It's been a while since my last review. We only get over here a few times a year and it's still my favorite. We stopped in for Taco Tuesday - they are currently offering $3 tacos. I had ground beef, and the Hubbs opted for the shredded beef. They also offer individual squares of the Pollo Fundido aka carte, so I opted for one. Paired with margaritas (house for me, chamoy mango for the Hubbs), it was just right. Shout out to Manny who always takes good care of us! Another delightful meal! read more

LB Cantina - Pollo Fundido - Mexican Near Me - Florence, Arizona

First time at LB Cantina. Cozy house converted into a restaurant about 40 years ago. They have a covered patio and street parking. Thursday evening and place is crowded with lots of local folks. Place is clearly a local favorite. Server was helpful and decided to order the pollo fundido. It is like a chimichanga, except the pieces are cut and topped a spicy jalapeno cream cheese sauce. I opted for two pieces with rice and beans. Salsa and complimentary chips were tasty. Went through those in about 20 minutes. Hmm, where is the food? Thinking, hey they are busy and maybe they are cooking this from scratch. Food shows up. The pollo fundido was just as described. The spicy cream cheese sauce was great. Only finished one, the other hopefully for lunch. Left most of the rice and beans. Overall a good choice for dinner. Will skip the rice and beans. Front end service for me was good. They add a 3.5 percent surcharge if using a credit card. Couple of other restaurants still on my list when visiting Florence. read more

We've been going here since we were kids, and for the last 4 years, with our 6 lb service animal pup. The last time we were here, a woman we've never seen before was working and threw us out after we were already seated by the hostess and served our chips & dip. Now there are many ways to throw regular customers out of a restaurant. None of them are appropriate, but the manner in which this rabid Wolverine of a woman spoke to us was INSANE, rude and disrespectful. We were sitting alone outside, no other customers in the restaurant and she had the nerve to say the other customers are allergic to our hypoallergenic pup. Again, INSANE. I think the fact that we tolerated their mediocre food all these years and were regular customers should have bought us some respect, but apparently not at L&B. Very disappointing. read more

went there on a Tuesday fot the taco special. lots of shredded beef in the tace. Also had a cheese crisp which is hard to screw up and they didn't. Service a litle slow but I am retired and never in a hurry, Must try a margarita on my next visiy, read more

Met with some old friends for lunch. They came up from Tucson, I came down from Queen Creek. Parking on the street, not the greatest. This place has been around a long time, and I like the comfortable, vintage aura. Ordered the chili relleno and enchilada combo. Decent cheese enchilada, very good relleno. Beans mediocre at best, didn't have a freshly made flavor, rather dry. Rice not good at all. Dry, crusty. I prefer fluffy! Service was okay. They were kind enough to allow us to sit and talk for hours, and I appreciate that. Food was okay, average. Still a good meeting spot. read more

We ordered a pitcher of margaritas. The glasses and the pitcher were loaded with ice so ultimately we had water. The food was ok but the margaritas not so much!! Don't please water down the drinks. Won't order a pitcher again. read more

Best Mexican food and Margarita's in the town of Florence, AZ ..............

I've eaten at LB's probably 10 times over the past decade, and they are consistently busy, locally-oriented, and the service is usually pretty good. However, the food is oriented toward the snowbird crowd, and the spice and flavor level is pretty low compared to many places. Why do we go back? There's few options in Florence. read more

Very attentive waiter. Food was great and incredibly quick service. Live music at times, nice interior and outdoor seating

We came here on a whim and were a bit disappointed. The atmosphere on the patio is great and the service is excellent and that's about where the awesomeness ends. The food is substandard, tacos are certainly not authentic or traditional and the beans and rice taste like they are just warmed up. Rice flavor was like it came straight out of a premixed bag and the beans were like Rosarita. While Taco Tuesday offers a pitcher of margaritas and two tacos with rice and beans for two, it isn't great. read more

Amazing food! Service was a little slow, but was worth it. Employees beyond kind. The music was enjoyable and the paintings on the wall were beautiful. Laughs can be heard from a mile down the block! Amazing experience, 10/10. They give large portions of food. If you are ever in Florence, check out LB Cantina! read more

Looooove LB Cantina. I must admit, things were looking a little bleak late Saturday afternoon on the food front. Had a long drive across southern AZ and pulled-up in Florence expecting some sort of pulse. Found it at the LB Cantina. Lovely service from start to finish. Everybody on the back patio having a great time, sharing a happy, colorful hour with birds in the trees and tasty food in our bellies. I had the starter platter and some delicious dessert I can't even remember the name of. What I can tell you is that I couldn't finish everything and virtually rolled ourselves back to the car for the journey back to the big smoke. If I'm ever in Florence again, I'm stopping in. A great find on an epic road trip. read more

Drove 90 miles to eat in Globe but found Guayo's El Rey closed for vacation. Went on to Florence and tried LB Cantina. Prices were almost double what you'd pay for much better food in Globe. Two item combinations were in the $16-$23 range. Plus drink. Steep for a lunch. They did offer two lunch specials. Pork chops (?) or a bean burro. I had the $8 burro special, enchilada style, which came with rice. I added a ground beef taco ($5.50). So $13.50 plus $3.50 for drink. A $17 lunch. Taco was decent. Rice just so-so and bean burro was just OK. My wife got a plain bean and cheese burro without sauce and said the flour tortilla was dry. Place was not busy, but servers were yakking, so service was a bit slow. Overall it was disappointing. Especially when compared to Guayo's. LB's suffers by comparison to almost all Globe Mexican restaurants. read more

Food - Good Service- we made reservations for, and had a party of 10, for prime rib night out on the patio. We arrived early to arrange all of the seating for a group of 10. After about 10 minutes, we were seated with only nine chairs at the table. We told the hostess we needed another chair. After repeated request she told us an extra chair was not available, and the person would have to stand for his dinner. Looking around us, there was a table of eight people with 2 extra chairs that were not being used. We told her there was 2 extra chairs there, and the hostess suggested that they reserve 10 chairs, and that belong to their table. Of course, I am thinking, "are you serious?" Additionally, looking around the patio there were numerous tables with an extra chair or 2 at their tables. The hostess continually said, no, there are no extra chairs, your 10th person will have to stand for dinner. The lead singer of the band right next to our table seen the commotion, came over and gave his personal chair to our 10th person. Ambiance - inside the restaurant, they ambience is pathetic at best. Out on the patio, the ambience is good with older chairs and tables for the clients. A bit rustic on the patio, but pleasant. When we receive the bill, they put an automatic 20% gratuity on because of the party size, at 20%, and they added a liquor tax on top of all taxes in addition. We have supported the L B Cantina, and the owner Joe for years. I think we're finished with him though. read more

Tacos are great!! Shredded beef extra crispy ! Service is great ! Tacos Tuesdays are my fave!! Chips and salsa is best, guacamole is good !!

First off, let me say the food was very good. We came here at the recommendation of a friend. We got seated quickly, and our drink order was taken. Several other parties came in after us and had their food orders taken while we still sat. Finally, we called one of the wait staff over and asked if we could order. He went and got our waitress, who came over with an attitude as if we were bothering her. No apology for making us wait either. But as I said at the beginning, the food was quite good, just the poor service being the reason for 3 stars. Will we be back? Maybe, but who knows. read more

We stopped here last weekend and were pleasantly surprised. We were able to sit outside but it was a bit breezy. The taco salad with beef was excellent. The burrito green chili cheese as phenomenal The daily special of the prime rib was okay The fajitas were great The margaritas were excellent We will stop in again next time we are in Florence. read more

The food here is amazing, but don't be in a hurry! It was a fun outdoor dining experience, but it took forever to place order, then they brought out 2 at a time for our large table. One order was forgotten completely. They quickly made it though. The food is 4-5 stars yummy and descent price. The ambiance 3-4 star and service 3. server was very nice, and maybe he was new so we would go back without a time frame.... read more

The reviews from coworkers were good, so I thought I'd give this place a try. Waiting 10 minutes without any type of greeting, was strike #1! I figured when a take out order was brought out for pick up that I would at the very least be greeted. Nope! Maybe they're just too busy to realize that an elite Yelper was in their presence??? Strike #2! Last chance was given to the 5 or so employees running around, but no greeting at ALL! Strike #3! The place looked like a nice place to hang out, eat, and break bread or gas, but I'll never know. Bad service supersedes everything else. read more

After finding our regular Florence eatery was closed we decided to try out LB Cantina. As soon as we entered it smelled like grease! That should have been our cue to turn around and hightail it out of there. But we decided to give the place a fair chance. Our poor waiter was harried, working the floor alone and literally running from table to table and to the kitchen. Very nice young guy, trying his best. My friend ordered a quesadilla special they were offering and it was so saturated with grease it was inedible. Another ordered a burrito with chicken. She was also unable to eat her meal. The chicken was like rubber and it was filled with basically raw peppers and onions. Not like any burrito I've ever seen. I tried the chicken fundido, the outside was very over cooked, crispy and dark brown. The chicken inside was not bad. As Mexican restaurants go, this was about the worst I've ever been to. Nothing would make me give them a second chance. Also, I found out the grumpy old man at the door is the owner. No wonder he can't find more help or someone in the kitchen who actually knows how to cook! Do yourself a favor and don't bother spending your hard earned money at this place! read more

Love the food here. Dining in is best. Salsa is very good. Recommend with no reservations.

The beef tacos a plate is 7.50$ includes 2 tacos, rice and beans. Very good. Cheese enchiladas. We recommend adding fresh onions. Yum. Margaritas are $7.50. Not bad. Not most Amazing margaritas we've had. Service was really slow. I mean slow. Food is a 5 star to me. It was good. 3 star is for service. read more

We passed through Florence and stopped here because of the reviews. I don't know what all of the hype was about. The salsa was not great. I prefer a chunky salsa and this was more like el pato. We ordered a cheese crisp for the table that was very hard and not very good. The hubby and I shared a beef chimi. It was ok but the fried part tasted kind of wired. Like the frying oil was old or something. The beans were pretty good. My kids enjoyed their burritos. read more

I really love this place and love their food a lot. They have something for everyone. They have deals on certain days and a live band that they have to, on certain nights!!!! read more

Yummy and fabulous service! We will be back. Taco salad was great and the chili rellanos are to die for.

Where do I begin? I eat here multiple times per week! I believe I've tried most everything on the menu but my favorites are the Friday special of calabicitas. All if the standard items are great, tacos, fajitas, enchiladas and tamales. The pork green chili burrito should not be missed! They have wonderful patio seating when the weather is good with a delightful fountain and a small stage for live music (also in the good weather season) The service is fantastic!! read more

Good traditional Mexican cuisine. Good service. A busy place. Popular with the locals and snow birds alike

We found the service, food and Ambiance to be very good. The waitresses were prompt and pleasant.

The happiest, friendliest, most helpful staff of anywhere ever. Those ladies truly love being at work and it shows. That alone gets them five stars! The food in this little place was a four point five on my vast Mexican restaurant knowledge. My burrito was giant and complete with a homemade tortilla. The starter chips were warmed and salsa was full of flavor. Plenty of choices, great prices and did I mention that they are full of happy?!? Noticing that I had eaten all of my tortilla but was taking the filling home they insisted on sending extra tortillas home with me. read more

Food is the best around and the servers are always great. Love the old fashioned feel.

This is not a good review, it's honest but not good. Go elsewhere. Simply, don't waste your time. The food is bland, the help is terrible. I don't need to say anything else, except never again. Yes, it was that bad. read more

They are slow but Maybe because of the car show The food had no seasoning But maybe that's the way they do it here They over cooked my friends steak in the salad Good Margaritas Clean place Friendly and waitress read more

Seems like this place accommodates bigger groups 5 people or more) pretty well, and nice outdoor seating options. Food wise i was hoping for more flavor. Shredded beef chimi w enchilada sauce had more taste of tortilla than flavored meat. Beans were ok...kids food prices and options are good. Cheese crisp left a lot to be desired as well (kinda burnt, didnt come out before food, etc). Overall i think the cost was good though. read more

Nice place to eat. Small town feel in a small town. Supporting local business. I like to eat local when I go out of town. Modest selection on the menu. Not too much but enough. Only hitch was it seemed the wait staff was a little overwhelmed and it took about 10 minutes to be greeted by our server. Very kind and apologetic, though. Food was pretty good, but some of the dishes were a little more pricy than that compared to what I am used for the same dish at home. Overall: good visit. Good food. read more
