    La Salsas
    Michael J.

    Favorite place any day of the week..short and sweet review Grub : Camarones al mojo de Ajo stuffed in a burrito, with a side of refried beans, but it came with more onions and peppers than I could tolerate but very tasty with a great amount of shrimp. Refried beans are some of the best I've had, and the chips and salsa plus my 3‑item combo (chicken taco ,enchilada and chile relleno) were all tasty. Very few seeds in the relleno Last bit... Check out their weekday drink deal $6 margaritas from 3 pm to close, Monday through Friday. Sign at the front door on yellow poster board written in sharpie means this probably won't last long...

    The food was delicious. The service was excellent. The restaurant was pretty empty for a saturday night dinner. I went by myself for dinner, I was craving mexican food and didn't feel like cooking. I thought I would try this place, it's been on my list for a while. It's nicely decorated inside with a full bar, a couple of big screen televisions and plenty of seating. I went by myself and I felt totally comfortable. I was craving taquitos, so that's what I ordered with beans and rice and a bloody mary. First of all, the chips and salsa were delicious. I loved the salsa, it was homemade. It wasn't too spicy. It was just right, but they do have more spicy salsas which they offer you also. The taquitos were good too and made from scratch. I would have liked more guacamole on my plate. That was my only complaint and next time, I'll ask for that. I will definitely be going back to try some of their other dishes. They have a very large menu with lots of choices. The food was authentic and the drink was very good.

    Chicken Flautas Dinner
    Joe C.

    My wife and I came here for the first time tonight at we were very happy overall with the food, music/atmosphere and service. We started with the asada fries. This was awesome! Fries were seasoned, perfectly cooked (not raw or burnt), and each piece of meat was tender and juicy. Flavor overall was really good. I ordered the carnitas dinner and my wife had the chicken flautas dinner. My carnitas were cooked really well, crispy on the outside and soft and juicy on the inside. Only thing I would say is that they could have used a little more flavor. However, they were still good. The rice and beans were also good. Same suggestion for the rice, needs a little more flavor, but still good. My wife's flautas were really good. Chicken was full of flavor and not dried out like some restaurants. The chicken flautas were perfect. Lastly, our sever, Marisol, was really nice and checked on us frequently. No issues with the server whatsoever. She was great. Atmosphere was relaxing and they play classic rock. Stuff like Led Zeppelin, Beatles, Eagles, etc. loved it! We are excited to go back and try more dishes.

    Here we have to three cocktails, the two closest together are the tamarindo margaritas and the one further back is the mangonada slush

    This place had some bomb chicken fajitas! It was loaded with chicken and veggies and the rice and beans were killer. The staff was so nice and always made sure we had what we needed. It looks small on the outside but once you step in there's plenty of seating for couples or if you're like us and have at least 6 people they also accommodate to their best as well. I wish I had a picture of my food but hey, I dug in

    Wet burrito.  Requested easy on the rice and beans and the thing was still huge. Very good though.
    Mike H.

    For some odd reason I was craving a wet burrito for lunch. Searched Yelp for a wet burrito and this place was nearby. Had never eaten here do decided to give it a try. When entering I was shocked by how big the place actually is as its deceiving from the outside. A bar with quite a few seats and both low and high top tables. Service was prompt and efficient. I ordered an asada burrito and requested it to be wet, i also requested easy on the rice and beans. I dont know if the missed the easy on the rice and beans request because the burrito was huge. It was packed with asada that had good flavor and not one chewy piece in the entire burrito. I will be back to try more. I heard the waitress telling another customer their breakfast was amazing. I must say all of the food I saw coming to tables nearby also looked good..

    This is a cute & colorful restaurant, very family friendly. Classic rock plays in the background. They appear to be well loved by their regulars. My server was prompt & polite. They serve those very thin crispy homemade tortilla chips with a tasty roasted salsa, yum! I was just in for a quick snack and ordered a couple of crispy chicken tacos. My food came out quickly. They use those thin tortillas for this as well. I loved the crunch, but when the tortillas are that thin in a taco they disintegrate on the first bite so you just eat them with a fork. They were okay but not outstanding.

    Carne Asada Burrito (wet) & Enchilada Plate.
    Tyler S.

    Quick service, bold chips & salsa ignite the palate. The wet carne asada burrito and enchiladas plate deliver authentic satisfaction. Give this spot a try while in the area. Clean and calming atmosphere.

    Churros and ice cream
    Tina C.

    Went here for a birthday celebration with friends. Eight out of eight of us did not find the food or bar beverages worthy of a repeat. Reviews were good so I was excited to try this spot. The service was excellent, and churros were very good though. The food was overall salty and lacking of any other flavors. Almost all of us had half a plate of cold food and half a plate of plate so hot you could burn your fingertips, almost as if the food plate was sitting halfway under a heating lamp too long. We were there at suppertime, and there was only one family of four in the restaurant during our entire meal.

    Crispy chicken taco
    Monika L.

    Food is outstanding!!! Gaby, Betty, and Lupita are extremely nice. Wish we lived closer, because this is definitely a spot worth going to weekly... (three words: crispy chicken tacos)!

    Chips and salsa
    Araceli M.

    My husband and I came to try L&B Restaurant and absolutely loved it. From the moment we walked in, we were greeted with friendly smiles and made to feel welcome. We got to choose our seating, and our waitress Lisa was amazing, super sweet, knowledgeable, and incredibly efficient even while the restaurant was busy. The ambience truly makes this place special. Everyone treats you like family, using terms like mija and mijo, which made it feel just like home, comfortable, cozy, and heartwarming. The food was excellent. The coffee was good, the chips and salsas were delicious, and the guacamole paired perfectly with their salsa. We also ordered their famous menudo, and it was outstanding, full of flavor, very clean, not oily, and no strong pork taste. Adding chile de aceite and lemon made it even better. Portions were generous and prices very reasonable. We wanted to try more but got full. We are definitely coming back. 1,000,000/10--highly recommend!

The bright colorful colors and great music selection really make it joyous and fun dining experiences. Highly recommend.

The place is pretty easy to find on the corner of 18th & R. There isn't a lot of seating for more than parties of 4. We were a party of 6 and we all smooshed into a horseshoe booth inside. There are only 2 of these booths available and they indicated they are not able to place additional seating at the booths. I imagine you might be able to put tables together outside for a larger party. We were greeted warmly, and while I felt overwhelmed by the amazing choices, the gal taking our order put me at ease by walking me through the menu board. We got amazing carnitas quesadillas and tacos and another dish that came on top of a mound of delicious fries. It's the kind of place where you order, then sit down and they bring you the food. We were well taken care of. Our drinks were refilled and they brought us 'to go' boxes. Their portions are generous and just tasty. And the iced tea was perfect! We ordered a full order of chips and salsa. That is extra. It was $6 for a full order ($5 for half) and these chips were well worth the cost. We will be back!

Before my guest even arrived, I was told the kitchen was closing in 10 minutes, which made it impossible to plan or order properly for both of us. About 30 minutes after being seated, the waitress asked to close out my tab and mentioned they were closing an hour and a half early, something that should have been communicated when I walked in so I could have chosen to go elsewhere. To make things worse, about 10 minutes before closing, they turned the lights all the way up and shut the music off, which made it very clear we were being pushed out. No one came by to offer boxes for our food (I had more than half my meal left), and my guest didn't even get to finish her drink. We were essentially rushed out before the already early closing time, with no proper send-off. Overall, the experience felt very unprofessional and uncomfortable. Unfortunately, I won't be returning.
