I feel there's a new Mexican spot popping up like in every NYC corner. Mexico Lindo in the Kips Bay area though, has been long-running...for 47 years! Lindo is more about comfort food. And by the way- it's far, far away from the whole farm-to-table flow, diet fads or the latest trends we all know. And if Tacos are what you're looking for- this isn't it. Instead, it's more entrees than anything else: stewed Fish, Shrimp dishes, meats, etc.
Lindo's style is cozy, almost villa-style with brick walls showing through. Decent-sized dining space, small bar area at the far end and a cozier seating area with 26th St's side view. Aside from a few folks dining in the main area, we practically had the area to ourselves by the window side. Service was friendly from the guys on the floor and our server Ely. And let me not forget... Old school Salsa with Frankie Ruiz, Jerry Rivera and so many others- played throughout the night.
Since I'm detoxing majorly, Tamarindo Juice was it- and boy....that sh*t was amazing! While hubs had the Sangria which he said was, "good". I really wanted to start with a Nopales salad- but none is available. Guacamole was freaking fresh though- but agree with someone else mentioning lots of chopped onions in it. My Camarones al Ajillo's were good. The hero-type bread was a bit unusual but hey...I dunked that sucker right in the garlic sauce (the hell with Keto!) and hubs liked his Chicken Fajitas with fresh veggies- down to the mushrooms.
I don't mind coming back here. Seems like Mexico Lindo has a knack for serving it up real good...for this long in these parts.........despite their 3 & 1/2!
