    We ordered frozen regular margaritas. The machine was not working, so we ordered them on the rocks. This is what we got ‍

    Meh. Yep, sorry, that's my rating. Look, Austin is a tough place to compete in the Tex Mex category. There are many fine establishments with muy delicioso food. Mi Lindo is just okay. You might say,"well, it's not a fine dining place", but we all know there are plenty of "hole in the wall" places where some crazy good mommas are cooking up their secret family recipes and sharing them with us. It wasn't bad, it just wasn't outstanding. Our server was pleasant, but she could not remember our order; I guess because she did not write it down... The place felt clean and the prices were good. I'm sorry I won't be back. It's just the bar is high, and Mi Lindo is not up to par.

    This place was good, but I found way too many bones in my birria tacos. When we came at around 7:40pm on a Sunday, there were no customers until we were heading out at around 8:30pm. Our server was super friendly and patient with us! The agua frescas they had available were horchata and watermelon. I went with watermelon, and it was refreshing and sweet- tasted like watermelon candy! At first it was a bit too sweet, but it diluted a bit once the ice started melting. My dad got the enchiladas verdes with barbacoa. Get barbacoa as your meat!!! It was extremely soft and tender that it could literally melt in your mouth... anddd it had amazing flavor. The enchiladas were covered in a tangy, mild sauce. So tasty! This place has some of the best enchiladas I've ever had. I got the quesabirria tacos which were listed under the weekend special menu. They topped it with queso fresco, and in addition to the consommé they served it with some kind of queso fresco sauce. The tacos were good, but it was pretty darn salty. The consommé was light. As for the meat, they did not shy out on the filling! The main issue I had was finding multiple small bones in the meat. That was not the crunch I was looking for... RIP. When I ate one taco for dinner, I found a small bone. Then the next taco I ate back at the hotel, I found 2 small bones. Even more bones were found in the third taco just as expected. I've eaten my fair share of birria tacos before and I've never run into any problems like this. If you're going to be ordering the birria tacos, just be aware. Overall, I was satisfied with the food (minus the tacos) and service. The vibes were lit. They were playing some fire music. Parking available on both sides of the building.

    This was such a cute little place for a great lunch! It is small and cozy on the inside, and filled up quickly. There is outside seating area available as well! The hostess and waitress were both very kind and did a wonderful job. I ordered the verde enchiladas. I requested one beef and two chicken so that I could try both meats. I loved everything on my plate, including the rice and beans! Everything was served hot and fresh. The chips and salsa were great as well!

    Verde Cheese Enchiladas
    Stephanie A.

    First time here! Great little restaurant. Between us we had: Cheese Verde Enchiladas: When I ordered these, the waitress seemed a bit confused, cheese is not on the menu - but I figured they could make them and they did. To be honest, there could have been more cheese in the filling. The verde sauce was delicious - tangy and light. I really enjoyed the rice that came with it - fluffy. The beans were your standard refried beans but good none the less. Next time, I will try one of the meat fillings. Oysters: Large and fresh, the husband really enjoyed these. Don't expect to see any horse radish or cocktail sauce. It comes with limes and hot sauce - not sure why I was surprised. Chips and Salsa: The chips are the thin crispy type with the right amount of salt - yummy. There are two salsas served with the chips, one green and one red. The red one tasted like reconstituted dried peppers. The green one was more acidic and fresh - we enjoyed the green one best. The place was very clean and had a nice atmosphere. The waitress warmed up to us a bit before we left - a smile can go a long way. We were impressed with this place and will definitely be back to try other menu items. The breakfast items look really good too.

    Very good to great ... It's up north on Lamar, and a bit out of the way, but totally worth the drive. The food is excellent (especially the seafood soups!) the service friendly , and the ambience long on soccer on the screens. Definitely happy-making!!!

    Two words. Microwave food. That's what this was. This food was inedible. I don't think I've ever had Mexican food this bad. I can see why we were the only customers when we dined in. I'm sure we might've been their only customers today. Some places I've gone and food needs salt or seasoning but there is no saving this food. The fajitas did not come out sizzling, what fajitas don't come sizzling??? I'm sure this food was pre cooked and just heated back up in a microwave or oven. I wanted to just power through until a moment where I just could not bite the meat in two. My teeth still hurt thinking about this food. Definitely not coming here again. Should've turned around as soon as we saw how empty it was. Server was also our hostess and she was super nice, I feel bad her talents are being wasted in the restaurant business where most servers go off of tips, I'm sure she's not making any money at all unless it's out of pity. This place should've been closed long ago. You know that corny cheesy line people use? "If I could give this place 0 starts I would." Well I do. I wish I could do that.

    Birria tacos
    Nicole S.

    I have been here twice and have had a good experience! Service and food is good - tex mex type food. It's no frills dining and I really like the patio in good weather. I like how the food is not super greasy or drowning in cheese. They have 3 hot sauces green, red and habanero, all pretty good. I really liked the birria tacos although one did have bones. They have a convenient parking lot. Service checked in on us several times and was super friendly. Today we came in for bfast like 10 min before they opened, not realizing they open at 10am and they were ready to take our order.

    a comfortable little converted house style spot, with a nice outside seating area as well as a very clean and comfortable indoor dining area. The service was prompt and friendly, and the food was excellent. Also features a full bar. They have a fairly extensive menu, and serving time was appropriate for freshly prepared food. Mole sauce is one of my benchmarks and I enjoyed theirs very much. The nachos were also very nice and not just a pile of chips with stuff dumped on top. We will be returning to dive deeper into the menu.

    Beef fajitas

    Ordered the beef fajita, this was not edible. The meat was though, flavorless, smelt bad as if it was just popped in the microwave. I left all the meat behind wouldn't even give it to my dogs. The server was nice though. Would not go back again.

    Looking for a place to eat dinner after arriving to Austin and stumbled upon this place! A true hidden gem near Pflugerville! Great outdoor patio seating and we got lucky in this Texas summer heat by getting a nice breeze today! Fun cups accompany agua frescas - flavors change seasonally but we ordered the limon con pepino (cucumber lime) and melon!! They were both delicious! Highly recommend! Authentic tortillas and homemade chips made in house accompany a delicious Bowl of queso with a dollup of guacamole!! Also highly recommend the queso and the enchiladas verdes!! I ordered the tostada, but sadly it was no bueno! The chicken inside the enchilada and the tostada were really dry...if they could make it shredded and more juicy it would definitely help! All in all, a great find in ATX!! Friendly, great service by staff as well!!

    Have had this on the list for awhile and really wanted breakfast food. Sooo, here I am. This place…read moredef has a vibe and is unique very Austin. Got parking right in front around 9 pm on a Wed. Upon entry was greeted by Melissa and sat in her section. The decor is very diner type with low, cozy booths and few tables and chairs. Not too big of a space and not sure if there is more seating elsewhere. Anyhoo, coffee was good and I got the Royal toast and a single pancake with eggs, and sausage. Ample amount of food and def had take away box. Everything was tasty and the buttermilk pancake was amazing with just syrup. Melissa was kind enough to provide little cups to take syrup home along with the tael away container. They had a daily special and a board above the kitchen with other items. Really wanted to try a slice of pie ( TX Pie Co) but seems a bit outta line with what I already ordered. Maybe next time.

We were both starving and this place is open 24/7. I drove by it for 20 years on the way to Avenue Barber Shop. I wanted shredded beef tacos but couldn't get them without cilantro so I chose shredded beef enchiladas (with an $8!) side of chips and salsa. My wife ordered scrambled eggs, bacon and home fries. She requested soft eggs, as she always does because too many places overcook them. The chips and salsa arrived. I was immediately disappointed. The menu said "we make our own chips." They were thick and yellow and appeared to be run-of-the-mill, out-of-a-bag chips. I prefer the thin white ones. I took one bite of salsa, and that was one bite too many. Cumin. I pushed it all aside. Cumin doesn't belong in salsa. (Sorry. I grew up in the Rio Grande Valley.) My enchiladas came with black beans, and there was cumin in them. Cumin is overused and abused in most restaurants. I couldn't eat them. The rice was good but the chipotle sauce on the enchiladas was not. I scraped most of the sauce off and ate one enchilada, mainly because I just needed something in my stomach. We were still 45 miles from home. I pushed my plate away. I also ordered coffee. One sip of that was all I could stand. Too weak for me. It gets worse, much worse. My wife's eggs were barely cooked. She asked the waiter for some cooked eggs. He took her plate and returned about four minutes later. The eggs were still not cooked. She tried another bite but couldn't eat them. Her bacon was tough as a boot and not chewable. The home fries were average, but by the time her plate arrived at our table for the second time, they were cold. I pulled my card out waiting for our excellent server to return. He asked how everything was (he had to notice two plates still covered with food) and we politely told him. I ate one enchilada and some rice. My wife had two bites of egg and two bites of potato. He apologized and handed me the check. $65. Nothing comped and nothing adjusted. A manager should've been summoned. How does a place like this have any customers? It was our first and last visit.

Biscuits tasted more like firm bread and not at all flaky/soft. That seemed weird to all of us. Chicken fried steak was soggy and not crispy. Drinks were ok. Not quite sure why the food was subpar, but there were 10 of us who all agreed we wouldn't return for food. There is a swanky little cozy speakeasy in the basement that may be good?

It's a small space, with only around eight tables and a tiny kitchen behind the counter. It's a bit hard to locate from outside. There's no big sign on the window indicating the restaurant's name, just a plastic A-frame sign outside the building's doors. When I got there, four of the eight tables were empty but the dirty dishes had not yet been cleared. It took close to 10 minutes for the tables to be bused. Because the kitchen is so small, I'd recommend going up to the counter to order as soon as you get there. I believe you can also place your order online using the QR code on the table, but I didn't try that method.
