at all he didn't even want it but ate some cuz he was hungry, my son ordered a burrito and toward the middle of it he but was chewing and noticed a huge piece of something hard, went to the bathroom n threw up, my food was good I ordered tacos and was asked if I wanted the taco Tuesday tacos which are mini tacos and I told the waiter no I wanted the regular tacos he said ok... my tacos came back in the mini form waited for my rice n beans which never came so I went and asked 15 min later then I got them.... I ordered a pina colada margarita and asked for the jumbo one n he served me a mini looking margarita and I was told he couldn't make in that size but at first it was ok to order that size and I have literally ordered in the jumbo all the times I have eaten there! After all pina colada margarita is the only one I drink.... So the waiter adjusted our bill and did charge the margaritas but that still don't make it right. Oh n a customer who was sitting in front of us a brought us a stack of napkins because they never did either. On our way out to pay the lady at the bar asked how everything was n so I let her know.... I don't know why she asked because she didn't care anyways. Another customer sitting at the counter made a comment in Spanish (not knowing my father understood him). telling us not to come back if we didn't like it, the lady at the bar laughed about it ( yea the one who asked how everything was) how do u allow ur other customers to chime in and start harassing your other customers if u really cared how our visit was???? I will never go back there ever again! If u want a crazy experience go ahead at ya own risk..... If I could post with a half a star I would read more

Lindo Michuacan is a festive and authentic Mexican restaurant with a lot of character. The menu has some delicious sounding items that are not the typical Mexan restaurant fare like Parrillada, ahogada, and a Cuban with a Sunny- side-up egg on it! We wussed out and got enchiladas, but they were still delicious. The staff was really nice and attentive and created a welcoming environment! The drinks were a bit pricey, but I recommend checking this place out. I will definitely be back read more

Lindo Mexican Restaurant & Supermarket - Perfect end to the week.. #TGIF - Mexican Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

Best Mexican food in Appleton without a doubt! Many people have recommended this place to us because of how authentic it is and how great all their food is. The restaurant is split into a bar area with some tables and there is another room next to it with additional tables and booths. The entire space feels roomy with plenty of space between tables, which makes for a pleasant dining experience. We went for lunch and it wasn't very busy. Our waiter was with us only a few mins after we sat down and was very friendly. I ordered a strawberry margarita on the rocks. Be aware... they are strong but taste delicious! Our waiter brought us salsa and bean dip, which were both very good. My boyfriend ordered 3 street tacos- a carne asada, barbacoa, and chicken. He really enjoyed them and thought they were some of the best street tacos he's ever had. I ordered the vegetarian burrito. My burrito was huge and covered in a smoky red sauce. It was filled with rice, beans, mushroom, bell peppers, green beans, spinach, and tomatoes. I had over half of it left over because it was so big! We will definitely be back here! read more

We always make sure to get the carnitas from the grocery side on either Saturday or Sunday. Tasty and a great deal.

Sooooo Slow! Hope you are not in a hurry, because they sure are not. Not attentive to customer T all. This was our second time dinning in there. I gave them benefit of the doubt the first time, but second time was a repeat. The food we had was really good, hence the two star. No go fo me any longer read more

My husband and I have loved this place for the last three years since we've moved to town, unfortunately the last several times we've come we have left disappointed. I'm not sure if there's a new chef in the kitchen but the meats have been dry and overcooked. Tonight my quesobirro tacos came out soggy with no meat in one of them. Unfortunately after 3 or more bad experiences we are not sure if we will be returning to our once favorite taco spot read more

Lindo Mexican Restaurant & Supermarket - Mexican Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Appleton, Wisconsin

On a recent pre-relocation trip up to Appleton, WI from South Texas, I was desperate to find a suitable Mexican joint to make this drastic move just a little bit easier. South Texas is the CAPITOL of Mexican food (Tex-mex of course but the menu is almost always similar elsewhere). My expectations were not high given the location in the country but they were not in the dirt either. Unfortunately I was pretty disappointed. We walked in and the place smelled legit: masa with a hint of Fabuloso. I was certain we had found a gem. They promptly brought us chips and then set before us two small bowls. One was chilled, watery semi-refried beans and the other was canned tomatoes, water, raw onion, and cilantro. Zero hint of anything remotely resembling a pepper. I looked around the room and most everyone in there was speaking Spanish which was comforting because even though I haven't moved yet, I was already missing home. What I didn't understand was how everyone in that place was seemingly enjoying their so-called salsa. Just didn't make sense to me. If I hadn't witnessed that, I would've just assumed they were simply catering to their northern clientele. 40 minutes later, our lunch came. I asked our waitress for their spiciest enchiladas verdes (stupidly) assuming I'd get chicken. They came stuffed with white cheese. The salsa had a little bite which was surprising after experiencing their "salsa". I had expectations of something actually spicy when I requested their spiciest but maybe it's a northern thing...? More of the same cold watery semi-refried beans. Why my food showed up cold after waiting an eternity, I have no idea. I might try this place one more time because maybe they were having an off day. The reason for my second star is that there is a fantastic store attached for anything one might want, authentic mexican-food wise. Like a legitimate meat counter right down to packaged galletas, flavored sodas, topo chicos, dulces and so much more. read more

This was my first time trying this place out and unfortunately, it will also be my last. Some friends and I had been wanting to try this place. We were all very disappointed with our experience. It took almost an hour to get carry out. You can go to any other Mexican restaurant in town and get carryout in under 30 minutes, regardless of if they are busy or not. I ordered one of my favorite dishes, enchiladas poblanos. I am not an expert when it comes to Mexican food but any other time I've ordered this dish it was covered in a roasted poblano cream sauce. This dish was made with a red mole sauce that was extremely over-salted. Since this dish had zero poblano peppers associated with it, I fail to see why it is called enchiladas poblanos. We also ordered the American taco platter and the Mordeduras appetizer. The tacos had no flavor in my opinion. We order two chicken and two beef. The chicken was very dry and the beef, just like the enchiladas, was extremely over-salted. The tacos were also very messy & sloppy and they just fell apart when you tried to pick them up. Both enchiladas and the tacos came with rice and beans. The rice and beans also had no flavor, and the rice was very dry with what appeared to be frozen peas and corn. The serving size of the rice and beans we received was not appropriate to the cost. The appetizer was the only thing about the meal that we enjoyed. We were surprised at how good it was compared to the main dishes. We were also very disappointed with their to-go containers. Many other Mexican restaurants in the area use round tin containers appropriate to the amount of food that they are serving. This restaurant uses a fast food-style compartment container. All of our dishes were just thrown together in these containers. I think the worst part of our food was that everything was cold when we got home and I live 5 minutes away from the restaurant. We would all think that after waiting almost an hour for food that wasn't very good, it would have at least been hot. We found out after having ordered that they also have a very low state health score. only 33 out of 100. That's horrible for an establishment that serves food. They have been cited many many times for health code violations. We won't ever return to this restaurant. read more

Service was very slow. There were floaters (appeared to be Tajin) in my drink (mountain dew) and an extremely soggy straw wrapper in my friends drink. Had to ask for the bill and boxes multiple times. Guacamole was inedible from how much salt was in it. Food was decent, beans are very soupy! This is about the third or fourth time with this experience being consistent. Won't be dining here again. read more

Okay, by far the best tasting authentic Mexican food in all of Appleton. I say this with all excitement and sincerity. However, the place is poorly organized and very SSSSSLLLLLOOOOOWWWWW! Which is why I shorted one star. If the place could somehow get a handle on its floor staff, I definitely would be happy to raise my rating to 5 stars. But I will add, and would never dismiss, that all of the staff are very friendly and helpful. Anyway, if you're in the mood for truly authentic Mexican food in Appleton, this is certainly the place to be. With a plethora of menu items from which to choose, including a taco menu which is second to none, the food is carefully crafted and presented to eagerly awaiting hungry customers. If you are a patient foodie and enjoy good Mexican food, then I highly advise giving this place a chance. It's well worth a short wait. read more

Came in with my father while traveling up north for the 4th of July. It happened to be taco Tuesday which ment that mini tacos were 1$ a piece. I got 6 asada, 2 polo, 2 pork, and 2 chorizo. The tacos came out very quickly and were all topped with cilantro and onion. The marinated pork ones were the best, but all were very delicious. What really stands out is the homemade corn tortillas as they really bring a homemade vine to the food. The service was also very good with plenty of visits from the waitress as well as refills. If I'm ever in the area again, I would definitely consider coming back. read more

Best tacos in the fox valley! Everything reminds me like I am back in Chicago visiting Pilsen. Can't wait to go back!

I have talked this place up to every one I know- But Tonight I was sorely disappointed. I went for taco Tuesday because I enjoy the tacos . However tonight it took 45 minutes to get tacos and once I did they were less than half the size they normally are. Literally I had a taco and that was the size of the lime That was on the plate. When I asked the waitress about this she said well you know it's taco Tuesday don't you? I said yes I was here two weeks ago and the taco was twice the size which was small but it was taco Tuesday so I was OK with that. I will never go here again shame on them. read more

If you haven't stopped in to eat here, then you are missing out. The food is delicious, the tortilla shells are hand pressed and the prices are amazing! In fact, they are the best in town. They even have Taco Tuesday. Their delicious homemade tacos are a buck! And I'm not talking some bullshit hard shell taco with no love, it's the real deal. Honestly, just give them a try and you won't need this review. Thanks Lindo! The rest of the food is delicious too. read more

Tried Lindo Michoacan Authentic Mexican Restaurant for the first time last night. Great authentic Mexican food. The food took a little longer to get out than I would expect (given that the restaurant wasn't very busy) however when it came out it was delicious and flavorful. I ordered the combination fajita with chicken, steak and marinated pork. Everything was great with the exception of the steak which was tough and chewy. All in all, a good experience and I will definitely try them again. read more

I ordered delivery. The food arrived late, but it was still hot and was nicely presented. The pork tamale was good, but I was surprised it came covered in sour cream and cheese. I expected it to be plain or with some red sauce. It was still good. The Birria ramen platter was very good! The steak tacos were excellent. I thought there were too many noodles in the consumme, as I would have liked a little bit more broth for dipping. Still, the ramen was good, if not a little salty. The only real disappointment was the pozole, which is a favorite of mine and I'm always looking for a great one. The Pozole from Lindo had WAY too much pork in it, and it wasn't cubed, it was in huge hunks of shreds. No way it could be eaten as a soup. There was so much pork there was not enough broth to enjoy as a soup. I love adding all the condiments, which did not include any crisp tortillas here. It was also a bit too salty. Overall, I would order from here again, but skip the pozole. read more

As small as this hole-in-the-wall restaurant appears, it sure contends! In fact, it surpasses! I'm so glad I found this place so I can continue trying their other dishes. The guacamole was amazing. The chips and salsa are very good. The salsa is a little hotter than medium. The bean dip is excellent as well. My massive burrito was pretty good. My only drawback were the peas in it. I've never seen that and it came across like they mixed a bag of frozen vegetables in it. The gordita I had was very good and interesting! I had chicken with the burrito and marinated pork for the gordita. I would say I liked the chicken most out of those. There is a small bar inside and the margarita options looked good and well-priced. The inside doesn't allow for an intimate setting and is very casual and open w/smaller tables. It's to the right of Little Cesars if you're having trouble seeing it. Also, the waitress was super friendly! Highly recommended! read more

We went here tonight for our weekly night out with kids. When we first walked in we were not acknowledged. We waited patiently even though we were on a time line. The waiter had to clean up a mess on the floor and seemed frustrated. After he sat us at our table he completely turned around. He was attentive, the food was excellent, and we still made it out on time to pick up our kids. We go here to eat often enough, with and without kids. The food is always great and the service too. Maybe the waiter was just having an off night? I still have 5 stars because I anticipate our next visit to be great! read more

Very disappointed in this place based on the four star rating. After being told to seat myself, I had to pick from I wiped tables. A rag was left on one and the floor was also visibly dirty. I sat and waited six or seven minutes before being brought a menu. The "waiter" didn't seem to notice the filthy table. One minute after I got the menu he brought chips, salsa, and beans and asked if I knew what I wanted. Well, no. He said he would come back in five minutes and never did. I finished the chips and my water and was going to leave when the waitress serving the few other customers noticed I was a little irked. She apologized for the delay and took my order. Prices were fair but the food was subpar, I think Wisconsin in general has low expectations for Mexican food. All in all, the dirty tables and poor service by the initial server leave a lot to be desired, and it wasn't improved by the average food. Still ISO good Mexican food in Appleton. read more

OK, we went to Lindo Michoacan for the 2nd time. It wasn't Taco Tuesday so it was very quiet and to be honest, dead. Only one other table besides our table. I decided not to order tacos so I could try something different. Friend and I ordered the Parrillada Ala Michoacana for two ($24). We've had it before at a different restaurant so we kind of knew what to expect. It included chicken, chorizo, shrimp, steak, potato wedges, onions, peppers and jalapenos. Everything was on the plate but there was more sliced potatoes than everything else. Don't get me wrong, the potato slices were good but there was only 2 small thin pieces of chicken, 2 small thin pieces of chorizo, 4 shrimps, and 4 small thin pieces of steak. I could have had more meat from 2 wings vs the small thin pieces of chicken on the plate. Two small pieces of chorizo was delicious but only 2 bites on each piece. Shrimp was tasty. Pieces of steak was small super thin and tough. There was either 3 or 4 onions and jalapenos and some sweet peppers and of course a lot of potatoes. For the most part, it tasted good (besides the tough steak) but it definitely was not worth $24 for a lot of sliced potatoes and not much meat. For only having 2 tables (4 people total), it sure seems the waitress was too busy to stop by to see if we needed anything. Neither of us got a refill of water or drink. I'm sorry but I changed the review stars down to a 3 star. :( read more
