Little Mexico

My wife and I go here a lot, with another couple that loves it too. Probably the most of any local restaurant. I’ve never have a bad meal here. They have a new item called Guacamole Fresco on the menu. They bring a cart to your table and make it right in front of you. You can choose how spicy you want it, smooth or chunky etc. it’s made by hand. A new favorite for sure. If they are really busy you can expect some wait times longer than normal. I normally get either the giant burrito, steak burrito or the steak quesadilla. You can’t go wrong with those. We will continue to go there until we can’t stand it any more. The price is pretty cheap also.

Delicious food, vibrant and colorful atmosphere. Definitely a must try if you’re a vegetarian like me: they have a section on the menu for you :)

We come here often and the food is really good. I love their enchiladas and the free chips and salsa are also good. The staff is nice, the restaurant is bright and clean. It’s a good place to go, if you want a good mexican lunch or dinner and you don’t have to spend a whole lot.

Nothing great. Been here twice, never wow’ed.
Food seems fairly authentic Mexican, meaning it’s fairly bland, as true Mexican is not generally zingy. Décor is very bright & festive (almost too much).
Order messed up today… simple request, no cheese. Came with cheese on top. After picking off, got surprised with cheese inside.
Family likes the place, so we go here. But I wouldn’t put it at the top of my list.

One of the better Mexican restaurants in town… The service is good too… And I just love the interiors!!!

On a night-​time drive from Chicago back to Knoxville, we were really craving Mexican. We found this little place, a few miles off the interstate, and thank goodness we did!
I don’t recall exactly what we had, but the service was amazingly fast, the salsa was super fresh and flavorful. It lacked the traditional spiciness, but the flavor more than made up for this.
I got tacos, which were pretty spiced and spicy, but insanely good. The enchilada order was also really quite good. It had seafood, but I’m not sure what kind.
If you’re anywhere close to here, go visit it. Surprisingly amazing.

This is the best and most authentic Mexican restaurant in town! I love the arroz con pollo as well as the white queso! The margaritas are amazing!
The servers are top notch! They aren’t much for small talk, but keep you drinks full and chips flowing!
The atmosphere is also inviting and amazing! I love this place!

If you want to feel like shit and literally shit out a clear mucus-​y swill for the next two days after ingesting the food. Then eat here!.. I will give it one star because it didn’t taste that bad. Everyone knows they love food poisoning!!!

Great food, atmosphere and service. One of my favorite restaurants. Very bright and impressive décor. Portion size is very good but salsa can be a little inconsistent, im guessing it has to do with whomever is making it that day, however, it has never been bad. We have driven from Kokomo just to have dinner here many times. I’ve tried several different dishes but recommend the Pollo Azteca or fajitas. Unfortunately, if u like Bloody Mary’s you will not be impressed.

Great food, great service. What more do you need in a restaurant?
The cons are the décor is a bit of an eye sore and you may go at a time when the restaurant is full of little kids running around, screaming their head off. If you can get past that, you’ll do alright.
Would recommend this place to anybody in the Lafayette area needing their Mexican fix.

I’m a bit of a snob when it comes to Mexican. I tend to like hole-​in-​the wall places, the places that have an actual Mexican clientele. This is not that. Cheesy try-​too-​hard décor with enough brightly-​colored carved wood to require sunglasses inside. The food was decent, I guess, my two go-to’s for determining a Mexican place I’ll go back to were not up to par: Horchata — I love it, they don’t have it, and al pastor, which they had and tasted ok but wasn’t really al pastor. Was not seasoned in anyway that I would recognize as al pastor.
Service was fine, prices were ok. Just not up to my standards on the food, but like I said I’m picky. If you’re looking for «safe» American-​Mexican, it’s just fine.

good food, clean, nice staff. never had a long wait for food after ording

Lindo Mexico (as it has been known as since 2013) is one of the best restaurants that I have ever been to. This is Mexican food done right, and it has a wonderful, colorful décor. The service is excellent, and the food is top quality. The portions are quite generous, so much so that I almost always exclaim, «I can’t believe I ate the whole thing!»
This is the first place that I would recommend to someone new in town. I think that says it all.

I am not a huge Mexican food fan so my review may be a little biased. It is however inexpensive and the portions are good for what you pay. The design and décor of the restaurant is so amazing and colorful. Everything is hand painted including the benches.

Slightly questionable from outside, your fears will quickly disappear as you walk through the doors of «Lindo Mexico.» The bright yellow paint and the beautiful paintings catch your eye as the sound of running water turns your head to see the stunning fountain situated in the center of the restaurant. The décor reminds me of a Colonial Mexican courtyard, with great smells everywhere!
Lindo Mexicao (used to me Little Mexico) is the best Mexican Restaurant in the Greater Lafayette Area. I urge locals to try it out and Purdue students to hop in the car or catch a bus to experience this traditional mexican food.
The service is top notch, and food is superior to any other mexican options within 50 miles!
I prefer chicken dishes, and my wife and I both usually order the arroz con pollo. The taco salads are great as are the fajitas.
Purdue students get a discount, so make the trip, Boilermakers!

We believe this is the best Mexican in the city. We have consistently good service. Great food and tasty drinks. They run specials for lunch and daily specials as well as issuing coupons on-​line and in the paper. They also have a lunch-​time punch card. Some of our favs: cheese dip. (It is that really creamy Mexican cheese, NOT like «queso dip» elsewhere); Arroz con Pollo, Pollo Yucatan (both come in lunch & dinner portions). Dinner: there is a meal that comes in half a pineapple, if you like seafood, and the fajitas are great, lunch or dinner.

This is always the place my friends and I go to when it is someone’s birthday! It is super festive inside, and the food and drinks are perfect! The staff is so friendly, and always remembers me when I go in!
Pros:
— Yummy food
— Inexpensive
— If you are over 21, get a margarita… and not a glass, a pitcher. SO GOOD!
— Make birthday’s awesome!
Cons:
— You have to pay up front

If I die and go to heaven, I want it to be just like Little Mexico II or «LM Dos» as I call it affectionately.
The service here is great, décor is awesome for a mexican place and the food is wonderful. I have NEVER gone here with anyone who didn’t like/​love the food. Their chicken tacos are awesome, taco salads are great and people rave about their burritos! Their qhite cheese queso dip is also great. This place has the best chips and salsa in town, hands down.
Seriously, if you haven’t been here, you’re missing out. I would be 50 pounds heavier if I lived in Lafayette because I’d be here ALL. THE. TIME.

Decided to try it again. Got the spinach enchilada which was advertised as lighter fare. The plate was swimming in grease, and the spinach tasted frozen. Also whoever made the salsa was heavy handed with the salt.
I’m giving it an extra star because of the fun décor and nice staff. The food blows.

We’ve been going here since it was in the location on earl ave. The owner and staff know us. They are always so nice to us. The food is fast and decent mexican food. The Chile Rellenos are the bomb. So good. I love the enchiladas and rice. the salsa is tasty and the chips are always fast on refills.
