My first time there was on Sunday, it was so good, I told my wife, not to cook today, cause we are going back to Mi Lindo Apatzingan and it only 5 days later Friday night with my honey. It's the bomb, I highly recommend to my brother inlaw. Thank you all at Mi Lindo Apatzingan.💖💖💖💖

Pretty good spot for cheap messican food. It’s really small inside but it’s usually not too busy, tacos are pretty cheap and pretty good. Not the best tacos in the world but in the area they’re pretty damn good. The rest of the food is really good too. They serve beer, and have one of those jukeboxes that u can play songs on from ur phone if u have the app (u have to buy credits tho) also they have AC which is a huge plus! I honestly love it here. Nice lil hole in the wall spot.

There is an old adage in food criticism that the best flavors often come from the most unassuming places. Mi Querido Apatzingán fits this mold perfectly. It is a restaurant that demands a compromise: if you are willing to overlook parking situation, you will be rewarded with some of the most authentic, handmade Mexican comfort food in the area. ​ ​The kitchen here is clearly operating with pride and tradition. The standout of the meal was the Chicken Mole Plate. Mole is a notoriously difficult sauce to master, often leaning too sweet or too bitter, but here they have found a beautiful equilibrium. The sauce offered a complex interplay of sweet and spicy notes that coated the tender chicken perfectly. ​Similarly, the Camarones a la Diabla (Deviled Shrimp) lived up to their name. They packed a punch with a heat that was assertive without being punitive, maintaining excellent flavor underneath the spice. ​However, the true heroes of the meal were the handmade tortillas. Thick, warm, and fresh off the comal, they transformed the accompanying rice and beans from standard side dishes into a memorable part of the meal. Using a piece of a fresh, handmade tortilla to scoop up that mole sauce is an experience worth the trip alone. ​The Atmosphere: ​While the food warms the soul, the environment leaves a lot to be desired. The dining room is on the smaller side and feels very intimate. This closeness is exacerbated by the acoustics; the music is played at a volume that makes conversation nearly impossible. If you are looking for a quiet place to catch up with a friend, this isn't it. You come here to eat, not to chat. ​The Logistics ​The struggle begins before you even sit down. The parking lot is exceptionally small, turning arrival into a tactical maneuver. I would strongly advise against bringing large groups or multiple cars, as finding a spot can be a headache. ​The Verdict ​Mi Querido Apatzingán is a destination for purists. It offers authentic, high-quality plates—anchored by those incredible handmade tortillas—but requires you to tolerate a loud, cramped dining room and a difficult parking lot. For the mole alone, I’d argue it’s a trade-off worth making

I tried this restaurant due to the high rating but was disappointed. The food was not very tasty. The 3 standard sauces were pretty mild in heat and the flavors were also not strong. The salsa that came with the chips started out pretty good but also didn't stand out. The corn tortillas were special: large and thick. A lot of Spanish families were here for a Saturday night family dinner but I probably won't return.

Chips and Salsa - salsa is very spicy 👍 The floors are very dirty 👎 tables are also not kept clean 👎 you get the feeling that you’re in Rosarito (not a bad thing)👍 Posole- good presentation The menu is very long, way too many options (it’s very confusing).

We called ahead stating we were a large party. I was the first one to arrive and was shocked at how small the restaurant was. They really thought we would fit there. The tables are almost at elbow space. Most of the tables were taken. I figured they wanted us to wait a while until some people left, I was dreading that idea because even then the tables were too close to each other. I figured that it would be fine because of all the good reviews. I did not want to be the Negative Nacy of the group, but then one of the waitresses asked me to wait outside and it was drizzling, Lol. There was no waiting area outside. As soon as you walk out, you are pretty much stepping on a parking space. As soon as my party arrived, one of them went to go check out the layout. Unanimously, we decided to go to California Pizza Kitchen. The summary from me is that the service was not good because I was asked to step outside, the tables are too close together, and the parking is limited. People actually park where it says; No Parking.

Overpriced for quantity. Music is way too loud for the elderly. Service is not attentive or friendly. Graffiti all over in restroom. And what’s with the “no moving after you’ve been seated” sign?! Mexican Mafia?!
