We went with another couple a few times. Service was great, drinks were tasty and food was very good.

Disappointed -- it's a shame, used to be great. We've been going to Mexico Lindo for years, food had always been great, service had been great. Placed used to be packed. Today, dinner at 6:30 on a Sat night, more than half empty....same could be said for the plates now. Half the beans, rice and salad that used to come with the dish. We asked for the spicy salsa with the chips, never received it. Didn't even get our waters or drinks till after the food arrived, after we asked for it again. My husband has the special -- the sirloin with the chorizo, he was asked mild or spicy. He asked for spicy, got mild. It's a shame, used to be a great family run restaurant. Taking a break from here for sure. Hope they go back to the great food or service, otherwise I'm sure they'll lose more customers. read more

Great food! Very authentic tasting! Friendly and fast service.. will definitely return!! read more

I wish I could award a Michelin star for how yummy their food is. We order/pick-up biweekly and we're always excited when we do. Even take out food remains crispy and delicious, chimichanga, flautas and burritos are all amazing. The chorinachos are a must to order and share, although you'll be fighting for the last bite if you do share. The staff are always friendly, smiling and happy to see you. They make you feel like family everytime. read more

Fantastic food. Love eating here. Takes the cake compared to other Mexican style restaurants

Amazing local Mexican restaurant that has a friendly atmosphere with the sweetest staff. Went to pick up an order for dinner last week and we were not disappointed, as usual! Given the pandemic, the staff are obviously working very hard to keep on top of their take out orders and trying to keep up with the demand as much as they can. So important to support local during these times! read more

Mexico Lindo - Chicken burrito, Tabasco combo, and nachos fiesta - Mexican Near Me - Whitby, Ontario

After passing by this little place on numerous occasions, today was the day we FINALLY decided to go in and have a meal - AND WE HAVE NO REGRETS!!! It was great to have a taste of Mexico so close to home. The place is filled with bright beautiful colours, very clean and cozy and filled with all the souvenirs and sombreros you've seen if you've been to this beautiful country. The service is great, the food comes out fast and hot. Very tasty, very authentic with fresh tortilla chips and real corn tortillas - NOT the flour ones that most westernized restaurants serve. Prices are pretty good for the portion sizes you get. Complimentary tortillas and salsa when you sit down. Most of the entrees come with rice, salad and refried beans. We ordered the Tabasco combo and the Acapulco combo. Both were on the saltier side but still very tasty. PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE DO NOT LEAVE WITHOUT GETTING THE CHURROS!! They are delish Safe to say, we will definitely be coming back. read more

We decided to get takeout from Mexico Lindo in Whitby tonight and it was amazing! The beef burrito with tomatillo sauce was absolutely perfect as were the rice, salad and beans that accompanied it. The Tabasco combo was as delicious as ever. We started with a shrimp appetizer with yummy sauce that we sopped up with bread. Very tasty! Happy to support this wonderful restaurant during this time of social distancing. I want them to survive this bumpy period and to be there for all of us once COVID-19 is behind us. read more

Love the food and atmosphere, staff was so friendly! I love the chicken enchiladas, everything tasted so fresh.

Delicious authentic Mexican I enjoy coming here every once and a while flavours are great but portions could be a lil better

I love this place. Huge portions, amazing prices. ACTUAL Mexican food. Refried beans are amazing

We first tried this place a few years ago when we still lived out in Whitby. It doesn't look overly impressive from the outside, and even inside it's a little small but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming. When you sit down you'll get some of their delicious corn chips and salsa. The salsa isn't incredibly spicy, but the last time we went my boyfriend ordered a really hot meal, so our server brought over some extra hot sauce for us to mix with the salsa... perfection! We love going back anytime we're in Whitby visiting family and friends. We still haven't found another Mexican restaurant that compares. The salads, refried beans and every entree... fantastic! We've never had a bad experience and we'll always recommend it to others.... we just wish we still lived closer as we haven't found anything near our home in the west end that can even come close. read more

An authentic Mexican restaurant - in WHITBY!?!? It sounds crazy, but it's true. This restaurant used to be an old gas station or something that I'd pass on my way to the old record store I used to work at, but it's been turned into this apparently extremely popular restaurant, right in the middle of suburbia. The prices are reasonable and the service is very quick as they like to get people in and out so they can feed as many as they can on a busy night. The food is great - they offer favorites like enchiladas and tacos with healthy sides of beans and rice. It's very nice to find a restaurant in Whitby that isn't a chain! read more

Stopped here on the longweekend driving home from up north. Food was ok. I might eat here again just to avoid eating at big box chains in the area. Had Chorizo that tasted like ground beef, was spicy but not a lot of flavour. The salad dressing tasted like Kraft straight out of the bottle. Service was friendly and fast. The place was clean. read more

As authenic as you are going to get in Whitby! Good food, good prices and pretty good service. Even sell good mexican beer! (Not just Coronas) I have enjoyed every meal here and was going to give it 5 stars but they did recently have a bad write up by the Durham Health Inspector. So will be keeping my eye on that fact. But upuntil this good stuff! read more

Amazing food! Mouth watering desert! Only thing is they are so busy that you will have to wait for 15-20 min depends when you go. We went around 7pm. The owner is a lovely lady and definitely makes you feel like you are right at home. read more

I love this place. I was quite hesitant at first because it really doesnt look attractive / impressive from outside. But once you get a taste of their food.. heaven! Nothing fancy but the joy of yummy home-cooked meal, friendly atmosphere and hospitable owner. Since that first visit, i kept coming back. I wonder if they are the same owner of the one in Ajax? read more

I ate here a few months ago in Feb, but I had to come back and review it because it was so good. We made a reservation as it was a Friday evening, although we were only a party of 5. It is a small, cozy space decorated beautifully with a very authentic Mexican feel (NOT campy). The waiters were very friendly, and excellent with giving us suggestions. The food portions are huge and delicious. I had the chicken enchiladas, and ended up having enough food leftover for lunch the next day. I don't think anyone at our table was able to finish their entire meal. We did order 2 orders of the Mexican bruschetta as well. I also ordered a massive sangria which was very good and came in a glass so large I had to use both hands. The prices are more than fair, the service is excellent, and the portions are huge. I would definitely recommend this place if you are in the area for a quick bite, or even for more formal occasions. If you love Mexican food, you won't be disappointed. Again, I'm not sure how busy they get on the weekend but I would call ahead with a reservation if you are planning to go with a party of 4 or more. read more

It was okay but I expected more based on a lot of reviews and personal recommendations and both times I had take out. The fajitas were meh and the camerones rancheros were alright. I also had the steak al la Mexicana and the avocado salad that was nice but then again I should give it try dinning in. read more

This place is wonderful. We used to come to the one in Bomanville all the time after race days at Mosport, but it closed down. :( luckily the family keeps this one running and it's down the street in Whitby! The lady at the helm is fantastic, authentic and so funny and sweet. The food is delicious and we'll priced for the portions. Chips and salsa are fresh (ask for hotsuace for the salsa) and the specials are on the white board as you walk in. . . .not in the menu! So look before you sit. XOXO love these people! Oh! And get the fried ice cream! :) read more

Love the food at the restaurant. Especially the chips. I go every Friday. To pick up the chips and now I am called chip lady. People are great. Got to love the food. read more

Notice how Mexico Lindo's parking lot is always packed around 6pm? That's cause these guys are awesome. My wife and I go there every few months and we love it every time. The service is always fast and friendly, and the best thing about them is that the food is different from the same old thing we always get a the "usual" places. When was the last time you had Mexican? read more

I've been there few times, food is authentic, chef is from Mexico as well. I like to try the corn tortillas as they are healthier than flour. I've had the enchiladas, tacos, chimichangas, cancun salad. Tried almost everythting. Overall, great food and friendly staff. read more

Like Mexican food? Well this is as authentic as you are going to get in Whitby. The food was very tasty, the portion sizes are insane (good thing), and the staff is very personable. If you want it a bit spicier, then opt for the Diablo sauce on the side. Not offered on the menu, but it is apparently the way to go. The hot sauce packs some heat as well as flavour. The place is much larger than one would expect from the outside. If the place looks busy, still give it a chance, there will be room. read more

I love Mexican food. This is my go to spot for a nice big burrito mmmmmm. Gotta try the chimichanga aswelll. It's the bomba

Excellent Mexican restaurant... I can easily give them a high rate considering the taste of the food... This is a classic "dont rate the book for it cover" it look small from the outside but they have plenty of room... And believe it or now, there are people eating there like ALL THE TIME... read more

We arrived for lunch just after 12:00 today (Saturday), there were 2 couples and a table for 4 besides us, one of the couples were already eating. We sat for over 15 minutes without so much as a glass of water or chips and salsa. I finally had a beer after waiting 25 minutes but my husband still didn't have his drink but still no chips & salsa. I finally had to ask for before they arrived. We ordered fajitas for 2, beef and chorizo. It was very good but nothing spectacular. The draft beer was also very good but the service was so bad, it ruined our experience. read more

One of our favourite places!! Order anything and you will be happy! Great Service, Decor awesome, maybe it is the margarita talking :) read more

Are you kidding me? I felt like I was in Mexico again. I love this place and you will too. The food was really good! This in not a fancy place or a place to bring your first date but if you are looking for real Mexican food...this is your place. PS if its your birthday you get a free fried ice cream. Its the size of a softball and its full of chocolate , cinnamon, caramel and so much more. read more

I tried this palce with my husband last week. the place doesnt look all that great from the outside but most hidden treasures dont. And trust me, this place is a hidden treasure. If you've even been to Mexico or had authentic mexican food in texas or California, this place will match it if not impress you further. The inside is not facny but quiant. the walls are covered with all the souvenirs tourist would bring back. They start you off with corn chips and salas, somewhat mild but you can ask to spice it up. The meals are great. The chimmichanga is to die for. the sides (refreid beans & salad) are done well. The place is not to expensive and is a really great place to eat. The service was also quick! read more

Fantastic authentic Mexican food! Very reasonably priced. Home made nachos and salsa are delievered to your table as soon as you sit down. For an appetizer, order the home made guacamole. Highly recommend the Tabasco combo (beef burrito with spicy red sauce and chicken enchilada with green tomatillo sauce) for your main and the deep fried ice cream for dessert. Other locations: Ajax, Port Perry and Oshawa. read more

Excellent food and service. Definitely recommend this place to people looking for authentic Mexican food. Yummy burritos!!! read more

Great place for authentic Mexican. Loved the chimichanga and beans. Mmmm. The hostess, possibly owner was so cute and genuinely made sure we were enjoying our food. Prices were decent. Portions were huge, but we were coming from the beach so we were starving! I'll definitely be back to get mexican fix in Durham. read more

Food is amazing! I get the hottest-spiciest burritos (chicken) and the flavour is excellent. Not the fanciest place, but that's fine by me. It's all about the food! Wish there was one in Markham. Whitby is a bit far but worth the drive if you want Mexican. Friendly service and reasonable pricing. read more

Loud staff - yelling and singing, mediocre food, waiters (kids) dressed like street urchins with underwear exposed by below-the- butt-jeans... really? I see enough of that on teenagers roaming around the mall so I don't need to see it in a restaurant. The place feels seedy now. Messed up the order, overcooked the chicken drinks were lacking kick. Left with a headache and a sense of a deteriorating restaurant that used to be consistently good - something has changed. Cant go back until I see a lot of 4+ reviews for a long stretch... worried about the food poisoning other reviewers have recently posted... probably should have checked those first. read more

México Lindo is my favorite restaurant, with the sole exception of a pizzeria in Niagara Falls. This place is honestly amazing and I love every meal that I have had here and come back as frequently as I can. The staff is hardworking and talented, but also vibrant and extremely interesting! The owners are actually Latin American and know what they are doing when it comes to Mexican food. The chefs are going non-stop pretty much all day, but the quality of their food is always high and the taste is consistently amazing. I love to dine in because of the decor! It is distinctly Mexican and is filled to the brim with Mexican knick-knacks and art, as well as a huge portrait of the Don Equis guy, which is awesome. The food is so good. I personally like the Chimichanga but everything is good. I have tried the tacos, fajitas, quesadillas, and burritos and have loved all of them. They come in fish, beef, chorizo, and chicken variants. I have never tried the fish, but all three of the other options are good. The take out is usually not as good as the dine in food. The portions are very generous and you get what you pay for! All meals come with rice, salad, and refried beans which are delicious and filling. I cannot recommend this place highly enough. I simply love it, and return every chance I get. I have celebrated my birthday here for the past three years. If you are curious about Mexico Lindo, just go! It's awesome! read more

Could so easily miss it but it is a delightful place with delicious food and a lovely owner. Accommodating for food allergies. Nice upbeat atmosphere. read more

I crave the enchilada's everyday. (No Lie) Great people, real amazing Mexican food, beautiful atmosphere... go... now! The pricing for portion is a little high (I'm cheap), but the taste is incredible... worth every penny. *Free nachos and salsa when you arrive. I got a corona, chicken enchilada's with green sauce and it was amazing... every time. (4x now). I'll be back very soon, i hope. read more

I LOVE Mexico Lindo, their food is always amazing and fast and hot! I usually get the Enchilada Suiza or the ribs. The ribs are a fairly new menu item and I highly recommend them!! The staff are all very friendly. The only thing that I would suggest...is getting a pop fountain and offer free refills. It's odd to only get a can of pop in a restaurant. read more

A great find on my travels to the Oshawa/Whitby area for work. The prices are great, food was awesome and authentic. Our server was attentive and fast with our requests. I got the beef chimichanga and chorizo enchilada. I'd recommend getting the guacamole as well. read more
