“Located next to Sovereign Bank, you can recognize the place from the large crowds it draws at night.”

“The carnitas was tender and juicy but the show stealer had to be the orejas (pig ear) tacos which literally melts in your mouth.”

“Seeing some older negative reviews, but I stopped by today and this is one of the best places to get a quesadilla on Roosevelt Avenue”

  1. I don't know about "lindo," but these tacos are definitely sabroso.   The carne enchilda and al pastor tacos had juicy, marinated meat, sweet in the latter case and spicy in the former, with sauteed diced onions and sprigs of cilantro.  My friends seemed to enjoy the chicken, beef, and veggie tacos as well. I liked the condiments bar where you could add your own radishes, hot peppers, green, red, and avocado salsas, and fresh lime to taste. We were looking for the Tacos Guicho truck, but either it wasn't there that Sunday, or the address on Yelp is wrong. In any case, the tacos from Mi Mexico Lindo hit the spot.

  2. I've only had the tacos here, but at only $2 a pop, they're delish! I most recommend the bistec, chicken and carnitas – in that order.

    Considering that I've been waking by this cart almost everyday for about 2 years, it's pretty shocking that I've only eaten from here twice (something that I totally plan on remedying) and today was the first time I checked in because I didn't even realize that this modest taco cart even HAD a Yelp check-in!

    Totally plan on returning to try the sopes, flautas, quesadillas and if I can muster the courage – the orejas (pig's ear, ACK!) since I hear that they're "melt in your mouth good".

  3. Located on the corner of Gleane St. & Roosevelt Ave. in front of Sovereign Bank, two ladies serve a variety of tacos ($2), tortas ($4), tostadas ($2) and more. For my first visit, I ordered a Taco de Carnitas (roasted pork) ($2), Taco de Bistec (Beef) ($2), and Quesadilla de Bistec ($2). Ordering was a bit hard as they spoke mostly spanish with a few words of English. Since I haven't spoken Spanish for a while, I had some difficulties, but was able to order for the most part. For the tacos, they will serve your choice of meat on two taco shells and ask you if you want the other sides on top, including cilantro, guacamole, and raw diced onions. It took about 5 minutes for my order to be prepped. Located in front of the cart is a variety of sides that you can also add (green sauce, hot sauce, lime wedges, etc.).

    The food was served sizzling hot, almost too hot to handle. The taco de carnitas was fairly tasty but could have used a bit more seasoning. I also found the carnitas to be slightly on the dry side. The real highlight was the bistec (beef) which I ordered in Taco and Quesadilla fashion. The bistec was tender, juicy and very flavorful. I would have easily ordered 2 or 3 of these. I thought the Quesadilla version was a bit tastier, instead of two soft shell tacos, they serve it open faced on one taco shell with which I believe Oaxaca cheese is also sprinkled on top. Although the ingredients are pretty similar, I found it be so much more juicier and flavorful.

    If you're taking a stroll down Roosevelt Ave., definitely make a pitstop here. Portions are generous, meats were tasty, and all other vegetable ingredients were very fresh.

  4. We came here to eat a midnight snack. The line wasn't very long at all, but the wait was forever!! I mean, I guess that's a good thing because it means they are making it fresh? But when you're with two hungry boys and there's really no place to sit and wait… or stand and wait without being in someone's way walking on the sidewalk… well.. it's enough to be turned off a little. And that's only waiting with two people ahead of us.
    They also got our order wrong… which is weird to me because.. there were only two people ahead of us!
    In any case, the tacos were pretty good. The chicken was a little dry, but the beef and pork were excellent. It's also mondo cheap so that's always a plus.
    Maybe if it wasn't to humid and hot out (yes.. even at midnight), I would've had more patience.. but not this time. For something taking that long to be made, it should've been exceptional… and it wasn't.  =(…
    Maybe next time??
