LaCita has flavorful Mexican food, the salsa, chips and guac were fantastic. The elote is worth coming back for and the tacos were great as well. A little pricy, but worth it.

Went back a second time on July 1st 2022, still good food but service and cleanleness needs improvement. Too many flies. Great, little spot. I only gave 4 stars because I didn’t like the taste of the shrimp, other than my personal preference on the shrimp dish… everything else was soooooo delicious with great staff. Margarita was a wonderful host and explained all of the dishes. Please, don’t skip dessert… Trust me you won’t regret it

The food here at La Cita is excellent ! I came for lunch and was pleasantly surprised the lunch specials for 12 bucks were spot on! 2 tacos your choice of soup salad or rice and black beans, I wasn’t in the mood for soup but the mrs. Ordered it anyway both were delicious ! She had the fish tacos. I had the steak ones each were plump with meat and succulent flavors from the fresh lime and cilantro. The rice Horchata was so refreshing, I saw one at another table and I just had to have one. The tortilla chips and black bean with cheese on top was an added bonus. This place is great. Byob and bring your own tequila. They have a lime margarita mix you can buy for the table if you want to mix yours or

Complete hole in the wall in the best way possible! Water served in repurposed tequila bottles, since it’s BYOB. I am so glad we saw a previous review that mentioned they serve virgin margaritas and you can bring your own tequila.

It’s a very cute and cozy place to eat, I enjoyed the Mexican music as well. The food was delicious we had the horchata drink which is a bit addicting. The shrimp ceviche, maduros con queso y crema. Elote preparado. Tacos pan fried mahi-mahi and tacos Birria. Everything was great including our service thankfully I think we were there early. A definite place to come back and enjoy. Gracias!!!

My FAVORITE Mexican restaurant. All the food has been delicious consistently. I love the steak burrito and the Shrimp Burrito -very filling. The Birria Tacos are delicious. We always throw in the Elote or plantains. The rice pairs well with the Birria Tacos. I’ve tried so many other things from the menu and they were all delicious! Everything tastes like it was made with love ❤️

Absolutely fantastic. Food is great. 100% fresh and cooked to order. BYOB. Great teas and sodas. Small, the way it should be for real Mexican food. Home made tortilla, crispy shells for tacos are all fresh made. Great menu choices and some very great staff. Definitely a new spot for me. Not many places around like this one. Great food!!
