I'm all for paying the price for high quality and consistency, I just felt like it was only "kind of" there. While my family and I felt overall that our meal was good and we'd probably return, I felt that some of the sides were rather lacking, and while the filling of the gourmet tacos was good, the shells were underwhelming and the portion size wasn't enough to justify the price. I'm not entirely sure if they're made fresh or par cooked then re-cooked, but they definitely were not fresh, unfortunately.
The churros, while good with the chocolate ganache were tough to eat and too chewy. We barely had enough (and we took little bits). The chips and guac were $9.50, so we expected a large guac container (as compared to other places in the area that do takeout guac), and while it was delicious, it was very small. We also ordered a large side of chips & guac as well as a side of churros. One big complaint was that the corn tortilla shells were VERY rubbery, wasn't a fan at all. My meat in the short rib was tough and chewy and though, while I ate it, was my least favorite of the 3. The coconut shrimp taco was also delicious, and the short rib was honestly just ok. The americanos were kind of plain, but still good overall. The kids meals i felt were a good value coming with tacos, fries(not chips?), and churro's. My wife liked the salad, just sad we had no shell to break up. How can you sell a taco salad without the big lamp shade taco shell? HOW? Not complaining, we just usually love breaking up the lamp shade at the end of the salad haha. First, let's talk about heresy in taco places. My family ordered kids meals and a taco salad.
I ordered the sample pack of 3 tacos which came with a coconut shrimp taco, a short rib taco, and a bahn mi taco. However, if i'm paying $15.00 for 3 tacos, i'd hope they're a little bigger than a bite and a half. I know the name literally means "little taco" and you can pack a LOT of flavor into small bites. Those mango & roasted poblanos on top of a taco were heaven. There was no rhyme or reason to it, while not a HUGE deal, it really was my only complaint. My issue with Lindo was when you would order toppings for takeout sometimes they were ON the tacos, sometimes on the side, sometimes you got a little (or barely any), sometimes you got a lot. It was definitely not "cheap" Ameri-Mex but wasn't over the top, and always hit the spot. I felt their pricing was very fair for what you got and the portions were JUST right. Since its still technically the same business just with different ownership & branding, the review will reflect as such. The previous Taco place (Taco Lindo) was purchased(?) by Caballito.
