    Toronto does not have a lot of good REAL mexican food places. Mucho Burrito is NOT A REAL MEXICAN RESTAURANT. This place is real authentic Mexican food. The food is made with real ingredients, it tastes mostly accurate. This place rivals places I have had in Kensington market, and is truly a gem in Pickering. I would recommending this place as real Mexican above the other local options of Taco Hell any day.

    We first tried this place a few years ago when we still lived out in Whitby. It doesn't look overly impressive from the outside, and even inside it's a little small but the atmosphere is warm and welcoming.

    When you sit down you'll get some of their delicious corn chips and salsa. The salsa isn't incredibly spicy, but the last time we went my boyfriend ordered a really hot meal, so our server brought over some extra hot sauce for us to mix with the salsa... perfection!

    We love going back anytime we're in Whitby visiting family and friends. We still haven't found another Mexican restaurant that compares. The salads, refried beans and every entree... fantastic! We've never had a bad experience and we'll always recommend it to others.... we just wish we still lived closer as we haven't found anything near our home in the west end that can even come close.

    How happy am I to have a good Mexican place in my town and around the corner from me. Dudes - I can bike there!

    Homemade tortilla chips and salsa - yum!
    Chorizo chimichanga - yum!
    Burritos, enchiladas, mole, etc - yum!

    Mexico Lindo is very popular and gets packed. Also, upon walking in, you almost feel like you've made a pit stop off a Mexican road.

    I do wish they had my favourite dessert - Tres Leches. Ah well!

    My kids are not too big on trying new things, but they enjoyed the food. I would most certainly go again.

    An authentic Mexican restaurant - in WHITBY!?!? It sounds crazy, but it's true. This restaurant used to be an old gas station or something that I'd pass on my way to the old record store I used to work at, but it's been turned into this apparently extremely popular restaurant, right in the middle of suburbia.

    The prices are reasonable and the service is very quick as they like to get people in and out so they can feed as many as they can on a busy night. The food is great - they offer favorites like enchiladas and tacos with healthy sides of beans and rice.

    It's very nice to find a restaurant in Whitby that isn't a chain!

    As authenic as you are going to get in Whitby!
    Good food, good prices and pretty good service.
    Even sell good mexican beer! (Not just Coronas)
    I have enjoyed every meal here and was going to give it 5 stars but they did recently have a bad write up by the Durham Health Inspector.
    So will be keeping my eye on that fact.
    But upuntil this good stuff!

    Fantastic authentic Mexican food!

    Very reasonably priced.  Home made nachos and salsa are delievered to your table as soon as you sit down.  For an appetizer, order the home made guacamole.  Highly recommend the Tabasco combo (beef burrito with spicy red sauce and chicken enchilada with green tomatillo sauce) for your main and the deep fried ice cream for dessert.

    Other locations: Ajax, Port Perry and Oshawa.

    Notice how Mexico Lindo's parking lot is always packed around 6pm?  That's cause these guys are awesome.

    My wife and I go there every few months and we love it every time.  The service is always fast and friendly, and the best thing about them is that the food is different from the same old thing we always get a the "usual" places.  When was the last time you had Mexican?

    Contrary to the other reviews, this place is not authentic Mexican in the least, but rather a sad, bastardized Canadian version.

    The only thing this place has going for it are its very tasty and fresh chips, but these are ruined by the most pathetic salsa I've ever had...literally soupy, purée tomato with virtually no other flavours present.

    For my main, I ordered a "beef" burrito, and the "beef" was saucy ground beef glob rather than the expected (and truly authentic) sliced steak.

    I would have given this place two stars because the food was at least edible if not authentic BUT it's also needlessly expensive...I've never spent so much on a bad burrito (expect perhaps in fancy Manhattan neighbourhoods).

    Definitely far from Authentic.  Not a place I would return to.

    Completely disappointed. Stuffed peppers laying in a bowl of grease.
    Margarita's tasted like it was from a mix.  Salsa? Bland and like tomato soup, and only once choice.  Usually in better Mexican restaurants they'll offer 2 or 3.  And overpriced.
