It was not especially busy or crowded when I went around 1pm on a Sunday. They did not wait tables here, instead you order when you first enter and then seat yourself. As a result, many of the tables could've used a good wipe down when we came in, but maybe they had just finished with the lunch rush. They have a very extensive menu with some unique dishes that not every Mexican restaurant offers. The staff was friendly and politely answered our questions. I was surprised that they had a mini salsa bar with chips sitting out, it was a good alternative to not giving out free chips since there isn't a wait staff. It was a neat concept, but the chips didn't seem quite as fresh as I would normally prefer. I ordered the steak quesadilla and was pleasantly surprised by the size. I certainly took half of it home to munch on later. The flavor and quality was good overall. My friend enjoyed her California burrito, which was extremely large. She also was pleasant surprised by their fountain drink pricing. Great value overall. I don't know if I'd come back here for a Mexican restaurant night out with friends, but it is certainly a good quick option (they also have a drive-through), for a high value lunch or takeout!

From the very start, Jimena was an absolute blessing. She was so kind and patient, taking the time to walk me through the menu over text to make sure everything was perfect for our crew. Then came the night of the event: Jorge stayed late past midnight just to make sure our food was freshly packed and handled with care. Seeing his warm smile at 1:00 AM truly filled my heart with joy and set the tone for the entire night. The food itself brought so much joy to our team. We have colleagues from all over the globe, including a teammate from the Congo who had never seen or tasted a burrito before. After eating half of his, he asked for a bag to take the rest home and asked, "What do you call this food?" I told him, "It's called a burrito" to which he exclaimed, with pure excitement, "I'm in love with burrito!!" To Jimena, Jorge, and the wonderful team at Lina's: thank you from the bottom of my heart for making Tracy's 20-year milestone so memorable. Your food is incredible, but your warmth, dedication, and genuine hospitality are what truly set you apart. We are so grateful!

I was buying gas across the street when I spotted Lina's and decided to try their drive-thru. The…read moremenu looked kind of like Abelardo's but they have a veggie burrito, which I think Abelardo's doesn't have. It was big enough for two meals with rice, beans, lettuce, cheese, sour cream, guacamole and pico. I also got some mild red sauce which turned out to be too hot for me. The burrito already had a bit of a kick. I also ordered a cinnamon churro which was an average churro. The burrito was great, so I would get it again.

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.

I have to be honest, I've only had tacos. I always start with tacos anywhere I go to see if they do those well. My general thought is that if they can't do tacos well, they probably aren't doing other things well. Unreliable and unscientific, to be sure, but it's my process. I can safely report that El Alteño does tacos right. The chorizo tacos were excellent, as were the chicken tacos. Seasoned to perfection and the chicken is so juicy and tender. The tacos come with onions and cilantro. And if you like your tacos with a dollop of guacamole, you won't get it here. But don't worry, they bring you an avocado salsa that will knock your socks off. All their salsas are solid. The service is good and it's been pretty efficient in my visits. They have an extensive menu that I hope to start exploring next time. Then again, the tacos are so good, why get anything else?

The ordering process was super simple from instagram! Their ordering page is linked to their IG page. A few clicks and I was set! They had the order ready in less than 15 minutes and the text alert system was great. I walked in and they had the order ready to go. It seemed like a smooth system, efficient and accurate. There were a ton of to go orders ready and the woman working was on the phone and still helped me. Super great service! Good price too, $25 for 3 birria and 3 street tacos seems like value in this economy! Flavor wise, some of the best birria I've tried! The consommé was savory, had tons of onion and cilantro, and came with a side of radish and lime. The meat was rich and moist without much fat, and the cheese was melty and there was plenty of it! We'll be back for sure. They don't have alcoholic drinks but there's plenty of aguas frescas and horchata. The desserts looked really good and I wish I would've picked up some fresas con crema or choco flan.
