Staff could be friendlier or mor attentive. I've only purchased the Cocido soup for my mom. She says it's the only place she would eat it from it's always on pint and good. Purchased it many times and at times it's sold out. !!!
I normally get the lunches $9 not bad when you're in the Washington heights area other than that Chicken pepper steak white rice white beans is very good also the shakes and juices are great
Lina restaurant is Inwoods Best Kept Secret! Small place BUT the food is AWESOME! ask for the "Lina Steak" large piece of steak served with Red Onions on a Sizzling Plate! OMG my mouth is watering again! The yellow rice with shrimp is made to order so expect a 30-40 min wait BUT its worth it! Try Lina Restaurant you'll thank me later!
This is an excellent place for Dominican style dining. It was a go to joint when I lived in the area.
Lina is an excellent Dominican restaurant that has been in Inwood for many years. If you are looking for a humble, family run restaurant with fresh, high quality food, this is the spot. The menu is extensive and has everything you could ask for: mangu, mofongo, mondongo, sancocho, stewed meat, seafood and much more. Make sure you get your dish with a side of rice and beans, tostones, maduros, and a bottle of Presidente. You can go solo and sit on a stool at the counter or bring a group to the tables. Prices are affordable, with big portions of home style cooking. And best of all, they are open from 7:00am to 12:00am on most days.
Fantatic restaurant! Loved having their mofongo and their cafe con leche. You can tell this restaurant is very cozy and that the locals enjoy going here. The mofongo we got had chicken and plantain. It had tomato on top which was super savory and a delicious beef sauce on the side. Everything was so so savory and fresh. Loved the delicious flavors of the plantain!! They mash it well and it has a lot of garlic. Everything was delicious. Definitely would go back.
This place is good! I had the camarones al horno and finished every bit. The garlic sauce is seasoned soooo well, my only wish is that they put more sauce at the bottom. It was so addicting that I was scrubbing that pan clean with every last bite. The fried plaintains are also excellent, reminds me of how my grandma used to make them. And the chicharrones de pollo sin huesos were also good, maybe a little more seasoning but still excellent. The ladies who helped us out were so welcoming and kind. Would definitely come back to try other dishes!
