Good tex mex. I generally prefer authentic taquerias - this is not that, but I was happily surprised here. The rice and beans were simple but delicious, as was the cheese enchilada. Taco was pretty solid too. Overall, half Americanized tex-mex, but done well, especially for rural Iowa.

When I saw the other reviews for this place, I assumed I was in for a treat. Having (at the time) the best ratings for mexican food in Burlington, I had hoped that my stay here at Lindo would be wonderful. Unfortunately my experience was the exact opposite. For starters, the chips were incredibly hard. Despite this, I just assumed that was their style and I would move onto my dinner and it would still be great. I ordered the carne asada, something I'm all too familiar with. I love everything about carne asada; how tender it is, how tasty it is, and overall I love experiencing the different ways people choose to prepare it. After eating all of the hard chips, we weren't asked for a refill on them, and after that we didn't see much of the waitresses. (Although they did fill my water) After getting my food, I looked down on the grossest piece of meat I think I have ever seen. The (excuse for) carne asada was black; Completely dry; and smelled horrible. I can't even describe how unlike carne asada this was. It looked more like fried pork. The meat was completely and absolutely dried, and was flaking. It was near impossible to cut, even with a knife, and if you scraped the knife over it, it could be loudly heard. It was covered in long, stringy fat, and the parts of meat that weren't fat were almost indistinguishable from the fat. Despite being completely let down on this, I decided to just suck it up and write this place off as a bad experience. I used the beans, lettuce, and rice, along with the tortillas to just make a few burritos and figured I could at least spare the dish. After my second tortilla I scooped the remaining rice and beans up to prepare my third one. It was at this time that I saw a gnarled black hair on my fork (I have brown hair and was wayyyyy far away from my dish, as I was leaning back) It was at this moment that I decided I was no longer just "sucking it up". I was going to write a review. I was (and still am) amazed at the reviews for this place. The only thing this leads me to believe is most of this was written by friends and family. Below are the two photos I snapped. This was using flash lighting, and no filters are added. As you can see from the carne asada, its completely black. I apologize for the bad carne asada picture, it was the second one I took and I felt uncomfortable flashing a camera inside the restaurant. i.imgur.com/5lo3FYo.jpg i.imgur.com/iFC7maL.jpg

Do I rate this restaurant on a relative scale to what it is, or an absolute scale for what I like best? Unfortunately, I haven't been able to eat at other restaurants in the area to know if I'd rate this higher due to lack of better options. The good: * Owned and operated by Mexican natives * Mexican cokes and Jaras for sale * Fresh salsa with cilantro and homemade tortilla chips * Service was prompt and efficient. The just ok: * Typical Mexican cafe food: enchiladas plate served with iceberg lettuce, beans, Spanish rice * Sauces on main dishes were runny I was happy to support a family run business and something other than hamburgers and bar food in Burlington. Maybe if I tried other places in Burlington, this would be the best there is, but compared to all restaurants I've ever been to, Mexico Lindo was just ok.

Finding authentic good mexican food in Southeast Iowa is not easy, despite having a proud latino heritage dating back to the time of the Santa Fe Railroad. Lindo, is by far, the best I have found in the area. One of the main problems with most mexican restaurants in Southeast Iowa is that they have tailored their food to be so bland and uninteresting, bringing to mind hospital food. Lindo is quit different. While the default preparation still errors towards the bland side compared to what you would expect of authentic Mexican, it is worth a visit here because they do at least season the food with enough spice to be flavorful. You may want to ask for hot sauce so you can add to your tastses. I love their tacos - these are traditionally prepared with served with freshly fried tortilla - much better than those fake crunchy taco bell shells. The steak tacos are my favorites. I also loved their steak enciladas. Their chicken quesadilla was excellent too. The best restaurants are often tucked away in non-discript places - this is certainly one of them. Located in downtown Burlington on Jefferson St. Very convenient to get to. Do yourself a favor and check them out. If you like real mexican food, you'll love this place - just be sure to ask for the hot sauce otherwise prepare to have a very very miild, but flavorful, experience. CASH ONLY - no Credit or Debit cards accepted.
