    Delicious mexican, steaming hot fajita bowls. Fresh and tasty. Happy hour margueritas yummy,…read moreespecially the raspberry ones. Each one better than the last. Friendly service, making you feel right at home and welcome. Ambiance a bit fast food look to it but the food and drinks worth the trip!!!

    I'm kind of torn on this place. The first time we went was really good, but this time was just…read moremeh. We stopped in around 3pm for a late lunch. The portion sizes are good for the price. We ordered the quesadilla and 3taco plate. The items were decent but the rice was very dry. The tortillas were fresh and possibly homemade. We also ordered the chips and guac. The guac was delicious and fresh, the chips were not, lots of broken pieces like the end of a day old batch. The inside is very nice but there were several dirty tables and no one else dining. The music playing was rap music, didn't really fit the vibe. I might try again, but went back because the taco plate was so good on my last visit a few months ago so not consistent. The service wasn't bad but wasn't great either. We were the only ones in there and had to ask for utensils and a refill. We were still eating and she asked if we were ready to pay. I just said sure bring the check, but literally was chewing when she asked. I figured since it was a late lunch for us she just was ready to go home. She was kind and responsive to our needs.

    Our first time at the Shadowlake location, it's nice! Loved the murals and neon lights. We've been…read moreto the original location off of 36th and this one was just as good. We always have to get the Camarones Roca, jumbo shrimp in bang bang sauce. Chefs kiss! The birria quesadilla was huge and was filled with tender beef and the consume for dipping. We also got the tostada especial and thought it would be a small portion, wrong! It was also huge, I'm not complaining! Filled with shrimp, scallops, octopus, avocado and more. I can't remember the name of the drink, but it was also very good with mezcal, anchovies and tamarind. Id definitely order it again. Great experience, service was quick and our server very nicer. You should check this place out.

    My friend and I were here on a Saturday when they open thier doors at 11am. There was 2 other…read moreparties that was at the restaurant and it soon filled up later. Our server came to our table at around 11:30am take our drink orders. That is 30 minutes, of not being acknowledged. We ordered waters and two alcoholic drinks. My friend's drink was very strong and wanted to change it to a different one. The server refused to take the drink back and said she had to ask a manager if they are able to switch it to a different drink. She came back 10 mins later took our food order. My friend asked her if she was able to take the drink back for a different drink. The server said I don't know I haven't gotten a response back and walked away. Our food came out and she was able to get my friend a different drink. My friend asked her to take away the old drink (cause we need space on the table for the food) she walked away without a response. We finished our food and asked our server for the check. It took the server over 30 mins! To get us our check. The food was amazing we got Taco de asada, taco brirria and a few sushi rolls. The service on the other hand was the worst service I had ever experienced. Sitting there for 30 minutes before we were even served. The drink situation could've been handle better. There was so much push back for no reason at all. Our total time from being seated to finally getting our check was 2 hours. From being seated at 11am, our food coming out at 12am and finallt getting our check at 1pm. We weren't in any rush but we were there long enough to feel neglected by our server. There was lots of moments that we thought were forgetten. The server was not attentive to us at all. Sometimes we felt she ignored us and was avoiding us.

    Lina's never lets us down. I usually get a shrimp burrito or shredded beef tacos, but most…read moreimportantly they have mild restaurant style salsa that I grew up with. This is the Mexican spot that we usually hit when we want some comfort food that reminds us of back home. The service is quick sometimes language barrier is a little bit of issue, but they always make it right. You can take it to go, they are open 24 hours a day and you can also stop in. We love it. My son loves the green chili burrito/enchiladas and my husband loves the carne asada burrito. I will definitely get pictures next time. Everything just gets eaten up way too quick.

    This is quite possibly the worst "Mexican" food I've ever had in my life. We ordered several items…read moreand not a single thing was good. Where do I even start? "Big Tacos" - these aren't big at all. They're basically the size of Taco Bell's small hardshell tacos, except almost twice the price and half the quality. The ground beef was dry and bland. The shells had the same texture, consistency, and flavor that you'd find in a cheap box of DIY shells from ALDI, except worse. "Rolled Tacos" - these are taquitos. Just call them what they are. Again, the meat was dry and bland. Tasted like it came out of a pre-made frozen box that they sprinkled some shredded cheese on before heating up. "Cheese Quesdilla" - this was 100% just straight up microwaved. At no point did the tortillas touch a hot pan. To add insult to injury, they put sour cream INSIDE the quesadilla before microwaving it, causing the sour cream to become hot, broken down, and of course making the microwaved quesadilla even soggier. Apparently no one told them sour cream is supposed to be a COLD condiment. The best part about our visit was the drive thru, which wasn't great, either. The person repeated our order wrong no fewer than 3 times at the speaker, and again no fewer than 3 times at the window. The person wasn't rude or unfriendly by any means; just seemed like their manager set them up to fail by providing little to no training for the role.
