We love neighborhood restaurants, and Lindo Michoacan, with three locations across the Valley, has been a beloved mainstay since the original Desert Inn version opened its doors in 1990. The menu is homey and massive, and the chips and salsa are addictive. Plus, you won’t find a better patio on which to sip margaritas than the one in Henderson. Lindomichoacan.com.
