Review from Shari M.
Toronto, ON
Why am I reminded of the bank commercial where the guy yells: "Chexican!!"
Anyhoo - I digress...
I was so stoked about this place. Two reasons:
1. I was chatting with a Mexican guy on Saturday, and asked him what his fav Mexican place was in the city, and he said Mexico Lindo
2. I am a fan of the restaurant Mexico Lindo in Whitby. I didn't know that they were connected....but oh Chexican yes....they are!!!!
So when I found out that this place was recommended by a Mexican, I texted up my gal Avitania B and we (along with my buddy, and her hubby Chad M) headed to Mexico Lindo on Saturday night for dinner.
Lets just say I ate until I almost burst. Like the Mexico Lindo in Whitby (owned by the brother of Bayview's Mexico Lindo), the decor leaves a bit to be desired, but the food - ANYTHING on the menu - is aammaazziinngg. I am a little scared at how close I live to this joint (and how much I love Bayview Ave), I will probably become a live in regular.
I love how all entrées come on steaming hot plates. The refried beans from this joint are ssssoooooooo good. I could swim/bathe/run in these brown beauties. The guac is smooth and has a bit of a kick. The chips served with their homemade salsa and guac are little trianges of deepfried salted goodness.
Make sure when you go that you get a margarita. Or, do as we did, get a pitcher!!Listed in: Mid Town, The hell you say! My ROTD's

Review from Amber T.

Pros:
The chicken enchiladas with green tomatillo sauce were amazing! Two small tortillas (corn, i think) with a delicious sauce, cheese and sour cream. It was very filling with all the meat inside. The side of beans and rice that came with my enchiladas were nice, too and for $10.95, the price is fair. I'm picky with enchiladas and these are the best I've had in Toronto since Mexitaco changed their recipe and started blasting loud Latin rap videos.
The complimentary chips are served hot, fresh and paper thin. They come with a tasty red sauce (although I would have preferred a pico de gallo).
The sangria was deeeelicious and would be great to enjoy on their small, shaded patio on a hot summer day. The server was really nice, too.
Cons:
DON"T ORDER THE GUACAMOLE! It was terrible. And I love guacamole. My friend and I agreed it seemed they added mayo to it. It just didn't taste right and it cost $8, which is a lot of money since it seemed they maybe used half an avocado. Once again, no pico de gallo on top. Not very traditional from what I've had in Mexico, anyway. We were too polite to send it back.
Also, I didn't care for the salad dressing and it's very dark inside the restaurant.
I think I would go back because it's so close to home, but I'm still searching for a really amazing Mexican place in Toronto.
