Mi Lindo Oaxaca Restaurant

I decided to eat here while visiting Dallas because of the consistently positive reviews calling this a hidden gem in the Dallas area. I was not disappointed. Don't let the modest building and surroundings fool you; this is a great little restaurant.

I had the tlayuda, which was big, generously stuffed , and quite tasty. It took a bit of time to get the food ready, but it was worth it. Also, it is not true (as some reviewers have suggested) that the staff don't speak English. While I loved having the opportunity to practice my Spanish, I was able to flip to English when I got stuck. '

Also worth noting: a) the place is cash-only, and b) the parking sign says "Tacos King" or something like that, which can throw you off.

The only negative for me is that the place can use some updating.

This restaurant has a very unique household vibe to it. My mother is from Oaxaca, Mexico and she said the beans tasted just like the beans my grandmother made back home. I got subtle hints from the flavors in the food that would take me back to the time I travelled to Oaxaca myself. Great food! 4 stars because they did not have on hand various things they were offering on the menu.

Food Delicious, service is Good, but in urgent need to fix the area upstairs. Lack of ventilation, no restroom, and the stairs covered with carpet made waitress to fell down with dishes. Family atmosphere. I will go back ,but this time i will choose stay downstairs or the patio. Prices are great. Menu interesting. You should try the "chapulines".
