If I could only give 0 stars due to their customer service and quality of food. The morning lady worker is very rude and she acts like she you’re an inconvenience. If you reach out to the company, they clearly don’t care about their customers bc they will just ignore you. I have reached out 3x to talk about their rude, Un-knowledgeable employee and I can see they read my messages and nothing, no response. Their food is terrible anyways. I used to go here several times a week for many months just bc it was convenient, but definitely will drive further for better food and customer service elsewhere.

I ordered the 2 burrito meal, choosing 1 beef, and 1 chicken. It’s a lot of food, so I planned on eating one for lunch, and saving the other later.I started with the beef which was just mehhhh. That said I figured I’d try the chicken. That was worse, it had zero flavor.Neither could be fully consumed. The best on the plate were the beans. I despise wasting money, and food. Sad to say, the plate went in the trash.

What can I say about this place? :-) I have loved Lina's for what seems like a decade since it first opened. Wow, has it been that long?! I think it converted from an Avelardos(?) but I maybe mistaken. Regardless, it does follow the same menu pattern as one of those restaurants as well. Also good by the way. The whole family of restaurants is a local treasure here in Omaha for late night munchies. So many memories! Anyways this restaurant is always very nice, very accommodating to custom orders, and makes a damn good horchata! I know, I know, not for everybody, but the kid in me loves a good horchata! Definitely recommend this restaurant!

The lady behind the counter could use some customer service skills. She was sullen and asked what I wanted. No thank you for the purchase and delivered it without a word at the table. Food at best was average and somewhat bland. Will be giving this place the sign of the cross.

Food was great like always but the person who was in charge of giving us our food was chewing on her nails which wouldn’t be a huge deal if she wasn’t in the view of the drive through window

The food is always flavorful. Good price for the amount given. The staff are very friendly as well. During the pandemic it was about the only place open late nights.

Always amazing, fresh, and authentic Mexican food! Not to mention the fact that they are still open 24 hours! It's definitely worth the relatively inexpensive prices no matter what time of day or night!

Being a breakfast burrito fan, especially homemade with the bomb tortillas I was looking forward to this. Must have caught Linas on one of their off days because I was NOT impressed, like at all. Had the hashbrown breakfast burrito and it was garbage. I didn't even finish 1/4 of it because it just tasted off.

Well been going here since they opened, Late one night after playing poker I wrapped my Jeep around the yellow pole in the parking lot and Police ? Officer's have done the same as tons of people. But omg love their FOOD

This place looks like it used to be some sort of 50s/60s themed diner when it was first built. However, it's been Lina's for probably 10 years now. It has a drive thru and a small dining room too. Order at the counter.The adobadas tacos are pretty good, but I do wish their adobadas meat was a bit more moist. Theirs tends towards the dry side and I like mine a little saucy.Chicken Chimichanga was very good. Lots of quality chicken meat in it and a great tortilla as well. It's very filling too! A great value.Is it authentic? I don't know. I don't really care either. It tastes good. I've never been one of those annoying Mexican food elitists that go on and on about authenticity.They're give you a small tray of complimentary chips and there's a small salsa bar in the dining room.Service was friendly and food was ready quickly.Restaurant was clean.
