If you ever need the most delicious quickie dinner, whether it's pre-show or pre-picking up kid from grandma's house– Lindo Michoacan will never let you down. Please Note: We are ONLY talking about Lindo Michoacan on East Desert Inn. I know plenty of people who have tried the one on West Flamingo and did not like it. They Summerlinized it for the rick folks west of Hualapai. Doubt it? At Flamingo, they actually have white waiters and ask you if you want soup or salad! Wha? Wha? That's just not right.
No, no, for the best, you have to go to the best. The original is still the best. I remember the first time Matthew brought me there (while he was still courting). He told them it was my birthday, even though it was probably 5 months until my birthday. Best birthday tradition at a restaurant hands down. They sing to you, put a sombrero on your head and make you do a tequila shooter. Yummy!
Anyways, here we are, Friday evening, wrinkle rush and we are the youngest people in the place. I swear, no matter how packed this place gets (and it is always busy), they still seat you right away and you are ALWAYS in and out in 35 minutes unless YOU prolong the meal.
The busboys are always delivering perfectly on the mark. You get your chips, beans, and salsa immediately after sitting down. Drinks come, water comes. When you have 2 chips left in your bowl, the busser comes over and replaces the bowl with another filled with warm chips. Such good service.
It must all be timed there. When you are halfway done with the 2nd bowl of chips, Matthew always gets up from the table to wash his hands, comes back and the Fideo soup has been delivered to the table. Amazing consistency in a restaurant is so hard to find. Matthew got a chicken dish. He always gets a chicken dish and is always happy. He's tried them all and they are all good. They are about $14-$19. I always order a shrimp dish. Last night it was Camarones Perepecha,™ which is good, but I like some of their other shrimp dishes a bit more.
If you really want to be bad, they have a shrimp dish, I think it's Camarones Abuelito Timo. They take the biggest shrimp you ever saw, wrap them with bacon, smother them with cheese (and if you haven't had a heart attack yet) they pour some yummy sauce over them. I've only tried this once- and it was enough for me. Too much guilt. The shrimp dishes are more on the $17-21 end.
We each had a drink and left 20% so we spent about $60. They do have a number of lunch specials, though, if you get their earlier for your quick meal. Definitely perfect for a sit down meal on a 1-hour lunch break. You can't lose.
Lindo Michoacan is definitely our Go-to for Mexican AND for quick bites.
