    the first salsa and chips are courtesy of the house

    I hate to write bad reviews. I really do. But this experience was probably the worst restaurant experience I have ever had. We stopped in here for dinner while on vacation. We only had to wait a few minutes to be seated. I tried to use the check in offer from Yelp and the waitress said no just the chips and salsa is free. She didn't offer to speak to a manager or ask someone else. She struggled with communicating, she shared so spoke very little English. Well this made it really difficult to order and communicate our needs. We asked about the live music that they promoted on sign outside and she said she didn't understand and her manager wasn't there. The food was very very overpriced for the size of the entrees and the tasty was very bland. The salsa that most Mexican restaurants have had a limit which was such a turn off. The food, facility, and service were all subpar. I understand why people wait an hour or more to walk across the parking lot to eat at a different Mexican restaurant. Just don't, the limited cars in line and run down interior should be the sign for you. We are just hoping we all don't come down with food poisoning.

    A hole in a while compared to other Mexican options in the area, but don't let that take you away from this place. The food is great, isn't touristy, and has much more flavor compared to other nearby attractions. The margaritas and mangonadas were also excellent. I got the molecajete (so much food), which was very good. I'll definitely visit each time I'm in Orange Beach. Due to Covid restrictions, there were only two servers at the time. They were serving and bar tending at the same time, so I commend them on their hard work. Don't let the other reviews fool you! Come try this place for yourself and skip the tourist traps!

    Best mexican place btw Orange beach -Pensacola i went 4 places. Finally found out. this place is small but tasty is way better than other places. i recommend order food with some pork and steak. This place meat taste is excellent. The steak and pork in Britto is very soft and i like this grilled tasty. :0

    Oh so good, oh so authentic. Those are the best words to describe Mexico Lindo. No it's not an attractive restaurant, but beauty does lie in the eye of the beholder. Mexico Lindo offers its customers great, fast service, and terrific food at an affordable price. My waitress was a sweetheart, she was fast and efferent albeit a slight language problem. But I got exactly what I ordered. The food was outstanding, the taste of Mexico!. This is a definite come again and again!

    Ordered a vegetable burrito. Requested the cheese sauce on the side, the burrito was covered in cheese. The waitress did not offer to correct it. When one of my guest requested more salsa the waitress replied, wait until you finish that salsa. She never came back to check if more was needed. Her attitude was not one of customer service.

    Literally poured oil in the Togo plate instead of disposing.

    Staff was on point 5 stars... the chef however I rate one star, the steak had so much fat on it was insane, the fajitas are literally served in a 4 inch to go pan that has 3 inches of grease in it yuck!!! The enchiladas ground beef tastes like it's a week old and had a sugary taste to it...

    We love this place! The Mesquite Grill for 2 was the bomb!!! Forgot to take a "before" photo. This is what we couldn't finish (and we both love to eat)!

    Hidden gem. Great tacos for the kids. Great fajitas. Better than the chain restaurant that has three locations around here.

I didn't really care for my hubby's steak (fajitas) but he'll probably tell you it was good. Haha. I didn't care for the style of rice or refried beans. But I'm probably just picky. Looking around, I saw a lot of people with margaritas and other adult beverages. Their margs seemed to be very popular! There are people walking around taking photos of your table and giving you the option to purchase the photos. Something to consider if you have foster kids or have a unique situation where you'd prefer not to be photographed. There's a rubber duck claw machine up front that kept my kids VERY BUSY! They loved it. I probably wouldn't go back, especially cuz I like to eat seafood when I'm at the beach, but it was decent enough!

We then ordered our meals after we received our water. The dips then came out followed shortly by the kids meal. The Margaritas took a bit to come out, we were told the bar was slammed. Okay, I get it, Friday evening, Spring Break, no worries. Our food was another story...After we watched 6 other tables with 4 or more guests that came in after us (4 and a toddler) order, eat, pay and leave and we still didn't have our food, and had been told 3 separate times that the kitchen was running behind (eye roll), and an hour had now lapsed since being seated, it was time to ask for a manager. How can 6 other tables that got seated and ordered AFTER us, order, get their appetizers, bar drinks and food, pay and leave and another table get seated and get their food and we still didn't have our food if the kitchen was running behind? (I think perhaps someone forgot to enter our order...???) We were done, the toddler was now screaming, we were ready to go. I did say I'd pay for what we did receive, a kids meal, the drinks and the guacamole and the Manager told us she would take care of this. Thank you! . There's also a photographer that goes around taking pictures and will give you a postcard for free, and offers additional pictures for purchase. (Giving 2-stars only because the guac and drinks were fantastic! And I can imagine the food is wonderful as well. Sorry we didn't get to find out.)

ATMOSPHERE Nothing too special about the atmosphere here. I just love that. It was nice clean open area with large windows and plenty of seating and easy to get around. The bar area look cool and the layout was nice. FOOD this is why you came here, right! All kinds of fish cooked all kinds of different ways. Delicious gumbo. Love that pimento cheese ball appetizer with that blueberry pepper jelly! For lunch, I had the meat and three. It was all good, especially the collard greens. SERVICE THIS WAS MAYBE SOME OF THE BEST SERVICE I HAD THE WHOLE TIME I WAS IN ORANGE BEACH THIS WEEKEND. OUR SERVER WAS SO AMAZING. I HATE THAT I CAN'T REMEMBER HER NAME, BUT SHE WAS ON TOP OF IT AND SUPER DELIGHTFUL. DRINKS The bar area looked really nice. Most of my table had iced tea which everybody enjoyed. I also got a beer from the Mississippi Gulf Coast. I was very impressed by their beer selection and they are a verified venue on the Untappd app so you can go to that app to look at all the beer selection and even filter and sort the beers so that you can have an easier time selecting the proper beverage. It even came out in a glass that matched the beer that I had! I like that extra touch.

They had a meat and three sides which is a southern thing. I chose the fresh catch. with side salad, boiled red potatoes, and greens. I had asked the server for the salad first. But it was brought with the meal. The salad was fresh and crisp, with a surprise of a small Peppa dew pepper. Blazing red with a little heat and delicious. Haven't seen them in a restaurant ever. Unfortunately my fish and potatoes were cold, cold and butter congealed. The greens were warm and good I had also ordered the cornbread. It was refreshing to see that it wasn't the usual cake like kind, plus not the ultra sweet kind either. More bread like with a hint of sweetness. Delicious. The fish and potatoes had a nice flavor but unfortunately the cold food spoiled the experience. Since I was a guest of my sister I didn't say anything about the cold food. What a disappointment. Maybe when I return things will be better.

I have a few faves like the cheesy mushrooms and the BBQ shrimp, and nowadaya you can't just look at the regular menu. You have to check out their daily specials board because they are constantly knocking it out of the park with creative new dishes and fresh catches. ​The atmosphere is just even more welcoming, but the outdoor seating is much improved with some sand and stage, perfect for enjoying the coastal breeze. They updated their operating hours too, so they are now open daily from 11 AM to 10 PM. Whether you want to escape the usual tourist trap seafood lines, watch a game on their big screens, or just grab a ice cold beer, or really strong drink, with friendly folks, this place just keeps getting better. If you haven't been by lately, you are seriously missing out. Highly recommended!!! 5/26/26
