Went to this restaurant with a party of four. We ordered about $100 worth of food and drinks. After we placed our order my daughter asked for another cup of salsa for her fajitas. This is the small cup they put on the table with the chips. We were told that we would be charged an additional $3.50 for the small cup of salsa. Seriously? We asked for the manager, mainly because we couldn't believe it. Obviously it wasn't the $3.50 but the fact they would actually do that and be so inflexible in light of such a large order. But yes they would, absolutely no exceptions. My feeling is that in NYC where there is a Mexican restaurant on just about every block , unless the food is exceptional (which this certainly wasn't) why would you go to one that clearly does not care about making customers happy. Additionally I would pick one next time that has an A rating from the Health deaprtment rather than this one that has a B which indicates some sanitary issue, along with their poor customer service.

Called for a pick up. They told me 20 minutes. When I arrived my order had never been put in. Adorable.

best mexican in ny, best value, and best service, warm and inviting atmosphere. cant say enough about the place. guacamole is unbelievable

Mexico Lindo has gone down in flames. This place was originally built on a foundation of high quality Mexican fare with an hint of fine dining. A solid reputation rightly earned during the course of roughly 3 decades. However the new management seems sadly to have lost focus on the food. Living less than one block away ordering is a fast option. Started with Guacamole and Snapper Ceviche. 10$ Red Snapper Tropical Ceviche was a good portion, perfectly seasoned and tender. Thats where the good news ends. 10$ Guac tasted worse than store-bought with odd bitterness and zero herbal seasoning or lime/lemon juice... Shameful. 17$ Shrimp Enchiladas in Tomatillo-Jalapeno salsa tasted strictly of unseasoned shrimp and corn tortilla. No bold tart Tomatillo, or fruity spiced Jalapeno flavors at all. No cheese anywhere, no sour cream or onion or cilantro garnish. 24$ Whole fried Snapper with Garlic sauce. They fried an unseasoned fish crisp then covered it in sauce so the crust gets soggy!? So, swimming in a great sauce? No, just a kiddy pool of warm OIL with a subtle hint of garlic somewhere in the last row... 17$ Shrimp Crepes were decent but flavors were unbalanced an lacked depth, like a dangerously shoddy chicken Korma sauce. Faint drizzle of crema to garnish... Forgettable. 7$ Dessert of flan was proper; rich caramel cream. The Ceviche was nothing short of care and beauty. Or was it luck? The 3 entrees were house and ranged from mediocre to insulting. When what I long considered a solid Mexican standby cannot execute a stellar Guac (and charges a premium) there's a problem adentro. All "Specials" were served with onlyrice... So beans are out of style or something? How special... Nobody seems to be checking quality control here or maybe they just don't care anymore. There probably are other hidden gems throughout the menu like the Ceviche but a GREAT menu is CONSISTENT, not a culinary game of Russian Roulette where hope and careful selection dominates over effort and attention to detail.

Was there last night and again found the food and service very good. Get there once every few months and very rarely am disappointed. I know that I will be back.

We order deliver and go often. I think the food is pretty good but have seen a decline in the last 6 or 7 months. Anyway, I ordered for deliver 1hr 20 mins ago. I asked how long the delivery would take and was told 20-25 minutes (which seemed unrealistic, but this is rediculous). I've called but really go no satisfaction. They have lost a weekly customer.

My boyfriend and I just went to this amazing 2nd avenue jem for the first time... and it was AMAZING! The fish tacos and guacamole (which was freshly prepared, no doubt) were a fantastic match for my perfectly cooked Mariscada (a seafood stew), overflowing with lobster tails, shrimp, clams and mussels (i chose the red sauce but the other choices are bound to be delicious as well). They topped it off with an amazingly comfortable atmosphere, SUPER friendly service, and a scoop of coconut fried ice cream... We will definitely be back!!
