As far as "inexpensive Mexican" food goes, this is absolutely head and shoulders above all the other similar places. The food is just way better. Unless you go to a high end Mexican place (and there aren't many of them), you will not find food this good or even comparable. We eat at several Mexican joints around Birmingham and they are cheap, fast, and reasonably good. But Lindo is in another league for food quality. As far as higher-end Mexican goes, there is Little Donkey, if you call them Mexican. I call them more like Tex Mex / barbecue fusion or something like that. They are fantastic and well worth a visit. But for straight ahead Mexican, Lindo is tops. They cost a little bit more. You won't find the $6 lunch plate like at some places, but there's a reason for that. The food is too good for that price point and the extra couple bucks is well worth it.
Our default stop for Mexican food. Delicious, quick and the staff feels like family. Get here early because the parking lot fills up quick!
Went for happy hour recently and had a real good time! I highly recommend this place! Only complaint is that the $3 Margaritas had as much alcohol as you would expect. (So I shouldn't complain).
The food was pretty good. The service was great and the prices were too. The chorizo/chicken dish I got was delicious. I heard good things about their steak and mushroom quesadillas as well.

C+ rating for the First Visit. We’ve been meaning to check out Mexico Lindo for years now and although we pass it while driving down Highway 280 weekly, we always seem to forget about it. My brilliant husband reminded me of it while we were shopping this past Saturday afternoon and we agreed that we had to check it out. I’m not sure why I thought it would be the average strip mall ambience, but I was pleasantly surprised when we walked in. It was warmly decorated and sectioned off into 3 different dining sections, which made the space feel warm and cozy. We were seated in the bar area along the wall, which I thought would be loud and drafty. Nope – I never even noticed that we were sitting next to the bar. We received very friendly, prompt service and the gentleman that served us was very helpful with the menu – explaining each dish that was in question. I chose the Quesadilla Sincronisada with Shrimp that was served with rice and beans. It was really good – I would definitely get it again. My hubs chose the Pollo a la Charra, served with rice, beans and chorizo. The chicken was super tender and flavorful. Overall, we really liked Mexico Lindo and will return when the craving hits us. I would give Mexico Lindo a C+ for our first visit.
Great place to eat / watch a game.. Love the Tinga! Good stuff. Nice atmosphere as well. Sometimes the service is a little slow, but that's the only negative I can think of. Nice bar area, for hanging with friends, having drinks and watching sports.
Great food. I got a chicken quesadilla. Not your typical quesadilla they also added onions and tomatoes. So good! And the service was good and the food came out quick. Will be back for sure

Distinguished Gallery of Art. Listen up, friends & foes. My dear friend & I visited Mexico Lindo on a rainy afternoon. We were delighted to have been seated beneath a phenomenal and enjoyable portrait of a Mexican gentleman with his proud and kaleidoscopic foul. First of all, the food was peachy. I did very much so enjoy my burrito, taco, and enchilada. It was doused with cheese & a weird sauce, just the way i like mother made it (yummy yummy). However, I was a bit perturbed by the flaming hot plates. What does it mean? My friend burnt her wee pinky finger on her plate and almost cried :'(. Another thing, let's keep it real here, lads, the waiters are kinda creepy. They keep their on you and your bum. My favorite part about the glorious restaurant would have to be the outdoor seating area, for its fairy-like charm, or the artwork that graces the walls of Mexico Lindo. For example, the portrait of Frido Kahlo and the various, black monkeys was especially important and meaningful. It was a close rendition of her 1943 painting titled, "Self Portrait with Monkeys, Bird of Paradise Flower." What grandiose, what mystery. What Mexican flavor.
The food is great. My favorite Mexican food in bham. However..the service is horrible! I come in once a week and the service is just bad. Hard to get re fills, more chips, etc. hope the owner sees this.
Great food. Good service.

Great food and a good atmosphere all around. The pricing was perfect and was more relaxed than alot of other restaurants. If you need a Hispanic food fix, they got you covered!
Randomly stumbled in after a long flight when the hotel restaurant was closed. So glad I did. Will definitely be coming back. Music was bangin, salsa was spicy, best flautas I’ve ever eaten.
I've been to several amazing Mexican restaurants, and was just passing Birmingham after coming back from a vacation. I googled Authentic Mexican food near me and Mex Lindo popped up! The food was DELICIOUS, the service was AMAZING, and the prices were great as well. Definitely will be back next time we pass through the area.
Fist time sitting down inside but I get takeout all the time. Food was delicious, I got the chicken chimichanga and my friend got the burrito supreme, she said it was great and mine was delicious! 😋 Fast service and polite staff. Will definitely be back soon
Came here for lunch as we do on occasion. Obviously, they had staffing issues that day because the poor waiter was running all over. We had a longer wait than usual. Food was still good and orders were correct. Always good, service usually fast.
Some of the best Mexican food in the Birmingham metro area. The chips are good, too, and the prices are reasonable, especially considering it's in Mountainbrook, where it's a local favorite.
They have outdoor seating when the weather is nice, too.
My wife lives the tortilla soup, which is a hearty portion.
My favorite Mexican restaurant in town. They have truly great food, great service, and great drinks. The only downside is its size and the limited parking. Sort of gives it an exclusive feel which probably increases demand.
