Great food and customer service are the secret ingredients for Lindo Mexico

When you have great food and great customer service, it should be no surprise that business is good. Very good.

The popular Mexican restaurant, Lindo Mexico, will be moving to its third location in the last five years, having continually outgrown each preceding location.

The new building for Lindo Mexico is currently under construction at 1742 28th St. SE in Wyoming. It previously was the home to Ponderosa restaurant. The opening is scheduled in September, pending final approval of a liquor license, almost five years to the day they opened in a small location on the corner of 28th St. and Clyde Park.

Gricelda Mata, owner and founder, says the new location is significantly larger and gives her the opportunity to add a full service bar, a bigger kitchen and more seats. In addition, Mata says there will be at least "4-5 new jobs" added.

Mata says Lindo Mexico has a few "Tex-Mex" offerings on the menu, but the real focus is on traditional Mexican food, made with fresh ingredients, inspired by her birthplace in Michoacan, Mexico.

Besides the great food prepared by her brother, Chef Cris Campos, Mata attributes her restaurant success to exceptional customer service. "I am very strict with the hiring," she says. 'We stress customer service at all times."
