Arrived about 10:20 A.M. got in line at the drive thru. Waited a few minutes behind one other car, the other car drove away. I waited a few more minutes when a gentleman walked around the building and told me the drive thru was closed. I drove around, walked in, the place was dark, no workers in site. All the doors unlocked! I left on a hurry.. reported to law enforcement.

Food is good but they keep messing up on it I keep telling them no rice extra beans and they do the opposite or add rice which I’m allergic too, one more time and I’m done going to Lina’s (disappointed)

The door said they were open until 5am. Online it said they were open until 2am. The open sign was on but the door was locked at 6:45pm. I left and went to A-Dong. I will never be back.

I’ve tried burritos in several states and this place serves the BEST burrito I’ve ever had in my life!! The taste and everything about it! I ordered a side of mexican rice and a customized shredded beef burrito with “half shrimp” as their menu says but they actually put a lot of shrimp which made it even more exceptional!! Reasonable&affordable price and the food comes in big portions. The rice was even more delicious and balanced well with the burrito. I ordered their burrito everyday for 3 days straight and i ate them for breakfast, lunch and dinner! Lol! Best mexican food in town and very highly recommended.. you haven’t lived until you try their burritos! Also, they’re open almost all night for those who get off work late like myself, this is very very convenient. Thank you Lina’s mexican restaurant for existing! My forever favorite burrito place 😇

Unbelievable how can someone charge one and then take a tip right out after on one card and have bad service and food. The food aint that good for the price. What a let down . EVEYONE WHO PAYS WITH CARD CHECK THE RECEIPTS THEY RIP THE PART OFF FOR THE TIP AND ADD IT THEMSELVES!!

Me and my friend came to this establishment to get some good Mexican style cuisine. We both ordered the same thing. A steak burrito. When our food got done a server brought us our food and when I picked up my burrito grease came dripping down. The whole bottom of my burrito was tearing apart due to it being soaked in grease. When I brought it an employees attention they stated “ it’s just the queso “. I couldn’t finish the whole burrito. I was going to save the rest for later. The next day after eating at this Establishment me and my friend both was VERY sick, back and fourth to the restroom, vomiting. And this lasted a few days. I went to the doctor and they informed me I have PARASITES. DO NOT EAT HERE!

We ordered the 2 carne asada burrito meal, thr 2 carne asada taco meal, a shrimp special burrito, and, 1 regular carne asada taco. I have notes. When we got to the area, we were tired and hungry and needed food fast. The meat did indeed need some seasoning as it was lacking in flavor. Their sauces are good, fairly spicy, but not overwhelming. My husband and I were in agreement that their beans were great and even had a hint of smoked flavor oddly enough. The rice wasn't impressive, but overall, it was an ok meal, and it arrived quickly. We will be eating our leftovers for at least a day, maybe more because the plates were larger than we had anticipated. I would say that if you're hungry and want some quick Mexican food, it's worth a try. While some things did lack in flavor, nothing we got was gross.

Truly awful. Honestly, not the place to go after being out for a night. We walked from Court Ave, and upon arriving, it’s only drive-through, and they wouldn’t take our order when we called— just hung up. They weren’t fast, and prices are the same as most Mexican restaurants; more than what is posted online. It was just such a hassle to try and get some food. We should have gone somewhere else. The night could have ended at 12:30 rather than 2 a.m. When we finally got to the car and went through the drive-through, it took 50 minutes to get our food that was already ready as we ordered for pickup online. The food was…ok. Ordered a burrito that showed in the picture it came with beans and rice and it did not. We left wishing we drank more and just went home instead.

Food wasnt Terrible but the customer service was horrific over the intercom we went through the drive thru which you can barely hear or understand them. I repeated 3 times what I wanted 2 chicken softshell tacos I made no alterations to the ingredients. When we got up to the window she repeated the order one of which was two beef tacos. We ordered beef nothing so I said no 2 softshell chicken tacos so she went and got our food luckily before leaving I checked and sure enough 2 beef hard shell tacos. Returned them and then it took maybe 10 minutes to get 2 chicken softshell tacos

Made an online order at 7-ish, went to pick it up and the door was locked. Maybe that should void giving a review entirely, but I count it as crappy/inadequate service.

Grab dinner for my family, very disappointed in everything. They used can food for everything we ordered. Nothing authentic or traditional. Literally anywhere else is better than this trash.

Man this place is TRASH now. WTH happened? 5 years ago it was FIRE! Now, it’s dead inside and out. The food is awful, like warm, watery beans and the rice? Don’t get me started. Damn- I mean this place used to have some value, but now- year it down and replace it.

I don’t think I’ve ever had worse food I’ve paid for if I’m honest. They used canned chicken for their chicken. That is embarrassing. Burrito was dripping literally all over the place because they used that. I have made better chicken burritos at my house with said chicken. Absolutely horrendous do not ever go here.
