Mexico Lindo is the Mexican specialty restaurant inside the Barceló Aruba All-Inclusive Resort on J.E. Irausquin Boulevard. Available primarily to Barceló guests as part of the all-inclusive package, it serves a traditional Mexican menu (chicken flautas, ribeye tacos, fajitas, fresh guacamole) alongside well-made margaritas in a casual resort-restaurant setting.

About Mexico Lindo

Open daily for dinner only (6-10pm). As an all-inclusive specialty restaurant, reservations are typically required and limited to resort guests — non-guests should contact the resort directly to inquire about à la carte access. Located within the Barceló property, accessible via the resort’s main lobby. Bilingual staff with strong English fluency. The standout staff names appearing in reviews: Rodell, Sammy, Carmen, Hanes, Leyla.

Signature Dishes & What to Order

Order the chicken flautas or the ribeye tacos as your main. The traditional fajitas plate is a reliable value, and the margaritas are well-mixed (the Mexican rotation gets praise). The guacamole leans simple — go in expecting house-style rather than tableside-fresh. Customizable orders work well, including halal-friendly accommodations on request — the staff are notably attentive to dietary requests.

What Diners Say

4.4 stars from 11 reviews — small sample size, but consistently positive themes: friendly service (Rodell and the team get repeated mentions), tasty traditional dishes, generous staff hospitality. As an all-inclusive resort restaurant, it competes on service warmth as much as cuisine — and on that axis, it scores well.

Practical details worth knowing

Aruba sits outside the hurricane belt, which is why the weather here stays reliable when much of the Caribbean does not. The island runs on the US dollar alongside the Aruban florin, so American visitors rarely need to change money, and English is spoken almost everywhere alongside Dutch, Papiamento and Spanish.

Distances are short. The island is roughly 32 kilometres long and 10 wide, so nothing is more than about 40 minutes from anywhere else. Most visitors base themselves on Palm Beach or Eagle Beach and reach the rest of the island by tour or rental car.

When to go

Rates and crowds peak from January through April. May to early December is quieter and noticeably cheaper, with calmer seas and the same near-constant sunshine. Rainfall stays low year-round, and what does fall tends to arrive as brief afternoon showers rather than washed-out days.

Booking ahead

Tours sell out faster than hotels here. Reserve 24 to 48 hours ahead in low season and three to five days ahead in peak months, particularly for catamaran sails and sunset cruises. Most bookings cancel free up to 24 hours before, so there is little downside to locking something in early.
