Mexico Lindo never disappoints. This time I ordered chicken enchiladas with mole sauce. There was a good amount of chicken in each enchilada and the chicken was well seasoned. The mole was delish if a little saltier than I wanted. The rice and beans are flavorful. I do wish the beans were less liquified; it's like a gravy rather than mashed beans. I'm not taking away a star because it's not an execution problem, but a matter of preference. I will definitely order this again. read more

Strong flavors! Cute place. Decent service. We'll be back. Be warned, if the servers say it's spicy, believe them. The red sauce is real. Chicken Tacos are a winner! read more

Honestly this place has been one of my favorites since I first had their birria tacos back in 2020. This time around I had their chilaquiles verdes with eggs and it was delicious. I also ordered carnitas tacos and they were good also but I feel like the meat wasn't as fresh as I would have wanted it but aside from that, everything else was amazing. read more

An amazing authentic Mexican restaurant. We walked into a soccer game being played on tv (people were crowded around watching the game). We quickly got our menus. The chips and salsa were brought out pretty quickly as well (this came with our meal). Ended up getting a quesadilla with pastor. It definitely didn't look like a quesadilla but I have to say this was probably the best pastor ever. This place was cash only which would have been nice to know from the beginning. Luckily, there is an ATM on premise. read more

We really enjoyed our visit here. inused to live in Mexico and the food is very authentic. The prices are very reasonable and the quality is high. Kevin, our server, was so helpful and friendly. The location can be a bit of a challenge to find but it is worth it. We're visiting from Utah but if we are in the area again, we will be back. read more

In my continued quest for the perfect Al Pastor taco my search today led me to Mexico Lindo. I first have to say that I lucked up and got a parking spot right in front of the place because trust me parking around this area is tight and there are tow signs literally every where so know before you go. The restaurant is very small. You can eat in but there are only five or six tables. The gentleman who took my order was very nice. On to the tacos. I was hoping for greatness but I just got okay. Like with Chiquita's Pizzeria and Mexican Grill, Mexico Lindo also puts sauteed onions in with the pork. I simply don't understand why you need cooked onions when you are going to garnish it with raw onions. Maybe it's a Mexican South Philly thing. In any event I took them out. There was plenty of pineapple included which I loved. There was no grilled jalapeno or radish on the side and the limes had definitely seen better days. The salsas were thin and watery but the green one had good flavor. The taste of the Pastor was acceptable but clearly my search must go on. Other than that, I would try other menu items. read more

México Lindo - Guacamole and Chips - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

I came back here because I enjoyed the fresh guacamole. I saw a sign promoting the birria tacos. Keep in mind that this restaurant is not related to Mi Pueblito truck that makes awesome birria tacos. I was greeted by super friendly lady, very welcoming. Birria tacos: the broth was salty, not too much flavor. I would rather wait an hour outside for the truck. Al pastor: small pieces of pork, missing the pineapple pieces, not too much flavor. It's a little bit salty for my taste. read more

I LOVE THIS PLACE. They always give you free chips when you dine in and service is great. Food gets to the table pretty quick and everything is always well-plated. The place itself is really clean and you can see the cooks making your food. I got chorizo tacos for $10 and birria for $15 and they are amazing. Never getting tacos anywhere else but Mexico Lindo read more

México Lindo - Chorizo Tacos and Birria Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Good, not great. Given the proliferation of mexican joints in the neighborhood, I'd probably roll the dice again and see if we could find a spot that matched what we had in CO, NM. or AZ. Maybe it's more "authentic" than what we're used to, and we're not talking Taco Bell, but it was okay... nothing to complain about, but nothing to rave about either. read more

My friend and I came here before heading to Bok Bar and had a delicious, filling meal! We split an order of chips and guacamole. The guacamole was sooooo fresh, with tons of lime in it. I ordered the Mushroom Quesadillas, which were really delicious. I do wish they had come with a salsa or something else acidic to cut through the richness from the mushrooms and cheese. My friend got the chicken enchiladas which he really enjoyed, and I was jealous that his dish came with rice and refried beans! I definitely recommend stopping by for a bite to eat before/after hitting up Bok Bar! read more

What does a one $ sign, fabulous food in a pleasant setting and great service warrant? A 5 Star review!!! That's cute, authentic and amazing Mexican BYOB did the trick for us in filling our bellies on this beautiful summer evening. All 3 of us Ordered the Carnitas which were shredded pork with a side of cactus, beans and rice and guac and chips. Everything was fresh and homemade and you could taste the love. I felt like my mama had made me a great big wonderful dinner. And we got to try cactus! The only other time the three of us that had cactus was when we had cactus martinis in the Grand Canyon. The free chips and salsa were refilled each time our server saw them go low. 3 ate heartily for $46 including 2 sodas. Great experience in this wonderful South Philly Mexican restaurant. We are going back soon read more

It's our all time favorite Mexican restaurant. I used to think that suburban Mexican restaurants were good. Now after eating here at least once every 2 weeks and comparing it to places i used to like, I don't like suburban Mexican places anymore! The food is always great, hits the spot and is freshly made in front of you. On top of that, it's a BYOB and the owners are always super nice!! read more

Absolutely amazing food! The owners are super welcoming and friendly. We got the tinga de Pollo tostadas and the Birria Tacos and let me tell you we were stuffed after our meal. This place is cash only so make sure you bring some with you! read more

I will absolutely be back to this authentic Mexican BYOB! I wanted to go here because I could see that it needed a little encouragement on yelp! I wanted to go and give it my fair try and chance for a good review! And they certainly didn't disappoint! Ambience- wise, it is adorable in there! And the bathroom is very clean! The staff was super friendly! But the place was empty. I went at 7 PM on a Thursday night. One or two Hispanic man came in, and so did a family of seven, but then they left when they saw that the place was on the lighter side that night. My date and I wanted to stay and enjoy ourselves! And we certainly did! We brought in wine, and they gave us wine glasses. I ordered the chicken and steak mixed fajitas, and my date ordered Enchiladas. The portion sizes were great, and the temperature was even better! The chicken was a little bit salty but tasted delicious mixed with the sweet peppers and onions that were cooked to perfection. Next time, I will ask for more tortillas! My date liked the enchiladas! Only comment was that the chicken might be on the dry side. Salsa Verde was a sauce of choice! They also serve as complementary chips and salsa! One was spicier than the other so it complemented my date and my taste buds very well! Overall, I will definitely go back here for Mexican food! Next I will try the tacos, but I'm sure they will be superb! $24 for a lovely date night! Thanks México Lindo! read more

Welcoming service, amazing burritos, cute and bright interior for a hole-in-the-wall. PROS: There is no breakfast burrito on menu, but they do have breakfast and burritos, so at 1pm the lovely woman taking my order talked to the chef who agreed to make me one with basically anything I wanted. It's unclear whether they do breakfast all day, or decided "why not?!" since the place was entirely empty. We settled on egg, chorizo, beans, tomato, onion, cheese, and sour cream ($10). Far from the ones reminiscent of LA that I'm seeking, but I love the flexibility and willingness! This thing was big, full of eggs and chorizo, super fresh, and had amazing flavor! The al pastor burrito (con todos, $10) and the salsa verde are both knockouts as well! CONS: Eventually, I ate it all :( There's a reason this place has 5 stars; come experience it! read more

I stopped in the other day to order some takeout tacos. Initially I was a little skeptical because it was about 8pm, there was only 1 other person in there eating, and they told me my order of 3 orders of tacos and guac was going to take 25 minutes (it did not look like they were busy at all, so I was definitely surprised by the wait time) Well as it turns out...it was well worth the wait! This place was awesome. We got an order of Tacos al Pastor, Shrimp tacos, chorizo tacos and Guacamole w/ chips. Yes, might be a hole in the wall, but wow, the flavor in those tacos was outstanding. Overall, I would definitely come back. See below for the individual food reviews below: Shrimp tacos 5/5: These were my favorite item of the order. The shrimp were charred perfectly on the grill. They came with some sort of awesome sauce that really gave a nice POP of flavor to it and even came with a slice of avocado on top. Al Pastor Tacos 4/5: Again, a great char on the pork. It was topped with onion and cilantro and just tasted awesome. The only feedback I have is that I wish it had some more pineapple on it. The piece it had was SO small and barely even noticed it. Chorizo Tacos 3/5: Not as flavorful as the other tacos, but still pretty good. There was a good amount of meat on each taco so that was a plus Guac 4/5: This was pretty good. It definitely taste fresh (it was green, which is always better than brown!) and had a ton of lime and cilantro in it. Price 3/5: Our 3 sets of tacos (3 tacos per order) and Guac + chips came to about $35, which is about average. I pretty much expect to pay $3 per taco nowadays. Sauces 3/5 : They gave a green sauce + red sauce + limes with each order of tacos. The green sauce was my favorite of the two, because it was spicy but not too spicy. Hard to wrong with limes ago. read more

Most authentic tacos I've had in Philadelphia! Steps away from Bok Bar so it's great for some post beer eats. Other than that, it is quite far away. Owner and waitresses mostly spoke Spanish so ordering was a bit difficult, though their menu is very self explanatory. My friend had the vegetarian burrito ($9) and I got chicken and pork tacos ($6). Meat was tender, well seasoned, and the portion size was perfect. They are CASH ONLY. There is an ATM but at the moment, neither me nor my friend had cash/debit card and we found this out after we had devoured the food (oops). The owner was way more understanding than expected and I promised to pay him with cash the next morning. We somewhat shoke on that contract and left. Without paying. Yup. They were super chill and trusting like that. Can't get any more mom and pop shop feel than that Anyways, irrelevant to the review but FYI I did bike back a good 30 mins the next day from West Philly and delivered my dues in cash. The owner was surprised I had actually kept up my promise since he looked shocked and thanked me profusely for paying. Thanks for a great home cooked meal, Maribel! (Now Mexico Lindo) read more

México Lindo - Chicken and pork tacos ($6) - Mexican Near Me - Philadelphia, Pennsylvania

Maribel has changed their name, but the delicious flavor and friendly service have stayed the same. I find myself returning here often for their Mexico City style quesadillas. If you have never had this, or even if you have, it's a must order! It's a homemade crispy masa dough that is fried and stuffed with Oaxaca cheese, a protein of your choice or mushrooms, lettuce, cream, and a little queso fresco on top. Then I add some of their homemade green and red salsa for a little heat. The ingredients come together in perfect harmony, but the crispy texture of the shell is what really makes it. When I first started ordering them, I got mushrooms because I would share a chicken dish with my husband too, so I wanted to change things up. Recently, I've been going because of my quesadilla craving and ordering them on my own. The first time I did this, I ordered chicken. It was pretty tasty grilled chicken, but I preferred the mushrooms. The second time I ordered it as tinga de pollo and ended up with the delicious well seasoned shredded chicken that is in their tostadas that I love so much. So please make sure you specify which one you're after when you order! I also found out that they can make this dish grilled as well. I am always tempted to try it, but the super crispy fried corn dough is always calling my name. If someone gets around to trying it, please let me know. I am just too addicted to the original at the moment! read more

Lindo is a cash-only, BYO Mexican place with a few tables inside. They were decorated for fall which was really cute! I think overall the food was solid but not totally delicious.

Great Passyunk neighborhood locale off 8th and Moore. We had the Burrata taco specials- $16 for three with cilantro and dipping sauce. More than enough to have for dinner and a snack. There are six tables for 2 and six for four. We did takeout - and heated up at home and still so tasty. Looking forward to more yummy tacos. read more

This is my husband and my go-to place for Mexican food. It is simplify amazing and the prices are unmatched in the whole city. They are cash-only, but what local place isn't in south philly? They do take a bit to make your food, but that is because everything is freshly made when you order. They are also byob, so bring some drink, have some conversation, and enjoy some amazing food. The staff is also super nice and will explain any specialties you don't typically find in "americanized" Mexican restaurants. I wish I could give this place more than 5 stars. read more

This place is a hidden gem. I'm not sure why it's not slammed. The food is good and fresh. Their Birria tacos are just as delicious as any of the hyped places around without the lines or high prices. This place has no lines and their prices are average. Definitely recommended. read more

While visiting a friend, she ordered takeout from here, and it was amazing! My friend didn't realize the restaurant name and menu had changed at first; I believe they used to be called 'Maribel'. I ordered the chicken enchiladas with salsa verde. The chicken was so tender, and the sauce was so flavorful. The beans and rice on the side were delicious as well. By the time I was finished, my carton was pretty much empty. I didn't try them but my friend and her family raved about the chips and guacamole. The restaurant itself is located on the corner of Moore Street. There are a few tables in there for a sit-down meal. Oh, and they're cash only! I'll definitely be back to try something else on the menu. read more

Went for dinner with my family tonight; for a place that doesn't look like much, it was an absolute top notch experience. My boyfriend and I both got tacos (3/$9); he had the brisket which was super tender and delicious, I had Al Pastor which were probably some of the best Al Pastor I have had outside of actually eating it Mexico. So simple, but exceptional. My dad had Carne Asada, and brother had the enchiladas - both were very happy with their meals as well. Service was great, food was fresh and delicious, and we left full and happy. No frills, just everything done well and done right. Would 100% go back and 100% recommend. read more

Found this business on Yelp when looking for an affordable BYO in walking distance. The service was great and the food even better! I had the enchiladas en salsa roja and it was very spicy, but delicious. When I ordered it the server said, "are you sure? It's very hot", so I was a little nervous but it was great. Came with a side of rice and beans too. Delicious! Cash only but has an ATM inside with a $2 fee. read more
