Lina's vs. Abelardo's Mexican Food


  VS. 

As you have probably noticed by now, Mexican food is my all time favorite style of cuisine!! I LOVE everything about Mexican food, the flavors, the colors, the spicy, the sweet... You name it!  One of my all time favorite Mexican restaurants is Lina's Mexican Restaurant.  They are always quick and fresh; and they are probably one of the cheaper restaurants out there that gives you both a good quality and quantity of food for your buck!  I also love how Lina's is open 24 hours a day!! I mean, who doesn't have 2am cravings for Mexican food?? 
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! :)
