    Now a days its hard to rate a place on value. Everything’s expensive. I judge a place on two things. LITA got both down. Our food came out HOT and the food had FLAVOR. Thumbs Up!

    Totally loved the food and service. The doubles and oxtail tacos were mouth watering and perfect for lunch. Will be back for dinner 😊

    Today, I had an exceptional dining experience at Lita. Although I had visited the restaurant previously, I made a reservation through OpenTable, which was fortunate because the establishment was made aware of my birthday. The staff demonstrated exceptional kindness and went above and beyond to celebrate the occasion. From the moment we entered the establishment, we felt like valued guests. The food was exceptional, and the ambiance was chill and relaxed, which contributed to a memorable experience. We extend our sincere gratitude to the staff for making my birthday truly special.

    We shared several dishes and all were amazing. The cocktails were also top notch. Our server was really great and made appropriate suggestions; he was also attentive but not overly so. I love the vibe at Lita, but perhaps it's a little 'tight' between tables, etc.. Everything was so great so I won't let the crowdedness stop me from returning.

    The staff, atmosphere, and food were all great! The location is good and there's a public parking garage nearby as well as metered street parking.

    I was celebrating my wife’s birthday and once we arrived I told the hostess and the manager standing by door that is my wife’s birthday and if they an brung a dessert to the table. We sat at 7:30 , we were asked to leave at 9:00 because they had other reservation and they never acknowledged the birthday. Very bad.

    Our server was wonderful! Unfortunately, we did not find the food to be worth the value at all, and it gave a couple of us stomach aches. The ceviche trio was decent and the yuca chips were tasty. The main dishes were very under-seasoned. We were really looking forward to dessert but decided to skip it since the mains were underwhelming.

    I ordered the shrimp dinner and it was so sweet that I could barely eat it. I should have sent it back.
