Lindo is Spanish for pretty; Michoacan is a state in central Mexico---and Lindo Michoacan is a topnotch neighborhood restaurant. The colorful eatery is decorated with striking south-of-the border posters and artifacts bought by owner Javier Barajas in his native Michoacan. Tiled floors enhance the ambience; in a tiled tortilleria, fresh flour and corn tortillas are turned out all day and night. Tasty bean and salsa dips and a basket of chips are placed on the tables when guests are seated. Among the extensive selection of botanas (appetizers), try the Papa Chencho---a platter of taquitos, jalapeÃ±os, corn and flour quesadillas served with guacamole and sour cream. Dinners are served with sopa de fideos (soup), rice, beans and flour tortillas. Barajasâ€™s recommendations, along with ours, include the Mexican festival dish of fresh goat cooked with assorted dried chilies, spices and beer---we describe it as his version of osso buco. Lunch specials are offered from 11 a.m.-5 p.m. Tio (Uncle) Raul's flan is a winner, as are Abuelita (Grandmother) Ninfa's churros.
