Food was alright what I like they gave appetizer first some chips and beans and the soup I ordered the Assad burrito and was delicious just the fact the they took a lil bit of time to bring our food but other than that is a cool place

Never again! I had two margaritas. The first was a banana margarita that had no flavor. The second was a coconut margarita that had three live, decorative ants. Of course, I did not drink it. The chilaquiles were made with tortilla strips!!! Worst of all, the food was nearly flavorless. The restaurant itself is decorated nicely and the staff are friendly. After confirming the ants in my drink, management comped my meal. Never again will I set foot on this place.

This place is very meh for me. I went there the other night for the first time and was severely unimpressed with the food. One of my favorite things about going to a Mexican restaurant is the chips and salsa, but was soooooo let down with how bad theirs was. Just a nasty chip with a dark red sauce that you can tell is just chili powder. My GF and I tried several items on two combo plates, and nothing stood out. Just all very mediocre. The one good thing about our experience was the service. The service was amazing. The guys watching our group were on their game, and really impressed us. So if I could, I would give 5 stars for service and 1 star for food. If I could give my rating an over all 2.5 stars I would.

While Lindo is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas, I prefer to skip this location and go to the one in Henderson. The food is still good here, although it is better in Henderson, my friends shrimp salad had about 3 shrimps on it and every time she gets it at the other location it is LOADED with shrimp, including when we went last night. This location all feels more cozy and crowded, the tables are close together and I felt very in the way of the servers just sitting in my chair. They had a mariachi band that I could not stand, not that I mind the tradition music, it's just that this restaurant is set up like 3 small rooms so they went from room to room singing and because each room is so small is was RIDICULOUSLY loud. Also there would be other music playing in the other rooms so by the end of the night I had a migraine. All I all, I do recommend Lindo, but if you don't mind the drive, head to Green Valley.

Everytime we visit Vegas we fill up here. Great cure for a hangover, aguachiles, michelada, and oysters. Everything is so good and taste so fresh. Maybe its the booze but I am always impressed with their food, service, and authenticity. It's off the strip but most cab drivers know it. They also offer you free transportation back to your hotel if it is available!!

Great restaurant pretty large portions got three very stuffed tacos for about $14. We also ordered the table guacamole where some guy made guacamole right in front of our table! The service was fast also. And the tacos Tasted good.

For the first time, reviews are actually accurate! Sauces on every dish are tasty and great.. Carnitas, pollo sarandiado, guac, cabrito stew, fish tacos all winners. This one has been bookmarked! We'll be back

As my Californian friend said, she only eats Mexican food when she's back in LA. Well, here in Vegas, which is close to LA, I've discovered that I can find a good authentic Mexican restaurant east of LA. My recommendation is the shrimp with their special chili pepper sauce and the carne tampiquena. Their tortillas are freshly made and best of all, the price is right!

Stephanie M.

Awesome atmosphere and very friendly and courteous staff. The food is good and serves decent portions. I do think that the food is overpriced, it's mostly beans and rice on the plate and a portion of your choosing (i.e shrimp, steak, or chicken). The fact that it's mostly beans and rice on the plate is always what gets to me when it comes to the pricing. Also the steak usually has a lot of fat on it and the shrimp is always extremely over cooked which makes it chewy and rubbery.

I am always looking for a good place to take relatives from out of town. Somewhere that is only in Vegas and not a chain. My Cousin was visiting from out of town and we went here on a Friday for lunch. The parking lot was very full so I was worried there would be a long wait. We were greeted at the door and immediately seated. We were given chips, salsa and bean dip right away. They were nice and fresh. Our drink orders were taken and delivered and our food came out really fast! I had the lunch enchilada special. It was very tasty. The service and food were excellent! I will definitely come back!

Everything about this place is great! The ambiance, the margaritas, and definitely the food. It's always hard to decide, but I've never been let down. Tableside guacamole is Amazingly fresh and you're never ignored by the busser or server, there's always someone to give you more chips...which disappear quickly. This is also a great place to go for a birthday because who doesn't like a sombrero and tequila shot for their birthday!!!

I love this place! Yum, yum, yum! Salsa: yum, Chips: yum. I had two cheese enchiladas, 1 red, 1 green - with rice. I loved every bit of it. Plus, had a sopailla for the first time. It was delicious. A+. Good find Vaughn.

My family was craving authentic Mexican food, I have lived in Las Vegas for about 5 years, always passed by this place and shame on me for not stopping!! When we walked in, my family was greeted right away. Seated, chips red salsa and refried beans. I'm not a fan of red salsa so I asked if they had green salsa. OMG it was heaven!! Absolutely delicious!! They have 36 lunch specials that include a soft drink at reasonable prices. My 2 kids received fideo soup, very nice jester to keep the kids from screaming or crying before their food comes out. I had the carnitas when I tell you they melt in your mouth, they really melt in your mouth!! Incredible flavor!! My hunny had the 2 item cheese quesadilla and shredded beef taco. He gave me a bite. It was delicious! In the back in the middle section there is a lady handmaking tortillas, I wanted to kiss her...lol they were that good! Will definitely be back and spread the word about this wonderful place!!

Excellent food, service, and ambiance. I loved it. We had a very attentive server along with an attentive busboy who was always there if we needed refills or more chips and salsa (and beans, whoa!) My mom and I shared the chicken fajitas, and it was delicious. Their guacamole is GREAT, and so are their handmade tortillas (even the corn ones are handmade!) The ambiance is great too, it reminds me of Casa Guadalajara in San Diego a little bit. I would come back the next time I visit Vegas in a heartbeat!

Karina V.

This place is a joke, we order carnitas and they had no flavor at all. We also order the lamb stew and its tasted like tomatoes juice, with no flavor. These are very traditional dishes with bold flavors but they missed the mark. The only thing I enjoyed was the habanero sauce I asked for to try to cover the bland taste of the food although the sauce itself was bland. If your looking for authentic this is not the place and top of it its overprice. Save your time and money and go to a mom & pop shop. (Service is excellent)

The best authentic Mexican restaurant I have ever been to and experienced! Went there two nights in a row during our weekend stay in Las Vegas. The CamarÃ³nes del Diablo and the Chilis Rellenos were amazing and very filling! If you come hungry you will leave very happy!!!

This is a Mexican restaurant with class and style. We were greeted at the door with a smile and hospitality. Although you may order the typical dishes you would see at other Mexican restaurants, our table ordered some of the more unusual items such as Buey Al Cilantro (rib eye with verde sauce) and Carnitas a la Coca-Cola (pork cooked in Coke). The flavors were great. Service was pleasant and prompt. Not impressed with the cramped width between our booth and a nearby table of twenty nor the AC blowing directly on us. Why the 5 stars? For focus on the customer. We had a $15 cab ride from the LVH to the restaurant but were delightfully surprised to be offered a ride back to our hotel via their own shuttle at the end of the meal (no charge). Good job!

Well I was very disappointed,especially after hearing this place had been in this location for 25 years. My carne asada burrito was anything but authentic. Instead of marinated shredded beef it had bits of beef that had been way over cooked. You could chew and chew and nothing would happen. I suggest that you stick to Chevy's. My wife's enchilada was so salty she couldn't eat it. Oh ya, drinks are way overpriced too.

Coming from California and having so many amazing Mexican Food in L.A...this spot was pretty good. The ambiance was super cool! I was totally digging the mariachi. For me drinks/cocktails are important and they sure as heck passed the test on that. They serve bean dip, salsa and chips as soon as you arrive. I like that! It was pretty authentic considering that this restaurant is in Vegas. For dinner I had the chicken enchiladas w/green sauce. They were Delish! Just make sure you ask for your soup or salad if it comes with your meal because they forgot to serve me mine and I didn't realize it until I was already in the car. Regardless, I'll definitely try it again when I'm in town & craving Mexican food. Enjoy!

ok i heard that this place was awesome as the food and service so i took my girlfriend to eat there and the place is nice and the service is amazing BUT the food was disgusting I expected something better as most of the people say that its an amazing place but the food is just horrible this restaurant serves mexican food if the food they serve is mexican then tacobell is the place to eat if you dont know about mexican food then you should try another places so you can get a better idea of the real mexican food plus if you like to pay for the service and not for your food then you'll be fine in my case ill pay dont matter the price as long as the food is delicious something that this place doesnt offer thats just my idea

If your in Vegas and want to enjoy traditional Mexican food this place is worth the visit.. Sopitos steak Chorizo and the griditos de canaron is worth ordering.

Whenever, and I mean, whenever I am in Vegas, I visit Lindo Michoacan. Everyone I have recommended is a loyal customer. Let's start with, you can call the restaurant, and as long as you have more than 2 people, they will pick you up and drop you off. Once you enter, it's a nice soft light setting. I suggest sitting on the side where the one man live entertainment is located, it adds a bit of an ambiance. Once your seated, you're provided amazing chips, with a refried bean dip as well as a salsa. Order the Pina Colada, I guarantee you will not be disappointed. I had the Chicken Fajitas, such a plentiful serving and tasteful meal. I am unsure, but I do believe their tortillas are freshly made. In the past, I have had their shrimp, which is also delicious. Their service is phenomenal, they have a team of servers that stand by, waiting to help. I can see why they have been voted a top restaurant, they never falter, and in every visit, I am guaranteed great food, time, and experience. I must recommend you celebrate yours or your family birthday here, YOU WILL NEVER FORGET IT! I need to end this review, I am becoming hungry and Vegas is far away!

Stop by this place on a Saturday night. The place was nice, the atmosphere was good, and our waiter was on top of our refills. The bad, our waiter took our order but forgot to place it to the cook, so it took about 20mim to finally get our food. When our food finally came out, my plate was totally the wrong plate. At this point the waiter and manager offer to get me what I had order but I did not feel like waiting another 10-20 min for the plate I had originally order. I would try it again but this night I left very disappointed that I did not get the food I order.

THE WORST Mexican Food ever!!! Not sure why this place had such raving reviews! Bland food, over priced and crap service! Feel like throwing up literally - no wonder they have a free shuttle service from the strip!! Just can't get over such awful mexican food - it has really put me off mexican food - even Chipotle serves better tasting Mexican food!! STAY AWAY

Always a "must eat" whenever we're in Vegas. This is such a fun place with a menu that you can't go wrong with. Everything we've eaten here has always been sabroso! Here are some tips: 1) Love the bean dip & Salsa 2) I'm not usually a fan of ordering chicken at restaurants but they have some awesome chicken dishes 3) Mango Margarita...yummm Service is always fantastic and sometimes they even have live music :)

I really, REALLY wanted to like this place. I really did. The raves from my personal friends, all the reviews here on Yelp... I promise you, I had high hopes. But overall, it was just average. I will admit that I am a bit "Southern California persnickety" about my Mexican food, but have a pretty good tolerance for even bad Mexican food. It's grease and meat and cheese and hot sauce -- what's not to love? Sadly, the food here was neither good, nor bad, it just... was. Bland is the closest adjective I can give it. The salsa was bizarre and had strange tangy-ness that was unexpected and off putting. The consistency was kind of like Cholula hot sauce, not a true salsa. The beans were beans, on the loose side, like a dip. Pretty decent, better than the salsa. The chips were fine. We each ordered fajitas, he steak and I chicken with flour tortillas. The steak, I swear to you, had no flavor at all. It just tasted like cooked meat. The chicken had slightly more flavor, but really, nothing to write home about. We saw spices on it, but strangely, there were none on our tongues. There was no zing, no heat, no depth, it was just... food. Now, the tortillas -- those were awesome. Really good tortillas, freshly made. Where they lacked in the flavor department, they did make up for in service. While we were initially forgotten after being seated way in the back by the toilets, after we reminded them we existed, they were extra attentive. Overly so, even. I think they could tell that we didn't love our food, as we asked for a box after just a few bites (I decided to try my hand at improving upon the leftovers the next day.) So they were very concerned about us being happy. We said we were and smiled and nodded -- we just didn't have the heart to tell them we thought their food was mediocre. :( They brought us extra hot tortillas to go, at no additional cost, so we were very appreciative and tipped accordingly. The meal itself was pretty pricey for a mexican restaurant, in my opinion. $15-$20 a person -- maybe that's the going rate, but I'm used to more $10-$15 a plate, the high end for fajitas. Our bill, without alcohol was $49, not including tip, pretty high for 2 orders of fajitas, if you ask me, but maybe I'm just that old fart recalling how it used to be a quarter to go to the movies. I don't know. Anyway, I feel bad for not being totally in love with them. What they lacked in flavor, they made up for in customer service, so 3 stars it is.

Saw this place was Yelp's #1 Mexican Restaurant in Las Vegas, and headed over to try it out. 8 PM on a Saturday and we could see the place was packed as we walked past the windows - started wondering whether we should have made a reservation. However, they were able to seat us immediately, which was nice. The interior is quite large, and subdivided into about 3 or 4 different rooms. There is smoking in a small bar area that has a few video poker machines, but the smoke doesn't travel beyond it very far. The walls and ceiling are festooned with various pots, artwork, and miscellaneous Mexicana; it is like a Mexican T.G.I. Friday's. Service was speedy, accurate, friendly, and didn't miss a beat. We started with the guacamole dip, which is hand-made to-order in front of your table. GF thought there was too much cilantro flavor, but I liked it. Food portions were generous (neither of us was able to finish our meals), though I wish there had been a little more zing to it. It was good, without being great, if you follow me. Anyway, our experience was a happy one, and if the food hadn't been missing that certain "something," it would have been 5 stars. Maybe next visit.

AWESOME...AWESOME...AWESOME! HUGE portions! Great prices...pretty darn good (not perfect, but good) service. I would go back in a second! Gave us a free ride (paid them a "donation") back to our hotel about 10 min away. My only complaint: the stupid music players. OK...it is someone's birthday..play them a song and sing and move on. We were there with another couple and could not even talk for literally almost 20 minutes because these guys kept on playing and singing in the main room right beside us. This is NOT for a social dinner. I honestly, seriously...honestly almost asked them to shut up and let us eat/talk.

Before heading back to L.A we wanted to have lunch and we wanted Mexican food. We didn't want to go to the strip so we found this place thru yelp.. Everything from the decor to the people that work there is great.. The service is exceptional... Your drink is not even half way when someone is already replacing it.. Food is great, very good portions. They place chips, beans and salsa while ur seating down deciding what to order. We ask for the guacamole n ohh it's fresh n so delicious you can't stop eating it. You got to try this place.. Whenever I'm in Vegas, I will definitely go again.

The food here is fairly tasty and the service is good. Mainly, I lowered the rating because of the ridiculous pricing. I am from a border town in Texas where just about anything on Lindo's menu would sell for $12 or less. A plate of chile Verde shouldn't be 20$. We aren't on the strip and there is no valet parking. The only way I would consider going back is for lunch, where many of their plates are nearly half price. The portions aren't extraordinary either. If you're a tourist from the midwest and Mexican food is scarce, you will love this place. Personally I'd go across the street to the restaurant in the La Bonita grocery store and stop by the bakery on the way out.

Went here with a friend who is as crazy about Mexican food as I am, and neither of us were disappointed. Their hot sauce wasn't hot enough for him, so they brought out some of their super-scorching ghost pepper sauce. My friend loved it. The burritos were huge. The quesadillas made homestyle. The service was impeccable, despite having a number or large groups there that day. We will definitely be back.

Steve C.

I love Mexican food and this place is the bomb! Went in a party of five. Everyone got something different and everyone loved their meal. Best Mexican food I've had anywhere. The service was excellent - friendly and helpful. The price of our meal came out to less than what we paid for our hotel's crap dinner buffet and was of far better quality. It's worth traveling off the strip for that's for sure.

Found this Gem on yelp & could hardly wait to eat after drinking all night. We walk in & were greeted by EVERYONE. Which is sets a good vibe. We sat down & were immediately served Chips, Salsa & Refried Beans. The waiters are all men (more traditional in Mexican restaurant service in my opinion and sets a more professional visual) anyway, each of them were efficient & diligent in cleaning up tables, refilling waters, supplying napkins, basically in any & all assistance. However, & I also personally like this, the manager or one of them took our Oder himself, delivered our drinks, served us some kind of soup (we didn't order, it's complimentary) & then brought my BF a second serving. The manager himself then served us our food & when my BF asked if he could have some extra carrots in his soup he smiled happily & genuinely then brought a bowl filled with broth & carrots to our table. We were EXTREMELY PLEASED at this point. Our drinks were refilled, our chips were refilled & salsa too throughout our eating experience. You definitely don't feel like they are struggling to not waste food, they were very generous that way. The manager came & checked up on us at least twice, not too invasive either. It was all I could do to not tell him how wonderful everything was over & over - because it really was!! The food was spectacular. I ordered Shrimp fajitas & you can't really mess that up, except if you don't clean your shrimp - ew! My shrimp were cleaned & Deviened they way they should be, I was so happy!! Both my BF & I received tortillas of our choice with our meals & we both orders flour. These tortillas were SO FRESH, there was literally light leftover flour on my hands!!!!! They were soft, so soft & warm, perfectly prepared! I'm not a total snob trust me, I do not expect perfection however that is exactly what kind of service this place distributes to their guests - PERFECTION!! The entire restaurant was clean, tidy & continually being cleaned as well. When we were done with our food we said goodbye to everyone again, shook the managers hand, then I personally thanked him for a beyond wonderful dining experience. I told him I would be back again. Hey when your on vacation (who isn't on vacation minutes away from the strip, everyone is) you want to have a good time, especially if your on vacation with your man or woman. This place increased the fun & satisfaction of our trip!! Thank you again!!!!! WE WILL BE BACK!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

God I love Mexican food and it doesn't get any better than Lindo. I have been here so many times and it is a Las Vegas staple. I had my 18th birthday here. I have taken people here just for the specific purpose of introducing them to the incredibly flavorful, spicy salsa. The amazing Coca-Cola Carnitas. The oyster appetizers and the FANTASTIC made right at your table guacamole. Oh - they make it to your specifications! Add on top of all this a great mixed drink selection. Original margaritas are ALWAYS good. The meats are all marinated and delicious. One of my favorites to get is the pork with green chili sauce. HEAVEN ON YOUR TASTEBUDS. They are BUSY on Friday and Saturday nights, just so you are aware. The lines can often go out the door. However, even without reservations the staff at Lindo are quickly helping get people in the door and in seats, rather than standing around waiting for food. The ambiance can be a bit loud if you are here on busy nights because they tend to get large parties and remember - there could be a loud mariachi band playing right next to your table at times. The last time I came here our waiter was great. Our chips were never not filled. Our drinks were consistently refilled and our meals were delicious. I ate almost ALL of my food, which is crazy, but I was hungry. If I could eat here all the time, I would, but um... I can't because I don't want to weigh 350 lbs.

I haven't been to this location in a LONG TIME! I tend to frequent the one on Carnegie in Henderson or the one that's less than 5 minutes from my house in Summerlin. Place was packed on a Friday night, and there seemed to be an overwhelming number of people celebrating their birthdays this night! The food was good. I ordered the vegetarian burritos and they were awesome! The server was pretty good too. Paid good attention to how we were behaving at the table. Checking on us quickly in the beginning, but noticed we were too busy conversing so switched to checking on us every ten minutes or so. I also think he had a thing for my date, as he never really looked at me when he came to check on us! lol! All good. Just shows he has good taste! All in all, a great experience and I would eat here again, but have to be honest when I say I'd go to Carnegie or West Flamingo locations first. Nothing against this location, just my preference of area and atmosphere.

Supposedly this place is a big deal. Luckily, on a random weekday, there was no wait. The hostess is dressed in a ... errrrr ... festive fashion (I'm glad my hostessing days are over. And never required a uniform.) The menu is extensive. Seriously, any place that has more than five dishes with lengua is a winner in my book. The wait staff was alert and prompt. The food was delicious and of large enough portions so that I had enough for a second meal (did I mention I love leftovers?). The best part, though, was the margaritas. Absolutely delicious and come in two sizes. I got the regular size which already looked huge, but then I had two so maybe I could've pulled off the large size. Though I was admittedly quite drunk after my two margaritas; tequila tends to sneak up on me like that. Their happy birthday is quite festive and involves what appeared to be a mariachi band; I would enjoy bringing someone who is embarrassed by public announcements of their birthday to this place.

Visited Lindo for lunch today. I hadn't been there in a while but I noticed that their wait staff was much more attentive. Everyone greeted us with a smile and seemed happy to work there. A restaurant can have great food but it's the service that will always get me to come back!

Wow, what a place! A huge menu that is quite a task to figure out where to start and for me I ended up with the Carnitas - lean pork marinated with fresh oranges and spices. Served with chiles toreados, green sauce, and guacamole and was very happy indeed. Service was super fast and very friendly and the entertainment was fun as well. Located far enough off the strip to make you forget you are still in Vegas is a big plus too. Between the birthday's being celebrated and the bride and groom coming in with their wedding party after getting married it all made for a fun evening that was just the right balance of loud and peaceful. We did not take advantage of it -- and nor did I know it existed until we saw it when we left but the amazing part is: Our Desert Inn location, Just 10 Minutes From The Las Vegas Strip offers a free shuttle service from the Las Vegas Strip for our out of town guests! Call 702.735.6828 to make a reservation. Now that is service!!!

Food was good (not outstanding but good) and so was the margarita. This is the style of mexican restaurant where tourists gathered, music is loud and the staff sing along for birthdays. Not the authentic kind but the kitschy ones. Had a good time but would not have picked it myself.

This place has the best customer service I have ever experienced. I have been here several time, and the day after New Years I brought my sister to experience this place for herself. She was very amazed with the attentiveness of the waiter. As soon as we got there we received our chips, salsa and beans. All the food keeps getting refilled at half full, the menu is very good. We had four different plates ordered and all of them were delicious. Even though this place is not on the strip it is worth the extra miles to get good authentic Mexican food. Guacamole is made on the spot with all fresh ingredients, the staff makes you feel at home they are super friendly and make you feel at home. Service is fast. Free refills on traditional Mexican drinks (nonalcoholic, of course). All these things keep us coming back. The flan does have a strong rum flavor and is too sweet for our taste.

Their ceviche is to die for along with their tableside guacamole service. Love this place...

The service is great, guacamole was good, tried a mango margarita which is also good. I had a wet carnitas burrito which wasn't amazing but not bad, I'd come back if friends wanted to.

I travel the Western States frequently, and I lived in Vegas for a couple years... This is by far my absolute most favorite Mexican Restaurant ever! Over the last 15 years, I have sent friends, co-workers, and family to this business - and I have always received nothing but compliments on the suggestion. After I moved back to Washington, I would come into town every 5 to 8 months for work, and of course this is where I'm going for dinner... I would head to the bar, and the bartender would ask, Carne Asada as usual... NICE!! While I lived in Vegas I did go there for lunch or dinner at least 3 times a week, but I was stunned when she remembered me and my order from several months earlier... The one on DI (Desert Inn & Eastern) is the original. I guess the family peeled off and opened a few others around Vegas, but I like this one the best... Cheers!

Place was bomb, second time here. I ordered the machaca and can't complain about anything. All the staff was super friendly!

Their carne asada enchiladas are the best I've ever eaten anywhere EVER, their chips & salsa are A+ and their appetizer soup is delicious. I'll be coming here whenever I'm in Vegas for the rest of my life...

Rj G.

Staff very attentive and friendly. Had the ensalada supreme, with chicken. All was fresh and tasty. Only complaint: it was a lot more chicken than salad, but considering the opposite often happens at other places, I guess that's not much of a complaint.

Monica L.

Excellent food, service and musica. I went in on a Friday night for dinner and it was a packed house. The food was super delicious. I ordered a carne asada burrito, which by the way was HUGE! The meat was so good, it was some good ol' steak without the fat, which was awesome. If you're ever in Vegas and want some authentic Mexican food, try Lindo Michoacan. Only one con, the horchata is fake. I only drink REAL horchata but other than that, excellent.

D G.

This place is awesome. Our waiter Christian was great. The guac is made table side and is beyond good. I ordered tacos de carne asada and was blown away. Everything came out above and beyond what we thought and we were very happy with the meal. Will definitely come back the next time in Vegas.

Cameron S.

Overall one of the best Mexican places I've had in Vegas. Since re-locating here I've had some problems finding a good value when it comes to meals. Lindo has become a "go to" place for me and many of my friends because of the portion size and affordable price. I normally get a simple combo plate for around $15. This place does not try to be fancy and flashy which is another reason I'm attracted to it.

Loren F.

What a beautiful restaurant. The colorful tile, the fountain, the artwork, the stained glass window... Very authentic. Guacamole made fresh and to order at the table. The homemade tortillas were hot and delicious. We had attentive service for our group of 10 during lunch rush- they even let us order on separate checks. Food was served quickly and to order. Drinks were refilled often.The employees seemed to really enjoy working there. I saw a place for a live band and a very well stocked bar.. I will be back to enjoy that!

Let me preface this by saying I'm a vegetarian who loves Mexican food. It's pretty difficult to find a good vegetarian dish that isn't just full of cheese at an authentic Mexican restaurant, but this place was great! It had tons of options, and the food was very tasty! The restaurant itself is pretty casual, nothing fancy at all -- pretty typical of most authentic restaurants. We were served Chips, Salsa and this AWESOME bean dip when we got there. The salsa had a nice kick to it too! My Co-worker ordered a margarita that tasted excellent, and I had a glass of Sangria, which was also decent. Both of us being huge fans of Guac, we had to order the Guacamole. Our server brought out all of the ingredients, from the whole avocado, to the lime and cilantro, and made the Guacamole right in front us! It doesn't get any fresher than that! He even asked as us how spicy we like it, so he could cut the right amount of jalapeÃ±o for us. For dinner, I ordered a vegetarian enchilada and a taco. The enchilada was full of fresh veggies, so it wasn't so cheesy, which was really nice. The meal also came with beans and rice, so you get really good amount for the price. If you're in Vegas, you can't leave without coming here!!

This place is the worst. They take reservations and then you arrive and they refuse to honor it and say it's an hour wait for walk ins.

If you are looking for good Mexican food, don't come here. If you are looking for great Mexican food and authentic atmosphere this is the place. The exterior of the building at this location just looks like almost any other building. But once you walk inside you can see the love put into the decorations throughout the interior. I have been to many Mexican restaurants that go way overboard with decorations to look authentic and just look like stereotypical. From the moment my wife and I walked in we well taken care of. We were seated quickly. Beverages were brought quickly. And we never lacked for a quick refill of our drinks. Our waiter was very friendly and answered all of our questions. This is some of the best service we have received at not just any restaurant but anywhere. Go to any Mexican Restaurant and you will find the menu loaded with Tacos, Burritos, Nachos, Enchiladas, and Taco Salads. Lindo Michoacan has some of these on the menu, but they are a very small portion. Some of the items on the menu are Pollo al Mojo de Ajo, Chili Verde and Colorado, Camarones Rancheros and much more. My wife and I ended up ordering the same item. We both got a Chili Lime Chicken. This came with a side of beans and rice and also came with flour or corn tortillas made on site. They came out fresh and hot. They were full of flavor and complemented the rest of the meal. The chicken was flavorful as well and had the right amount of tang with the lime squeeze. So there is Mexican food and truly authentic Mexican Food. This is the real deal and now my favorite Mexican Restaurant.

Joana F.

What could I possibly say about this place that hasn't been said already?? This place is simply WONDERFUL! I am truly a sucker for any place that serves bean dip along with your chips & salsa! I've been to this location twice now and have enjoyed every minute of it. Everything is excellent - The food, the service, the decor, the drinks, you name it! I ordered the Birria de Chivo which was absolutely delicious. I had a strawberry margarita to drink which was excellent as well. Will definitely be coming here again when I'm in Vegas again! LOVE this place!

I frequent this spot for its cognac chicken(highly recommend), carnitas and gulf shrimp dishes(the crema one is amazing). The food is muy authentico and the atmosphere is great with live music/great service. Three stars because they have a disgusting salad option/(s?)... opting for something on the light side of fullness, last night I tried the seafood salad: an avocado shell filled with a cold mess of (too much) bland shrimp and avocados on a (mainly iceberg) lettuce blend. If canned shrimp existed, it would taste like that in last night's salad. They do have a cobb salad that sounds promising. I have faith in this place(one of few good places to eat in my neck of the woods) and will try it soon enough. Lately, the guacamole has been too chunky and bland(ask for much lemon and less texture) and I concur with Keith that the complimentary soup here is lame and should disappear.

This place has the best Mexican food in town, the 2nd best is Richardo! The homemade Guacamole is awesome! An idea how fresh it is, they bring it to your table and make it right their in front of you and you get a lot of it as well! The house salsa is awesome, it may be a little too hot for some but very addicting! They also bring out some bean dip as well. I have had several different items on the menu from the Burritos, the tostada and the carne asada - which are all were leaving you to want more!! The bar drinks are great as well and a very strong! This place has been in town for years, one of the very few places where they never disappoint you!

It's just not very good, it used to be better but never was really good. I remember when it opened and what a big success it was immediately. I never understood why it was so popular, it's what I call a 10 year restaurant. That's a place where I eat and don't really like the food; then after 10 years of people telling me how good it is, I think maybe I missed something. So I try it again and am reminded why I did not like it the first time, 10 years ago. We ate here again recently because it was open late. The meal was disappointing as usual, nothing was terrible but nothing was good either. We only ate about half of our meals and did not get containers to take the leftovers home. It's kind of pricey also, about $100 for two, definitely not worth the money. Las Vegas is not a great town for Mexican restaurants like LA or San Antonio are; tacos yes but restaurants not so much. There are however two places in this same part of town that are far superior and cheaper than Lindo Michoacan. El Ausente and Hacienda del Rey are much better choices and better values as well.

We came here based on all the favorable yelp reviews, the restaurant must have had a bad day because all of our dishes were less than average in terms of taste and quality. The service was good and the atmosphere pleasant. The food however just did not have that wow factor but it did have value (lunch menu). I imagine that dinner there with musical entertainment can be special, their walls have some impressive photos of VIPs.

E P.

The food is ok. I've had better. Good customer service. Don't order the Agua de Tamarindo. It is watered down and looks like iced tea. It doesn't taste like tamarindo at all. The chips, salsa and bean dip they bring you when you first sit down are good. I ordered the huevos con nopalitos. They were a little bland. The rice was good.

This place was so much fun! We went for my friend's birthday and had a lot of fun. They had a band playing who was really good! I thought the prices were very reasonable too! When we sat down, they gave us chips and salsa AND beans. I've never had beans served at the beginning with the chips like that, but I thought it was very cool. I loved everything. I guess the only reason I am giving 4 stars instead of 5 is because the veggies were kind of funny. The veggies in our burritos were peas, green beans, etc. Kind of seems like maybe it came from a can of mixed veggies you would buy at the store instead of like grilled onions and peppers and stuff that I'm used to. And my friend ordered a chicken burrito, and there was seriously only chicken in it. No veggies or sour cream or cheese. Just chicken. Still tasted great! Just kinda funny :)

Anand S.

The atmosphere was quite pleasant. That's the only reason for 2 stars, because the food.... Big MEH. We had heard all the rave reviews. Methinks these people have never been to California and tasted what real fresh Mex is like. Lindo Michoacan is NOT all that. Most of the stuff is pure canned flavor. Save yourself the trip. Head over to Mandalay Bay and get some decent food at the Border's Grill.

Best restaurant, food and service in Las Vegas! We went for lunch and enjoyed it so much that we went back for dinner. The selection of cocktails, appetizers, and entrees is exceptional along with the service from ALL the waitstaff. My favorite part was the "company" cars that give you a complimentary ride back to your hotel on the strip. Great restaurant and definitely will be going back next time I visit Vegas!

Great Mexican food. Here in Vegas, I have found few places that match the quality of the food and taste. However, make sure you go to the Original Lindo at Desert Inn. It is just better.

I always get the Camarones Tia Esther. It's been my favorite for years. Never disappoints. Today I had a hard day at work so I got a coconut margarita, too. It was very good. I've never been a fan of fideo but that's just me. The corn tortillas are made fresh on site and they're so good. I love this place!!
(5)
Jacob S.

We stopped in for dinner tonight and I was underwhelmed (sadly). The food was good for the most part but it was the service that was a major letdown. One of the "drinks" we ordered, a simple glass of ice, never came. I even asked a second time but it did me no good. We also never got our sopa de fideo that comes with each meal. After our dinner arrived we saw very little of our waiter. Honestly the bus boy gave better service and more of it. Had to wait for the check too. In extreme circumstances this may be understandable but it didn't even seem like the place was packed. The saving grace was the food. Both the pork and chicken were tasty. I also enjoyed the salsa verde and my family seemed to enjoy their meals. They were a little skimpy on the rice and beans and the guacamole lacked some flavors IMO (salt, lime, cilantro) but it wasn't anything worth fussing over. It's a shame that the service was such a letdown. Good food + bad service = a poor dining experience. Bummer...

Consistently rated as one of the top Las Vegas Mexican food restaurants in Las Vegas, Lindo Michoacan offers authentic dishes in a comfortable, inviting and festive atmosphere. Most nights will find the original location filled with patrons mulling over the hundreds of menu items while listening to an occasional mini mariachi breakout. Our party of five did not have reservations for a midweek, 7:00 pm visit, but after a short wait, we were accommodated.

Alice C.

Delicious Mexican food! The decor is a bit less like the taquerias in California, but more similar to the Mexican chains in CA or Tex Mex chains on the east coast -- cheesy, homey atmosphere, with the familiar margarita glasses and heavy plates. The menu is comprehensive -- a lot of generic Mexican dishes you would expect, plus Michoacan specialties. I got the carnitas, and man, was it good. It was not the deep fried kind, but rather, slow cooked and stewed, which made it really flavourful. The green sauce complemented it well, and the rice and beans were good as well. It was a really big plate though, plus I always fill up on chips because I love salsa, so share plates if you need to. I barely finished half of my plate! Service was a bit slow, but overall not too bad. I just want to taste those carnitas again...

Linnea S.

Had the grilled fish tacos. They were absolutely amazing. The spicy chipotle style sauce on them was delicious. Ample portions. It is a sit down restaurant so it is a bit pricier. They serve sopa de fideo and nachos as appetizers which is very tasty. Excellent sauces for dipping. Great service. Some live music which can add or detract from you experience depending on how you look at it.

I popped into Lindo for a quick bite to eat before meeting a client. I sat at the bar and was greeted quickly and served chips with bean dip and salsa. The beans were meh. I added salt but that didn't seem to improve the flavor. The salsa was boring it had no spice. But it was complimentary so I really shouldn't complain too much. To drink I ordered a Tecate preparada, which is beer with lime, salt, clam juice and hot sauce. You can pick your beer by the way, I just felt like Tecate was a good option and it was. That drink was so good and refreshing on a hot summer day. They also have margs and a few other speciality cocktails if beer doesn't tickle your fancy. I didn't want to eat something super heavy, so I just chose a steak quesadilla. It came out in less than 5 minutes so props to the kitchen for the speedy service. It was good but nothing memorable, it was just a quesadilla. It came with a very small amount of sour cream and guacamole on the side, like a squirt of each which was disappointing. Anyway I was in and out within a half hour, and paid less than $20. Not great, not bad, just OK.

Shanika H.

We loved the Fideo! You get a small cup after you order. The chips are set at your table almost immediately wen you sit down. They have two dip options - refried beans, and a spicy red sauce. There's a salsa that is SO HOT, there's a warning and a disclaimer! Your server might let you sample it if you ask nicely, though. DELICIOUS plates, large portions, authentic decorations and chips to die for! I'd go again.
(4)
Richard R.

Finally able to check this place out and see what all the buzz was about. It is great! From the chips, salsa and bean dip, to the Cadillac Margarita everything was amazing! This place was PACKED on a Wednesday evening around 8pm and now I know why. Its really that good and the servers somehow handle everything and dont leave you feeling like you are left out with the place so packed. Well worth the wait!

Louisa M.

This is by far my favorite of all the Lindo locations in town (and this is the original, where it all started)! There's no view and parking is obnoxiously limited, but the service is fast, the employees are friendly, and the food is yummy. This is where I come when I want to blow my low carb diet. The fresh made flour tortillas are so good that I usually end up eating several baskets -- and it is always worth it! The corn chips and salsa / bean dip are all super tasty too. The menu is large enough so there truly is something for everyone. This location does a big office lunch business because they have a great smaller portion lunch special menu, so expect crowds if you go during the workday. My go-to favorites here are the queso with peppers as an appetizer (simple yet always amazing), the Pollo Con Rajas Y Crema Estilo Stephania (chicken breast with mild roasted peppers and a yummy cream sauce), and tasty chicken fajitas. A true local Las Vegas gem.

I needed to take some mid-western family members out to eat and they requested Mexican. I instantly researched places that would meet the following criteria: not a chain (like Chili's or something), sit-down place (not a taco shop), large portions, at least some authenticity. This place left me pleasantly surprised and was just what I had in mind for my visiting family. The place is huge, so we were able to be seated right away at a large table. There was a man with a keyboard singing the whole time, which was a nice touch although it prevented us from doing a lot of talking as one of my family members is a little hearing impaired. They brought out the standard chips and salsa but also had some tasty bean dip. Pretty good but the only problem that occurred is when my water was being refilled, the waiter spilled on the chip basket. He took it away and never replaced it. Bummer. I ordered beef flautas with flour instead of corn. Pretty standard flautas and when I tried my boyfriend's dish, I was upset that I didn't branch out and try something different on the menu. He ordered the coca-cola steak where the coca-cola sauce served to soften the meat while lending a sweet sauce. It was interesting, but in a good way. My dad said the taco he had as part of his combo plate was one of the best tacos he has ever had in his life. Of course, since we went about a week away from my birthday, my parents told the waiter that it was my birthday. So I had to endure a birthday song sung by several of the staff and then a surprise tequila shot! It also came with a slightly stale churro. But that is just me complaining because the only churro I like is a fresh and hot one. My family members loved the place and they enjoyed all of the other extra curriculars that came with it, like the singer, the birthday celebrations, and the decor.

Monica U.

We went here for our wedding reception last year. We were craving some menudo so we decided to come to the original Lindo Michoacan, and were not disappointed. It was super packed, minimal wait and the service was excellent. The food was even better. The best part was the live mariachi band they serenaded a newly wed couple. It was beautiful!!! The prices are higher than most mexican restaurants in town but well worth it. We'll be back!!
(5)
Chuck R.

Not sure why I keep coming here. The food isn't THAT great by any means. Must be the frozen margaritas! Emily the server also makes the visit worthwhile. But is it the best Mexican food in town? No, not by a long shot. But it'll get you by. Great atmosphere too at this original location only - the other locations, meh.

Marissa Z.

I kept hearing about this place over and over again. I finally went tonight. Location is horrendous, but there was parking in front, and hostesses were dressed up and smiling. The waitstaff, bussers, everyone who helped us were unbelievably friendly, my server was helpful I left a 30% tip, and loved the mariachi band (Or was that just playing over head?) This place exceeded my expectation I love the food, the soup was to die for I even got seconds with I additional charge. I'm bringing my whole family back!

Mark L.

This restaurant probably served me the worst steak picado I have ever eaten in my life, and I have tried this plate at a lot of establishments. The steak chucks were hard, and were super tough to chew. The meat seemed old, and if not old then just cheap and tough. The sauce that the meat was cooked in was rather bland and flavorless. I had to ask for their extra spicy sauce in order to add some "pizzaz" to the food. The soup appetizer that came with the meal was pretty good though, so I give them some credit for that. If it wasn't for the soup this place would get 1 star vs. the 2 stars that I am giving them for this experience. The menu seems to be more tailored to the tourists and is not the traditional Michoacan dishes that I have eaten at other places. For someone who isn't up on what "real" Mexican food should taste like, they may like it here, but for me I give this place two thumbs down and a big ol' YUCK!. Never again. This place is totally over rated!

Haven't had authentic Michoacan food since I was younger traveling to Morelia. The overall service was great, server was prompt and helpful, busser didn't waste any time clearing our plates out of the way. The chips and salsa AMAZING! Never seen any place serve bean dip with their chips which was great even though it needed a bit of salt. I would advise come hungry if you're doing the apps and entree with dessert. Oh before I forget they serve breakfast day or night!!!

Delicious food, authentic recipes, wonderful service, clean restaurant, beautifully upgraded dÃ©cor and a decent price for the large portion sizes. Love the new expansion since the last time I was here! I remember back around 1997 or 1998 when the owner Javier bought a brand new corvette and let my friend David and I take it for a ride 100 MPH down Eastern Ave. Not sure if we ever admitted the speed we accelerated in his new corvette, LOL, but we returned his keys and car within 10 minutes and not a scratch. Javier was a business client of ours and a very sincere and friendly gentleman. Although I have been to every one of his Lindo restaurants, this is and has always been my favorite location! Without a doubt, the best Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas!
(5)
Yunior L.

I'll get straight to the point - by far the best Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas. I grew up in Vegas and after living in Canada for 6+ years, I began to really miss great Mexican food. There are many places around town that offer great Mexican food, but none like this one. They go beyond the food. The life music, overall vibe, and outstanding service is something you won't find in many other places. Favorite menu items are Queso Fundido with Chorizo, Tacos al Pastor, and Pollo al Pipian. My only negative mark would be on the desserts. Stay away from that flamed fried ice cream!

Mark V.

This place will not leave you disappointed. First walking in, I thought I was going to be in trouble as the bar part was unusually hot. Didn't know if that was part of the Mexican charm of the place but the table seating was much cooler. You have to be careful with the chips and salsa they give you, as you will definitely eat more than you should. They are delicious. The Cadillac margaritas were magical. It wasn't so pounded with sugar that it would make you diabetic, but it wasn't deprived of sugar to make you think you were just drinking straight tequila. It was the perfect blend and I drank a few of them. There are a lot of interesting dishes to try out as it appears the owner is really into putting a twist on normal Mexican food. I ordered a bone-in rib eye that had a coca-cola sauce. This was by far the most tender rib-eye I've ever had. The coca-cola sauce added a subtle flavor to the rib eye and it did a magnificent job tenderizing the steak. It's something you should really try out. The other nice thing they had there was entertainment. We had just missed the mariachi band, but we did get there for a guy singing karaoke. He was pretty decent and it added a nice touch to the meal. The other great thing is that, if it is your birthday (or close enough), if you tell the server, they will come out, put a sombrero on you and sing to you. The song is finished with the birthday person taking a shot of tequila and getting a birthday churro. Honestly, the churro was probably just for decoration as it was the hardest grossest churro I've ever had, but it's the thought that counts. Overall, I really enjoyed the place. I didn't feel like it was hokey, it felt pretty authentic with the decorations and with the faucets in the bathroom being like a water pump. The food is a bit more expensive than I would normally pay for Mexican food, but since it was really delicious with the great atmosphere, it was definitely worth it.

Trina T.

Out of all their locations, the original is truly the best. The service is on point and the food is fantastic. Nothing came out greasy or under seasoned. Our drinks were never half empty. I would drive from across town just to eat here when I crave Mexican food.

Tiffany C.

A friend from work highly recommended this place and you know what, he was right. Original Lindo Michoacan was fantastic! Our waiter quickly brought our drinks and some complimentary hot chips, salsa and bean dip while we looked over the menu. Now while I could have gotten full just eating those wonderfully hot chips and dip, I had to stop myself from eating them all up so I could save room for all the other food we ordered. We went with the Queso Fundido with Chorizo, the Enchilada Tarasca and some Carnitas a la Mexicana. Omg the food was glorious! Super flavorful, filling and tasty. I only wish I could have eaten more. The Queso Fundido was the most deliciously gooey combination of cheese and spices. I wish every day I could eat me some of that cheesy goodness. And yes I do love cheese that much. Then my lunch special that included an enchilada filled with cheese, beef and chicken ... drool worthy. Everything and I do mean everything I tasted was delicious. In fact I was only planning on eating half of my food and taking the other half to go to eat later, but that didn't happen. The food here was just too good. My friend, who is a pretty picky Mexican food lover, absolutely devoured all of his as well. We both thouroughly enjoyed eating here. I will definitely be back the next time I'm in Las Vegas.

Some places are just a part of my experience with this city that I never think I to review them. That's Lindo. It's part of Vegas' culinary landscape. Established in the early nineties, it's one of a handful of businesses in this town that seems to evolve and grow with the city. They have managed to find new ways to remain relevant and, even current, as the times, and tastes, change. This place remains a go-to for many for local Mexican food. They are very consistent in the product. The service is always solid and they do a strong job of providing an experience for diners. Touches from the live music to the table side guacamole preparation give this place a customer friendly energy. The staff at Lindo wants you to enjoy yourself. The place will be packed when you go as many locals count Lindo as their top choice for Mexican food. I suspect much of that goodwill is based on the energy and "excitement" of the place. My primary issue is weak flavors and overly tough protein--specifically chicken. Like I said, they're consistent. Dishes like Chile Colorado should be fork tender. They never are. The food has changed some from when I first started coming to Lindo. The flavors seem to have turned down two notches and the delicious dishes that were once "delicioso" are now best categorized as "good". But this may only be a problem for me since I hear so many people say they LOVE the dishes at Lindo. I fall more in the category of loving the IDEA of the dishes at Lindo. The updated, glossy new (as of a few years ago) menu boasts a wealth of options: pork, appetizers, fish, beef, chicken, etc. I have wondered if the effort to expand the menu has led to the decline in the quality of the dishes. On my latest visit I tried the Enchiladas de Mole. It was safe and filling. But in fairness, that's all I was expecting. There are no layered or even punchy flavors to challenge or excite the pallet. But I don't think that's what Lindo is about. And that's ok. They provide good food for a reasonable price. I will continue to pop into Lindo for parties or with large gatherings and I'm glad to see that many people appreciate and frequent this local business.

Food was good nothing too special though. I felt like a lot of the food is over priced. Their hot sauce was fire literally! That's probably one of the best highlights. Had the ceviche which was okay and the coca cola carnitas which were good but lacked salt.

First time eating here at this restaurant. We had seen a show in food network that show cased a spicy ghost salsa. We had to stop and try it. For those who like spicy food this is a must try. We tried the Buey de cilantro, aguachile, chilaquiles, queso fundido, taco dorados, torta and table side guacamole and hand made tortillas. Everything was delicious and service was great. Es un buen lugar para celebrar un cumpleaÃ±os ya que te cantan y te dan tu tequilazo cumpleanero. Definitivamente recomendamos este restaurante y serÃ¡ unos de nuestros lugares favoritos en las Vegas.

The original Lindo Michoacan! Although I've only ate at this location, I've heard you can't eat at any other location but this one. It does not compare. This place is uhhmaaazing. Hands down, the best shrimp ceviche in town. It has the perfect amount of lime juice in it. The perfect amount of shrimp. No one else compares! I love how when you order guacamole they make is fresh. So fresh that they make it right in front of you. And let me tell you, one of the best guacamoles I have ever tasted. When they make it, they make plenty. I had to actually take it to go. And the day after guac taste just as good! They also always bring out a cup of their soup. Very simple but very tasteful. When going to a mexican restaurant you always have to order a Margarita! I got a Mango Margarita. It was so good. They put lucas on the ring of the cup. Bomb. Service was good. Nothing to complain about. Great place to get my mexican fix.

I had the Mole poblano and it honestly tasted just like mom used to make! The chicken was tender and seasoned well, and the sauce was mild in spice with a touch of chocolate. The service here is tops too. Our very informed waiter was able to answer all of our questions including a little history in the restaurant and kitchen staff that runs the place! I loved this place and will definitely be back soon.

Awesome place!! I reserved a private space for about 45 people to celebrate my grandma's 88th birthday. It was great! No extra charge for the reservation and private area!! Food was delicious as always. My family enjoyed everything. We went on a Saturday at 7pm; they had a live mariachi who sang "las mananitas". I also took a cake and they placed it in their fridge until we were ready to cut it. Great experience!!

I hadn't been here in 13 years, this place used to be the best. Now not so much, after being seated we waited a long time before our waiter acknowledged us. Many wait staff walked by and nobody offered us a drink of water. Then the patron in the table in front of us walks to the register to complain about something and they go find "our" waiter. He then stopped at her table and they conversed and he left again still no drinks or anything. I'm starting to get annoyed. Then several minutes later he brought her cocktail and she decided she wants to talk his ear off and yet he's looking at us and not making the effort to end the conversation. Finally I started making loud comments were talking 10 minutes without any service, it wasn't busy either. He finally comes to us, we placed our order. Then that chick gets up like every few minutes to speak with the hostess and a manager comes to her table and she talks her ear off. Then a random patron starts conversation with her and she says how she's a stripper lol -fast forward- Our food arrives I had combination plate chile relleno and taco. The chile relleno was disappointing the sauce wasn't good no flavor, like a can of crushed tomatoes was dumped on it. The taco had half a cup of shredded cheese and lettuce not much to it. My husband had fajitas they were mediocre . Not once did our waiter check on us, the guy with the refills was the only one doing his job. Conclusion: this place isn't what it used to be with quality, service and price increases don't coincide with this place. Thumbs down

What a great place. My fiancee and I were in Las Vegas on vacation and wanted to eat some authentic Mexican food like we do back at home, and this was what our friends suggested (although there was another location with a better view but we couldn't get the GPS to find it). The inside of the restaurant is comfortable, nothing fancy just your typical layout. The server we had was polite and very helpful. We ordered the Guacamole appetizer and I knew we were in for a treat when he came out and made it right in front of us after asking us how we would like it tailored. It was fantastic, probably the best guacamole I've had. Unfortunately this lead us to eating three baskets of chips, but that's the side effect of being in Vegas and not being able to control the pig-out factor everyday. I really wish I hadn't eaten that many chips though, because the meal I got was crazy delicious. They have a lot of menu choices and a lot of specials, all of which sounded great, so I didn't really know where to begin. I was contemplating between two of the chicken dishes and asked the waiter what he preferred. He pointed me to a third dish; the Pollo Sarandeado, which turned out to be right up my alley so I'm glad he persuaded. I was skeptical at first, as the sauce was a blend of peppers and some kind of mayo which I'm not typically a fan of, but this was sublime. It turned out to be one of those meals where you can't stop eating even though you're so full but then you stop anyways because you're THAT full. I took the rest back to the hotel in a doggy bag and then forgot I didn't have a fridge to put it in. Sad times. Bottom line though, get the Pollo Sarandeado. My fiancee had one of the burritos and she was equally happy. The drinks came around a little slow, but they have a team of waiters and usually the ones that aren't yours will still be good about refilling chips and keeping an eye on things. Overall, I wasn't bothered by the speed at all and the food / politeness more then made up for it. Really happy I tried this place and I'll easily give it a big recommendation to any visitors.

I came here expecting so much. I've lived in Vegas for years and always heard such great things about this place. Plus, they're on the 'Best Of' list for years. Wow was I disappointed. Service was pretty much non-existent - the other reviewer that made the comment about the lack of refil on chips and salsa was accurate. However, we didn't even get a refill on our water. The food was pretty tasteless. My daughter posted a vine about the absent server because it was so obvious. Now at least I can say I've tried the famous Lindo Michoacan... don't have anything good to say about it. For the price, the quality was sub-standard. Bloody Mary came in a thick, narrow glass so the content was very small - it was overpriced and under-tasty, too. I'll stick with Taco Bell for a better Mexican meal.

Kyla G.

This location is vastly superior to the Henderson location! The food is more flavorful and the service is really, really good. I've always ordered combinations and haven't been disappointed. Also, the "Burro Bionico" is very tasty! I'd advise coming here when very hungry, as the portions are enormous. This is my go-to when visitors tell me they want Mexican food. It always gets rave reviews!

I bought the Groupon and little far from our house, but the review and my friends were talking about this place made me to buy this deal, Wholaa!! i though this place is not great food when i was parking my car in the parking lot bcos of the old looking front view, Believe me, this place is the best Mexican food so far i tried. we were 7 people and all of us were so happy about the service and the food. Only thing is the loud sound in side, but i can understand the Mexican tradition, and the loud music always go together. Such a great place to get the authentic Mexican food, My favorite was Stake Ranchero, Also My wife got Chicken Fajita was Delisious!!!

Food was 4 stars and 5 stars for service. They were so attentive from the moment we entered the restaurant. Even when they messed up our margaritas they were quick to fix it and even took one drink off the bill and asked if they could get us anything else. We took a cab there and when we we getting ready to leave they asked if we'd like to use their shuttle back to the strip. Overall, I was really amazed how well we were treated. I was so impressed by the service I could barely focus on the food but it was good.

I've been visiting this restaurant for over 35 years. Still run by the same family (second generation). The cuisine has always been wonderful. Service? It's like being served by .... Guess what? ...... family. Of all of the Mexican Restaurants in Las Vegas (and there are many) I'd rate this one now Number One. Our ultimate favorite (Vega's Cafe) closed its doors a few years ago.

Bill G.

This is one of my go to place in Las Vegas. Any night of the week, the place is packed. You will be waiting on a Friday and Saturday night. The table side guacamole is awesome, I get it every time I am there. The food is more on a traditional Mexican side, not the fancy stuff you get on the strip. If you have a rental car, it is worth the drive. I will go back the next time I am in Vegas, for sure.

Jamie C.

I have been coming here for years. Great food, great prices and the staff is always so nice. Even when I order something as simple as the tacos I'm always pleased. Their guacamole has this unique kick to it that I just love. I love when the mariachi band cruses the dining room. I never find it annoying. :) It makes for a festive experiance!

Tess R.

Lighting is frustratingly dim which just makes me suspicious - what are they hiding? Prices are ridiculously high for food I could have prepared better. And, I ordered the frozen mango margarita and there just couldn't have been any alcohol in it. Can't recommend the place.

Dave S.

Hands down the best mexican I've had in town...so far. Very authentic and they have a huge menu that should suit every taste. In the middle room you can even see the tortillas being freshly made. The only thing that was bad about my second trip was the fact that for the life of me I couldn't remember what I got the first time to order it again...but my second meal was excellent as well. The guac is made table side and is super fresh. I love making homemade guac myself and actually will not make it without cilantro anymore because they used it at Lindo and it really made a difference. We live a good 6 miles or so away and on the way everyone was asking why we were traveling so far for this restaurant and if we were getting Mexican food, why we couldn't go to one of the one hundred places that are closer. By the end of the meal everyone need why and gave me kudos for the selection. It will be hard to go anywhere else when I have a craving for Mexican food.

Fabulous! Gotta go here. 1. Ambiance - Great, traditional, can seat large or small parties. Date, friends, or business, it is great. 2. Appetizers - the salsa, the home made fresh made tortillas and the bean dip are great and never ending. Just ask for more and there it is. 3. Food - So good, so much to choose from. If you are eating American style, they have lunch specials with all your popular dishes like Enchiladas, Burritos, Tacos, Taco Salad, and they have more interesting things such as tongue, pork chops and shrimp dishes. The fish is great, the lunch specials are nice, but my all time favorite is the Caldo de Res. How many places in NV can you get this? It is SOOOOOO GOOOD. 4. Food part 2. Forgot about the Menudo, and the tongue. Lengua a michoacan or tacos de lengua, the beef tongue is great here. You know you gotta have a lot of people coming here to serve the more exotic things. And, try not to order the burrito, mi amigo. That is like going to a steak restaurant and ordering a PBJ Sandwich. Tasty , but not what you order eating out! 5. This place may be better than the new on on Carnegie and Horizon Ridge in Henderson. A must to go.

Every time I come to Vegas we always stop here for dinner and it never disappoints! The service was fantastic! The atmosphere was great! When we went they also had a gentlemen offering live music which enhanced our time there. The food is AMAZING! Also, I would recommend having guacamole they make right in front of you! Probably the best Mexican restaurant I have EVER been to! The margaritas are on point! The pricing is also reasonable.. You get what you pay for. I have nothing negative to say about the time I have spent here.

Very good, real Mexican. Margarita was also awesome. If you want good Mexican food in Vegas, STAY OFF THE STRIP, and find this place. Great food, nicely decorated, authentic Mex. Yum.

Let's examine this place on a number of differnet levels. THE FOOD I would call it above average mexican style food. They did have an extensive menu with some authentic dishes. I am only one guy so I tried a combo plate for a little variety. The Chile rellano was actually pretty decent, not quite homemade, but very good. The other diners in my group were all very happy with their food. The entire meal was well prepared. THE SERVICE I think this is what seperates this place. The service is very good. It is fast with out anyone trying to hurry you up. Plenty of refills and they remove plates, bottles, ect... promptly. There seemed to be a sincere welcome felling - as if you went to persons home... THE VENUE This place has been in the same spot for some time. It has a bar with 3 seperate dining areas. It is plenty big enough. It had a charm to it - they didn't over do it or try to hard. Very homey. The place appeared to be very clean too. THE INTANGIBLES The restaurant was jam packed full of Mexicans. I was even dining with Mexicans. My logic is if the Mexicans like it then it must be good. Not that they are culinary experts but they do know something about mexican food. The place just has a good vibe to it. It feels like a mexican restaurant. Also, It is locally owned and operated.

Very authentic Mexican food. Sorry I can't say what I ate but it was great. The only thing they didn't have was con queso white cheese dip but they did have a great bean dip. Service was fantastic too.

I think that I have eaten at all the Michoacan locations through out the valley and the original Lindo Michoacan on Desert Inn is by far the best. It is worth the drive. One of best Mexican restaurants in the city. I love their chips, beans, and salsa that they bring when you first sit down. It never fails that I finish every bit. The fresh guacamole that they make at the table is a must!! The taquitos are so fresh (they make their own home made tortillas). My husband got the whole fried talapia, and devoured every bit. Their super burrito is the biggest burrito I have ever seen, it is also delicious! We have been several times and never been disappointed.

This place was some of THE BEST Mexican food I have ever had. Went to this location 2 times while in Vegas. Service A+ Value A++ Atmosphere A+ (IF you like Mariachi bands) Taste A+ Wife and I ate dinner for only about 50 bucks!! Had quesadilla carnitas, margaritas, and the nearly Devine LINDO FLAMEADO!!! Please stop by when in Vegas. Absolute must!!! Only complaint was that the bathroom was really cool and I felt I could only go in once not to look weird. TERRIFIC!

Paula W.

Delicious food!!! Wholly, so good. Chicken enchilada verdes, the best!!! Tableside made guacamole, the best ever. The chips, the bean dip. So yummy. We've already book marked this place. I wish I could remember the name of the cab driver that referred us to this place. Thanks:)

Kat K.

Thank you Yelp Las Vegas for the recommendation. Showed up here after a day of walking and shopping and I have to say Julio, our waiter, is fantastic and made the experience a memorable one by making recommendations for my party; who are a bunch of newbies to Mexican food. The service was pretty attentive with our drinks being refilled and empty plates being whisked away without us asking or noticing. I orders the garlic shrimp; which was pretty good, bf ordered something chicken salitas (?); the other two in our party orders a chipotle chicken and carnitas. The carnitas were probably the winner, but not by much. The menu is a bit confusing, so if you get Julio ask him for help navigating the menu. Do it. The table-side guacamole is pretty fresh and tasty too. It is worth the drive off-strip.

This place is the absolute best! My husband and I had a destination wedding at the Mirage on a Thursday and we were looking for a location to have a lunch for our guest of about 70 people the next day. We didn't have a huge budget so having something on the strip was out of the question. We asked a sever at another restaurant where the best Mexican food in Vegas was and he suggested this place. We couldn't agree with him more. Stephanie who we worked with for about a year delivered on everything we talked about over the phone. She was absolutely amazing! We had our spin to a traditional wedding reception on a Friday from 2-5pm during the lunch period and our guest selected 1 of 4 lunch items that we pre-selected that came with rice, beans, salad or soup, and a soft drink. Stephanie was nice enough to create the specialized menu with our names on it. It was also happy hour so the drinks were half off. The food during the lunch period is very affordable. When we arrived at the restaurant they reserved the entire back area for us. The customer service was absolutely out of this world. They had several servers helping us. They also sang a happy wedding song to us, put sombrero's on our head, gave us a shot of tequila and had us eat churro. It was the cutest thing. If you are having a destination wedding in Vegas and not looking to do the traditional reception thing I would highly suggest having your guest meet at the Lindo during lunch for a great time. Important tad bit of information: 1. They have a free shuttle service that will take you back to the strip. If you decide to take the city bus it will let you out right in front of the restaurant.

Im not going to waste anytime with this review. This place is my new favortie Mexican restaurant, period. Everything was great I had the Enchilada, Taco and Tamale plate. Excellent! The atmosphere? Excellent! The service? Friendly and..........Thats right. Excellent! Wife had the steak fajitas and they were great as well. Extremely spacious parking lot. Plain and simple, If you dont come and eat here, your missing out!

Edward S.

I was very disappointed with this place after reading all of the reviews. The fist thing was that the floors were greasy and slippery. We had to hold on to the chairs so we didn't fall. The staff there didn't seem to mind the slickness. The second thing was the food was over cooked and mine was burnt. The service was good, The margaritas were also good. But I will never return there.

Just ate here tonight with my family and I have to say it was one of the most pleasant dining experiences I've had in some time. The food was good. I don't know if any one item really blew me away but the food from top to bottom was satisfying. I had the combination plate with a chile relleno, chicken enchilada and a tamale. The tamale, which was actually the reason I ordered the plate was probably the weakest thing I hate, but it was more than made up for by a good enchilada and very, very good chile relleno. For desert we had the fried ice cream and, my favorite dish of the night, sopapillas. Both were delicious. Now, having mentioned the food, I want to say that the part of the outing that made my night was the service. I've had plenty of good food at plenty of places--it's really not hard to find in Las Vegas. Finding a place that makes you feel great on a Saturday night purely by the strength of the service though? That's a lot harder. Everyone who waited on us was smiling, prompt and very nice. Our bussers key our waters full and our tables clear. Our orders arrived quickly and everyone was particularly nice and interactive with our baby. If fact, during the course of the meal a lady brought us a stuffed burro from the restaurant and gave it to us. It entertained our daughter long enough for me to finish dinner. I hope this evening was not an anomaly because I'm looking forward to this same treatment when I return. It really set this place apart and really made for a nice Saturday evening.

I love the decor, and all the hostess's are dressed up in really pretty Mexican skirts and blouses. I can't quite name a favorite dish, but so far every thing ive tried here is awesome. So if you have never been here or your visiting Las Vegas PLEASE try this place!!! You won't regret it!

We have been here several times and at various times and this place is busy but seating is quick. Service is the best, better than in many high priced joints. Never an empty water glass or beer glass for that matter. The beer is always cold and served in a great chilled glass. Lelt me counter a previous poster - I am from Cali and I love this place. Fantastic and varied menu so anyone should be able to satisfy their Mexican food desires. Every entree I've had has been tops and the tortillas are like those made at home, light, fluffy, warm and downright excellent. I could make a meal out of them! Very good sopapillas if you have room for dessert. This is no doubt one of the best Mexican restaurants we have been to in the entire southwest. Anyone posting less than 4 stars wouldn't know a tortilla from a tomahawk.

My husband and I come here once a month as a treat. I love the authentic Mexican cuisine this place offers. Everything is fresh when it comes out from the kitchen. We have never waited long for our food. Great service and great prices. You get a lot of food for what you pay for which is worth it. The Chile Relleno is fantastic.

Best Mexican Restaurant!! I have been coming here for years and it's still amazing. The food is always so good. I usually order some shrimp dish..I try too change it up. Beans are amazing and you can tell everything is fresh. Everything I order..not one thing I didn't like. They also have great kids meals too. Friendly staff as well. I have noticed the prices have gone up but it's well worth! I have been too the one in Henderson and this location seems too be a bit better. So good!!

Aaron V.

Food was decent. Some items were better than others. Milanesa was a little soggy and bland. The cheese in the enchiladas wasn't melted all the way. Guacamole was delicious and made to order at the table. Steak and lobster was also very well-prepared. The sauce that was used for the birria was a little over-whelming, but the meat was very tender and flavorful. Our server, Erick, was excellent. Very friendly, welcoming, and attentive. Overall, I would eat here again.

Tourists!! There are gems to be found outside of the glittery Strip... and some of these gems have shuttles! Hence, Lindo Michoacan, five stars for you. First of all, quick service with a smile always goes a long way with me. Secondly, chips and salsa AND bean dip to start off... win. Thirdly, tableside guacamole spiced to your preference? Getouttahere. Fourthly, a menu with something delicioso for EVERYONE, including us vegheads. Fifthly (not even a word), the fact that they had a full house and could still capably handle the group of 18 that we were in... seriously en pointe service. Drinks refilled in minutes, orders placed in front of you instead of called out (one of my huge pet peeves) and never felt pressured to get out once the check was presented. Take advantage of the shuttle situation and GO!!

The Cadillac Margarita was amazing but too strong for my personal taste. The Strawberry Margarita was delicious; definitely recommended for those of us who do not like the strong taste of liquor. Lol. As for the food, I wasn't very impressed; too expensive for what you get. The meats [steak, chicken & lobster] were all overcooked. The highlight of the meal was the salsa served with chips & the hand-made tortillas. I would be inclined to visit again if their prices were a little lower.

Dawn G.

I believe this is the best Mexican food I've ever had at a restaurant. The fish tacos are so good I've had them on several different visits. Also the carnitas with the coca cola sauce is amazing. Very tender and delicious. The guacamole is made table side and is great. The atmosphere here is just so warm and inviting with live music and a friendly staff. I love this place.

Mike K.

After being unimpressed with the reviews of the strip Mexican places we decided to cab it out here (a mile or so) and glad we did. Great food, and didn't feel like a Vegas chain but more like some of the family restaurants out this way in California. The traditional mole sauce was killer. Waiter made the guacamole right at the table, adding jalepenos to suit the requested amount of hotness (lots). Excellent, attentive service. One of the better choices for Mexican in Vegas.

Janelle A.

This place is always packed so make a reservation if not expect to wait 15-20 min. They start you off with chips salsa and beans!! There Fideo soup that comes with most of their meals are delicious and I love their strawberry margaritas are amazing! Not a overwhelming taste of tequila but still managed to get me buzzed on only one! Try the coca cola carnitas! Service was great. Servers and very nice and will help you pick out what's good because the menu can be a little overwhelming. It's a bit pricey but worth it. 50 with tip for 2 including 1 beer and margarita.

Amazing authentic style food that is as close to Cali Mexican food you are going to get while in Vegas! Was totally having withdrawals until we found this place! Now it is my guilty pleasure when dieting is not on my mind! Going here for a birthday is super fun too because they put this sombrero on the birthday person and make them take a shot while singing and playing musical instruments! Everything happens so fast it almost is like a funny mariachi dream! Love love love their deep fried hard-shelled tacos and enchiladas.

Best Authentic mexican food period!!! This place is extreamly busy and loud noice with their music and the people talking, But maaan... the food and the service is above the excellent! Stake Congac and stake ranchero is the best of the grill and all the other food are very tasty and traditional touch!!

Clayton J.

A Las Vegas staple, this is definitely the go to place when you want some good Mexican cooking. It goes way beyond the taco, burrito, enchilada fare and has a menu full of of excellent dishes made with steak, chicken, shrimp or fish. So many to choose from you won't even get through the full menu on your first visit. One of my favorite places to eat in Vegas. Homemade tortillas, chips and hot sauce, great atmosphere, great service, there is nothing about Lindo that disappoints. Highly recommended!

Neil S.

Best food, best service, best atmosphere - this place has it all. Friendly people and yes it is always packed and noisy - but that is because the food is so excellent! After eating here every other place that I used to enjoy just doesn't cut it. This place in addition to common Mexican items features an impressive array of sea food dishes as well - all tortillas are made fresh by hand right there - you can see them being made and believe me fresh is much better than refrigerated. The chips, salsa and bean dip are the best in town. Try the, "Uropan" combination - the green chilli is incredible - Don't miss out - go!

My friend and I went to lindo michoacan to grab dinner and get tattoos... :) I have to say I had a really good experience. The service was very fast, as soon as we walked in we were seated, then the chips came like 10s after, every thing rolled smoothly. Everyone seemed very pleasant, one of the managers I think his name was Oscar, checked on us...a lot lol but he was very nice. Our waiter was very honest lol, but everything was cool i was really full; the quesidilla were heaven! and pretty big in portion for an appetizer, i was full before my food came which the waiter kind of hinted at when i was ordering lol but overall I would go there again....i just hope they stay concistant with the great service

Friends, DW, and I dined here 01/08/12. This is a great off the strip Mexican restaurant. Arriving in the evening after dark, the restaurant does not look very inviting. However, based on yelp reviews we sucked it up and went in. Interior is nicely decorated if not a little dark in one room. Service staff were outstanding across the board. We ordered guacamole which was prepared table side. Fresh ingredients make such a difference! Neither of our friends "liked" guacamole, but I can tell you they helped us polish it off down to the last chip! Margaritas were very good. Beers were cold and served with chilled mug which is always a nice touch. Entrees were all outstanding. Among the 4 of us we ordered 1 burrito, 2 Carne Asada dishes, and Carnitas. All were excellent, with the accompanying homemade tortillas being an excellent treat! and when I say homemade I don't refer to the tortilla pressing machine that I have seen in other Mexican restaurants. Sylvia was making them by hand throughout the evening. We love Las Vegas and go about once a year, and will definitely come to Lindo Michoacan again.

After watching "Heat Seekers" on the Food Network, I decided to try the Cry Today, Cry Tomorrow chicken. Before I ordered, the manager gave me a taste of what I would be in for! This was impossibly HOT and could not be eaten and this was only about an eighth of a teaspoon, I had to run into the kitchen to ask for milk to kill the burn. I had already ordered an appetizer and a pork dish but lost my appetite do to the fire within and had to cancel my order, unfortunately. I would rate it 5 stars for service and atmosphere, but I really didn't eat. There is a big selection of tequilas and mezcals if you wish to imbibe. Special thanks to Jamie, my waiter for being accommodating while I was on fire!!

I've lived in Vegas for over 12 years and this is my favorite mexican. The food is always fresh, cooked to perfection and very affordable. I've never been there and not been happy. Their homemade salsa and chips start you off and then it's a wonderful experience.

Believe it or not, this might have been my first time eating at this franchised restaurant. We had our small company Christmas lunch here today. The sun is out but it is chilly. But, not as chilly inside the restaurant. I suspect when we got there the ambient temperature was 55 degrees. If any patrons had worn an outer garment into the establishment, they were still wearing it. I did not wear a coat and my feet to my hands were chilled. The service was good and the lunch menu is priced competitively. Nice decorum but, sorry, I just cannot get that excited about standard Mexican food. All I see is an extra 2" around my waistline without much payoff. I mean, like 15 gingerbread cookies are delish and you know there is a price to pay. But, seeing a visually uninspired enchilada with cheese and beans and still having to work an extra hour in the gym does not motivate me to go back. Maybe that is why margaritas are so popular in Mexican restaurants....if you get buzzed enough, who cares?

I'm not really a fan of Mexican restaurants being that I'm Mexican and I don't see the point in paying for stuff I grew up eating. This place was definitely an exception. The best thing about this place is the customer service. Everyone is so nice and so attentive. It was my sister's 21st birthday so they sang her a song with guitar and all and even gave her a shot and a churro desert! The food is delicious. As soon as you sit down you are offered chips with beans and salsa. Not only that but they also give you a nice little warm bowl of fideo soup. The food is very fresh and delicous. And the tortillas...OMGSH. They're homemade and soooooo good. I've never been to another restaurant that made hand made tortillas!! They really do treat you like family as soon as you walk in the door. The decor is also very authentic and you can tell the decorations were brought over from Mexico. You really don't find too many restaurants like these anymore.Can't wait to go back.

If you want super authentic street style Mexican go to El Gordos. If you want sitdown, there's nowhere like michoacan in Vegas. Granted they have gotten somewhat pricy which is why I give them only 4 stars.

If you order takeout, check the bag to make sure everything is there. I ordered a combo comprising 1 chili relleno and 1 cheese enchilada. They left out the relleno so that was $13.24 for 1 salty cheese enchilada and the sides (chips, salsa, soup, rice, beans). I called back, not to demand anything but just to inform them there had been a mistake. I was told ok and can you please hold. So I held. And waited. And hung up after 10 minutes. Check your takeout bag.

I live in the bay area and a friend of mine who's from Vegas recommended this place to me for our trip here this time around...its one of the most delicious Mexican food restaurants I've ever been to. Authentic food (really!! My hubby is part Mexican and he ordered the chile verde and devoured it), not to mention the decor makes you feel like you're really in Mexico! Tortillas are made in-house, guacamole is made table side, and the complimentary chips and salsa (and bean dip) is right up my alley. There was also a one man band playing that set the mood and the soup before dinner was tasty. great experience with friendly staff and our food came out so quickly! Wish we had one in Cali!

I was here for a work dinner and overall, the place is solid. The chips and table side guacamole were great. The drinks were a little weak. I ordered the coke carnitas and was a little disappointed. It didn't have a lot of favor. Other people enjoyed their dinners. Next time, I'll have to make a better selection. We didn't have room for dessert because we all ate too many chips -- they're that good. The service was very good. My water and my drink were never empty. And everyone was super nice. Definitely deserves a repeat visit when I'm in LV again.

Me and my wife stopped in on the recommendations of yelp. I would just like to say thank you! I have not found this authentic flavor in Tennessee yet. We had the brunch with margaritas and buffet. I usually don't like either, but t his was spectacular. I had the goat with rice, beans and rice. My wife had the chicken with rice. The only thing I did not like was the tripe soup but that was because of the tripe not the flavor. Everything was delicious. Make sure you check it out if you get a chance.

Brought my brother here for his bday! I been here twice total and both times the food was really good. We arrived about close to 10 pm and the place was very busy but we were seated quickly. There were a lot of celebrations going on this night, many bdays and a wedding. The staff did a good job of maintaining a good atmosphere by playing music, singing songs, and being very interactive with all customers. A lot of choices looked very good but I settled with a plate of Chicken Fajitas with flour tortillas. The food was good, nothing I can complain about or really hype. I finished my plate and my drink never went below half way, good service all around.

I'm in Las Vegas for work a lot and this place is a nice low-key getaway from the strip. Conveniently close to LVCC as well. Great food, service and micheladas.

We came here to celebrate my mother in law's birthday. It was really good this time around- maybe we ordered better dishes. Hmm, Anyway, The four of us had dinner here for $46.00. My husband and I both got the fajita burrito, but I got the chicken and my husband got the beef. It was excellent- the burritos were huge. Mine was just as stated in the menu (chicken, onions, and peppers), my husband made a few changes. The burrito was served with green sauce and cheese on it and guacamole on the side. I didn't finish it, and took the rest home. My mother in law got the chimichanga (hers was huge too). Her husband got the two taco combo. And the birthday sombrero serenade with three halves of a churro and whipped cream. was funny. The tequila shot was also complimentary. The server called it "sugar and water." How funny. Next time, we're probably going to order the same thing.

I cannot believe I did not review this place years ago when I first came here but I will now! About 4 years ago I was in Vegas for a convention and my cousin took me to Lindo Michoacan for dinner one night and I was blown away. It is the type of Mexican food that makes you want to sit at the restaurant for three hours just to not be full so you can start eating again. My wife and I were recently in vegas for the NASCAR race and when we met up with my cousin again we did have plans to go to a nice steakhouse but nope....we changed those to get some of the best Mexican food I have ever had...again. My wife could believe the size of the burrito she ordered and everything....everything was just as good as it was 4 years ago. Big time props to Lindo Michoacan and next time I am in Vegas you will see me again.

Service is great, but honestly the mexican food here is over rated. I came here a year ago, I must have still been drunk and thought the food was great, the next time I came I was sober and did not like the food that much.. They have great service, and make tortillas there.. That was cool..

A favorite date night spot. The table-side guacamole is amazing, as well as many of the entrees with their varying sauces (i love sauces). Very traditional and authentic, negra modelo and some pollo zirahuen and I'm happy! Carlos the server is fantastic, we ask for him every time, a great guy!

Joe V.

An absolute delightful meal. Having lived in California for some time, I have just assumed that there is great Mexican food everywhere. I couldn't be more wrong, and I've really struggled to find good sit-down Mexican in the Las Vegas valley. ...well the struggle is over. The food quality is excellent (the table-side guacamole is top-notch) and the service is quite good. I come back often, and have forsaken all other Mexican joints.

This place was awesome! I visit Vegas quite a bit and usually eat along the strip but decided to try a local place. It was a good choice. Food was delicious and very big portions for the cost. Staff was beyond friendly and the service was great. My cup never reached empty before the waiter was there refilling it. Oh and since it was my birthday they sang to me and I got some churros and a free shot! I will definitely go back!

Met a friend for lunch here. The chips, salsa and bean dip is wonderful. I had the #24 lunch special, Shrimp and Garlic with beans and rice. Camarones de Mojo de Ajo. Nice and garlicky. Great sopping the sauce with corn tortillas. Great service. Go here for the lunch menu, then try the dinner menu. It's the bomb!

Rugie M.

So, I waited for about a week to write this review and this is why. It was my best friend's graduation and to celebrate we went to this location, it was my first time and she highly recommended it. I ordered the Mole Pablano and the Chile Relleno, both were very good. I have not tried any mole dishes before but since this is, as what the others described it as "authentic," I guess it was not a bad place to try my first mole. With the live music and Mexican decoration, and the sporadic "birthday" or "congratulatory" chants, gives this restaurant a unique Mexican experience that I have not yet experience. But let's get down to why I am giving Lindo Michoacan "3-stars." Although I value the quality of food very highly, I also value service. It was a busy weekend, but I can't really say whether or not it is a "normal" weekend for them. We had a big group, a part of about 20, and we had one waiter. I was one of the last guests to arrive and the waiter was getting everyone's drinks, I had a slight hesitation when he asked me and before I know it, he already was on the next guest. He also kept going back to me asking me, very sternly, if I was ready to order, wanting me to make a decision. After the third time, I said I was ready, but mind you, he wasn't really taking any order, he just wanted to know if we were ready. At this point, I was already peeved. And, he also managed to annoy half of our party. One of our party had a specific order and this was repeated 3x, twice in English and once in Spanish. When his order came, he was surprised that it was wrong. He pointed this out to our server and our server told him they can scoop it out for him or hand him a spoon to do it himself. After some deliberation, he gave the plate back and said he does not want the food anymore. At this point, the server called him an "a-hole" in Spanish, NOT KNOWING HE IS FLUENT IN SPANISH! The manager was called and talked to our friend and only then when this server came over to "personally apologize." I do not believe it was sincere at all since he only have done so since he got caught! There was no compensation, that I was aware of the same server kept serving us. I was not happy about his service and wished we did not leave any tip/gratuity towards him. I would have left it to the bus boys. Big question, will I go back? I would only go back if a friend, who also speaks Spanish, wanted to go. Don't get me wrong, I guess this is an isolated incident and the other staff are welcoming.

Jesus will eat here when he returns. He probably eats here now; I certainly would if I could afford to sit for every meal. Every employee with which we interacted was friendly. Service was fast. Jaime served us and made excellent recommendations. The place is nice and is clean. The location is unfortunate but not hazardous. The food. Oh the food. The salsa was like sucking on a delicious curling iron; they aren't dumbing down the heat for tourists. The tableside guacamole had six or seven ingredients and renewed my love for it. I think every facet of the meal was homemade, from the tortillas to the enchilada sauce. The menu is extensive and obscure to this Tex-Mex aficionado, but I will return to try everything. Makes me wish I had given fewer 5-star ratings to other establishments, cuz this one is truly in the top 1%

Mr. M.

Carlos is the worst server there. I was sat got my drink and then waited 10 mins for the Guac that I wanted. Mean while a table gets sat next to us and the place wasn't busy like it has been last time I went there. The other table gets drink and their order taken before he even thinks about taking ours then walks away. No water in our glasses I am out of my beverage from the bar I have to wave him down and get him to come over to me I ask for the bill because I am tired of dealing with idiots and then all of a sudden he wants to be the best waiter in the restaurant. I told him not to bother his manager because I didn't want to waste his time. There is nothing that the manager could have done even if he spoke with me to please me after this visit here. Yet to remind you that I live 24 miles away from the restaurant in North North Las Vegas. Needless to say I will no longer go back to visit this restaurant. This is the first time that I got so mad that I left a restaurant. I am a chef and I know that sometimes people are busy but when half the restaurant is full that is not busy. It just means that you knew someone to get the job and trust me the only break this guy got was when they hired him.

Service is excellent the moment we arrived til we left. The signature pork carnitas platter was edible, but a little dry and tough. The rice was dry as well. The guacamole was very fresh. The combo #1 was better with an excellent chile rilleno, but dry chicken enchilada, and a good taco. The house mango and peach were excellent. The dessert menu was disappointing since they had no tres leces cake instead a cheesecake? A lunch on saturday for $61 plus $12 tip is not worth going back to.

It is my second time eating here. I am not a local so i cant enjoy this place as much as i wish i could so when i am in Vegas i make sure i eat here at least once. The food is great! Some things are not completely "authentic" but its as close as you can get. The table-side guacamole is so good. I has the beef flautas this time and they were so good. The place is not cheap but the portions are huge. The agua de Jamaica was delicious! The bus boys/waiters are on it! As soon as my cup was half full they immediately came to refill it, and when i say immediately i mean it... They are so attentive and i never had to ask for anything since they offered way before i even thought about it. We enjoy eating here so much because the place looks so nice and authentic, the service is great and all the food we have tried has really surprised us so far. Definitely recommend this place.

I organized a no-host dinner here in June 2014. They were very accommodating over the phone, taking my reservation for 25 and not hesitating when I called a few days later increasing it to 35. What they didn't tell me was that they wouldn't have all of the tables ready at our reservation time. We had one large table in the middle of a room but it wasn't big enough for all of our guests. People had to stand around and wait until diners finished and their tables/booths became available. It was a casual group so people took it in stride, but it was a bit stressful for me as the organizer until everyone had a seat. The wait staff was very efficient and made sure they had a drink and dinner order for every guest. This was more difficult than you would imagine as we had people up and about, visiting with people at other tables. I heard nothing but compliments about all of the entrees ordered and I know that my mole was quite delicious. One more comment about the restaurant -- it is quite loud. Between all of the conversations and the wandering mariachi band, you have to raise your voice to have a conversation. This is not good or bad -- the place is quite festive. But if you are looking for something more subdued then this isn't the place for you. Overall we really enjoyed this restaurant and I would not hesitate to recommend it to people going to visit Vegas.

Absolutely AMAZING service!! The food was excellent...especially the fresh guacamole!!! My boyfriend told our server that it was my birthday. At the end of our delicious meal they placed a humongous sombrero on top of my head and the servers and the mariachi band sung a version of "happy birthday to you". Then they brought me a shot of tequila and a few of the best tasting churros I've ever had in my life!! It was such a wonderful experience!! We will definitely be back!!

I had different Mexican people refer me to this place as what they consider the best Mexican food in the area. I was actually surprised because I just thought it was OK and I wasn't impressed. I got my favorite dish, chile verde plate, and the meat was just too dried out. I just cant find good Mexican food in this area and that's probably because I've had the best Mexican food from California and Texas.

Mike C.

Best Mexican food in. Vegas bar none. They authentic and the table side guacamole is excellent. They have a few dishes in this restaurant that I have only seen in Mexico. I would recommend either of their mole selections because both are excellent, but my absolute favorite is the Tia Esther chicken plate. It's a little spicy but it's amazing. Be careful not to fill up on chips

Danniell K.

Wow! I was in Vegas for a conference at the Hilton and looking for a good place to eat because the casino food was horrible and expensive. A friend recommended this place. He also recommended the guacamole that was made at the table. Wow again, the guacamole was amazing! There were 4 of us and we each had a different item for the main course, each one was delicious. Can't wait to go back! The margaritas aren't bad either.. :-)

Amazingly flavorful mexican food..!! Loved the strawberry margarita , bean and spicy salsa dip and fresh hot chips!! For a enchilada non-lover, I am totally converted!! I loved their cheese enchiladas!! So many vegetarian options!! Even their rice n beans don't have chicken stalk. Great portions. Excellent service.. Can't wait to come back again!!

Erick U.

This is my go-to Mexican food place when in LV. The service is outstanding first of all, they serve Pepsi but have Coke in the original glass bottles of you ask. When they bring you your chips they come with salsa AND beans. The Sopa de Fideo is a little bit of home when I'm on my business travels. My favorite thing to get here is the Al Pastor taco plate with nice cold Michelada. I'm not a huge fan of any of their seafood here, but their original take on the classic steak more than makes up for that. Pretty sure this place has been on TV a few times. Parking kind of sucks during dinner time, thankfully they have a large lot in the back.

Linda M.

This restaurant was beyond amazing!! The service and, the ambience was unsurpassed!!! The food was delicious and very authentic which is hard to find in Vegas. We are a Mexican family so we definitely appreciated the amazing food. We had a very large group of 22 people and were celebrating two birthdays. Noe, the manager greeted us once we arrived and made sure that we were taken care. Our waiters, Christian and Angel were extremely attentive and their service was efficient and prompt. To celebrate my nieces birthday, the mariachis serenaded my niece with a couple of songs, and the servers also came to sing happy birthday and gave her a special birthday drink. I can not say more about this restaurant, it was just such a memorable experience for our family! I'm just sad that there aren't any Lindo Michoacan's in Los Angeles. I can't wait to go back to Vegas and go back to Lindo Michoacan! :)

I still dont understand how Las Vegas can rank this as best of Las Vegas in the RJ. 3 of us tried this last night using the 20% off coupon in the RJ. This has got to be some of the worst and most overpriced mexican food we have ever had, even with the coupon. This place was packed with white people and not many mexicans except for the servers. 2 people in our party were mexican and the both said this was just a glorified taco bell. Food was covered with white/yellow goooe oily cheese. portions were small. My friends called the free sopa de fideo, sopa de calcetenas (sock water) It had no flavor and just a tomatoe colored water with pasta in it. Guys, there are much better mexican restaurants in town. I dont know how this chain stays in business. The prices are $$$$$$$$ $19 for any seafood, $14 for combos, $15 for chicken dishes.

Gawwwd... I hate going here. I went today for my Mom's bday but it only reminded me of how this place sucks. First off, I will give credit to where credit is deserved. There service, bussers, waiters, and so on are excellent. they are fast, friendly and have lots of character. The live music is excellent too. Now, for the bad. The hostess, are TERRIBLE, three of them told me that my wait would have only been 20 minutes. 45 minutes later I was pissed, don't tell me a ballpark number if it isn't even close. I tried to talk to one to see what the issue was and in the middle of explaining the situation, she cuts me off to talk to someone who just walked in threw the door... These hosts don't do Sh**t. I was there almost an hour and I didn't see one of them sit anyone, all they did was write incoming guests names on a piece of paper and that's it. There food is blehhh... I don't think it has flavor...

P. P.

There are so many fantastic things I can say about this restaurant. First off, AMAZING view during the night. Second of all, the food is lovely. They kept the salsa and chips flowing as we had our beers. Ordering was easy (they even allowed us some swaps) and the wait and bus staff was not only super-genial and accommodating, but whoever hired them has a touch for the dramatic. So many handsome guys all in one place!! A lot of restaurants in the area shove you out after you finish eating, not here. We stayed over an hour after the meal and there was absolutely no pressure to leave. Quite a wonderful place for a family dinner, a date, or just anything... it's special for any occasion!

Mmmmm...fresh guac. 'Nuff said. As authentic as I will ever come to Mexican food. Tasty dishes including the Shrimp Ceviche and Chile Verde. Very accomodating staff, as they must have made guacamole at our table of 12 around 5 or 6 times. A little off the beaten Strip, but well worth the travel.

Great authentic Mexican food! We had a very nice dinner(chicken and steak fajitas) and the servers were attentive without being bothersome. The nicest part was the complimentary ride back to our hotel in the restaurant's Honda Scion. That saved us a $25 cab fare! This is a must for people looking to eat good Mexican and get away from all the over-priced casino/hotel restaurants!

We were in Vegas attending a convention and decided to explore where the locals go to eat and stay off the strip. This place was highly recommended by our hotel so we tried it for dinner our first night in town. We loved it so much that we went back for lunch on our way to the airport two days later.

The best Mexican restaurant in Vegas period. This place is awesome and traditional mexican with the best handmade flour tortilla's and salsa in the Vegas area. Amazing!

It took me one bite of the salsa to know that the food, no matter what I ordered was going to be great. I live in San Diego, which is fairly close to Mexico, and as such, has plenty of good Mexican food, so when it's bad or average, I'm going to recognize it. My personal theory is that the farther you get from Mexico, the worse the Mexican food becomes. I don't normally write reviews, and the reason I'm writing the review isn't because of the great food, it's because of the extra mile they went. Actually, probably quite a few extra miles. More on that later. Initially, I wasn't so sure I was going to love it as I knew nothing about it other than our friends had chosen it after some research and the shuttle was coming to get us(a group of 9) at the Aria(new hotel, central on the strip). A word of advice for anyone staying @ the Aria: good luck having a shuttle pick you up. This hotel "has two main entrances". Seriously, they both might as well be main entrances. This will no doubt cause some confusion for any shuttle driver coming to get you. As a result, we were off to a late start. The story of the restuarant is kind of cool. Apparently the guy learned to cook the Michoacan style from nuns at a semenary. Transalation: authentico! I don't even know the name of what I ordered. "Linda's plate" or something. It's basically chicken w/ a specially prepared sauce. It was fantastic. Quite a few of the dishes appear to feature specialized sauces. I won't even go more into the details of the food than to see we all loved what we ordered, and much of what's on the menu is unique and not something you can find anywhere else, or at least, do not often find, or when you do it's "just ok". When in doubt, as your server, they will not lead you wrong. Other highlights include the Mariachi band which played 4 songs for our group. They were great, and are something that I personally love. Reminds me of being a gringo tourist for some reason. The reason for the review, however was the service. everyone was friendly, but where they really went the extra mile is that one of the members of our group had forgotten her purse in the shuttle on the return trip, but she didn't realize it until after the shuttle was already on the way back to the restuarant. In case you are not aware, Las Vegas is probably the worst city in the world to run out of money. Losing your purse it kind of a big deal. They have our sincerest gratitude for finding the purse(with everything in it of course) and droving all the way back to the Aria just to drop it off for us and save us the cab fare it would have required to get it. For that, we thank them, and for that, they get a glowing review. To summarize: Totally worth going. It is not always easy to find good Mexican food, and this place has great Mexican food.If you have questions on the menu, ask the staff and enjoy whatever it is they give you. They will definately take care of you.

I love this place! I lived in Henderson for 2-3 years and everytime I go back for a visit I have to go here. It reminded me of the food I grew up on. Homemade corn tortillas, awesome mole, and Milanesa. I have taken family and friends there and everyone loves it. It does get busy on weekends but there is plenty of parking and they have a bar if you want to have a maragrita while you wait. The waiters are friendly and the atmosphere is warm and inviting.

It was a warm and dry 9pm Tuesday. My cohort and myself needed sustenance. He was expecting fast food fare, I was desiring carnitas. I told him, head forth towards home, we're going to Lindo. To his surprise regardless of the fact he has lived down the street from here since, oh say, the late 90s my poor friend has failed to enjoy in the delicacies of Lindo's fine Mexican fare. We're greeted promptly as we enter, the staff's garb clean cheerful, somewhat traditional with clearly written name tags of Victor, Carla, Jose, and so much more. The smell of the spot is enticing, the decor borderline cheesy yet, for some reason it is not cheesy at all. Not unauthentic like Macayos, it is actually just right. The manager you can see pacing around making sure everything is running fine. The servers touching base on tables making sure the customers including the viciously drunk lady across from our table swimming in her margarita while her date just nods hoping she doesn't order an item from each section of the menu. Let me put it this way., the atmosphere is great. Casual yet not too informal. I can take a date here and she would be happy. The place works period. Food, oh the food. The delicious tasty food. Forget what my buddy chap had, it's not his review. I can say this, the man was shocked he had not enjoyed Lindo before. His food, his beer, his shot of 1942, his astonishment of the quality that went into everything. Hell we even had some tomatillo soup and this man did not bitch one bit. He's a beer snob, a steak snoot, a foodie of self hallucinating proportions when he's hopped up on port. I had the Carnitas in Coca-Cola sauce. Delicious, if only Chinese food could do sauces like this without the MSG. Seriously, tender succulent piece of pork in this delightful sauce gave me the sweet and the meaty in one plate. Fresh guac on the side, beans that were beany, rice that was ricy. I had no complaints save for the fact I couldn't finish it. Granted we had two bowls of chips and two refills of salsa, but I digress. Food is on point, service is on point, the scene was set, and my stomach was satisfied. Would I recommend this to my friends family and even strangers? You bet your ass I will. Hell I even skipped some details so my fingers don't go numb.

I am not a huge fan of Mexican food but my friend wanted to check it out so I said why not, the reviews were very good and its right down the street. I was impressed that the place is always busy and packed but the quality of food and service is excellent. It is probably the best Mexican restaurant I have every been to and I have been to so many I cannot count since I living in Arizona and Las Vegas. Go there and you will not be disappointed, if I was more into Mexican cuisine I would give it 5 stars, well to be fair it deserves it so 5 stars it is.

Recently had a wedding reception/dinner and the service, food & entertainment was ABSOLUTELY AMAZING. I was really worried cause I had 70 guests & was just trusting a referral. While making all the arrangements for my daughters special day & speaking to a couple of the managers on different occasions everything turned out GREAT and then some. Thank you Lindo Michocan for having such a wonderful staff.

Anyone who's read my reviews of Mexican restaurants knows that I judge a Mexican restaurant, first, by how they make Chile Relleno... AND then anything else they might have. My first impression of Lindo Michoacan was that this restaurant does not take Chile Relleno seriously, as the establishment serves it only as an ala-carte item or as an item included within their combination dishes. There are NO entrees with Chile Relleno by itself.... the waiter recommended that I order a couple of Chile Rellenos and just make my own entree... He just does not see the difference! Chips & Salsa - Large crispy and warm tortilla ccrn chips. Very tasty and appetizing Bean Dip and a Red Chili Salsa concoction. FYI: my kids told me to take it easy on the Chips and Salsa during Lunch, as Lindo Michoacan charges customers at Lunch for extra Chips and Salsa! WTF!!!! Chili Relleno - Abover average size Chile, but immersed in a very watery, very watery sauce. Relleno disintegrated while it was just sitting there! Ttalking to my Hispanic friends in California, I found out that Relleno are a very difficult item to make... but Rellenos are also a staple of any Hispanic restaurant. Camarones Ranchero - Immersed in a watery Ranchero sauce that was reminiscent of the Chile Relleno sauce.... coulda been the same sauce! For $16 the pricing is just way too much money for the below average preparation. There is NOTHING innovative about the recipe for this Shrimp in Ranchero Sauce entree that would justify the high price! Lindo Michoacan should apologize to every customer before seating them on their high prices and below average quality. Tortillas - Hand-made, home-made flour tortillas. Besides the Chips and Salsa, the best part of the Lindo Michoacan experience. I'll temper my two star rating with my kids' above average ratings. They love this Mexican restaurant for some reason. The positives of the home-made Tortillas and the Chips & Salsa does not offset the negatives of watery sauces that smother the Chile Relleno and Camarones Ranchero compounded by the very high prices and below-average service.

We had lunch at 1P; waited about 10 minutes for a table, ordered from the Lunch Menu. Great, friendly service and terrific food, reasonable prices. Tortillas made fresh, on the premises. Fresh ingredients. Best Mexican we've had for years.

Hands down Best Traditional Mexican Food in town... Highly recommened. Can be pricey taking the whole familia...& you know mexicans..grandma, tia, tio by the time everyone orders your starving.. not to long before they bring you a small bowl of fideo (soup). Fresh tortillas, cold corona, sizzleing fajitas... wow, im probably gonna go after work.

I'm not a huge fan of Mexican food but we tried this place close by. They start you off with fresh tortilla chips and spicy salsa and bean dip. The bean dip is good but I am not crazy about it. I tried a pulled pork and scrambled egg (it seemed kind of like a breakfast concept). It was just ok to me. The horchata was good, and the tortillas come out nice and hot but cool and harden up very fast if you don't eat it right away. They seem to have a huge variety of different Mexican food, I even saw meats like beef tounge.

this is my fave mex rest in vegas!! i was first introduce to this place by sum loser guy who happen to be a total lame all weekend , he was my friends b/f friend, the only thing he did right that weekend was take us all to this restaurant, anyway we went here and the we sat down and the server came immediately with the salsa and bean dip! the bean dip was soo good, the beans tasted like they were just made and smashed ! i got the enchilada and chili relleno, omg!!! the enchilada was meaty, the chicken was juicy and spiced to perfection! the chili relleno was cheesy and gooey and spicy just the way i like it! this is definitely my spot when i come to vegas, and so far eveyone i have brought here enjoy it too!! the service is awesome, food is awesome, the enviroment is awesome! this place is just awesome!!

I was in Vegas, tired of the boring junk on the strip, I was checking Yelp from my phone, found a few reviews. The reviews of Lindo were good (especially the recent ones) so I suggested it and the whole family drove over. From the moment we sat down our group (6 people) we were totally taken care of. The service was amazingly fast, (food too) the menu was like 6 huge pages of great dishes. Everyone in the party got something different and everyone was raving after we walked out. The manager stopped by once or twice to check on us as well as numerous staff. I can't thank my fellow Yelpers enough; this has to have been the best YELP find ever - however I have found a lot of really good places. If you are in Vegas for any reason you owe it to yourself to try this place, I was 100% satisfied and I bet you will be as well.

First time visiting few nights ago, and was impressed. Bean dip was tasty, but salsa decent. Friend from Texas said "Bah, better in Texas!" but his nachos could have fed at least three people, and my steak quesadilla which turned into a shrimp 'dilla somewhere between the waiter and my plate, was outstanding. Would order shrimp 'dilla again, for sure, despite the mix-up. I heard their peach margaritas are notable, too. Will find out next time.

Excellent food - great service - Funky Pimp Juice I ate here over the weekend with the help my favorite Chowhounder (see: yelp.com/user_details?usâ€¦ ) - Jim C.. He seems to find the gems with the help of the obscure tools of the chowhound site... Pros: Awesome tasty food Great service - Noe Rocks! Live music (Friday night) Locals, locals, locals... Cons: weak margaritas Highly recommended! For out-of-towners this is worth the drive or the cab-ride! more laters...

Rosalvita S.

my girls and i would stop by all the time and would always enjoy our evenings here but this time my bf and i decided to stop by for brunch and wasnt that wowed about it...sure they had a variety of food but it wasnt tasty as their regular dishes...the only good thing was that we left paying $25 for brunch and 8 margaritas which were included in the brunch...oh and cant forget about the homemade tortillas made there...stop by and order from their regular menu you cant go wrong with that...btw the service here is awesome they are all very welcoming and always on top of things!

best Mexican food in the whole town ! has a good bar where the drinks are very good . great menu lots of options . food comes very fast . there are a few of these places around town but by far this is the best . the staff is always ready to help you with what ever you need. and when it is all said and done the price is very fair.

This Restaurant is like Heaven, The Food is really good, and the Staff there are really nice. A lot of people though. My family and i Visited Lindo Michoacan this past Summer because of the Review But we had to Wait for a about 20 minutes. We were about to leave. But then they found a great table for us. I got to see how the hand made tortillas were made from that Table.( They got alot of Kool Mexican decorations. Lindo Michoacan doesn't disappoint, But over all its The Best Mexican restaurant in Nevada
(5)
KT M.

What can you say about Lindo that hasn't been said. I have never had a bad meal here. Ive been to the other, newer, fancier locations but find this one the best! Look out for the Cadillac Margaritas, though! They go down easy but if you have more than one standing up isn't so easy! I have been going for years, have had pork, beef, chicken, seafood and have simply never been less than completely satisfied!

Kim D.

I had to stop by this place before a show and honestly, it wasn't worth it esp. considering the distance between the strip and this place. I ordered for a take out and they were so rude about it. I wanted deep fried ice cream because it is the most delicious dessert, and it sucked. Hands down, the ice cream sucked. And the ice cream cost $6. So sad...

Michie L.

Since my sister lives in the LV, I've been able to hit this off-the-strip, real deal Mexican spot a couple of times when visiting her. It's refreshing to eat at a Mexican restaurant that is not upscale, without gimmicks, and has tasty margaritas. They also have an extensive menu with all kinds of yummy-sounding options, although their veggie selection is pretty thin. For an appetizer, try to the nopalitos--grilled cactus with onions that you wrap up in their homemade tortillas--delicious! Plus nopalitos is so fun to say. Nopalitos! My enchiladas verdes were very satisfying, though not the best I've ever had. Still, I will make it a point to eat at Lindo Michoacan next time I visit Vegas, especially on that last day when being on the strip for another moment might make me choke the 200th girl I see with a tiny waist and balloon-like double D's.

Anytime I don't feel like cooking, or If I have company I usually come here for good authentic mexican food. The Cocteles are AWESOME! (its the usual for me) but I always make the mistake of stuffing my face with there chips and salsa (its sooo good!). Everyone who I have taken here or the other locations have never complained. If you want good mexican food in a nice location I would say this is the place!

I had such high hopes and was so excited to try this place. First experience was on a Monday night and they were hoppin'. Live music and all. Service was good but my meal lacked. I thought it was perhaps my menu choice so I gave it a second shot. Yet again I was disappointed in my food. Always love good chips and salsa pre-meal which they have. Good atmosphere, especially if you're with a group. But sad to report that I was dissatisfied with the taste of the food. I will say they have an amazing view.

This place is awesome..Locals told us about this place a few years ago and we always make it a stopping point whenever we go to Vegas(like in 3 hours:-)..They even have video poker if you want to gamble..The buffet on Sat/Sun morning is awesome..If you like/love Mexican food, you definitely want to stop here...Very easy to find....Pete

UPDATE UPDATE UPDATE: Since I worte my last review of thi splace, I hace since gone back. I went this past Labor day weekend for lunch. I am so very very disappointed. The menu prices have gone up so much. Lunch and dinner used to be a decent price, now they have gone up nearly 2 bucks for each entree. They also used to include a small bowl of soup with lunch, now it is 4.95 for it!!!! On top of all this, they provide only ONE refill of your beverage at lunch. So sad that the owners seem to have gotten very greedy and began to overprice. Despite this being one of my favorite Mexican resturants of all time, the price, quality and greed will not allow me to go back. I will look for something new. You may never find another Mexican food resturant like this. WOW WOW WOW!!!!! The food, awsome, the service, awsome, the price, awsome. This family has done so well, and knows how to treat a customer!

if you like salt as a primary flavor than this is the place. after reading many good things I ate there my last trip to LV, the Chili Verde was so salty i had to cut it with a average Margaretta. no taste of tomitios or green chilli lack luster rice and beans. even the stuffed pepper had non melted cheese (couldn't call it a chilli rellno )in said this place was needing a reboot,

Lindo Michoacan is the best Mexican Restaurant in Las Vegas. The food and service are excellent. I've noticed the service is not so great on Sunday nights, but on Friday and Saturday nights it is a well run operation. I recommend any of the carne plates. Also, the home made tortillas are incredible! I'm a snob when it comes to Mexican food, trust me this place delivers. I drive across town to eat there.

When reading reviews I always discard the worst and the best, assuming that the worst are written by the competition and the best by friends or family members of the establishment. So I liked what I read about Lindo michoacan and decided to give it a try and I was glad I did. I am not sure if this restaurant is for everybody because if I were to take my grown kids there they would not appreciate the authentic Mexican food, because they have not been exposed to it, the only food they know about is tacos, burritos, enchiladas, tamales, chiles rellenos, nachos, etc. As soon as you browse the menu you realize that this place is different, they have dishes that you would find only in restaurants that specialize in certain kind of food or at your grandma's house. For instance they have Mole Poblano and Pipian. I ordered Camarones a la TampiqueÃ±a. They were delicious, I had that nice flavor in my mouth for the rest of the day. Yeah, the chips, the salsa and the beans dip are OK but in reality I never choose my restaurants based on that, to me the main dishes are the ones that count. Definitely, every time I'm in Vegas from now on I will go there to taste another of their tasty dishes.

Prolly one of the better meals I had in Vegas in my most recent visit. I have had really bad luck when eating in Vegas, so feel free to recommend any great places, hole in the wall, or anything above. Yelp was good to me this time, quick search yielded Original Lindo MichoacÃ¡n no too far from where were so we went for it. Nice service, check cool place, check good food, check good prices, check As said before, one of the better meals I've had in Vegas

FIRST, its authentic and original...has been here in that location since i can remember... the service is awesome and the atmosphere is quite festive with the decor and the mariachi's moving around the room... its a large menu, so everything is not awesome but overall.... my meals and experiences there have always been acceptable...i just love the service! my only suggestion to lindo...please learn what a REAL michelada is... pouring clamato juice in a jar and adding spices is something my four year old can do!

Just recently I relocated to Las Vegas from San Diego aka "The Land of the Best Mexican Food" lol ok ok Maybe that's just my personal opinion. Since we've moved out here we have been on the hunt for decent Mexican food in Las Vegas. My friend Lacey introduced me to Lindo Michoacan in Henderson location. I so impressed with the beautiful setting over looking the Las Vegas skyline. I've been to the Henderson location a few times and every time I have such a great experience. The food was amazing!!! I enjoyed the "Gallo al Chipotle Estilo" and the freshly made Guacamole. They have live music, freshly maid tortillas, the Henderson location has the best night view of LaGreat costumer service, great food, great ambiance, and my favorite Mexican food in Las Vegas.

My family and I went to this restaurant for the first time last night. I was worried that we would be waiting for awhile since the parking lot was completely full, but we were able to get right in. It's true the tables are a bit crowded in, but the service was excellent. They had this lovely mariachi band playing live music and the decor was full of Mexican pottery and plaques. Very fun atmosphere in which to dine! The staff was so friendly and nice! The food was just amazing and very authentic tasting! My family can't stop talking about their experience dining there! We will definitely go there again, soon!

this place has the best guacamole i have ever had in my life, and they make it right at your table. This place was VERY busy when i was here on cindo de mayo but its a true mexican restaurant. The ambience is awesome... there was a mariachi band and a guy singing while playing guitar while we enjoyed our dinner and delicious margarita mangos!! Everyone in my group was happy with their meal :)

Very busy place. Our first time there (found reviews online). Long wait (temp 109 D) but chairs available. It was Fathers Day. Service was great and food was above average. I had an "organic" margarita that was very good. Service was pretty phenomenal considering the masses of people trying to get in. I have no idea if they take reservations. Did not check. But...will certainly go back.

The staff are friendly and provided excellent service. I had the lunch special #5 Two Tacos. It was very tasty! I could tell the shells were fresh made. the shredded beef and chicken was well seasoned and very flavorful. I look forward to future business trips to Vegas; I will definitely return!

Located east of the strip - easy to find. Lots of locals go here. The atmosphere has lots of color / ceramic tiles all over. The margaritas are excellent with premium liquor choices as well, the menu variety is wide with excellent chicken, shrimp and beef dishes. I tried their Dulce de Leche cake and being a caramel fan, I thought I died and went to heaven. Their guacamole appetizer is made tableside just like a Caesar salad - and with your choice of seasonings/spices - that too was excellent. Highly recommended - didn't need reservations surprisingly and the place holds a lot more than meets the eye. If in doubt, though, make a reservation.

Sherry M.

HUGE menu with a mucho grande selection of south of the border culinary delights! I usually go for the basic combo plates and I've never been disappointed. Their enchiladas are my favorite, but then again ... If it has melted cheese in it, on it, or near it, I am going to order it. They give you fresh tortilla chips and their house salsa plus bean dip upon arrival, and it is all mucho yummy, although the salsa is a little HOT for this gringette. I'd prefer pico de gallo, but that is just me. Very good Mexican food served in a lively environment by a friendly staff. And their homemade tortillas are completely addicting -- You have been warned.

Virginia L.

Went here last week and had the cilantro steak as recommended by a friend. It was one of the very best Mexican restaurants i've been too and the steak tasted really good! We had a jar of mango mojito and it was very good as well. Dinner for 3 & mojito came to about 100. Will definitely go back!

Natalie L.

Lindo's has several locations but the one located on E. Desert Inn is superior to the other branches. I am guilty of ordering the same thing everytime I am there which is probably at least once a month. Their food is always consistent. I give them kudos for making the best guacamole tableside! The avocado is always fresh. My lunchtime favorite is the Camarones de Sarandeado. The portion is just right and the sauce is what completes the whole meal!
(5)
Kevin D.

If only... All the ingredients are there, but the execution is a bit wanting. The margaritas are too sweet, compared to their Henderson location and the table-side guacamole is heavy-handed on the salt. Tweaking the margarita mix and adjusting the portions of jalapenos, onions and salt in the guacamole would make this a "perfect" Friday-after-hours hang out - with "futbol" on the screen over the bar. If only...

Not the best part of town but I was told that its cheaper to drive here than to fly to Mexico. That spoke volumes to me. It looks so legit inside and out. It tastes even more legit. Only advice is come hungry. I didn't order the burrito but I seen it and it was as big as your head. Maybe even bigger and it was around $10.00. Our server told us that this family restaurant has a bunch of restaurants now Lindo, Vive, and some other type of Michoacan too. This is the original. Fun dancing and singing going on. Not only just the Mariachi group. Cant wait to revisit and sit on the noisy bar side of the restaurant.

Joline E.

When asked about a good Mexican restaurant in town, our friend immediately recommended the original Lindo Michoacan. He sited it as authentic and the most noted in Vegas. We enjoyed the atmosphere and wide variety on the menu. We were thrilled to learn it was happy hour (at 3pm), margaritas and beer were only half price, and that the lunch menu was still going. Half the menu had English translations and half did not but our server was very good at explaining the unique parts of each dish and we had a hard time deciding! We appreciated that the flavors were rich and dishes somewhat unique from other Mexican popular restaurants. I felt like something fresh so ordered the fish tacos (unoriginal, I know). The fish was high quality, grilled (I had the choice of that or fried), and very juicy! The sauces were also yummy and different than others I've had. My friends got the Pescado Ajillo (garlic fish) and Beef in Chili Sauce and found both to be unique. The garlic in the fish sauce was a little burnt tasting. The beef was lean and served in hearty portion. The margaritas we tried were delicious and my friend really enjoyed the spicy rim on his michelada! Another best were the fresh, hot, handmade corn tortillas we were served straight from the oven! Our bill for 3 people for hearty lunch and drinks was $50 and we were happy with the quality and taste.

This place was suggested by someone and turned out to live up to its claim. The restaurant was busy but we were promptly seated. There was not a moment where we didn't feel attended to as multiple employees checked on us. Service is top notch here. Food came quick, was full of flavor and well presented. The lunch pricing was a great value as we found ourselves paying less than we budgeted, and less than we'd expect for this level of service. We are happy with this suggestion and we recommend it too!

I've been here a few times and I've never had a bad experience here. Last time we came was Cinco De mayo and they always give out free stuff and the mariachi band is playing live music but no matter what time of the year it's always a good time at Lindo. This last visit we came we were seated immediately and our server was prompt on taking our order and greeting us. Complimentary beans and salsa came out right away but be careful not to eat a lot of them because you will get full fast. My boyfriend loves micheladas so he ordered one of those I'm not a beer drinker and don't drink a lot so I had a coke. Straight from the bottle like in Mexico. I swear that is the only way to drink coke it just does something that a can doesn't do. We decided to order from the lunch menu to save a few bucks and I didn't know that it came with a free soft drink otherwise I wouldn't have ordered the coke. Call me frugal but hey I might be ;). My boyfriend who loves anything pork ordered carnitas which was juicy and tender. I had enchiladas one beef and one chicken. Super good. Both come with rice and beans and I couldn't even finish both enchiladas because I was already full after having chips and beans. The carnitas also came with fresh guac and fresh tortillas. Man those were yummy. Lunch specials do not come with sopa de fideo so we also ordered some of that prior to eating our entrees. Plenty of busboys and staff checking on us throughout our meal despite being Busy on Fourth of July , people must have been craving Mexican food. I'm always craving Mexican food and I never get tired of it and Lindo never let's me down.

Lindo Michoacan a Mexican restaurant that makes you speak hispanic to your best or try your best, when you are here your world transforms into Mexico, the moment you enter the door the distinctive smell of cilantro chili corn tortillas greet your appetite and palate, if you came in hungry? you will instantly feel deprived of food and your brain will tell you you are starving! the food is authentic and delicious. while you savor the food you can't miss the ambiance and the wall full of picture frames of people and places in Mexico, don't miss their Seviche de camaron, Enjoy it with the tortilla chips and you can say life has been good.

Shauna S.

Our favorite Mexican restaurant in Vegas! They serve delicious complimentary chips, salsa, warm bean dip and soup with tomato broth and pasta. The portions are huge. Lots of fresh veggies in the rice. My husband ordered steak--the waiter had the chef grill a second steak because the first was overcooked. I loved the shredded beef taco. Their lunch specials last until 5:00 (for vegas partiers who wake up late) and are half the price of dinners. The restaurant is nicely decorated with authentic colorful pottery, glass sconces, pots, fountains, comfortable booths and solid wood tables and chairs. The servers wear traditional clothes and were all friendly. Free lollipops for dessert!

Charisse O.

One of the best places in Vegas! I'm so happy that we came here! We ordered the guacamole, and it was made table side. It was amazing. Super fresh and flavor-filled. I appreciate how we could request the spicy level. Not knowing many authentic Mexican dishes, I ordered chicken fajita. I was kind of bummed because I generally don't like fajitas, but I was wrong! This fajita was the best I ever had, and I'm so glad I got it! The chicken was so good that I could eat it by itself. The meal came with rice, refried beans, sour cream and guacamole. The tortillas are also made fresh. All perfect with my meal. Big enough to feed two small ladies like myself; in retrospect, I should have shared it. I forgot what the dessert we ordered was called, but it was basically vanilla ice cream covered in crunchy flakes, caramel, and cinnamon. It was covered in rum and then lit on fire in ordered for it to caramelize. Very strong rum flavor, so don't get it if you don't like alcohol. If I ever come back to Vegas, I definitely will come back here. Highly recommended!

Best Mexican food I have ever tasted in the U.S!! There were so many options it was so hard to choose! My family is originally from MichoacÃ¡n and if you have ever visited, it's true we do have the best antojitos around! The food and drinks were awesome! I fell in love with the decor of this place too. The only reason I did not give this place 5 stars was because our waiter was so sarcastic it wasn't even funny! We just had some questions because one of my friends is vegetarian and he was being rude. The bus boy on the other hand was more helpful at answering our questions. A little ways off the strip but well worth the drive! The carnitas were finger licking good and I usually hate the beans at restaurants but I finished all of them. Oh and you can't beat the tasty handmade tortillas. I will defiantly come back next time I'm in Vegas.

I like this spot. I liked the staff, atmosphere and food. We were in a big hurry and explained this to the waiter, and they brought our food out super quick! They staff was extremely attentive and friendly. We ordered the guacamole, which they make fresh right at your table. It was very good. Then I orders the steak fajitas. They were decent, but I've had better. They did however put grilled tomatoes in with the meat, peppers and onions, which I liked. They also have amazing fresh flour tortillas that really helped bring up the flavor in the fajita. If only I wasn't driving, I would have been able to rate the margaritas for you too. Overall, I really did like the place. I would definitely come back here again.

Not bad, but I won't come back. Service was nice, but we had to ask for half the items we ordered twice. Margarita was watered down, didn't taste like lime or Tequila, it was very watery. There was also almost no salt inn the rim. Fajitas were ok, but almost no veggies like other places. No cheese or fresh tomatoes either. The others in our party asked for their fajitas well done, and they weren't. The guacamole was excellent, refried beans and salsa was also yummy. Too bad, we were really looking forward to the food. Very disappointing over all.

I always go there for breakfast before leaving LAS VEGAS. This time (yesterday) I was a little sad- they no longer offer he brunch buffet in the mornings :( This meant limiting my taste buds to just one main item...LOL. I went with the Red Chilaquiles which were very good. The waiters (we had two men) were very attentive and my glass never went below halfway. The friendly atmosphere is very welcoming.

As close as I have ever gotten to "authentic" Mexican food. I was expecting the same ol canned beans and flavored food, but it was almost as goods as my mother home cooking! Of course no one can ever beat moms haha. Hard to empress a Mexican with restaurant style food, but this place did it indeed! Will be back

Ate here based on a friends recommendation and I'm so glad I did.I enjoyed everything I was served,from their fresh chips and salsa to the complimentary fideo soup (I'm usually not very big on soups,but it was so good I devoured it in a matter of seconds).I ordered the carnitas and it was delicious and their service was fantastic! I think I found my new favorite Mexican restaurant.I just wish it wasn't 2 1/2 hours away.

While the food was excellent, and our booth was comfortable, there were some significant problems on my first visit here. Limey Guacamole made tableside to order of spice, tomatoes, onions, and cilantro tasted very good, along with homemade tortilla chips, hot salsa, and a mild Bean Dip. Fideo Soup was different and interesting: tomato based but not noticeably so, with delicate thin and short noodles. Water refills came slowly, and had to be requested. But, far worse, food was really long in coming. We were told "the food's on the way" and "It should be here soon!" But it really wasn't. In fact, my party of four was seated at 6:30 p.m.; we ordered the main meal at 7:00 p.m.; and, other than guacamole and soup, no food arrived until 57 minutes later. A friend's shrimp dish was requested to be avocado free, but her order of a Mexican Omelet included sliced avocados, The manager did take items off the bill, but I would much rather had my order timely served. Diane enjoyed her Shrimp Quesadilla, and I really liked my #12 Combo. So, because the quality and taste of the food were so good here, I will make a return trip, and hope that the timeliness and efficiency of cooking and serving both improve.

So for the past 5 years my family and I have literally lived 5 minutes from this location, passed by it at least 5 times per week, always heard great things yet decided to go for the first time today. Needless to say that we have been missing out! Great parking setup despite the location (tight commercial area near DI and Eastern) and wonderful and authentic atmosphere inside. Traditional attire, non-obtrusive and traditional music over the speaker and a live Mariachi band that stopped through to provide an awesome performance. The service was awesome and it really felt like we had two waiters since we kept getting effective follow-up from the staff. The entire experience felt like the popular El Cholo restaurants in Los Angeles...but with better pricing, selections and food portions. Speaking of selections I was shocked to see almost 10 or more entree selections for EVERY meat group (seafood, fish chicken, beef and pork). I chose the Fajitas de Res.....BUT had to get a to-go box immediately since I got full from the unlimited chips and salsa and multiple Cadillac Margaritas lol Overall, this is our definite go-to authentic Mexican food restaurant from now on.

Heard about this place on the Food Network. I love spicy food and couldn't wait to try the "Cry today, Cry tomorrow". I was excited when we were invited to a friend's birthday party tonight. I couldn't wait to try it. (I love spicy food to the point that I make my own salsa because the store bought stuff isn't hot enough) When I ordered, the waiter told me that he was Mexican and couldn't even eat it. He told me that I shouldn't order it and try something else. (I guess he said this because I am white ?) I told him it was ok. The waiter then asks if I had tried it before. Well, there has to be a first time for everything. Let me try it ! Again, he refused. He said I should just pick something else on the menu and he will bring me a side of the sauce. No, I want it just like the menu describes it !!!! At this point everyone else at the table was looking at me because I was delaying the order for the other 16 people in our party. I finally became irritated that I was being treated like a 3yr old and he was telling me what I can and can't eat. I just ordered a Quesadilla in hopes that he would allow me to order it. He did bring a side of the sauce which I was left to dip chips in. It was indeed hot, but not as hot as advertised. It had a decent flavor. I ended up taking the Quesadilla apart to get the steak out and dipping it in the sauce. I left very disappointed that I couldn't order the meal that was on Food Network. I left very disappointed that I couldn't order the $20.99 meal that was listed on the menu. I left very disappointed that I couldn't order the single item that made them prominently display the Food Network logo on the outside of their building. I could have just gone somewhere else for a Quesadilla. DO NOT GO HERE EXPECTING TO GET THE "CRY TODAY, CRY TOMORROW", they will refuse to serve it.

I'm not good at writing very long drawn-out reviews every little smell and salt and whatever else there is to write about all I can say is this place has excellent food the chips and dips are delicious .. tableside guacamole is awesome....everything was so good ...my wife had tamales and fish tacos and not one complaint.. everything it great....its all fresh delicious the service is good it's a very good place for Mexican there many choices in Vegas this is definitely one of the best

Casey S.

I can honestly say the food was excellent! Those homemade tortillas that lady was making next to my booth smelt so good & were so fresh! The hot refried beans and homemade salsa and chips kept coming and coming! The Happy Hour 50% of margaritas were bomb & I don't like tequila and they made it with rum instead and the Strawberry One it's a must have! If you like true authentic Mexican cuisine stop here!! You won't find anything like this on The Strip especially if you are just visiting here!

I was in Vegas last Friday 8/7, my girlfreind and I hopped in a cab and asked the driver if he knew any good Mexican resturaunts in the area.. after a $25.00 cab ride we were greeted by a young hostes who was very freindly. We ordered the red chille plate. the chips came to our table, they were warm and stale! then the food, we both took 1 bite of the steak picado and could not eat anymore! I am not a complainer but when the waiter ask me how it was I told him, "it is discusting" he asked why I explained it was very chewy. his reply was "you want some ceviche or something" I said please just give me the bill. after spending $100.00 to get there take 1 bite and get back to my hotel I just had to say something. I would leave only 1 star, the second star is for the nice hostes only. I have never in my life had worse!

It hurts me to write this review but I gave Lindo another chance after our last experience and they didn't redeem themselves. I've lived here in Vegas for 40 years and have gone here as a teenager and alway ALWAYS had the best food and service. Unfortunately this no longer is the case. The service is okay and it's just a hopeful for the horrible food we had once again. The chicken was overcooked and dry again, the servers or the cooks do not listen to the slightest dish modifications. If they have this many items on the menu they should be able to meet at least somewhat decent standards to detail.. dishes are made sloppy and inconsistent. Servings have gotten smaller, prices have gotten higher. We alsom put in a to go order and it was a disaster. I hope the best for the owners, but me, my family and freinds and client's will no longer be Lindo Michoacan customers

Vince N.

Best Mexican food I have had in a very long time! Everything we ordered was great and cooked right. It was so authentic and tasted very home made. Coming from CA we have eaten at many Mexican restaurants and I can honestly say this is by far our favorite and its not even in Cali. It even beats a couple of places we tried in San Diego. If I start reviewing each and everything we ordered this review will easily turn into a novel because I have nothing but great things to say about everything and no one will read it because its too long, so i'll just say go there and try it out yourself. You wont be disappointed. The food speaks for itself!

A must try while in Vegas! Love the food and the service is great! We come to Vegas twice a year and we visit this place twice year! A nice reminder of our Lindo Michoacan! Valentin y Walter son atentos con sus clientes...me encanta este lugar! La comida es autÃ©ntica! Hasta la prÃ³xima!

The original Lindo Michoacan has been around for a long time, and they have Mexican food down. Considering the owner is from Mexico and his soon attended culinary school, this restaurant has an amazing variety of Mexicans dishes and a service that never fails. Visit this place if your looking for authentic Mexican food and enjoy The love mariachi! The mariachi is amazing and the food is the best! Mariachi is there Friday and Saturday from 7:30-9:30.

Wow. This place was great! We recently had our sons graduation dinner here. There was 15 of us and we called ahead for a reservation. They had our table ready when we got there and the ambiance was great. I ordered the don't Francisco. It was one enchilada with a piece of flank steak for around $18. It was solo good. The meat was so soft and cooked perfectly. At the end they all came around and put a huge sombrero on my son and dang to him. It was awesome. We are definitely going back here. Can't wait.

Very fun, authentic atmosphere. We dined here as our first night as Vegas residents, and are very lucky to have such a great establishment so close by. The food was awesome - the chips and salsa they serve is maybe the best I've ever had. Portion sizes are very generous as well. Great service. Really good margaritas too!!

My opinion changes for the best everytime I go into this restaurant. The very first time I ate there I ordered this "goat soup" which its main ingredients are goat and beer. It was not appetizing at all! To each their own though. The last few times I dined there I was pleasantly please with the service, the the time it took for the food to arrive and the food itself. There are only a few good Mexican restaurants in town I enjoy going to and this is one of them.

My 2nd time here and definitely not my last. This place has the best food, great prices, strolling mariachi, live music, clean, nice decor & friendly servers. Love the beans and fideo u get b4 the meal. They make fresh guacamole at your table and gave us a free round for texting their promo code! Sweet deal! Tab for 4, with 20% tip, was only $104. Love this place

3.5 We decided to have dinner here on a Sunday night with a couple of friends. To say this place was busy would be understatement of the century. Luckily, there is a huge parking lot behind the restaurant itself. The restaurant is actually a lot bigger on the inside than it appears to be from the outside. It appears that this is the spot for celebrating birthdays because once inside, it was nothing but large parties. One con with that is the annoying mariachi band birthday song every 10 minutes. The staff is friendly even among all of the chaos. It may have just been that particular night, but surrounded by a huge crowd, just sitting in the waiting area was making me feel like I was going to have an anxiety attack. We were finally seated and presented with chips along with bean and salsa dips. The chips were fresh and both of the dips were fine. I opted for the carnitas while my husband went with the steak ranchero. My carnitas were cooked well, but had it not been for the additional sauce they would have majorly lacked any flavor. My husband's steak ranchero was just that...a piece of mediocre meat smothered in melted cheese. I would say in comparison to a place like the Red Iguana in SLC, this place falls way short in therms of "best" Mexican food. The prices are decently reasonable relative to the portions, but not necessarily to the quality of the food. With that being said, I'd say it is still one of the better sit down Mexican food option in Vegas.

I normally go to the Lindo in Centennial Hills, but this one is MUCH better! Everything was filled with lots of great flavor, including the chips with salsa and bean dip! However, the meal was not AS good, but still enjoyable. The biggest downer from my perspective was the cramped environment, but that's great for them! Even with it being really busy, the staff was friendly and accommodating...one of my friends has a gluten allergy, and they were very attentive with her needs as well!

Exceptional family run restaurant with out of this world service, excellent taste and quality, good drinks, LARGE menu selection! The shrimp was really tasty and fresh, table side guacamole is a must, chips are fresh and you get warm bean dip work the chips and salsa. They have a HOR sauce that has really good flavor with a bite at the end. Pride per plate was good for the amount of food too get! A MUST try for sure!!!!

Great restaurant but you may as, well skip the shuttle service. This year like last the driver was late. So late we had to bag. I even went to the effort to call the restaurant to confirm my reservation and the shuttle well before our time. Not sure I will be going back. On a positive note the drivers are consistent. Consistently late.

From LA and was recommended to eat here by several friends. Wow! Best mexican meal ever! Need this place back home. The staff was fantastic and on their game the whole time! Juan Carlos was our host and made our dining experience incredible, what a professional! Now to the food! I dined with 5 family members and we were all blown away! We all had various dishes from basic fare to seafood and none disappointed. The tamales were the best i ever had, so moist they melted in my mouth. So many good things to say about this place! YOU MUST TRY THIS PLACE! 10 stars!

We stopped in here while on a road trip and all loved it. The service was exceptional and the food was tasty. Their bean dip that they serve with chips is AMAZING. I had their enchiladas, which I didn't care for, but everyone else loved their food. I just have to praise the staff: a hostess was by the door, opening it for everyone who came and went. It was 112 outside, and pretty warm inside as well, but the waiters were running around and working hard to make sure that everyone had everything. Like I said, the service was exceptional. The only reason I didn't give this place 5 stars is because both my step-mom and I felt sick that night, and the food from this restaurant was the only thing I ate all day. However, I was fine the next day. I definitely recommend this place.

Rocio P.

The food was ok that's why I'm giving two stars. The wait was for ever. The worse part was we couldn't get a taxi back to strip! We waited 40 mins. Outside for our ride. We called three different taxi company's and nothing. Please work on taxis!

Bernadette W.

Really very good Mexican food!! They bring you out chips, salsa and beans so you don't have to pay for chips n salsa (a bonus in my book) the food was really great, they have great ingredients and tasty sauces. This was my first time there and I was impressed! They are a tad on the expensive side for me though, most of their items ranged from 15 and up, which I was a little shocked at. They do have cheaper items if you are interested. All in all great food!

Zachary C.

I heard a lot about this place that it had great food, I came here with my family and tried it. The service was excellent but none of the food had flavor, and the salad had way to much. The soup was awesome! If you've never had real Mexican food I'd suggest this place for a quick bite not a good place to go if you want the real expeiriance.

Desiree M.

Excellent service deserves 5 stars. From opening the door for you to taking away your empty beers and plates right away. Food is deliciously amazing although I've only had the chicken chimichanga lol Found this place on Yelp while craving and searching for Vegas' best michelada to cure my hangover and get me back in the game for the night 0:-) Anyway, you won't be disappointed coming here, the complimentary chips come with bean dip and delicious salsa as well !

Perhaps my boyfriend, mom and I went on an off day but my first experience with Lindo Michoacan was awful. We were seated quickly and brought chips and salsa and bean dip. Chips were hot and fresh, dips were bland and left much to be desired. My boyfriend ordered a house margarita which tasted like bottled sweet and sour mix and cheap tequila. Very disappointing for something they're supposed to specialize in. Next came the guacamole which was good and made table side, kinda hard to screw that one up. We also ordered a dish that was supposed to be their version of shrimp ceviche. When it dropped on the table it elicited a unanimous WTF? It was a plate of butterflied raw shrimp- literally raw (lime juice had not cooked the shrimp at all like it is supposed to), sitting in some green goop. It was so fishy and nasty I didn't even touch it- it actually STANK. I feared for the fish tacos I knew were coming my way. When our entrees dropped we were similarly underwhelmed. Boyfriend ordered chilaquiles, over cooked eggs and grease just soaked everywhere. It was basically inedible. My fish tacos were bland and soggy. My mom had chicken enchiladas which were basic and lacked spice. Rice and beans were crusted to the plate. I don't know what the hell happened honestly. Once the plates were cleared the waiter tried to sell us dessert. When we politely declined he physically threw his hands up in the air in disappointment and huffed as he walked away. Like, really dude? Save that for the back of house away from the customer! I don't know if this place has just expanded too much and has lost some of the talent that used to be in the kitchen but something has gone very wrong here. We ate at Bonito Michoacan several months ago and had an awesome experience- further adding to our disappointment with their original location. Perhaps this restaurant is a tourist trap so a bunch of white people from towns where this is the Mexican food they're familiar with come here and rave about it? I don't know. I have no idea how they have four stars on yelp I will definitely never be back here.

Nate W.

It is a pretty authentic place. It's good that it is around the corner from my house. The serving staff is great, the food is good as well. The owner and the managers are always around, which is most likely why the service is soo good. My favorite is the Carnitas al la Coca Cola. It has a sweet and smokey favor to it. Will we go back? Hey, it is around the corner from my house, of course we will.

Silvia C.

Best Mexican food in Vegas!! The soup that they start you off with is so tasty I loved it! We also tried the freshly made guacamole with chips and WOW! I had to have the camarones borrachos (drunk shrimp) and they were great!! We are definitely coming back for more.

Michali M.

Wasn't impressed. Hate to say it but it doesn't have the flair Id expect from the food. The service and experience were to be expected and met expectations. Good left everything to be desired. I have more flavorful meals at Roberto's ordering an adobada burrito. Wouldn't return for the price. The mole was sweet and not at all as rich as would be expected. I make mole and its never sweet. Always solid and thick, as opposed to watery and runny.

I've decided after my first meal here that table-side guacamole making is an important life skill that everyone should have. Like learning to drive a stick shift. Or knowing how to replace an air conditioning filter. When you're two Asians and two gringos in a Mexican restaurant, you know you're doing something right when even the Latinos around you are ordering the table-side guacamole. I got the 3-taco plate and opted to get one each of carne asada, lengua, and al pastor rather than getting three of just one type of meat as the menu listed. The al pastor was so awesome - sweet and juicy, but the carne asade and lengua were both on the blander side. I'd come back though - tacos are tough to perfect, especially when everyone feels like they've found the Fountain of Tacos out of their coworker's neighbor's abuela's cousin's pickup truck in the garage and no longer see the value of paying a premium at a sit down restaurant. The menu here is extensive, and I definitely saw a lot of items that caught my eye for a next visit. On top of that, the service is genuine; you don't have to habla espanol to have the servers be at your every beck and call.

Food and drink are great! Authentic menu and ingredients with plenty of options for even picky eaters. Large portions, I always end up splitting plates. Top-shelf spirits and service. Our waiter has even helped us out to the car because he saw we had a baby! The only ding this place gets is the birthday mariachi. With a baby in tow this really should not be the place to go if you want peace and quiet. It's very close quarters and you will know if there is a birthday, or anniversary, or any other event in the house (and there usually are about two or three!).
(4)
Angie T.

Maybe It was an off day for them or I'm too picky but the food here to me was nasty. Then we have our waiter who dropped our drinks and didn't return until a manager noticed us 15 minutes later. My tamal was so soggy and saturated in salt. My enchilada tasted like it had been sitting out for some time and my beans were crusty. My mom got the tacos. Chicken and Carne Asada were okay (but also salty). My daughter got the kids beef taco. They bring us a taco filled with plain, dry tasteless steak. "Can we get cheese please? Or something to go with it?", "sure, sure" did they come back...nope. My dad got a different enchilada and liked it but he covered it in sour cream and didn't care either way. To think we were going to go to Lucille's until we decided we felt like some good Mexican smh.

Never disappoints! Been here several times and every time we leave happy. Margaritas were great. Loved the Chile relleno. Chips are perfect. Brought a friend and he bragged so much his girlfriend was jealous she didn't come with us. Will keep coming back! Might try Henderson location next time just to mix it up!

I ordered the Michoacan Cobb Salad. It came out with no bacon nor tortilla strips as described on the menu. I asked the waiter for the bacon, apparently he did not understand. He returned 10 minutes later (this is during a work lunch break) with a new salad, this time, without the chorizo and still no bacon. My coworker translated to him in Spanish that I wanted bacon. He then told me after going to the kitchen that the chefs were cooking it. Well, the bacon never came and no explanation either. When it was time for the bill I told one of the drink servers to have the price of my salad reduced by $2.25 (the cheapest cost for sides at the restaurant) because the bacon never came. He did not understand, so my coworker had to translate to this fellow too. The original server then tried to offer me a free dessert which I declined- the whole point of getting a salad was to have a healthy lunch. I asked for the manager. The server tried to give me a free dessert again, so I asked to speak to the manager myself. The manager never came but did reduce the bill by 25%, which was fine with me because I did eat some of the salad and I wasn't trying to get a free meal, but it kind of sucked because of the whole situation I didn't even eat most of it (plus, the salad was not really that good). The rating is based on the salad but the service might as well be the same.

So...I do not eat much Mexican food....but this place is excellent. A great variety of menu items above and beyond the usual boring choices you would find anyplace else. Not to mention the amazing service. I might have to start eating Mexican more often....plus I live right around the corner....don't know what took me so long to try this place.

The meal itself was very disappointing. I had the carnitas and they where not good at all, they lacked flavor and weren't very tender. The horchata was also very bland and I couldn't even finish the drink or food. Would definitely have to think twice before returning to this place.

Pre-Yelp days this used to be our go to spot after work for some margaritas. I don't make it here as much as I used to, as there are several other places in the neighborhood we choose to go now. The food and drinks here seem to be inconsistent. This goes for the other Michoacan properties here in town. I used to frequent the Flamingo/I215 one for happy hour, but the drinks are so hit or miss, we stopped going. I love the chips & salsa and bean dip here, and I used to be a huge fan of the tableside guac, but my last visit, it tasted he put an entire onion in the guac, I couldn't taste anything else. So I started adding stuff to it to doctor it up, salsa, salt, whatever I could. Didn't work. Margaritas are hit or miss. If you get a decent bartender who understands "I don't want triple sec or grand marnier" they can be pretty good, I hate artifical tasting margarita mix. Will I continue to go here? Probably, just stick the usual and don't stray from the chips & salsa & bean dip.

Suzy C.

This was my first visit to any Lindo Michoacan and I can't believe it hasn't been sooner. Authentic Mexican food is awesome, but I didn't realize they also have mariachis. Did I mention that I love mariachis? And they were not crappy ones either. But anyway I came here for dinner and drinks with some coworkers. They had mango margaritas which were tasty (and I don't even like mango) and I had a watermelon margarita which was very good. I could hardly choose what to get but settled on the Steak Ranchera (about $20) and it was delicious. They also bring you chips and salsa of course which were good but the little cup of sopa de fideo they bring before your entree was friggin amazing. I need to figure out how to make it like that cuz it was the bomb, I could just have a big bowl of that in the winter, with some tortillas.... mmmm. I ate til I was stuffed and had enough steak and rice and beans left for lunch the next day. Also my coworkers told me that they have $5 margaritas for happy hour? Regardless I need to come more often for mariachis and delicious generous food.

Had the pleasure of finding this Mexican gem in Vegas. The wife and I came for the Red Snapper fish plate and was very pleased. Delicious. We wanted to give a thumbs up to the Service! Loaisa was a field commander ensuring we all got top service/attention. Bravo! Highly recommend nice place and good food! We are from San Antonio and we had a fair share of mex restaurants to know a good one! Buen Provecho!!

Wonderful atmosphere, excellent drinks, attentive service. This was the best mexican food experience I have had in Las Vegas so far. I wrote a tip on yelp about the chicken dish we ordered, unfortuanltly I cant find that section right now, ask your server for a popular chicken dish they serve. It was so tasty and spicy I can't wait to go back and eat it again! Definitely try to get there earlier or make reservations if you can, when we were leaving there were people waiting.

Well, finally came back here yesterday. Never as good as the first time! Beans were bland, chips not tasty, tacos and enchilada were just ok, I did like that they make the guacamole right in front of you and you get to pick the ingrediants. that was fun!

Way over priced. Carne asada lacked flavor. You can always can tell how authentic the food will be by the salsa. The salsa was fresh out of the can. However the mojitos and fiedo soup where very good. Casa don Juan restaurant is way better them this place.

I recommend Lindo Michoacan if you want authentic Mexican food. I appreciate the fact the menu isn't littered with Tex Mex options. The menu includes authentic dishes from the region, and the staff are eager to recommend your next favorite dish. I have a gluten allergy, and I was still able to find some really excellent dishes. The decor is lovely, and the place doesn't have a cheesy feel. I look forward to dining here more often, especially since it has so many yummy margaritas.

Great food and staff. at a very decent price. Every staff member had a smile on their face. Live music on Tuesday night was a nice suprise. Staff gave special attention to our grandson who soaked it all in. Combine the food, price and staff and this one is hard to beat....in my top five of all time!

Good find! I went here with a big group of colleagues (around 45 people), after a sales meeting at a convention. They struggled with the large group, but I'm sure that table service is fine when it's just a couple of people or a family at a table. For folks used to Mexican food, this place has a great menu. You'll see most of the usual favorites and they start you off with chips and a fiery salsa. Most meals came with a simple Fideo soup, which was really nice. Our group had tableside guacamole, which was good, but maybe had too much tomato. The menu has a bunch of Michoacan food, which is amazing. It's divided up by beef, chicken, seafood, and pork, with traditional Mexican stuff, too. I had ranchero-style Octopus, which was in an amazing sauce. The rice and beans were awesome. I also tasted another diner's Mole Poblano, which is easily the best mole that I've ever had. I had a "Javier's" margarita, which was top-notch. A bunch of folks had margaritas or daiquiris. They must have two hundred tequilas at the bar. We finished with their great Churros. Everyone loved it!

I really don't know what happened to this place, about a year ago it really started to go down hill, I keep going here hoping it can get back to normal but it is still in decline. The beans taste like they cracked open a can. the salsas are all watered down and not tasty. The only thing they still try on is the hand made tortillas and the guacamole. Sad, this place was great.

I can't begin to tell you what a great time we had at Lindo Michoacan. The best wait staff you would ever want to serve you and Victor the manager was the greatest, he became our new best friend. The food was as great as the employees I can't say enough good things about this restaurant!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Scott K.

Fresh..made to order Guacamole! This is a must stop while im in Vegas. This location isnt in the safest neighborhood but once your there you forget about it. Ive tried a number of food dishes here and all were good. They give you so much food that Ive never made it to dessert. Whats interesting is the soup they give. I think its some kind of buck wheat noodle soup. Its good but just different.
(4)
Eddie C.

I've been here two times and both times have been great! The atmosphere is great and the service is awesome! They refill your drink as soon as you're done. They're on top of everything. I ordered carne asada and man was it good. The chips with bean dip were good. I will make this a must on any trip to Vegas :)

This place was fantastic! A friend and I were in town for a conference and tired of the strip. We checked online for the best mexican food, and found this place. From the strip, it was about a 15 minute drive, but sooooo worth it!!! Well, to start off with, they bring out yummy chips, salsa, and beans. We ordered aguas de Jamaica and it was delish! Our glasses were constantly refilled, and we felt attended to. I couldn't decide on the plethora of choices, but finally decided on the fish tacos, which were fabulous. Nice homeade corn tortillas and a generous portion of crunchy fish pieces, and thick slices of avocado.They came with a delicious sauce on the side, and also the lettuce came on the side of the plate, so it was nice to add however much I wanted of each. My buddy was also indecisive, but by suggestion of the waiter ordered the Pollo Sarandeado, and she absolutely loved the flavoring. She had previously lived in Mexico and missed the authentic food, but this food really did it for her. She also commented it was probably the best chicken she ever had! To finish off the meal, we had sopapillas. Deeeelicious!

So i have read and heard all this hype about how good this place was and i'm here to say WHY? i have had better food at chevys or even a robertos, The place was hot as hell feels like there's hardly any ac going at all. The food was decent at best and for the price range this would be one of my last pics for sure, the point is skip it one of the most overrated mexican food joints in las vegas

Randy M.

Best meal we had while in Vegas for a weekend. I lived in Vegas in the 90's and used to frequent this resturaunt for the flavors. Places usually are not as good as you remember, this is the exception. Guacamole was better than we we get at home and the Steak Ranchero had better flavor than I remembered. They cook the steaks a little on the rear side, so watch for that when ordering.

I haven't been here in 10 years. I don't know why I waited to come back. My parents were in town visiting, and I wanted to take them somewhere they hadn't been before. After thinking about where to go and looking on Yelp, I remembered Lindo Michoacan. EVERYTHING was good. I had a combo plate with a taco, a burrito, and an enchilada: Superb. Everyone else enjoyed their food as well. Rest assured I will not wait another ten years to come back. I'll come back again and again.

Mandy C.

Came back here on our return trip and was just as happy as our original visit. this time around I tried the carnitas. I enjoyed them very much, great flavor, they could have been a little more crispy, but taste-wise, excellent. love love love the warm chips and bean dip, salsa is excellent. husband got the chicken with a funky name to it....i can't remember what it is called, but it is covered in a spicy-sweet sauce that is EXCELLENT!!!! and our waiter told us the very simple ingredients, so now I'm going to try to recreate at home. lol oh, and the fideo soup? awesome awesome. love it when they have fideo on the menu, it is kind of rare to find here.

I love Lindo and Michoacan! I even love their vegetarian options as well! I have dined in this restaurant many times and my experience has always been superb! However, this review is specifically for the catering service which the manager was very attentive to our vegetarian requests. We all know that most beans are cooked with lard which is made out of meat or pork fat etc..and the rice is made out of meat or chicken broth. Nevertheless, Lindo was kind enough to cook vegetarian beans and rice in addition to our regular non vegetarian order. They also made avocado tacos which was so delicious!! Another veggie dish that they made was fajitas! All were yum yum in our tums!!

We absolutely love Lindo Michoacan and come back every chance we can. We came here years ago after seeing Rachel Ray in 2008 brag about this place on her Food Network show as one of the Best authentic Mexican Restaurants in Vegas. They have a great menu, it will take you a while to go through it, so order a drink and relax while you browse. The prices are very reasonable $10-15 for dinner and lunch specials for $8.50-$11, which you can't say about other Mexican Restaurants in the strip. It is a short drive or taxis ride from the strip on Desert Inn Road East. I can't believe a search on Trip Advisor doesn't come up with this restaurant even when searching for Mexican Cuisine. The restaurant offers a free shuttle service to the closest monorail station. Here is their website - lindomichoacan.com We've enjoyed several of their chicken dishes including El Burro Bianico (enchilada style burrito), Chicken Fajitas, and Enchiladas. We've also had a few Margaritas and beers here too. We highly recommend Lindo Michoacan Mexican Restaurant for dinner. How can you go wrong when they've been voted "The Best of Las Vegas" for the eight times!

This is the BEST location and has the greatest staff!!! The table side guac is to die for!! The food is always hot and fresh, and the staff and service is always wonderful. We love when the Mariachi Band plays it gives an even more authentic feel. Keep up the great service. The South location has a great view of the city but the service and food have something to be desired.

Cathy R.

My friend and I went for dinner because our mutual friends were raving about it. Their menu was huge and had too many selections. Once we were able to make a decision after weaving through the maze, we got some sort of noodle soup as an appetizer. The soup had no flavor. The main dishes came and both of our dishes had bland taste. Nothing distinctive, but just bleh. We were greatly disappointed.

I ordered the carne asada (medium rare) salad and a strawberry margarita. Both were delicious, and the steak was cooked perfectly. The dressing was light and the greens were not drowning in it. The restaurant was clean, employees were very friendly and nice. The only thing about this restaurant that I found odd was that it was sooo dark. You might want to bring a flashlight to read the menu. My dad ordered the chimichanga, my mom ordered one of the combinations and my boyfriend ordered the orange roughy. They used quality ingredients and everyone liked what they ordered. There's lots of parking in the back. It doesnt really matter to me whether they serve authentic Mexican food or not. The food is good, place is clean, they use quality ingredients, fast and friendly service... Definitely would go back.

In February of this year, a large group of family and myself headed to Las Vegas for my wedding! Good friends of ours had recommended this place, so we went ahead and made reservations. They picked us up in 2 shuttles from the chapel and drove us there. We were received with nothing but smiles and had an entire section just for us. The food was great! the service was the best! and they even drove us back to the hotel! I definitely recommend this place to everyone!

Diego V.

Originally, I was hesitant about going to eat here but I was so wrong. This place is amazing. The staff was extremely friendly and the food was delicious. They start you off with Chips, Salsa, and Bean Dip. All three are very good. Most of the menu items are around 20 bucks except for the Combinations page (gold mine). The Combinations are delicious and huge. We had some deep fried ice cream, and it was the best deep fried ice cream I have eaten. Their was a birthday in our party and they sang, gave us complementary churros, and a shot of tequila. Although this place was off the strip, I will definitely try to visit when I'm in town.

Okay, all you gringos. If you're used to middle of the road, chain Mexican food places, and get freaked out at the thought of anything deviating from that path, this place might be a bit too authentic for you. But, if you've been to Mexico, love the real stuff, and might even venture from the enchilada and burrito safe haven, this restaurant has your name on it. It's clean, bright and beautiful, very comfortable, very family friendly, and completely delicious. It has the requisite burritos and tacos and enchiladas, but it has so much more, for those who crave it. Great service, very friendly staff. After ten minutes on our first visit, my wife turned to me and said, "This is my favorite Mexican restaurant ever." Mine, too.

Came in on a Saturday night around 7:30 and the place was jam packed. Luckily we managed to snag a couple seats at the bar. I had the Don Francisco which was a steak served with tortillas, rice and beans and a small scoop of guacamole. It was nothing to write home about. The steak was quite tough, but most steaks at mexican places usually are. The rice and beans were standard fare. The tortillas were fresh and very tasty. Most dinner specials come with a small cup of soup which was pretty yummy. It was a tomato based broth with vermicelli. Strange but tasty. I had a regular margarita and a top shelf margarita and couldn't really tell the difference between the two. My friend had several beers and they ended up comp'ing our drinks because we both played video poker. Pretty cool! The restaurant itsself was very loud because it was so busy, but the mariachi band was entertaining. The view of the city was awesome. Overall a decent place - definitely not the best I've had, but a fun atmosphere nonetheless.

Wowwww, I thought I was spoiled with Mexican goodness living in the Bay Area. Holy crap, this place exceeded my expectations by a huge amount. Everything, and I mean everything was on point. Some of THE BEST service I had EVER seen in my life and I've done a lot of eating out. Water glass 3/4 full? Get ready for a refill within seconds? Chips almost completely killed? Refill is brought right to your table before you can get the last chip. The staff is very welcoming and friendly as well. Hostesses all greet you with bright smiles and the waiters are very polite. Food was near perfection as well, no complaints at all there. My brother's burrito was literally the size of a football!!! Only thing I have to warn people about, DO NOT plan to eat here if you plan on going out that night. You will be so incredinly full that you will be embarrased to show your 6 pack if you have one. I sure as hell know I nearly needed a food coma and went directly to my hotel room and took a 2 hour recovery nap from my lethargicness. Then I got a call at midnight from the friend who said come down to the casino and I sure as hell did. Interesting night!

I've been going to this place since I was little. It was my mother's and step father's favortie mexican restaurant and over time has become mine. Everything on the menu is great but what has been my favorite all these years is the mole poblano. Everyone is always nice and the owner has never forgotten us and always takes time to say hi. To me this is the best mexican restaurant in vegas and even though they have multiple locations nothing beats the original. However make sure you are prepared to wait because from the time it opens to the time it closes this place is busy and something that has been that busy all these years has to be good.

We visited on a Sunday and probably should have gone with the brunch buffet but as it was our first visit we ordered what we wanted. Everything looked good on the buffet table but the did not have chorizo con huevos and my brother had green chillaqueles, both dishes were good. In fact everthing looked good on the menu. I would probbly go back if I ever had the chance. So why not more stars? Mom, who had a cup of muendo did not have any posole in the bowl. We were so surprised thinking maybe this is the unique prepration advertised in the menu. As it turns out it was just bad luck because the bus boy, who was much friendlier than the waiter assured us that the meundo on the buffet table had hommonie in it. The other reason it did not get more stars was because we asked ourselves what we considered a 5 star Mexican restaurant and we agreed it was Casa Garcias in Anaheim, CA. This was based on the food alone because the atmosphere is much nicer here. In all it was a good visit but we tend to be a lot harder in our evaluation of Mexican. On a side note, it was interesting to note that the owner was named Timoteo Barajas, which is the same as mine.

Came here with a group of friends after an extremely long weekend of drunken debauchery on the Strip. It was a Sunday morning and not too busy yet. We were seated right away and offered drinks. I desperately tried to avoid more alcohol but they suckered me into ordering a mimosa. I tried to convince myself that I only ordered it 'cause you get a complimentary drink (sangria, margarita, or champagne) when you order their brunch buffet. The mimosa was fresh and yummy. The brunch buffet was $12.95 which includes the free drink and chips & salsa. The chips also came with a bean dip which was quite tasty. The menudo and posole were delicious. Rice and beans were great. Tortillas are handmade and served piping hot with your meal. The staff was friendly and attentive. They seemed as if they actually enjoyed their job. The bathrooms were clean and they smelled wonderful. I don't know what air freshener they use but it is divine. I took one star off 'cause this place is pretty far from the Strip but worth the extra effort. Additionally, I noticed that there was a sign on the front window that said that they had been voted the "Best of Vegas" award for two years. That can't be a bad thing right? I loved the fact that all the servers wore shirts that said,"Save water, Drink margaritas!" Definitely my kind of place...

Muy delicioso! This place has amazing Mexican food. It's so good that I'm writing this from my table after just finishing dinner here. There are pages and pages of specialties that you don't normally find in a typical Mexican restaurant in the US. I highly recommend the Mole Poblano, which is thinly grilled chicken breasts covered in a delicious brown mole sauce. It is hands down the best chicken mole I've ever had. It has a bit of heat but not too much. It is served with fresh, made in house flour tortillas. Most meals are served with fideo soup (noodles in a tomato broth), which my wife stated was very close to the one her Mexican grandmother used to make. The atmosphere is festive with live music and Mexican art, objects and wares as decor. A short drive from the strip, it's definitely worth the effort if you have use of a car, as we did. I found this restaurant on a USAToday.com city guide which mentioned that of the four locations in the area, this one on Desert Inn is best. Note: I originally wrote this review on Jan 3, 2010 and posted it on TripAdvisor at the time.

jason b.

Keep in mind there are 2, ok 3 different kinds of Mexican food restaurants. 1)Fast food, ie Taco Bell etc. 2)Americanized Mexican food with gobs of cheese and beef, serving dishes like fajitas and chimichangas that they've never heard of in Mexico. 3)Authentic Mexican food. Lindo falls somewhere between 2 & 3. The food tasted good and they did have a few select authentic Mex dishes on the menu (I had the goat) but mostly it's just Americanized Mex food that is available in any town across the USA.

Me and my sis ate here back in November after seeing it featured on Rachel Ray's Tasty Travels. I ordered the Mole Enchiladas w/ Chicken. They were delicious and very filling. My sis ordered a chicken tamale and shared my rice and beans. The chips are excellent and we both loved the beans they give you to dip your chips in. It was a nice touch. Will definitely be coming back.

Ehhh. I've had better mexican food at a tex-mex chain in the bay area. The chille relleno was bland, the tamales were dry and bland, and the carne asada taco i had tasted a little off. It was as if the carne asada was prepared hours before, and then put in a microwave to heat when i ordered it. The chips/salsa/beans they gave was pretty good though. A group of about 7 of us went to this place around 12p on friday and the service was less than stellar. Our waiter was kind of a moron, and he didn't seem to understand how to split checks, or write down our orders correctly. I'll stick to robertos/faustos/amigos/etc. I won't be back.

Really good food but had to wait 30 minutes to get the check after I was done eating than a further 30 before it was picked up and charged. Might have just been busy but still that was ridiculous.

This is the best Mexican food I have ever had...anywhere...ever! The chips and bean dip are good. Fajitas are amazing. Delicious home made tortillas. Table side guacamole is a must. Carnitas are yummy. They have a good Mexican Cobb salad too. I am not a big fan of their margaritas, they taste a little like cheap tequila to me but I have gone with 3 other people who love them so it must be I am used to sugary low on tequila margaritas. We are always too full for desert but I plan on trying it sometime. I will admit there are a few things there I do not like. Their salsa is too spicy for me and my boyfriend but we are wusses. I ordered chicken tacos a la carte before and they weren't any good, hardly any flavor. I ordered something when I was drunk which I thought was going to be like Pollo a La Crema but it was not and it tasted slimey and almost made me puke, but it was an authentic Mexican dish and I was a drunk white girl. It is all in what you order. Great service, very friendly, and fast. This is the only Mexican restaurant I will go to.

I have been scarfing down Lindo Michoacan's fresh tortilla chips and salsa since I was 10. My Mom, on advice of a fellow ER Doctor, dragged my Father and I one day to Lindo .. back then, it was a tiny, one room restaurant. Quaint, warm and the food was as authentic as one could get in Mexico. We were thrilled. As a family, we frequented Mexico quite often, so finding a proper Mexican restaurant off the Strip was a highlight back in the day. Flash forward to present day, where Lindo has now expanded to a 4 room, plus bar, famous and popular restaurant. My Dad has since become great friends with the owner, even traveling to Europe with Javier. The food is what is most impressive with Lindo's history. The quality has perfectly remained the same. An older Mexican woman still stands in the middle of the restaurant, hand rolling out tortillas and frying them before your eyes. The chips, pico de gallo and fresh table side guacamole is still amazing. Everything on the menu is authentic .. the recipes are from inland Mexico .. this is not your "Mexican Americano" menu, but instead, true MichoacÃ¡n fare. After traveling all throughout Mexico frequently, and living in Mexican restaurant laden San Francisco and Southern California, Lindo Michoacan is still, by far, my favorite Mexican restaurant. Now that I have moved from my hometown of Las Vegas, it is a priority that we dine at Lindo Michoacan each visit. Although I am not entering that same quaint and unknown restaurant, once I taste the food, the memory of sitting there as a 10 year old comes rushing right back.

C G.

I have nothing but great things to say about this place. It is a bit of a drive off the strip, but it is so very worth it. To start off, the bean dip and salsa were amazing and tasty. I had a craving for camarones aguachiles and ordered that as an appetizer. If you love VERY spicy chile, these will not disappoint! I ordered the tacos de carne asada which were so delicious and tried some of the Carnitas a la Coca-Cola which was also tasty. The staff was super friendly and attentive which made the experience as a whole even better. If you're looking for a delicious, authentic Mexican meal for a good price go visit Lindo Michoacan!

Lucie M.

I was born and raised in Vegas, a first-generation Mexican-American. I've been coming here or many years. They've just introduced a saturday-Sunday brunch with champagne and Margaritas( if that's your thing). Great buffet, including birria and menudo. Worth ever penny, from a Vegas native.
(4)
Patsy C.

This restaurant is alright. The customer service was good, but my issue is the food. I expected from the hype it would have fantastic food. The food is alright, its very Mexican-American. I expected it to be more authentic. They give you a very generous amount of food, but the flavor of it is muted.

Jennifer F.

My family and I enjoy Lindo at least once a month....They have the best fresh guacamole in town hands down! You have to try it! Great fun atmosphere especially for large groups call ahead for a reservation if you have a large party otherwise it may be quite a way.
(5)
Kate W.

I'm not Mexican (really? yes really) so I have no idea if my authenticity gauge is accurate, but I do know that I have never had a bad meal at Lindo. The chips & salsa are exactly what every Mexican place should serve, you can't go wrong with any of the entrees, and margaritas always leave me happy. This is definitely the place to go if you're in Vegas and craving Mexican that isn't Strip-ified.

Roberto M.

A real authentic Mexican restaurant. When I lived in Vegas this place was the spot to grub down on some good Mexican food. Nopales, tortillas a mano, queso fundido, etc etc the food is great and it taste home made. One of my favorite places I found while living in Las Vegas.
(5)
Nate M.

This place is decent. I took my order to go, so I can't comment on the restaurant itself. The food was good though. It was about as good as any other Mexican restaurant. One particular thing I liked about this place was the Pollo llora hor, llora manana. It was the spiciest dish I have ever had! I loved this dish with the rest of the meal, but I did not care for the taste of the ghost chilis. They have kind of a burnt taste. However, mixed with the beans and rice this dish is delicious. Just be sure to keep a powerful antacid near by for afterwards! That chicken is no joke!

I love me some good mexican food and this place delivered. A buddy of mine that is also a big fan and he now lives in Las Vegas highly recommended this place. I had the #17 lunch special which was a Carnitas plate with all the fixings for $10.25. The carnitas was cooked well and had great flavor. The chips and salsa where also good. If you're off the beaten path in Vegas stop on by.
(4)
Ryan W.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas. I love that they serve chips and salsa with a separate bowl of retried beans for dipping. I have never seen that before. The combo plates are delicious. I enjoyed the tacos and the enchiladas a great deal. Didn't do dessert, but everything looked good. This is not a restaurant for tourists. It is not convenient to The Strip or Downtown. This is a locals joint with a following. Go here of you are serious about Mexican food. You will love it!

Crystal C.

For a lifeling Vegas resident (ok, ok, Henderson) it sure took me a long time to get to Lindo Michoacan, and by the time I went it was all the rage. While I didn't think it was everything it was pumped up to be, it was still very good. Their chips and salsa (truly the measure of any Mexican or Tex-Mex place) are dynomite. Their entrees are big and tasty, and the margaritas are also big and tasty. Service is always quick and friendly and the atmosphere is comfortable. There's nothing truly OUTSTANDING about Lindo, but it's good food that's consistently good with service you can count on. What more can you ask for?

Mary N David L.

We are just traveling through Vegas and this is really off the main drive. From the moment we walked in the door service was excellent. The hostesses greeted us enthusiastically. The classic Margaritas were the best and worth the price. Waiters and busboys were on top of every whim we had. Very pleasant music by entertainer on keyboard. Food was excellent. Thanks for a memorable evening.

Steve Q.

Went to the Sat. Brunch. For around $14 u get all you can eat, 1 Alcoholic drink, Unlimited Drinks(including mexican drinks like Horchata, etc) Unlimited fresh handmade tortillas & Salsa/Dips. The food had plenty of choices and were AUTHENTIC homestyle cooked foods. Some of the Choices included: Scramble egg dishes like "a la Mexicana" & "with Chorizo", They had salad & Nopales. Chilaqueles (Red & Green), All kinds of Mexican Stews like "Beef Chile Rojo", "Chile Verde(Pork)", FANTASTIC Carnitas(Bone in), Chicken Mole, Camarones ala Diabla and other classic mexican Meat stews. The BIRRIA de Chivo(Goat) was my favorite dish(topped with Onion, Cilantro and lime), my running mates said the MENUDO was fantastic but i couldnt stop eating the Birria so i didnt try it. It was so good all my buddies went again on Sunday but i decided to skip brunch and just workout the hangover lol. The Brunch ends at 2pm so my buds ordered Enchiladas verde de Pollo(Chicken/Green), Carne Asada Soft tacos(with Handmade tortillas), Caldo de Res, Enchiladas Rojas de pollo(Red/Chicken) and a Chicken Quesadilla to go. Everything was between 4-5stars, The Green Enchiladas & the Caldo de Res were perfect 5 stars. I also enjoyed the fresh table-made Guacamole, the salsa & bean dip with chips and the Flour hand made tortillas are awesome!!(corn are good too). The bathrooms are great and the atmosphere is very homey. SERVICE WAS SUPERB!!! The food was 5stars but when combined with the GREAT Service guarantees i will come here atleast 2 times everytime i head to vegas!! MUST TRY!

We were going to Vegas for my parents anniversary so I'd been checking out Groupon. They had a $30 for $60 and figured why not. Best choice ever! This was by far the best mexican food we'd ever had. They bring out warm beans and a spicy salsa to start with. The salsa was a little hot for a couple of us so we asked if they had a mild. They brought out some Pico that was fantastic and a green salsa that was mild and just as fantastic! When we asked for an order of guacamole he came out with a table, bowls, and mixed it up right at the table! It was perfect! I highly suggest the carne asado tacos! Not only was the food here great so was the service. It is worth the short drive off the strip. This will be a must eat whenever we go back to Vegas. Do yourself a favor and go eat there, you wont be dissappointed.

Came here with some cousins from out of town where great Mexican food is hard to come by. The four of us shared several dishes like the Mole Pablano, Carnitas, Lengue, and some Carne Asada. All of us were satisfied and filled. Nobody wanted dessert but i ordered some churros for the heck of it and they were OK. Gotta come back to try more new items next time.

I was visiting vegas two weeks ago when my friend that lives in LV suggested that we eat here. Ilove her for suggesting this place, because I can't wait to go back to try their other goodies. We started with the guacamole and chips, and I was pleasantly surprised that they made it in front of you. Not just that, the music entertainer played a song, while our waiter made it. I thought that was a nice touch. I ordered the huevos con chorizo and two steak tacos. They were both excellent especially the steak. Everything was fresh, and the food presentation was excellent. I had the chance to try my friend's meals, and they were very good as well. They ordered the steak with green sauce and the steak with cilantro. The prices weren't that bad, and you really get what you pay for (probably $25 dollars a person). The service was excellent. It seemed like we had more than one waiter, and that was fine by me. They catered to our needs and made sure that we were satisfied. The music entertainment was quite nice as well. He was singing, playing the guitar, and keyboards. I really wish we had places like these in Chicago. Yet another reason for me to go back to Vegas.

The avocado tacos are AMAZING. The veggie fajitas are also pretty good as well. Really good, solid Mexican place that we go to every time we're in Vegas.

Really good family owned restaurant. Home made tortillas, waiters really knock themselves out to make sure your dining experience is everything it can be. I ordered a burrito- it was HUGE. I have no small appetite and was only able to eat about 1/4 of it. We ordered guacamole- really yummy. They make it up for you at the table. We had some who like spicy, some mild, he made two bowls- one of each. My husband had chiles rellenos (his yardstick by which he rates any and all Mexican restaurants) and gives them a full five stars. Knocking off a couple of stars for the following: AC was off for most of our visit. I don't care how good the food is, if you're uncomfortable the overall experience suffers. We had to relocate to another booth because we were sardined in. The next table over had ample room for the 4 of us. The soup they serve to everyone at the beginning of the meal reminds me of Lipton noodle soup. Bleh.

My wife and I have eaten here since 1990. It was a little restaurant back then but is now a small local chain. The food is still awesome and always go there to eat whenever I am back home in Vegas.

We just moved to Las Vegas and went to this restaurant based upon reviews from some of our neighbors. We LOVED IT. Our other favorite mexican restaurant is Super Mex, but this restaurant will become one of our favorites, for sure. Starting with the soup, chips, salsa and beans-what a great idea. We will be back many times in the future. Try this place and you will not be sorry.

Just visited the newer location on Centennial (Northwest Vegas). This place gets all kinds of blessings from Zagat and Best of Las Vegas, but I just don't see why. The food was ok, not outstanding, not poor, but nothing to write home about or rave over. We started with the Nopalitos (cactus) as an appy, and that was very good, in retrospect the highlight of the meal. For entrees we shared the PESCADO a la VALLARTA which was Orange Roughy, and for a chicken dish we had the GALLO al CHIPOTLE ESTILO. The fish was ok, the chicken overly tough. That was enough, quantity was just fine but we came away thinking "why is this place so popular?"

Lori B.

This will definitely be my new must have when in Vegas. It's a little ways off the strip but not crazy far and you'll be happy and satisfied that you went. Exceptional service and well put together combination plates that you can have a combination of pork, carne asada and chicken. You're full before you even begin from the chips, salsa, bean dip and soup. Lindo Michoacan, your family recipes are sacred!

I've been in Vegas for a bit over 2 months. While I haven' t made the effort to go to the strip and try the festivities, I have made the effort to order a margarita at the non strip restaurants along the west side of Vegas with no satisfaction. But I came here on a suggestion by a friend and I have to say that I have found my new margarita place. That's not to say that their drinks are their only point of recognition. There food is delicious and a fairly diverse menu. But what really impressed me, outside of the drink, was the service. All of the service staff was attentive and friendly. I wasn't stuck with my server, everyone made an effort to check up on the table. Whenever we needed something, it was addressed right away. I would highly recommend this to any locals or tourists wanting to try something outside of the strip. Come on in, order some food, and have a drink!

Kris D.

Good food, good service and the margaritas were good just as advertised!

Wow lets talk about poor service. So the reviews looked pretty positive so a friend and I went here on vDay (today) we called to put our name on the list for 8, got there at 7.30, got seated at 9.20, only because we saw the girl who first wrote down our name. It kind of got to be a game, each person would ask where they were on the list and all the girl would say is 'yah, just a few' or 'just a little bit' without even finding their names. Not a place that is used to packed crowds. Now lets talk about the veggie burrito I got which was just filled with zucchini, 3 small pieces of onion and two slivers of carrots. No, doesn't pass for anything. No beans or cheese, or anything fun like that in it. Oh well, lesson learned. You guys can keep this one for yourself. Wont be going back.

This is one of the best Mexican restaurants I have ever had the pleasure to dine in. I had the camerones sarandeados estilo and it was extraordinary. The staff in cluding Carolina was friendly and knowledgeable and when they saw me whip out my video she gave me a guided tour. It was a Friday night and they had this great Mariachi Band and they were fabulous, even stopping at my table to serenade our group with some Tijuana Brass music. I decided to have their signature dessert, fried ice cream. Instead I got this wonderful flambe ball of crushed nuts surrounding delicious vanilla ice cream swathed in caramel. I am soooo satisfied. If you get to this place you won't be disappointed, but get there early because they pack up after 7. I'm still licking my fingers. Oh! Did I mention the two moms in the taquiera? They were making fresh tortillas for everyone all evening and smiling as they did it?

Every time I visit Las Vegas I cannot come back home (California) without going Lindo MichoacÃ¡n and have dinner. I have been coming to this place for 9 years. One of the thing I like about this place is when they sit you down they bring the tortilla chips; they make their own, with salsa and refried beans to complement that try their Fresh Guacamole Dip. They prepare the dip in front of you. Another thing I like is they bring you sopa de fideo (Noodle soup); they make their own, before they bring your main entrÃ©e. No other Mexican restaurant that I been to do that. They also make flour or corn tortillas by hand. They have variety Mexican plates. The dishes have very good portion of food. They also have great desserts. When you come to this place read the history of Lindo MichoacÃ¡n on their menu. Lindo MichoacÃ¡n has interesting history. I highly recommended, check it out. You won't be disappointed.

I would have originally given this place like three stars, maybe. More on that in a moment. I usually get chili rellenos or a burrito or fajitas or something, but tonight I decided to try the pollo con rejos y crema. It was pretty good, although I would have liked more lettuce in my "salad". The chicken was pounded thin, the sauce had a lot of flavor...well not really. It was just green and watery all over my plate. I didn't get nearly as many strips of pasilla as I thought I would, but I got a heck of a lot of onion... We usually get there after six, so it's already obnoxiously noisy, crowded, hot, etc etc. Today we showed up around 5:30 and got a small break before the crowds poured in (why!?) and raised the decibel level of the place by 10000. But I could even deal with that. My glass stayed full, and our server was friendly and accommodating in spite of our picky (aka personalized) orders. It was when the check came and the debit card left my hand that the real fiasco began. Our server returned to our table, politely and quietly explaining that my card had been declined because the bank was refusing to approve the transaction. Well duh. Wait a minute. WHAT!? After 20 minutes of struggling on the phone both inside and outside (it's so LOUD) with automated lists and air headed operators, the issue was finally resolved. No, my account was fine. No, there had been no lock put on it due to unaccounted for activity. Yes, the server incorrectly punched in my expiration date. Seriously? I know five and six are right beside each other, but SERIOUSLY? I was steamed and so upset that the mediocre meal I'd just semi-enjoyed became a churning, angry mass in my stomach. Thanks Lindo for frustration induced indigestion. And I think their tortilla chips suck!

I'd came here after work on a Friday with a group of people for I guess the happy hour. This place has awesome chip and salsa and bean dip. I got the virgin strawberry daiquiri. It was good. I don't know about the other drinks though. Seem liked people enjoyed them.

GREAT food and service. Truly authentic. Their salsa is spicy so if you don't particularly care for spicy food, ask for the mild green salsa (also delicious). This is a great off-strip choice. Reasonably priced, too.

A friend of mine took me here because it was her favorite Mexican Restaurant. After meeting up with her and trying out the food, i can see why. And she's got great taste I had the Camarones a la Diabla and she had Camarones Sarandeados. Despite mine being the spicy dish it wasn't all that spicy. It was more of a flavorful heat vice a mace to the face zomg heat. The sides were nice as well, beans were top notch and flavorful as well as home made. I picked my friend's left overs and the Camarones Sarandeados are simply amazing. VERY flavorful and complex almost layered in it's taste Overall the service and food were top notch and i will definitely come back to this place to try out other things on the menu

Went here for the first time. Didn't have any expectations. I ordered the Carne asada salad and it was really good. Another dish my boyfriend got was the pollo con reja creme (excuse the spelling. I'm not too sure if I spelled it right in spanish). My boyfriend said it was the best chicken dish he has ever had. I would definitely go here again when I am in town!

Went there lastnight . Eating leftovers today ! Alot of food . Best mexican in vegas though .

Kelly R.

must haves: table side guacomole, Javiers's top shelf margarita, and the steak and lobster (if you are feeling fancy) or carne asada(every other 364 days of the year). We went for new years eve and ordered the steak and lobster...sigh. I was actually nervous ordering it from a mexican resturant but it was great. They can prepare it several different ways but we went with the waiter's favorite. Spicy and a new twist on a familar pairing made it reinvented completely. I have eaten there probably 100 times and if I can I will eat there 100 times more.

Had been here previously (3 years ago) and certainly didn't disappoint. Had friends that were getting married and looking for a place to eat for our group of 30+ people so I recommended the place. Not only did they send a shuttle to pick up the wedding party but also seated us right away and gave us all superb service. Drinks were constantly being refilled without asking and at the end of the night we were all dropped off near our hotels on the strip. Food was excellent, service was excellent and overall it was a memorable experience!

Joyce F.

doesn't get any better than this. went on a saturday night and surprisingly there wasn't a wait. we were seated right away. the chips, salsa and beans were the best ever! funny how 3 small bowls can make me happy. i ordered 2 tacos, carne asada and carnitas with a side of rice and beans. this also came with soap was so good and just like my mom makes. the service was great even when we kept eating up the chips, salsa and beans. i've been there about 3 times and look forward to it.

Cesar L.

Came into this place, into such a wonderful atmosphere and everything looked amazing! But service was extremely horrible, no flavor at all! My four friends and I never even got our soups! The chips were okay. Food tasted old and was not good at all. Never coming to this place again. Authentic food? Not even close.

I've always had a good experience at Lindo Michoacan BUT today was a different story. I was there at 2:00pm with my family. We took my mother there for an early Mother's Day dinner. We sat 15 minutes before the waiter, Carlos asked what we were drinking. We finally ordered our food. It took a long time to get our food and it was cold. I'm guessing it must've been up but our waiter didn't bring it out when he should've. There was this party of 8 with kids and they were ordering drink after drinks. The woman was laughing SO LOUD we couldn't hear anything but her!!! All we could hear was that loud laughing hyena. It was so hard to hear my family. Everybody there looked annoyed by the loud noise coming out of her mouth! To make matters worse, our waiter didn't check on us. He was busy singing happy birthday to 3 tables. It was a really bad experience. I will NEVER go back to that location again.

Oh Nevada and their lack of Mexican food. We had to travel so much to get here but it was well worth it. The reception for my grandparent's vow renewal was held in this beautiful restaurant. I really enjoyed the view of Nevada as we sat next to the huge windows and the service was A-OK. I ordered some shrimp in a sauce of green roasted chili. It was very delicious! I sampled a few other plates as well. I tried the Camarones a la Diabla and they were not spicy at all. It was a disappointment. If you want spicy shrimp these are not it. I also sampled the Ensalada Marinera (Marine Salad) and boy oh boy! I wish I wouldve gotten this instead. It was very delicious and filling! Next time I am ordering one of those bad boys. The red rice was alright, nothing compared to home-made, and the fried beans taste like canned beans. Sorry. However, those two didnt damp the mood for the rest of this wonderful restaurant. Their torillas were hand-made, their chips and salsa were divine and their fideo soup was delish! I would definitely visit this place again but I dont think I will, it's too far from the strip.

There are not enough superlatives to describe this restaurant. I cant even begin to describe how delicious my Carnitas were. Served with warm fresh tortillas I wanted to lick my plate clean. Killer chips, salsa, and bean dip Great service, incredibly cute bus boy, and reasonably priced. I will be going back on my next visit to Las Vegas.

Came here for a late weeknight dinner. Im originally from Cali so my standard for Great Mexican food is very high. The ambiance is very festive & fun. Its a loud place with music and loud conversations so expect it & enjoy! The staff is very attentive for refills but not in your face. (by the time i got half way done writing this.. That changed. Once the large group next to us left we went from attentive service to empty glasses and searching for our server) Now for the good part...THE FOOD: You get seated w chips, salsa, and bean dip (the chips were nice & warm/the salsa had just enough heat) After we ordered... Yummy Soup came!!! I order the steak quesadilla w guac : Idk if i would say the guac was the best in Vegas... It was good. The quesadilla was stuffed with steak & very yummy!!! Hubby ordered Mole poblano: Beans & rice were flavorful The perfect Mole!!!! All in All a yummy delicious experience!!! We will be back for more!

Looking for a fast and reasonably good lunch option around Desert Inn and Eastern? Lindo should make your short list. They have reasonably priced lunch specials and they are slightly overstaffed which helps to get you in and out pretty fast if you need to get on with your day. I've had my share of experiences with Lindo...look at my previous reviews, it's a love - hate thing. They've messed up my orders. They can't seem to refill the salsa and sometimes the chips. And no not everyone wants fried fish tacos. But sometimes none of that crap matters. You go in and don't have to wait forever to be seated. And you'll don't pay out the nose for what you get. Sometimes...that's all you need. Back up to 3 stars...and removed from a special list.

Tai A.

I feel like everyone goes nuts for this place. But I don't really see why. It's over-priced mediocre food that you can get at a more charming mom & pop business that's less expensive and with better quality. The Good: -fried ice cream -giant sombrero that they make you wear while they sing the happy birthday song -the shot of tequila that they slam on the table after they sing to you (better drink that sucker fast!) -the soup that you get at the beginning of each meal (which is a little bit of a stretch putting it in the 'good' category since I think it's a little too salty) The Bad: -over hyped salty food -prices

Lindo has existed in this same East Las Vegas location for decades. It's longevity is a testament to the flavor and quality of their food. The original building was damaged in a fire in the 1990's, but was rebuilt and stands to this day. The late Pat Murita dined here often. It was one of his favorite restaurants in the world. Always friendly and attentive service. Evening diners will be entertained by a professional Mariachi band. The atmosphere is festive and lively. Great for groups and families. The menu features a variety of authentic favorites from Mexico's MichoacÃ¡ region. The seafood specialties are killer. The camarones (shrimp) are always plump and flavorful. Beef, chicken and pork dishes are also excellent. Anyone who has ever eaten here will tell you that's it's some of the best Latino food you will ever have. They do a table-side guacamole flavored exactly to your liking.

We had a bachelorette party there on 11/13/14 with a party of 13. Living out of town wasn't sure how the restaurant would be. Needless to say we had excellent service, food and of course the drinks! They even gave each of us a free margarita and shots of tequila to the Bride to Be. We were also driven back to our hotels in their large van. Amazing night!!! We will definitely be back!!! Thank you so much.

Abby H.

My favorite place to eat in Vegas. Worth the 10 min taxi off the strip. Order the guacamole and skip a major entree or share. You'll leave stuffed and having had the best time. Live music happens on the regular, the service is spectacular & the food is perfect!

Teresa F.

The Original Lindo Michoacan...What can I say, the food is authentic Mexican, with wonderful service. Our table was cleared and ready for the next customer before we had even paid our bill during our most recent visit. The busser kept our ice tea glasses so full I ran out of Splenda trying to keep mine sweet. I may sound like I am complaining or being pissy but I really am not. The food here truly is good. I have never had a bad meal and the service is always spot on, but they are so focused on turning over the tables they forget that their customers might like to take longer than thirty minutes to eat dinner. The roving band of musicians can be loud and annoying but it is meant to add to the authenticity. Since I have never been to Mexico I cannot say if the locals wander around singing while people eat or not. I had Chicken Enchilada with Mole and my husband had the Coke-Cola Carnitas, I believe. Mine was good. But as usual, his was great. I love that Coke-Cola sauce. It is delicious. The table side guacamole is always a winner, but I prefer my chips to be lighter so while they do a great good I tend not to order it here. If you enjoy the free basket they start you off with, go for the guacamole. The Original is just what it says...and there is a reason it has won so many Best of Las Vegas awards. so check it out.

This expansive restaurant offers an authentic Mexican experience. It's traditionally decorated, with many tables and low-lit booths for romantic dining. Though if you're planning lots of convo with your lover, request a seat toward the back, because a mariachi band plays live music. Better yet, stop yapping and listen while kicking back with a cocktail because the band kicks ass! These are pros, folks, playing violins, trumpet, guitars--super tight, with festive songs and beautiful singing for the ballads. The service was attentive, efficient, and friendly; waitstaff never far. The food is just right for the price point. I had a steak enchilada with the house mole, dark and rich, with subtle layers of cocoa, nuts and spice ($15.95) My date had Gallo al Conac ($16.95). Don't know how it was made but he was swooning over it. The house margarita is $9 each. We paid $4 more apiece for the jumbo (make it a double!). Fried ice-cream, aka Lindo Flameado ($8.25), was the logical and delicious choice for dessert. We were celebrating my friend's birthday on a Friday night, so it was the perfect fiery and fantastic ending to our meal. He blew out the flames shortly after dessert arrived and made a wish. He didn't let the liquor burn off on its own, so a very rummy spoonful was his reward, lol!

Dawn R.

We used to go to Lindo all the time back when it was a real Mexican restaurant, now its the Denny's of Mexican. the food is so commercialized and bland, it is no longer authentic and the quality went down hill and the prices went up. I will no longer be a patron after my last visit. first we sat at the bar to wait for our table and the bartender told us we can get half off if we text some number to vote lindo the best of Las Vegas, that's cute, however we cant vote if we just sat down and haven't had a drink or food yet? how do we know if its the best. that was unpleasant. Sorry lindo your food is not good any more, nor your prices. the one star is for the attentiveness of your servers.

As usual, this place always delivers good food! Enchiladas, tamales, chips, salsa...whatever I have ever gotten has always been great. The rice is a good blend and the fideo soup that is served pre-entree is always delicious. We got desserts on our last visit, and those were SSOOO good! The churros, lava cake, and the sopapillas (sp?) were yum!

The fiedo soup is great. The side of warm refried beans with our chips and salsa was a welcome surprise. Our server was amazing with great service during the entire dinner.

Great authentic Mexican food...very fresh. They have awesome customer service. The chips they bring are warm and they bring beans and salsa for dipping! They didn't have the sauce for the shrimp I wanted so they gave us a free dessert! The entrees: my hubby got chile rellenos with shrimp...so good!!To my fellow out of towners, make the trip off the strip to come eat some authentic Mexican food...you won't be disappointed.

Great place to go for a birthday. They bring out a crew of employees as well as a musician with a guitar, and hand you a shot of tequila. The toreados with guacamole are amazing. We started off with some oysters as an appetizer and to my delight they came topped with ceviche. Good service and very friendly employees. Bar has a crazy amount of different tequilas.

Sissy M.

We went to the one on E Desert Inn Rd., let me start by saying the food is awesome and the portions are plentiful! The cheese they use in their food is so good, the enchiladas were amazing and I'm sure it was the cheese! The chips and salsa are also super good, they give a bean dip along with the salsa which is equally delish! The only things that I would complain about are the margaritas and our server. Starting with the server, he was really short with us and very unfriendly. The other staff members were so friendly though, so it wasn't such a problem as it could have been. The margaritas were terrible, they tasted like a glass of sweet and sour, literally the tequila was unnoticeable. With that said, I can handle dinner without a margarita and an unfriendly waiter as long as the food always tastes this yummy!

What the heck happened?!!! This place was one of our favorites, but recently the food is crappy. The sauce is bright red, and overly tomatoey, the guacamole had so many onions in it, it was tough to eat. Will never go back!

Solid 3.5/5 stars Second dinner of the night! hahah I just finished my first dinner, and drove over here for my second dinner. Overall, the ambiance is VERY loud on a Wednesday night. It was rather difficult to converse with my friend; there was a huge bday party next to us. We heard the staff sang happy birthday to at least 4 groups while we were there--must be the place to go for bday celebrations! Ordered: 1) Guacamole: Hand made right in front of you: 3.5/5 2) Steak Ranchero: Medium; Cooked to perfection; Actually my expectation was low since it was not from a steakhouse, but overall impressed: 3.5/5 Overall, a nice venue to get away from the typical Vegas crowd--lots of locals here.

Food was awesome the service was horrible. Literally took over 30 mins after we were done eating to get a to go box and our check! Disappointing :(

Excellent everything. The soup they serve with the chips at the start of each meal is true comfort food, and their seafood options are top-notch.

I love this place so much. I've been coming here since I was a kid. The food is amazing and the staff is friendly. Drinks are good and tortillas are bomb. Try this place out. Weekends mariachi are there

Food is excellent, environment is fun and friendly, and the service is great. Our cups were always full and numerous members of the wait and management staff stopped to make sure everything was to our liking. The chips, salsa, and bean dip were a nice touch while we waited for our food. The food came out quickly and was just as described on the menu. The only reason I didn't mark five stars is because I think the portions were a bit small for the price.

We got there after 2pm on New Year's Day and the place was packed, but we've been here before and we knew the wait would be worth it. The staff are friendly, fast and genuinely want to provide you with great service! We were seated and drink orders were taken immediately. The drinks arrived pretty fast as did the chips and salsa. Warning: if you ask for the habanero salsa, you will get burned! t is HOT and tasty if your tongue doesn't fall off first. The food arrived promptly. It was hot, delicious and there was plenty of it! Even though they were busy, they did not hurry us and allowed us to eat at our leisure. Like I mentioned earlier, we'd eaten there before because we wanted a tasty, authentic Mexican food experience. It's a few miles off the Strip but well worth the drive. A taxi will run you about $20 and the restaurant provides a shuttle service which came in handy. Good Food, Good Drinks, Good People!

I used to eat at the Chinese buffet across the street when I was younger and would see all the cars coming in and wonder, "why is that place always busy?" Now I know why. This place is great! I've eaten here about 3 times. This last visit, I came with a group of 10 at 11pm after working the UNLV game. We chose to eat here because it was open late (until 12:15), has vegetarian options, and alcohol. While waiting to order, they serve chips with salsa and beans! Our table devoured all of it! It was so good. After, we were given fideo soup before our meal. The entrees here are ginormous! I got el burrito bionoco, which is served with either chicken, pork, or beef, and rice, beans, lettuce, sour cream, pico, smothered with enchilada sauce and cheese. I ate 1/4 of it and took the rest home. For $11, it's a steal! Half of my party needed to-go boxes, so you know that's a lot of food. They also had some kind of karaoke night when we were there. I couldn't see what was going on since it was on the other side of the restaurant, but you can here a crowd of people cheering on others to sing. It's pretty funny to listen to while you eat since the restaurant sounds so lively. The other times I've come, there is a mariachi band that goes to each table and plays a song for them. This is definitely a place you want to try for good food and a great atmosphere.

This place is AWESOME! We came here for dinner and it was packed but the service was still excellent. They give you a house soup that's soo yummy! I come here every time I'm in Vegas, great Mexican food. A little pricier than most Mexican restaurants both worth it.
(5)
Veronica C.

I had dinner here with friends while visiting Las Vegas because it was recommended through word of mouth this place has the best Mexican food you will ever try from the fideo soup to the handmade tortillas to even the beans everything here is excellent not to mention the service, we felt we had three waiters waiting on us I will definitely come back here when I visit Las Vegas! They deserve nothing less than 5 stars!

Whenever I'm craving some mexicans while in Vegas, I go to Lindo. Satisfies everytime. End a nice meal here with their ice cream flambÃ©. A must-try. I do however must mention that the Henderson Lindo has a better location...

Wow!! This place is amazing!! Let me start off with their customer service is #1. I was constantly always being taken care of whether it be taking away plates, refilling the chip bowl, refill drinks, and making sure everything is okay. They also had all smiles on their faces as it was a pleasure to take care of their customers. On top of that, I came during dinner which was extremely busy. But I was seated right away and taken care of Once my order was placed, it wasn't even 10 minutes until I got my order. I was surprised with how fast I received my fresh order. Even though it was fast, the food was great!! Overall, I would definitely recommend this place for one of your local Mexican spots. The environment is festive with all the decorations, everyone is happy, and the workers are constantly helping you. There's also a live mariachi band that comes around the tables and perform. Ps. You are served with chips, salsa, and bean dip in the beginning. And pretty much all plates come with rice, beans, and soup unless you get something off the al a carte. Enjoy! You've gotta check this place out

Found a new Mexican place I wanted to try last night, pulled up to the door an hour before close, chairs were already on the tables, employees sweeping the floor by the front door. So, away we went. After a disappointing experience at one of the other Michoacan restaurants in town, we figured, why not give the original a try? We were greeted and seated immediately, had our drink order taken right away, and chips were delivered promptly. So far, so good! Checking out the menu, it wasn't sticker shock, per se - however, it was disappointing seeing how pricy the food was. If it is good though, it's worth it. Deciding on our food, we ordered and watched the playoff game while we waited. Food came out in a reasonable amount of time, the true test was about to begin. Cutting into the enchilada, it was melted cheese all over. + Tasting the enchilada, not super disappointed, but not wowed. The taco was good, a little lacking on meat, a little more lettuce and a pile of cheese. Unfortunately, when I ordered my meal with no beans, they still put beans on my tostada, so, I paid nearly $14 for an enchilada, taco and rice. Sadly, this is not much more than had I ordered a la carte. $4.25 for a cheese enchilada or $4.50 for a chicken enchilada?! If friends want to go here, we'll go again, on our own though... not sure it's worth the money.

My favorite Mexican restaurant. My family and I always go here. Everything I've had here has been delicious! The enchiladas suizas are one of my favorites, very distinct flavor. The servers are all very nice, the mariachi is great. Overall one of the best in vegas!

It was my first time here. We came in right at the beginning of the lunch rush and I'm quite impressed. We got greeted by everyone we walked by and the service was prompt. The food is amazing, unfortunately I was full from the complimentary chips, dip, and beans, to really enjoy my entrÃ©e. Oh well, I guess I don't have to worry about dinner later on. I will definitely be back!

It actually breaks my heart to write this review. Any other time I have been here I've always received excellent service and the food has been awesome....until yesterday... My boyfriend both worked half days yesterday so we decided to meet at Lindo for lunch. We sat at the bar because it was lunchtime so obviously we knew it was going to be packed. The bartender was really nice and served us right away...then it all went downhill. My boyfriend order the chicken crema y rajas, i ordered shrimp mojo de ajo. When the food came out, mine was chicken instead of shrimp so I sent it back and the bartender apologized. It was fine I had time to kill anyway. Boy oh boy... As the server put the plate down, all the juice spilled all over my dress!!!!! It was HOT!! But sh.. Happens!! When I looked at WHAT was on my plate .....it was the poorest excuse of ajo I have ever seen in my life!!!! Very watery, no garlic, it tasted like lemon water with a bit of tomato!!! I know this dish well since I order it all the time. At this point i start getting mad!!! The bartender said she was going to get the manager which we waited and waited and waited and waited but she was too busy getting chips for the five gentlemen that were seated at the bar next to us. Being a manager you might want to take care of the serious problem at the end other end of the bar first just saying.... At this point I am soaked in shrimp, tomato lemon water. My dress is ruined..and Im still hungry. My boyfriends appetite was ruined so he just boxed his up. All I got was an apology and the shrimp removed from the bill. This was THE worst dining experience I ever had. Its sad that it had to happen here. The manager should have done more on her part to rectify the situation. Not everyone in management deserves the title. And p.s.... I never got my soup either. :(

Talk about authentic, this place is the real deal! Amazing food that was fresh, authentic, flavorful and rich. Awesome atmosphere with live music on weekends and the uniforms are great and make you feell like you're in mexico! The fountain in the back is really nice! The staff was attentive, very polite and FAST! My drink was never empty and thats saying a lot because I drank like 10 glasses of iced tea. (WALTER MY WAITER DESERVES A RAISE!) The food was such a great value. LOVE THE FREE CHIPS, SALSA AND FREIOS! There is obviously a reason this place is on the best of las vegas. I give it a 10 out of 10 in basically every category. Service 10 Ambiance 10 Fun factor 10 Cleanliness 10 Value 10 Taste 10 Temperature 10 Menue options 10

I love Lindo's! The tortilla chips are freshly made and continually refilled alongside fresh salsa and refried beans. I would highly recommend the fresh guacamole, made tableside. It never disappoints. Chefs specials are all really good. I like to order the fajitas or the taquitos. If you leave room for dessert, go for the fried ice cream!

David L.

Been here a few times. Service is excellent! Consistent quality and quantity. Best mexican food experience next to home cooked. Reccomend the carnitas coca-cola, tableside guacamole app, and cadilac margaritas!

This was our first time here and it was very good food. The waiter was a little snippy because we didn't speak Spanish but over all it was good. The prices are high. I am not sure if I would come back unless they lowered the price.

Our best meal during 3.5 days in Las Vegas! Atmosphere, service and food were all fantastic when our group of 5 visited last Thursday. I could tell it was going to be a delicious dinner when the chips and salsa came out. Also, the bean dip served with the chips was wonderful. Not sure if this is a local thing, but bean dip is not typically served automatically at our Mexican restaurants. We also ordered guacamole and the shrimp ceviche, and after the appetizers I was so full I could have skipped dinner. But I didn't. I had the carnitas coca cola, which was a nice twist on a pork entree. The marinade was just slightly sweeter than I prefer, but it was very good. Entree portions are huge - my boyfriend and I wished we had split because neither of us finished our dinners. Friends ordered the goat stew, steak with green chiles and another order of the carnitas specialty and everyone loved their meals. We filled the table with food and drinks, everyone left full and the best part of all was the total for the meal was about half what we spent on other dinners in Las Vegas. We didn't know about the free shuttle to and from the Strip, so we came in a cab and then used the shuttle to go back to our hotel. What a great bonus to an already wonderful meal!

When in Vegas this is a must. Food is reasonably priced, and service is excellent. Drinks are delicious as well. I live in East Los Angeles, Boyle Heights and this place is better than half the joints in the neighborhood.

One of the best Mexican food experiences I've had in the US. Chips, salsa, beans - BOMB. Sopa de fideos - BOMB. And the menu options are ridiculous. The ultimate in tasty food. LOVE Lindo Michoacan!!

This place is great for groups with friends and/or a romantic dinner w that special someone. Your meal will always start out with their delicious freshly made chips/ salsa/ and refried beans, but pace yourself on them... Yes I know it'll be hard but you want to leave room for the real deal. I highly recommend their margaritas if it's been "that kind of day" or even if it hasn't you deserve it right? Now as far as their menu selection I will let you explore that yourself... I fell that giving away my opinion on their entrees would be the equivalent of telling you how that movie you haven't seen yet turns out... And I'm not that evil. I will tell you this you won't be disappointed, the place is highly authentic and delivers in price point. Now try it out... And write your own review.

Maya F.

I've been going here for years, and have has almost everything on the menu. Hands down my favorite Mexican place in town! I can't say just one thing is the best, I'd say get a combo plate, and go wild. The margaritas are great, and they have the best tequila selection as well. 21+ can sit at the bar surrounded by all the beautiful bottles and enjoy the live entertainment. I've never had a bad experience here in the 6+ years I've been going.

Great food and great service. My wife and I ate here last year and made sure to come back on this trip. We had dinner with our niece and her family. I ordered the Steak Ranchero and my wife ordered the nachos appetizer. My wife forgot jst how much food they give u. Even with an appetizer. She couldn't eat half of it. My Steak Ranchero was so good. Some one here knows how to do a steak. It was tender and juicy. As usual when we have eaten here in the past we were stuffed. If ur in the Las Vegas area. Get off the strip and eat here!

Randy G.

I saw all the great reviews on Yelp...was looking for some Mexican food and I was closer to the East Side of Vegas....so I thought I'd stop by give it a whirl... This place was packed at about 1:00PM on a Sunday...Families with huge tables...small tables etc.... I've got to admit they had the BEST DAMN Taquitos I've ever had in my life! Our server even gave me some Sopitos because I was asking about them. The portions are pretty big...it's not your hole in the wall Mexican place where prices are cheap though....but definitely worth giving a whirl if you are looking for some good Mexican food in the area Service was a bit slow but they were very apologetic even without us complaining....I'm not sure if soup is normally free but they gave us some soup as well. They give chips with salsa like most Mexican restaurants but also bean dip along with it.

Not my favorite. With that being said, the place is really authentic ole school Mexican. The service is very fast and efficient. We had no less than 4 different people bring drinks, food, clear plates. Impressed. Food: the server suggested the Tia Esther- I had with chicken. Thought it was going to be spicy- nope. It was ok. The beans are ok as well. I did like that a scoop of Guac came with the plate. My husband had the Colorado burrito and added onions. very tasty- the meat was chunky not ground or shredded. House margaritas were good- most house margs are made with lots of sour mix- not these. Felt they were the 'skinny' marg. tasty.

Uncle Ernie ..

This place was SOOOO crowded and its no wonder WHY. We flew into Las Vegas to celebrate a friend's 60th Birthday,, with the suggestion that we were going to the MichoacÃ¡n (up in the Hills with the view) I read the reviews and really wanted to go there for dinner,, the restaurant could not accommodate our group, so we ended up at a Pasta joint. As we had a few hours to blow before our flight home,, we decided to find the restaurant for an early dinner,, a search took us to this "Original" location,, What a GREAT find,, I love Mexican food,, and this is one of the BEST Restaurants I have discovered. Order the nachos with guacamole - the owner comes to your table and makes the guacamole right there in front of you. Great flavor and great chips. I ordered the Menudo,, wow,, just as good a HOMEMADE. a great blend of flavor and spices with no skimping on the ingredients. With the chopped onion, lime juice and fresh cilantro. Reminded me of my childhood. I also ordered a Relleno with rice,, truly FIRE ROASTED with great flavor. Tortillas are hand made with old world flavor. My wife ordered her Chile Verde dinner,, the aroma was fabulous. Even though the room was FULL,, service was swift and courteous ,, a Big family party of 21 were next to us,, staffing was enough that they were able to serve this family of Adults and young kids all at the same time. the aromas in the dinning room were most inviting... We will definitely come here on our NEXT visit to Las Vegas.

By far the best Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas hands down. We during on the menu is great. Be sure to start your meal worth fresh guacamole made right at your table. After that comes the most difficult task, picking your entree. No matter what you pick, you will enjoy it. This is as authentic as it gets. Enjoy... Highly recommended...

Always on my list when I hit Vegas, the food is really good, along with the service, Some times the live music is better than the rest but a real bonus..

I used to really like this place. Somehow my last visit here has lowered my expectations. I had the fish tacos and it really did not hit the spot. The prices have gone up and it seems as if the portions and quality has gone down. The chips and salsa are still awesome. Maybe on my next visit I can rekindle my feelings for this place.

Carol L.

This is absolutely THE best Mexican restaurant on earth! We shared between 4 friends. Carnitas, Beef Fajitas, and Bacon shrimp fajitas!Home made tortillas...soooo good! It was pure bliss with a side order of fresh guacamole they made table side!! If you go to Vegas... a must stop!! Margaritas to wash it all down! :)

Jeannette T.

A friend told me this was the best Mexican restaurant in Las Vegas so we went for lunch. If this is the best i feel sorry for Las Vegas. The tasteless chips, bean dip and hot salsa were awful. The Fideo soup was a watery mess. My combo contained a dry tasteless tamale, an ok beef taco and a watery burrito. Super Mex hands down has better Mexican food and more reasonable prices.

This place has withstood the economic challenges purely on its reputation. They have quality mexican food, great value, and consistency. This location is by far my favorite, and I try to introduce as many friends to this place as possible. They deserve the business.

I don't know if this place is related to the other Michoacan restaurants in town, but if it is, all the others have a very high act to follow. I've been to the one off of Twain on the west side, but this one is even better (and that's saying a lot!). The staff, to begin with... SUPER FRIENDLY. Our server explained everything on the menu we had questions about and did it with a smile even though it was super busy and noisy on that particular night. Other people who weren't serving our table even stopped to make sure we were okay. I ordered the chimichanga de camarones (shrimp chimi) and oh my Jesucristo -- que bueno! Flavorful, zesty, and DEFINITELY filling. It is not for the timid eater. You know who I'm talking about... "I'll have a quarter of a salad and some water -- oh no, wait, I'm full just talking about it." I'll be back to try more tasty items for sure. Y la prÃ³xima vez, Â¡margaritas definitivamente estar involucrados! (And next time, margaritas will definitely be involved!)

Emily R.

I have been to Lindo Michoacan on previous occasions and had pleasant dining experiences, but I was never really blown away by the food. On this most recent visit, I came with Groupon in hand and I have to say it made me a believer. I ordered the Chuletas de Cerdo Estilo. These pork chops were perfection. The flavors were on point and they were cooked well. Many places overcook pork chops, but these were moist and flavorful. My fella ordered the two burrito combination plate. He chose the green chile pork with beans and a red chile beef burrito. The green chile burrito was addictive. The flavors were absolutely delightful. They danced in my mouth and made me eat quite a bit more than I should have. Next time I'm ordering this dish with both two green chile burritos instead of just the one. The prices are reasonable considering what you get. I can't believe I've finally found a good Mexican restaurant in town by revisiting a place I had written off in the past! Service was friendly and beyond efficient. We never had a glass go half empty and our chips and dips were always filled to the brim.

Ali E.

Wow. Food is a 5. Service is a 5. Ambiance and atmosphere is a 5. Hands down the best Mexican food I've had. You feel like your in a old Mexican restaurant , in Mexico. Service is non stop. Someone is always tending to your needs. Wow.

I went here because I wanted Mexican eats after my haircut east of the strip. This restaurant has won the best of Las Vegas award for best Mexican restaurant in town numerous years (it's advertised proudly on their entrance). Sweet, looks like a winner. Friendly servers, large restaurant, lots of employees so you're never without. (I think there was a separate beverage guy and chips/salsa guy). They start you off with a soup of some sort. Good but rather simple. Chips were good, salsa not hot, bean dip meh. Wife had the standby chimichanga, and she was pleased. Carnitas were good. My kid's beef taco was nothing more than a shell and beef (not ground). No lettuce, cheese, nothing. My kid was okay with that though, but I thought it was strange. My other daughter's chicken burrito was just as dry and boring as well. Prices were a little steep, but it was pretty busy (no wait though), and based on the awards they got I would charge more too. It's a safe bet for Mexican sit-down (nice booths, friendly staff, even a singer), especially for non-Spanish speakers and families. If you're willing to gamble, there surely must be better hole-in-the-wall types of places around.

No bad!, still Mexican food make for American people no for people from Mexico look real Mexican food. Carne TampiqueÃ±a is not like the one we eat in Mexico. Chilaquiles taste good, but we always have to tell want pollo desebrado, not with sour cream. I love the location in Henderson they always nice and friendly. The original in DI is good to.

Went there Sunday night for Dinner with my Children. Not a native of Las Vegas, Live in LA. But I will tell you the food, the drinks, the ambiance, and the entertainment were beyond great. I have a favorite in LA and this trumped it. The home made tortillas were great. The beans were like my mother use to make. Recommended for the hispanic who misses Mexican food.

Stephanie T.

Years ago this was my absolute favorite Mexican restaurant, and not much has changed. The hostess was very sweet and helpful when I arrived. I was waiting for a friend, and she was very accommodating. Chips, salsa and been dip were brought out quickly. Salsa and bean dip are pretty good. I was mixing them together. I've had better table salsa, but I've also had much worse. I ordered the fish tacos, and they were yummy. I went with fried fish, rather than the grilled, and they were very flavorful. I really liked that the sauce was served on the side... I love extra sauce and they gave me plenty. I also ordered a beer, Tecate, with a salted glass. FYI for Tecate lovers they have both cans and bottles. The waiter was excellent to me, but a little salty to my friend (luckily I'm the one writing the review) Overall excellent food, great beer (ask for a salted rim-so good), service evens out to pretty good... Mostly because my friend didn't mind the extra salt being thrown his way. I'm so glad this Las Vegas staple is so going strong.

This is the second time i come to this restaurant while visiting Vegas. This time i had the carnitas plate. Crisp, moist and flavorfull. It came with rice, beans and chile toreados (grilled jalapeno peppers). You also have a choice of flour or corn tortillas. I got a free desert just for doing their survey. The food came out fast and the staff is very friendly, a plus. Overall, i wod definitely return.

This place opens at 9am and I am hungry, so we head out for some good Mexican food. The service is great, considering we one of a couple of tables, this early, not too many people here. I get my order in for a combination plate, I think it's called Patzcuaro, it included a chile relieno, one tamale, Green chicken enchilada and sour cream with onions. The chips and salsa are very fresh, the chips are warm, the salsa and bean dip is very spicy. And they offer a refill! We get a small cup of soup, with noodle, hot but needs a little kick, so I add some of the salsa on the table. The food comes out pipping hot and the cheese all melted the way I like it. A very good meal. The food is fresh, the service is great and they are open early.

I've been here many times throughout my pre-yelping days. True and true, the food is awesome, as always. Today , the service was pretty bad. A lot of annoying little mistakes mostly by the seemingly undertrained youngsters on the staff. I could go through the mistakes one by one, but that isn't really necessary. It is simply a matter of finding employees who not only are good at providing good service but truly desire to give good service. The saving grace. Juan Carlos came in and the service level shot through the roof. He must have been on break or something. If all the service personnel offered his level of professionalism, they'd have a world class place here.

Yum! Food is fantastic! View looking at the strip is beautiful. Guacamole is fresh and flavorful. If you're in Vegas, make the effort to find this place it's well worth the money. The only thing I didn't like was the salsa that comes with your chips. It's on the bitter side.

Was looking forward to eating here while in Vegas as it had good reviews and we love michoacan style food. This was way different. I didn't eat my food and my husband was disappointed too. I ordered carnitas a la coca cola and it was like BBQ pulled pork to me. Hubby had chile Colorado and didn't like the chile they had on it. We were bummed thought we found a gem in Vegas but turned out not to be out style

My husband & I were staying at the golden nugget down town Las Vegas & we were craving Mexican food but not sure where to go. I read the reviews & sounded great so we decided to give it a try. The staff very friendly, great food ,mango margarita really good, carnitas burrito/fajitas was so full of flavor, my husband loved it! Nothing bad to say about this place at all, to bad we didn't live closer we would definatly be back soon!!! Highly recommended

OMG!!! This place has AMAZING food. My husband and I love Mexican food and we asked around for a good place and everyone told us to go here. The customer service was AWESOME. First they bring out salsa and warm beans Delicious! Then a tomato soup....yummy not your typical soup so please don't pass it up. My husband ordered the burrito Binico. He almost hurt himself because he couldn't stop eating it. I ordered the chicken enchiladas they were so good, so many flavors exploding in your mouth. Normally enchiladas are dry but not these, they were moist and very saucy. After my husband and I were Thanksgiving stuffed they had a complimentary shuttle to take us back to our hotel. If you are ever in Vegas you must try out the Original Lindo Michoacan on Desert Inn Rd you will never see Mexican food the same way because you will always be in search of their spices.

I'm really puzzled by all the good reviews...the food was about a 2 or 3 on a scale of 1-10. Party of four, nobody was happy. Everything overcooked, really cheap ingredients (chicken, shrimp), the mole sauce was runny and watery, the soup had zero flavor! I will say that whoever is making the salsa should be promoted to head chef. That was only thing that was good. Run of the mill Margaritas, just some mix and very little cheap tequila. It's a shame because everybody was nice. Really disappointing. Cannot for the LIFE of me understand all the food channel references...will not return for sure. Was tempted to give it a 1.

Good Mexican food, my son likes this place. I like their salsa and chips. It can get pretty loud and crowded. Not a whole lot on the menu to choose from for vegetarians.

This placed was jammed packed on the weekend! A 30 min wait upon entry but it went by pretty fast. There so much going on and also a mariachi band playing the entire time to keep you entertained. -Soon as you are seated you are greeted with chips, salsa and re-fried beans. We asked for the guacamole and our server came right back and prepared it table side for u. It was some of the best i ever ate! -I had the garlic fish with re-fried beans and rice that come with the entree. You choice of flower or corn tortillas that are homemade. My wife mentioned it was our wedding anniversary, we were surprised with a solo performance from the staff and the ban. They place sombreros on our heads and had a slam a shot of tequila was a good time. Complimentary churros were brought out while they sang to us...Delish!!

As I say when I check in here... It's simply always constantly excellent. Want fresh fish on the lighter side with lots of garlic and olive oil? They got it. In the mood for a huge bone in ribeye cooked to perfect temp topped with, whatever you want? Come here before spending an arm and leg at a steakhouse. Chicken enchiladas con mole? Oooh, the Mole! Que Rico. My wife Lorena Peril is a headliner at Luxor (opportunistic plug, please buy her songs on iTunes) also mi chacita Flacita. Growing up in a heavy Hispanic household with many close by relatives complete with mariachi and quesinera. This is her go to place at least 3 times monthly. 3 weeks ago she sat in with the house musician and nailed 2 songs. The name of which I can neither pronounce or spell. Ay Gringo. Margaritas flow with perfection no matter how you like it. We do have a favorite section and table however you can't go wrong no matter where you sit. With drinks, food, and tip. It's rarely over 100$ for the 2 of us. A fantastic place for early Sunday dinner at any of their locations. Authentic Mexican cuisine at its finest.

I came here with a friend who was in town visiting. We wanted good Mexican food after we read a few reviews we opted for this place. Upon arrival the place looked packed and walking up we were almost sure we'd have at least a 45min wait, if not longer. Maybe we were lucky but as soon as we came in we had a table available to us and we didn't feel crammed with all the people around. It was comfortable, our servers were really nice and the food was quick! And not in a bad way. We ordered a beer and a margarita and they were both good. Our server brought out a frozen glass for the beer too..even better! We both agreed we'd come back and that it was a cool place.

Sweet baby lord Jesus this place is so good! EVERYTHING, is beyond amazing I've came here couple of times and ordered most of everything and trust me when I say that everything on the menu doesn't let you down. Very authentic and service is amazing! Our waiter (Gerardo) hope that's correct /: He was outstanding! And patient with us he told us what he liked and what we liked and not only that but he was being really friendly & helpful! Try to seat w/ him when you go!All of the staff is amazing and that's what keep me coming back (other than the delicious food) 5 stars for lindo! PS. Try the fried ice cream and horchata!

So looking forward to this dining experience last evening...had been recommended by several folks in person and the reviews on Yelp only pumped up my taste buds more... If this is Las Vegas Mexican food at it's best then someone needs to have their head examined....it was downright BLAH. Chips and salsa up front was nice touch but Salsa nothing special. Beans were nice free touch too but tasted like straight out of a can. We had several palate's to please. picky 15 year old, 18 year old who loves fish and anything fresh, your texmex appetite and mine who embraces any different, fresh or just darn good food. How can you mess up a plain chicken quesadilla... two bites and 15 year old was done...tasted it and couldn't agree more. Shrimp enchilada sounds good and as there was so much shrimp on the menu you figured it was a easy home run. Chewy and fishy covered in a plain sauce...18 year old didn't get through a 1/4 of it and others at the table agreed. Chicken Enchilada, come on how easy is that...apparently not to easy! Barely passable and again just plain. I had the 3 pork chops, Chuletas was the dish name, marinated overnight in a secret sauce. Don't bother, chops dried out and the sauces only secret is that it smothered the pork chops in something I would only describe as tasteless. The service here was excellent (besides 3 requests for water) and can't fault them in this regard. Almost all the people in their, both small and large parties seemed to be celebrating a birthday party and it was just way to loud. WARNING sign - they listed fish on the menu but all they had were shrimp. This leads me to believe they do not shop fresh produce, how can you not have fish tacos on the menu!!! Come on and yes this only dawned on me after. We finished our meal and probably returned the food about 75 - 80% untouched. There was an apology from the waiter but no manager to come and ask why, no credit on the bill... NOTHING. We left our tip and were out of there and likely to never return...$100 down the drain. I am rarely this bad when writing reviews but when you have options like Mundos in town and Don Juan for texmex/fresh food then I would recommend you steering clear of this over rated Mexican establishment. Sorry Lindo...

Not the best mexican food I've ever had but so far for Vegas this is the spot.. Our 1st experience was for dinner over a year ago & our 2nd experience was about a month ago for lunch. 2nd experience much better than 1st..lol. Personally I think the dinner menu is too big of portions for me & not enough items I like.. It was evening so atmosphere was very dark, also very loud & crowded.. We were in a both by a 20 top..lol. Couldn't even here ourselves talk to each other.. but that's okay.. thats what type of ambiance goes with authentic Mexican joints :) food was so so.. My husband found musclely stringy tendon type meat in his beef.. & was pretty grossed out to say the least. Buuuuuut we have recently went back for lunch.. just randomly stopped in. And it was amazing! food was fresh, service was great & lunch menu was just right for me We LOVE their hot suace they give you with chips. We love how spicy it is. FYI they charge for refills.. meals come with a drink & one refill..

What a great restaurant. The location could be better but the execution was perfect. Very nice atmosphere with very friendly and fun staff. I arrived at the restaurant Sunday morning around 11am. After a short review of the menu I decide to try there Sunday morning brunch. Which was a reasonable deal considering it came with drinks. The brunch bar itself is somewhat awkwardly setup in the bar area. However it was still a nice presentation with a wide variety of options. Being a buffet I of curse had to have a taste of every option laid before me. I was very pleased with everything. All of the food seemed to be fresh and didn't have any signs of being attended for hours before I arrived. The fresh made tortillas and margaritas are amazing. One final note about there handling a birthdays. This particular dining occasion was to celebrate a friends birthday. After our meal the entire wait staff came over with a guitar and sang a birthday tone in Spanish. They also treated the birthday boy to a shoot of tequila and some churrus with a candle in them. It was very entertaining, on the restaurant, and no one in our group put them up to it. Overall a very nice place to eat drink and be merry.

First visit, based on stellar reviews. Service was awesome, fast, friendly and efficient. Chips & salsa and complimentary soup came out quickly. We had the Camerones Ranchero (wish it was more than 7 shrimp for 20 bucks, and was a bit overcooked), and the chicken fajitas were a bit greasy. The flavors were great, and so was the Margerita. Would come here again.

Unfortunately I am a foody. So with that comes responsibilities of adventure when it comes to food. I fell in love with Lindo Michoacan about four years ago. The fajitas never get old, and they have the best dessert. LINDO FLAMEADO!

My favorite for Mexican in Las Vegas! Been to the one near the strip and on Flamingo. What I appreciate is that the recipes are truly Mexican... not American-Mexican. The menu explains each dish and the spices in detail. The hand-made tortillas really make a difference and the wait staff continually ensures your complimentary chips, salsa and bean dip are always full!. Had the Chipolte chicken and it was tender, spicy and smoky. Our son ordered the lemon chicken, something I probably would not have ordered.... that is until I tasted it! Fantastic! The guacamole they make table side can be customized to your preferences and they even put jalapenos on the side for us who like it spicier. Very accommodating. Live music in the bar at the one on Eastern, and the waiters do a mean happy birthday at both locations accompanied by guitar!!

Matt V.

All I can say is wow. Prices aren't the cheapest, but I guarantee this will be some of the best Mexican food you've had in a while. I had the Pollo Asado burrito, which was awesome! Our waiter (can't remember his name!!!) was awesome! He had a great sense of humor with us drunk folk and gave us flawless service.

Jodi M.

OMG, the beef tacos...seriously the most delicious thing ever. If you're looking for a lovely, authentic Mexican dining experience, this is the place.

Janice L.

The food was amazing! The place has a nice decor, the staff are friendly, and they have really good, authentic, Mexican food! We ordered their guacamole, which was really yummy. They make it table side for you and they provide a pretty well sized bowl of it. I ordered the asada mole enchiladas, they were delicious! I was a bit nervous about ordering mole because so many restaurants mess it up, but this was perfect. The portions are pretty large and the prices are extremely reasonable. I'll definitely want to come here again. :)

Beca C.

A MUST if you're in Vegas!! (: My extended family actually owns the restraunt but I promise I'm not biased. The food is authentic, all family recipes! It's delicious I swear. I always get the camarones a mojo de ajo, or the pollo amador(my grandpas recipe). It's all so delicious but remember this is authentic, if you want that Taco Bell shit this is NOT the place for you. Oh and don't forget about the homemade tortillas too! they're delishh.

Certainly worth the drive off the strip. The place is huge, the food has always been great and consistent. They have many dishes to choose from, you can't go wrong... They make the guacamole right at your table to your liking (love that). I've sent many coworkers there and I always get positive feedback. Apparently there are now a few of these restaurants but this is my favorite. I can't speak for the others since I haven't been to them.

Food Poisoning. I used to love this place. Perhaps their good reputation made them complacent? Perhaps there are too many items on the menu (over 100!) for them all to be made fresh? Whatever the case, I ordered my favorite, Beef Mole Enchiladas, the center was a bit cool, but I plowed through it. Also had the fried ice cream- this was pre made, not fresh, horrible, this tasted old. I awoke at 3 AM shivering with flu-like symptoms. It gets R rated for horror from there. Never again.

THE BEST MEXICAN FOOD IN TOWN. Their fideo is amazing. The chips and salsa are amazing. The mariachi is amazing. Their margaritas are amazing. And the food? AMAZING. I come here all the time and definitely recommend this place to anyone who likes great Mexican food.

So now that I am the second one to review the Cinco De Mayo Massacre I will sail away in the boat of Asshole with Matthew C. I understand Cinco De Mayo is like a national holiday for drinking and eating lard filled Mexican food but holy frijoles this place was ridiculous. As far as I know one of our fearless leaders called and made prior arrangements for seating for our group. Well, by the looks of it, they reserved the waiting area for us and forgot that we wanted to eat. My night started off crappy after standing at the bar trying to get the attention of the ladies working the bar for about 20 minutes before leaving the bar empty handed and frustrated. We then finally got seated and the waiter asked us what we wanted to drink... We ordered Margaritas in hope we would be put into a Tequila Coma and that was not the case.. It was like pounding a bottle of Margarita mix hold the tequila. Next Misti Y. was awesome enough to hook the table up with the table side guac, and I happened to be sitting with a group of other "Hot and Spicy" fans so we asked for our bowl to be HOT.... I think they took the lead of the person making the margaritas and kept out the main ingredient. Jalapeno. So by this point it was damn near Seis De Mayo and they took our order. We all put our orders in at the same time and i will say that all the food came out quickly... Well almost all the food... Matt C. was sitting to my right with nothing on the table in front of him. we all tried to get the attention of the waiters and when they finally listened to us, we said," he did not get his food" the waiter said okay let me go get it. About 10 minutes later we had to stop him again and this time he had to ask Matt what he had ordered and basically started this process all over again.. Horrible!!!! Yes, I did open the door for them to earn another star back from us in which they did, but I am glad Matthew C. did not end up with a chipped tooth or something worse. I will not be back to this location... Esto era horrible y nunca voy a estar de vuelta

Love this place as well, its got a really fancy interior and it is designed like a real cantina. The food is also exceptional there. But Bonito (reviewed earlier) seems to have more earthy and home style food. Have never had a bad meal at either place. I had the ceviche here once and it was divine! FRESH, marinated with citrus and melt in your mouth to die for delicious. The refried beans at the other Michoacan (Bonito) is better but this is still a fantastic place. Don't limit yourself in Vegas to eating only on the strip. There are a ton of really great places to eat at.
(4)
Mr M.

Wow! If you are visiting Las Vegas and want to have REAL, authentic Mexican food, then you have go here. The state of Michoacan is known for their Carnitas so I would suggest you try them. The food is amazing and the customer is outstanding. It seems like more and more restaurants are incorporating the buddy system. We had several waiters and this kept everything flowing, everyone was happy and had a great time.

Fresh tasting, authentic flavors with some of the best homemade tortillas in town. The service is great, and the price is right especially with a Groupon.

I also attended the same dinner that Matt C. and Raymond did. From my perspective, it was Cinco de Mayo and I expected the service to suck. Lindo really shocked me however, with how much they sucked. We didn't leave from our 7 PM reservation until 10:30!!! Not because we were slow, not because we were chatting.. no because service was that awful. An hour to take our order, an hour to drop the check, etc, etc. You expect bad service on Cindo de mayo, but wow they really knocked it out of the park. The first margarita from the bar was ok. Not great, ok. It tasted like it had some tequila in it, it cost $5, whatever, I was happy. We then proceeded to order margaritas at the table and like others have said - it was a glass of cheap nasty margarita mix. I consider myself an expert margarita drinker (5+ years in Houston will do that for ya!) and these were abysmal . I'd be shocked if they had more than 1/4 shot each of tequila and the mix they use is gross. A margarita with no tequila isn't worth $5, its worth $0!! Please just charge me $7 or something and actually put tequila in it. I know there was some drama in our group about the spicy guac, but from a mild girl's perspective, the tableside guac was delish! If you don't like it hot you'll probably be very happy with the guac here. I'm giving them 3 stars because the rest of the food was actually pretty good. The husband and I split the beef crispy taco and flank steak. Flank steak is actually pretty easy to screw up. Theirs was shockingly good. It actually came out medium rare. The flavoring was perfect. Portion was huge. Very damn pleased with our flank steak. Crispy taco was also bada**. Oh and lastly I'm a sucker for GOOD homemade tortillas. Their's were fabulous. Some of the better restaurant tortillas I've had in Vegas. Overall, apparently avoid Cinco de Mayo, avoid the Margaritas, and get the flank steak.

I want the bus boy Ulysses and my server oops forgot his name, to be there always. I'll pay em... This place rocks. The decor is lovely. The music is great and the initial salsa they provide is hot! Or I'm just really white. For one I didn't order Margaritas and just focused on the food. I had Chipotle Chicken and it was the best. Superb. And though they were busy the bus boy made sure I was happy. Thank YOU! A friend recommended this place to me and now I recommend it you! You will love this place.

It is rare that a man like Rex Marvin pays homage to anything...just the usual suspects...all nude circuses, bars with live sharks, and bring your own shotgun petting zoo's/butcher shops...you know...the true classics that deserve respect. I am not an animal, I know what really matters in this life. Living in many facilities across the southwest I have learned the difference...the desire...the NEED for great Mexican food in any happy persons life. Some poor souls go through their pathetic existence never realizing this need. Occasionally, these poor dumb bastards get a sudden sense something is wrong...something horribly terrible is wrong...that sudden cascade of fear...the wave of distress...they look for their keys, they call their love ones...everything seems fine...but it isn't...they have never had real authentic Mexican food! I have spent many a night in Las Vegas...hung my head there many times. Always with a ton of money or no money. Always alone or with a woman who I pay by the hour. Regardless of my luck, regardless of my company...I always fill my aching head at Lindo Michoacan. The carnitas are something that should be classified as a national treasure. The carne asada is rich, flavorful and exceedingly special. The Pollo Amador is ridiculously amazing. The Steak Ranchero is tender and well seasoned. The Guacamole is...well...it is out of this world. It is one of the few guacamoles i would actually pay for. I always think you should make it at home, but this is the one exception to the rule. There is one last thing I need to say. The meals are great, the fried rice and refried beans are amazing...but the burritos are not great. They are very good, they are worth trying once...but they are not the best in town. I would stick to the meals. Eat the food. Enjoy the hospitality. Always wear a hat at an all nude circus. Thank Rex Marvin. You love him. He would love you, but he can't love anyone.

Lexi S.

OMG. Yep, I said it. Food was outrageously delicious. Ambiance was authentic, creative vibrant and lively. They have a live mariachi band that sings current songs in English and traditional songs in Spanish. They have a lady in the dining room making the tortillas, beans and soup. It's a little bit off the strip, so the wait time was non-existent. Oh, & if THAT wasn't enough... It has held the title of Best of Las Vegas for 6 years. Just go.

Mexican Cuisine

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.

Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.

Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.
