As always, the food was amazing. I went there with what I thought was my first choice, but the specials were too difficult to pass up. Even without the specials, there are so many great options in the standard menu.

La Cita is fantastic! It's small, but the food is so interesting. You'll find more traditional fare as well as eclectic plates. We stuck with the specials board and everything was fantastic. My dish was a roasted poblano stuffed with meats and fruits like apple, pears, and pomegranate - fall flavors in July, but I'm not mad about it. Portions are perfectly sized, not too big, not too small. Servers were on top of everything. It can get noisy because it's such a small space, but it's tolerable. Be patient, give the kitchen time to build your dish and I promise you, you won't be disappointed!
