    Front entrance waiting area
    Ashley A.

    Place is bigger than it looks. It's decoration are lovely and colorful. Small waiting area plus desserts to checkout before getting seated. They have a full bar with a TV As we got settled in at our table. Chips and salsas were placed down and service right away. Food was delicious. We came for breakfast and I can't wait to come back for lunch/dinner. And of course I had to try their churros and I wasn't impressed much.

    Mole Enchiladas were exceptional!

    Casa de Lina officially receives a 5 star rating. Having a neighborhood restaurant with this quality of food and friendly service is what dreams are made of! The inside has a home-y feel with sombreros on the walls and Mexican tablecloths. Can't wait to come back!

    I've been here four times now and each time I keep saying it's just as delicious! I keep bringing anyone who will join me for amazing Mexican food. This time we ordered the menudo and chilaquiles and also had a guacamole with the chips while we waited. The food was just as delicious as I remembered it the first time! The staff just as friendly and attentive and the timing was just right! (Enough to know it's fresh food but not too long where your wondering what's happening back there) we drank the fresh squeezed lemonade and the cafe de olla. I love that the food is always so authentically tasty and the decore just reminds me of the little decorations I see in my tias houses. If you want to try authentic Mexican food you should stop by and see what they have. I still like everything I've had and will continue to come for the menudo and bring new friends so I can also try their plates lol. This looks like a little hole in the wall restaurant but don't let it deceive you, it opens up to a large dinning area with plenty of space. So bring your friends or come alone, either way, the food won't disappoint!

    New favorite Mexican food restaurant. This place is amazing . I've had breakfast and lunch here now and both times I didn't leave a crumb on my plate ! It's also 5 min away from my house!! The Mexican Coffee is the BEST !! I will eventually try everything on the menu lol . The atmosphere is great and you feel very comfortable like it's home .

    As a white girl married to a Mexican in another life (lol), I learned about mole' from my first MIL. I was immediately in love with it and shocked that it contained peanut butter & cocoa powder. Let me say that the very first bite of the mole enchiladas here sent me reeling back to her kitchen 40 years ago. YUM The queso was very good, as was the salsa. The warm chips with the queso seemed much fresher than the ones we got with our salsa. Hubby got the chicken fajitas and said they were good, although served differently than most Mexican restaurants now. No showy sizzling plate, just nice hot food. Our service was top notch - very friendly and fast and the frozen margarita was excellent!! No weird neon green here... actually looked and tasted of real lime juice. Ambiance was like being in a Meccan resort town. We came here because of other Yelp reviews and we were not disappointed.

    Chicken Enchiladas with Sour Cream.

    My friend said something negative about this restaurant so I wanted to check it out. Lol. I needed to go to the Threading Salon and my Dad needed to eat breakfast so, I told my Dad to get breakfast and order me something. Then when I was done at the threading salon, I would meet him at the restaurant. I waited a bit at the Threading Salon so, when I got to the restaurant I thought my food would be ready but it wasn't?. Just about every table was full and they seem to have help. I'm not sure what was going on? Then I waited some more while in the restaurant. The ladies spoke English and they were really nice. The first batch of chips we got were old and stale. The Hot Sauce had a subtle kick to it. The second batch of Chips were warm and fresh. If you get your order to go, they give you a complimentary Salsa and Chips. I ordered the Sour Cream Chicken Enchiladas. They were two large flower tortillas topped with Sour Cream and a good amount of shredded Chicken. The shredded chicken was bland and the sour cream sauce was just okay. The Beans were very tasty. The Rice liked flavor but, it did have a few peas in it. The visual presentation was spot on. I took half of my lunch home and it was so good! This Restaurant is for everybody. You see the semi young couple on a date and you see the Senior couple on a date, you see the large Hispanic family and you see the hard-working Hispanic laborers chowing down, along with a guy that came from the gym and grabbed his family with him. I really enjoyed the ambience of the Restaurant. There's a lot of detail that grabs your eye. I love the name of this restaurant too. In English it translates to The House of Lina.

    We stopped by for breakfast and I highly recommend this place. Definitely authentic Mexican breakfast! They start you off with complimentary chips and salsa. Salsa has a great kick to it! They do have spicier salsa available if you ask for it. The service was very attentive and wonderful. Ambiance is relaxed! The Huevos rancheros were so tasty and the salsa was also spicy which was great for me. Wish the regular coffee would have been much warmer but other than that a great place to eat ! They do offer tequila as well!

    Post pop up taco Tuesday run!

    Started out with great hot sauce! Good drinks! I had the chicken enchilada trio and it was great! Service was good and the new addition to the dining room was nice.

    Saw Bud Kennedy's review on La Casa and thought we would try it. Wow, it was really good! Very simple interiors, clean and a little cute The chips and salsa were exceptional. The salsa had some heat, but really tasted good, a little like Uncle Julio's, but better. Had their top shelf margarita and loved it. We had the chicken enchiladas verdes and the chile rellenos. Both were very good, the enchilada verdes at Los Asaderos are the best, but these were very good. Enjoyed the food, drinks and friendly service staff. I have read that their food was very authentic interior Mexican. All I know it was great!

    Trio Enchiladas with salsa ! Hubbie had this lovely sampler. Delicious. Our favorite was mole. Excellent flavor

We originally had an issue with the cookie that we bought, but we discovered it while we were still in the store and the staff quickly addressed it and replaced the cookie. They have a shared parking lot. So you may have to walk a little ways and they are conveniently located around a lot of different stores. We would definitely stop back by when we are in the area.

Manager said yes it will be 30 minutes, ring order and walks to back. I grab receipt and walked outside outside to wait. 15 mins pass and I walk inside to get greeted horribly by manager who mentions he won't give order next time because I reached and grabbed my receipt. After disagreement he goes on to say he was calling the police and that I had to leave the store. Security came in and asked about situation and I explained. Told him he had no valid reason to make me leave and no reason to refuse my purchase. I sat until he called police so I could get a report for records. Not only did he call the police he lied and told them that I had threatened him and called some guys from next door to witness I suppose. This is not a good look for your company and have someone working at your company that lacks proper management skills. I have documented this incident with the police report and hope to never see his face again! Considering contacting news outlet as well! He had no reason to display discriminatory behavior towards me. Basically manager had me wait 30 minutes to deny my purchase after waiting, call the police then lie to say I threatened him. As I mention and told manager and police, there's cameras in here go do a playback!
