At the suggestion of Nick, our Happy Hour host from the Best Western, I found myself waddling my way into Mexico Lindo. I got a splash of joy right from the start! The moment we quacked open the door, the warm, family-friendly atmosphere wrapped around us like a cozy floatie. Laughter bubbled up around us, and families enjoying their meals were as lively as a pool party on a sunny day.
A Happy Birthday wall immediately by the front door added to the family feel. What a splash-tastic idea! It was filled with photos from celebrations, adding an extra sprinkle of happiness to the ambiance.
The restaurant was almost full when we arrived, but a phenomenal and attentive team of servers still welcomed my humans and me. We wanted for nothing as they all worked together to ensure our glasses were full of water, our chip bowl was replenished as needed, and they even stopped to have their photo taken with me.
As we settled into our booth, crispy house-made tortilla chips and zesty salsa arrived at our table faster than I could say “quack!” Let me tell you, those chips were still warm, and that salsa—WOW. I’m not sure what the special ingredient was, but it was beak-smaking tasty.
The drink menu had a few interesting options, with my human choosing a house specialty – Pink Potion—a drink that whisked her straight to a tropical paradise. It’s like a piña colada, but with a splash of magic that makes it unique. They know how to mix up a good time!
For the main event, we dove into some delightful dishes. The Camarones al Mojo de Ajo had plump shrimp and mushrooms sautéed with a shower of garlic goodness—irresistible! The Mexican rice, beans, and salad accompanying it were the perfect sidecars for this delectable dish.
My other human chose the Taco Salad from the Light section of the menu. The perfectly cooked and seasoned beef was atop a taco shell full of rice, beans, fresh veggies, cheese, and a dollop of sour cream.
Whether you’re celebrating a birthday, enjoying a family meal, or simply indulging in delicious Mexican flavours, Mexico Lindo is the place to be. I’m just a rubber duck, but even I can appreciate a great dining adventure! Quack-tastic!
