Camino Lindo Mexican Restaurant & Cantina 

You know those treasures as far as eating and drinking establishments that some locals only want to keep secret and not share?  Well, I’m about the blow the whistle on this place…Camino Lindo in Lighthouse Point is one of the most amazing Mexican restaurants in Southern Florida. 

Camino Lindo is great on the Price-to-Quanity Ratio with heaping portions that will make you scream Doggy Bag Please!  What I did not realize and was spoiled after having it there years ago, there is a special sauce only offered by the Argentinians—Chimichurri Sauce.  This is nectar of gods as far as I am concerned and consists of:  oil, basil, garlic, and pine nuts (I think) and is pureed into a sauce and I actually dream of it.  With the meal that I ordered, I received:  a skirt steak exactly how I wanted it, rice that did not taste like Mall Chinese Food rice and had flavor, and a cheese enchilada—all for about $14.   

However, another one of their specialties are their margaritas which are out of this world and Old World tasting.  I had a margarita that was made with Gran Gala (orange liqueur) and was delightful hours later.  During their Happy Hour they feature half-priced margaritas, well drinks, and domestic beers and did I forget to mention that every Wednesday Mariachis perform! 

Camino Lindo is located at 4480 N Federal Highway in Lighthouse Point.  No reservations are required for most parties—but if going with 20 people, call them at 954-941-8226.  Oh, when I say that this is truly a family restaurant, if a black and curly haired woman greets and then seats you, feel free to call her Mom—I do!
