BUT there is another restaurant that I have found to be very similar to Lina's that I would like to mention; Abelardo's Mexican Food. Just like Lina's they are open 24 hours a day and offer a lot of the same menu items. So I thought I would let the two battle each other out and see which one won my vote!!
I will say that Abelardo's has a better selection of the "Mexican" drinks, where as Lina's just has the basic Horchata and Mexican Coca-Cola and fountain drinks! Making the score Lina's: 0, Abelardo's: 1.
Although Abelardo's has a good drink selection, they are lacking in the sauce department. I absolutely LOVE Lina's sauces that they offer to their diners. They have three sauces: Hot, medium, and mild. I actually prefer the mild sauce at Lina's because of the flavor; and the hot isn't really all that hot! At Abelardo's they didn't have quite the selection of sauces that I would have liked, and the sauce that I did try didn't have such a good flavor. Score: Lina's: 1 - Abelardo's: 1... Looks like we have a tie!
Although, the final point will go to the restaurant that has the best grub. As I mentioned before, they both have very similar menu options. I love Lina's "Carne Asada Burrito," it tastes JUST like something you would eat in Mexico! Last time I was at Abelardo's I tried the "Pollo Asado," I have to say I wasn't impressed. The flavor was good, but the ingredients didn't seem as fresh...
So, my verdict: Lina's wins!!
You may have a different opinion, and I would love to hear it; Good or bad! But I definitely recommend trying out Lina's Mexican Restaurant! Get the Carne Asada Burrito and you will feel like you are chewing on a piece of Mexico! :)
