First of all I have no hesitations recommending this Mexican restaurant. Starting with the complementary chips and salsa. As you can see in the photo they're like a small plate of nachos. Both the GF and I thoroughly enjoyed our entrees. I had the Tabasco combo, highly recommend. Nice family run establishment that's now my go to Mexican restaurant.

Such a pleasant experience. Don't knock it til you try it. I saw a deal on Uber and I wanted to try it...but not even the deal...the other parts of the menu! After a quick call to the restaurant...lots of helpful suggestions to get there.... Decided to have a sit down experience... With a toddler ...still enjoyed! We enjoyed one of their beers. Had the chimichanga & gringo. Complimentary nachos was a nice touch. Family owned and food came fresh. They were very welcoming. Don't let the sidewalk construction stop you...visit them! It is one of those whole in a wall places that serve well!

This place is authentic Mexican with a warm charm. Portions are fair. Flavour is on point. It's got some quirky decorations including carvings and alligator heads. The chef and the waitress were very friendly.

Great food and great service! The tamales were absolutely amazing and the portion sizes for the tacos were so generous and worth it for the price! The tres leches cake was also so moist and veryyy flavourful😭Will definitely coming back next time I’m in the area!

Last night I took my first trip to Mexico Lindo on O'Connor Drive. I walked in + was immediately taken by the genuine Mexican feel with the music playing on the television. There was a cozy looking bar with the kitchen behind it. My first order of business was to get a drink. I got a Cuba Libre which I was unaware was a rum + coke + I'm not a fan of pop because of all the sugar. Didn't finish it because of that so that was my error. I then ordered the burrito del mar (burrito of the sea) which had shrimp in it I recall. It was okay but lacked some flavor. There was also beans, a salad + rice with that which was okay as well. It could have used some lime + cilantro in my opinion. I then was given free a tres cake I believe I was told. It was quite tasty. If someone was to ask if I highly recommend this place I would say no but if they said they were hungry + wanted somewhere close by to eat I'd say yes. There are definitely other things on the menu which I have not tried so there's still room to explore with the menu.

Wow! The food was amazing, the services is fast and welcoming. The portions are big and the prices are very reasonable. The owner/chef came to greet us and really made us feel at home. We had the beef chimichangas, tacos al pastor along with lime and strawberry margaritas... and were treated to a slice of tres leches. It was an great experience!!!

We LOVED it. so yummy. we ll be back for sure. it may be our new fav local Mexican restaurant. homemade salsas and sauces. nice & spicy the way we like it (varying levels of hotness, we like it HOT). chips & salsa are served while you wait. They dont nickel & dime you for extra salsa. very friendly staff & the owner/chef even came out to meet & check everything was good. Great service that makes you feel appreciated. Just an all round great experience. went back and found it closed.. sure hope it s temporary cuz we love this place. best mexican in the area. tried another up the street and didnt like them at all. please come back soon, we miss you

What a horrible customer service experience. Decided to call the O Connor location at 8pm as I would be in East York for 9:15pm. Website said they close at 10pm. The lady on the phone said sure come over from Whitby we will wait for you until 9:30pm. Arrived at 9:15pm and the lady said we are closed. I said I I called and drove over 1 hour from Whitby? She said sorry we are closed and it was 9:15pm only. The chef/owner walked out and yelled at the lady saying we are closed and then told me sorry we are closed now. Again I said I called and you said you would wait for me? Why tell me that and make me drive 1 hour then tell me to leave? Horrible customer service. I ate there once before and found the food extremely salty. But I wanted to give them one more chance as maybe it was a one off thing and maybe today the food would taste better. Also, I remembered the chef/owner from his Kennedy and Ellesmere location where I also ate once before. But today the chef/owner was grumpy and saltier than his chimichanga. I drove all the way from Whitby to their O Connor location and arrived at 9:15pm. The website and the lady on the phone said they will be open. They wasted my time and gas. Will never return to this location. I heard stories the wife was the mean one in their divorce and subsequent openings of their other franchises. But maybe the grumpy mean ex husband is equally to blame the way he acted tonight. No wonder the place was empty.

It s a very nice restaurant overall very clean and good ambiance overall. Food was good specially the portions were decent sized compared to the prices complimentary nachos was better than most restaurants who charge for the nachos .. But the best part was their behaviour and treatment of us I ordered an Horchata (mexican drink) which I generally like.. but may be because I am pregnant I somehow didn t enjoy it today so they noticed and brought us a complimentary dessert (Tres Leches) we were very touched by it obviously But then when we asked for the check they said they also are not charging us for the drink we were in shock to be honest not many restaurants will do that specially in Toronto They really are trying so hard to make their customers happy and satisfied going above and beyond We had a very pleasant experience

I ordered birria tacos on Uber eats, and the menu said its 5 tacos in the order, but I only got 3. I called to let them know and the man who handled my call, told me it comes with 3. I had to pull up his own menu an tell him that it says 5 tacos. He said well we sent you salad rice and refried beans, I politely thanked him but explained that I didnt care for that side because I was looking for a large portion of tacos. He said well theres nothing I can do Im not sending you 2 tacos. How about next time you order Ill send you 5 tacos. I didnt have the energy to explain the nonsense behind his offer.

This is one of our go to places for Mexican. Eat in or take out, the food is excellent. The staff and friendly and authentic. And, you cannot beat the value for what you get. I do enjoy these types of quaint restaurants so I m a bit biased. It s home style cooking at its best. Much of it from scratch. Their cake is a great finisher. My fav are the chorizo plates. My wife and daughter are big fans of the taco salad. They ve been hit likely hard by the endless construction on o conner making parking pretty much impossible recently. You can park on the side streets in the neighbourhood and do the short walk to reach it.

Got horrible food poisoning immediately after eating their burrito del mar. Definitely from rancid shrimps. Food poisoning aside, everything else I got was not very good. Burrito was extremely salty. Horchata was also extremely sweet and practically inedible. This is coming from someone who loves sugar too. Don t understand the high ratings. Definitely do not recommend. Please don t cut corners with seafood, I wouldn t wish rancid seafood induced food poisoning on my worst enemy.

There are more than a couple of Mexican spots near Mexico Lindo. But this is our local favourite! Get yourself some gauc. With fresh made chips. Don t forget to Add Side of a margarita bulldog slushy! My go to entree is the gringo - 2 beef one chicken along with a side of rice n beans and salad to boot. My kiddo is crazy about the Molettes ( think garlic bread with refried beans and diced tomatoes) it s honestly incredible. Most nights the nice server will treat us to a yummy tres leches on the house. Overall just consistently a memorable meal at a cozy local family run spot. Can t go wrong!

I ordered a green sauce chicken Enchilada and it was the best one Ive ever eaten in Toronto. I had two Tecates, and at the end of our meal I was gifted a shot of tequila out of a tiny cowboy boot, which was a nice touch.

A real hidden treasure! Decor is so cute and very Mexican themed. Loved all the cool little cultural things around! Food was FABULOUS!! its so hard to find good Mexican and this tastes like a place I visited when I visited Mexico years ago. I regret not taking pictures but we were hungry!! We got the nachos app, chicken tacos, extra side of rice and the chicken burrito. I have a dairy allergy and my family doesnt and they accommodated SO perfectly! The server checked with me if it was ok to put dairy on half the nachos/not in my dish and I was grateful to be accommodated. It was delish!!!! The server gave us a slice of a flan (I think) with chocolate on it that she made herself!! It was so good my mom bought one from her. Thanks for such great food! We really enjoyed it

Foods: Great! I ordered Burrito Grande and beef Fajitas. The portion of foods are enough for 1 person of each order. We share the foods but still left for next meal. Price: reasonable and not changed from old photos. Staff/Owner: Really nice so I feel welcomed. (+Music makes me feel better)

Hidden gem of a place! Food was fresh and authentic- the chimichangas and burritos were delicious. We also tried the Pina coladas which Id definitely recommend, it tasted like they used fresh coconut. Service was excellent and they threw in an order of nachos on the house for us too!

I ve heard a lot of people rave about this place so I placed an order on my order I requested no rice, no coriander & no peppers due to an allergy & guess what they included all of them so needless to say, I m disappointed & wont ever be ordering from their again & suggest that if you have allergies or preferences, to not order food from these guys as they don t listen

I was so surprised to see this and it tasted so bad. Who in the world puts huge chunks of cucumbers and broccoli?! They werent even finely diced. So DISSAPOINTING.

You know that feeling when you go to your friends place and their mom and dad feed you this authentic delicious home style but restaurant quality meal, well that s what I had here. So much love and care goes into the service this restaurant provides. I love this place so much I don t want to tell people about it because then it ll be too busy to go myself lol. They don t try to be too fancy and break your bank, they give you a huge portion of delicious food for a fair price (they could probably charge even more) and you leave feeling full and satisfied. But wait there s more! They topped it off with this soft creamy piece of cake that s glazed with chocolate and vanilla sauce, I was so full but how do you say no to kindness and generosity, you don t. I meant to take photos of my meal but not at it so fast I forgot haha next time.

Pazole was bland. 10$ for water with a little chicken flavor. Enchiladas had a decent tortilla. Fluffy and flavorful. However, the sauce and cheese were almost non existent. Filling was mediocre at best. Not to sound pretentious but I lived in Mexico for 3 years and its amazing what passes for mexican food these days. Not sure if its cost cutting or staffing issues but will never go again. Not sure what all the rave is about. If this is passable as mexican food then power to you guys

December 22, 2022

If I could give 0 stars I would. I got delivery for a burrito was tiny, the chicken was tasteless and looked like boiled chicken, the salsa tasted like canned tomato. This is definitely not authentic Mexican food and I probably could have cooked something better. The only good thing is that the takeout container can be reused. You are better off going to chipotle.

Love this place! I ate here probably at least 30 times by now (NOT exaggerating!). Everyone I introduced this place to absolutely loves it as well. The food is all great, very authentic food, reasonably priced, the owner is so kind and they have a special hot sauce (their orange habanero hot sauce) that just makes everything taste even better! Totally recommend to anyone in Toronto!
