    Made a reso for a date/bday celebration and was underwhelmed. We were given a table at a high top by the bar instead of one of the nicer 2 top tables. The plates and silverware had an odd funky smell that we noticed as soon as we walked into the restaurant. The drinks were average. The food was tasty but not brought out hot. We had the carne asada tacos and steak fajitas. No acknowlement of the bday by the hostess or server.

    Food delicious. Very nice server. My only complaint was that we were rushed....the same 2 wait staffers continually tried to pull plates away (6 times) while we were still eating. We asked each time to wait until everyone was finished to no avail. Our waiter was very receptive and promised to tell management. Hope they listen

    We were seated promply at our reservation time but it took seven minutes (yes I timed it) until someone came over and greeted us…… it was Genevieve. And she was great! It was then we found out that the computer system went down, cash and room charges only and worse yet these poor folks were handling the food order (on paper) back to the kitchen staff - ALL IS FORGIVEN !!!! The rest if the evening was great; the appetizers were fantastic and our foos stellar. What started out as a crappy night out turned out pretty darn good

    Due to inclement weather, the outside dining area was closed. Outside seating has a wonderful view of the ocean. We sat inside (this place is a lot bigger than it looks) and it was fine. My friend and I ordered the same thing…the amazing brisket quesadilla. I have had other delicious items here but the brisket quesadilla is the main reason I make the trip. Don’t miss it!

    I selected Lina Cocina based on positive reviews to mark our daughter's birthday. However, we were placed in a separate room with a subpar ambiance. The food was mediocre, and the air conditioner leaked condensation on my son-in-law throughout dinner. When we informed the server, there was no apology, just a nonchalant acknowledgment. This falls short of what one would expect from excellent customer service. With numerous outstanding restaurants available, I don't see us returning here anytime soon; overall, not impressed.

    Our Server Viviana provided outstanding service, she and the bus girl team were very good. Maitre D' and hostess need to be more hospitable, they looked like they were in pain and annoyed by everyone. Food was good. Yes it is a problem finding the restrooms. I was celebrating my 27th anniversary and felt completely rushed. Overall nice but could've been better!

    Everything was good but only the guacamole was impressive. The ceviche was just dry shrimp and octopus, not authentic in lime juice with fresh vegetables and crisp flavor. Other than this, comfortable, good place. I would recommend another place for truly authentic Mexican but the food was not bad.

    we ended up here for happy hour taco Tuesday and it was REALLY good! 5$ margaritas and 5$ tacos. the tacos are fun because you get to basically go through a taco assembly line - and the portions are HUGE. service was lackluster but food made up for it. it was quiet around 5 pm and started getting packed around 6.

    I live in Fort Lauderdale full time and this is always a favorite to take guests. We took our granddaughter for her birthday and noted on the reservation. First...service very slow, unusual for here. They have coasters...use them!! I hate having to ask. No special candle or acknowledgement of birthday even though I ordered 2 desserts. There was a genetic card on the table. Had to search to get our check. Not a relaxed evening. May stay away awhile....
