    Pozole Menudo Med.
    Tammy D.

    I love Mexican food and I'm always on the hunt for great spots, so I came into Lindo Michoacán in Santa Ana genuinely excited. Left feeling pretty mixed about it. I ordered the menudo, mole con pollo, pozole, horchata, tamarindo, and agua fresca basically went all in. Let's start with the good: the pozole was spectacular, and the horchata was excellent. Would not change a thing about either of those. The tamarindo agua fresca was also a nice touch our server even let us sample the drinks before ordering, which was a great experience. Now for the not so great. The menudo was unfortunately a miss for us. The tripe had a very strong smell that made the whole experience pretty off-putting, and the quality just wasn't there. I'll also say it did not sit well with me afterward, so that's worth keeping in mind. The mole con pollo was just okay, but the portion size made it hard to justify. You get two small pieces of chicken leg with rice and beans it felt more like a side of chicken than an actual entrée. On a positive note, the staff was super friendly and helpful throughout. The wait wasn't too bad, and everything was packaged really well to go nothing spilled, which is always appreciated. Overall, I'd come back just for the pozole and horchata, but I'd skip the menudo and probably explore other entrée options next time

    First time here. Saw a lot of Tik Toks about the menudo and drove here asap when the craving hit. It's 16.99 for a regular size and 18.99 for a large. Also got a huaraches to share with my baby and we both loved it. We came at 11am and it was already pretty full bc it's not very big inside. FYI!

    Best menudo in Orange County. Have been coming here every Sunday for over 20 years. This places hits the spot all the time and never misses!

    Delicious carnitas plate! Hubby ordered an al pastor torta that he thought was just ok the meat lacked flavor and was sweet. He is used to tortas being stuffed but it was pretty small here. Horchata drinks were ok.

    Bad customer service , didn't get my order right and they won't own up to their mistakes . Food is alright . Over all wouldnt recommend. You'll leave unsatisfied

    Amazing food, we order the chilaquiles chingones and the menudo and they are 10/10. This is my bf and i favorite place for lunch. Service is very friendly and accommodating the lady helping us is really nice and attentive, it is a cool place and they have good music too! 100% recommend this place

    I come here almost every week, and the water and cash receptionist Roberto is always really welcoming, super nice & respectful. He doesn't rush you, if anything he is really patient. The food is always a 10/10. The service is really good. The cookers are awesome & make the food absolutely delicious. The place is remodeled, it's always really clean. I definitely would recommend this Mexican restaurant to everyone! Vengo aquí casi cada semana, y el mesero/ cajero Roberto siempre nos hace sentir bienvenidas, es muy amable y respetuoso. El no te apresura, al contrario es muy paciente. La comida siempre es deliciosa, un 10/10. Tienen muy buen servicio. Los cocineros son maravillosos y cocinan muy sabroso. El restaurante está remodelado y siempre está muy limpio. Yo definitivamente les recomiendo este restaurante Mexicano a todos!

    Food is Always on point. Service is always great! It's small so get there early or just after the morning rush.

    Excelente comida. Muy casera. Su menudo el mejor que he probado aparte del de mi hermana. La torta de milanesa es deliciosa y es hecha estilo Ciudad de México y también pudimos costilla de puerco en salsa roja. La carte estaba un poco dura pero sabroso el guisado.

    Menudo grande.

    On today's visit we order a menudo (beef belly soup) traditionally a Mexican dish. We also order the chilaquiles chingones. They come with the ribs red sauce very delicious by the way rice beans ranchera steak and egg. With a tamarindo favor water. The service today was fast and the food is always delicious. All the dishes we have tried have not disappoint.

    Been going here with my wife for awhile, she introduced me to this spot because of their menudo is the best. She told when she used to come here as a lid with her family, the lines would wrap around the corner of the street and ppl would line up with their hollas in hand to buy menudo. That recipe seems to not changed! This spot hits the spot for authentic Mexican food!

The exterior does not do justice to the beautiful interior. Once you walk inside, you're greeted by a spacious restaurant with beautiful, authentic, and very well-themed Mexican décor. The food was amazing! I had the shrimp fajitas, and they were absolutely delicious. We also tried the mole flautas, which were another excellent choice. Everything was flavorful, fresh, and beautifully prepared. Great atmosphere, delicious food, and a place that definitely exceeded our expectations. We'll be back! 5 stars all the way!

We came as a party of 14…read moreto celebrate both of my parents' birthdays, so we were really looking forward to having a nice evening together. 09/15/26. The biggest issue was the service. Our server rarely checked on our table throughout the night. Several of us needed refills and wanted to order additional drinks, but we couldn't get our server's attention. At one point, we looked over and saw our server wiping down glasses and laughing with other coworkers while our table was still waiting to be attended to. With a party of 14, especially one celebrating two birthdays, I would expect the server to check in periodically and make sure everyone has what they need. Instead, we felt overlooked and had to constantly look around for assistance. The service continued to be frustrating when it was time to leave. We waited for the check, but it never came to our table. Eventually, we had to get up, and I stood by the door waiting for our server to finally bring me the check so I could pay. When I was paying, I directly told our server that the service had been pretty bad and that we had a bad experience. I expected at least an acknowledgment or apology, but there was none. He didn't apologize or really acknowledge my concerns at all. On top of that, an 18% gratuity was automatically included because of the size of our party. I understand automatic gratuity for larger parties, but considering the lack of attention and overall service we received, I absolutely did not feel the 18% gratuity was deserved. For our first visit to Rosa Madera and what was supposed to be a special celebration for both of my parents, this was an extremely disappointing experience. Having to repeatedly look for our server, wait for refills and additional drinks, and ultimately get up and wait by the door just to receive the check is not the level of service I would expect--especially for a special occasion and with an automatic 18% gratuity added.

To make matters worse, one of our meals was completely forgotten. The service was extremely slow throughout the entire visit. Every time we needed something, whether it was a refill, an update, or assistance, the wait felt excessive. The restaurant may have potential because the food itself was flavorful, but it seemed like they were either understaffed or unprepared for the number of customers they had. Another disappointment was the drink selection. We were told they don't have a liquor license, so hard alcohol isn't available. Their sodas were canned, and when we asked for juice for the kids, they told us they were completely out. As for the atmosphere, the restaurant is on the smaller side and felt more like a converted house than a traditional restaurant, complete with a fireplace and television in the dining area. The food had good flavor, which is the only reason I'm giving more than one star. Unfortunately, the long wait times, missing meal, lack of drink options, and poor service made the overall experience disappointing.

    I used to LOVE coming to this place... until I realized their customer service seriously sucked…read more First off, the food is honestly a little on the salty side, but I kept coming back because I liked the place. Then this happened. I brought my family here for dinner, and when we were closing out the check, the server failed to mention that gratuity was automatically added for a party of 6. I didn't realize it until I was about to sign and saw that I was about to leave ANOTHER tip on top of the automatic gratuity. I was like, oh HELL NO, I'm not tipping $80+ So I asked the server to refund the entire transaction and rerun the payment correctly. She told me she couldn't do that, but said she could refund the extra tip instead. I said okay, trusting that she knew what she was doing. We left. Fast forward about 4-6 months later. I come back with different family members, and the MANAGER comes over and tells me I have an outstanding balance of around $150. At first I genuinely thought he was joking. Nope. Apparently, when the server was supposed to refund the extra tip, she accidentally refunded the ENTIRE BILL and kept the tip. ‍ Now explain to me HOW that was my problem?! I specifically told her I wanted the entire transaction refunded so we could start over, and SHE chose to handle it differently. That was THEIR mistake, not mine. And the worst part? Instead of pulling me aside privately and explaining what happened, the manager brought this up IN FRONT OF THE FAMILY I WAS WITH. So now I'm sitting there being told I owe $150+ in front of my guests because of an error THEIR employee made months earlier. Talk about embarrassing. Thank God I'm in a position where I could afford to pay it, so I paid the outstanding amount AND my new bill that day -- over $300 out of pocket -- just to resolve the whole situation. I paid everything they said I owed for both visits, and I have never gone back since. And I WILL NEVER go back. Between the salty-ass food and the customer service, I'll take my money somewhere else. Just sharing my TRUE experience because I think customers deserve to know what happened.
