Lb Cantina

Update Dec 12 2023. Still top-notch. My wife had the beef taquitos and I had the steak fajitas. Out of this world and so authentic. Outstanding service. Pics attached. UPDATE APRIL 2023. Took visiting family to lunch. As always, outstanding service. Great prices. Great food. I had the lunch combo #1 cheese enchilada with a soft shell beef taco. My wife had a half dozen mini Chimis with beef. Our son had the stuffed Chili Relleno. Our granddaughter had a chicken quesadilla. UPDATE DEC 22 2022. Back for lunch. 1:30 P.M. and this place is hoping. Immediate seating. Our choice to sit indoors or on the rear patio. Quick, friendly service. Our server didn't write down our order - he memorized it. Cool. My wife had the half-dozen beef Mini Chimis and I had beef enchiladas with a side of beans and rice. The Mini Chimis are a great value but the half dozen small portion is still too much to eat at one sitting so half came home with us. Another great experience at good prices. What a find. My wife and I have been visiting/shopping in tiny, quaint Florence since we bought our winter home 20 miles away 6 years ago. We have found our go-to Mexican food restaurant but this trip we met a friend who lives in Florence who suggested LB Cantina. Oh my. We arrived at 11:30 before things got busy. Unfortunately, we chatted way too long before ordering and by the time we did order, the place had filled up, so it took a while for our orders to be prepared. But that's the best part - your food is prepared plate-by-plate. No mass production going on here, save for maybe items like rice and beans. The wait was perfectly acceptable - I mean, we were in vintage Florence - and the food was UNPARALLELED! I had Combination #1 - a cheese enchilada with a pulled beef soft taco on the side. You'll be asked if you want your taco shell hard, soft or fried. The beef was outstanding. What a bite. My main entree, the cheese enchilada was special. The bottom was crisped. The filling was very flavorful. My wife's chicken quesadilla was STUFFED with chunks of moist well-seasoned chicken. The pic attached shows that. Our server was simply outstanding. Friendly, fun to be around and very attentive. She kept us posted on the status of our order after we placed it. Came by to refill drinks regularly. The restaurant has TWO outside seating areas - courtyards (see my pics) - one area on the side and the other in the rear - both fenced. Quaint. If you're in town, stop in.

Amazing chili relleno!!!! Maybe the best I've ever had. We sat in a "breeze way" between the main dining room and the patio, wasn't the best location or atmosphere. Asked for outside seating, but even though there were open tables, they sat us inside. Waiter seemed to forget where we were. Only visited the table twice. Other than that, food was great, and prices were fair.

Went to LB Cantina for dinner with family visiting from out of town. It was great. The food is great, the service is great, and it is attentive without being overbearing. The atmosphere is good. We had different dinners and everyone was very happy with the food. Drinks are good and well made. Prices are very reasonable. I'll be going back for sure. I finally found a Mexican restaurant that I am very happy with.

We were exhausted after helping a friend do repairs to a home he had just sold. We came in at 7:15pm, hoping they would be forgiving since they close at 8. We received a cheerful hello and a table with menus quickly. Drinks, chips and salsa followed and were delicious. Our food arrived quickly, was exactly as we ordered and was absolutely wonderful. The service was excellent our waitress was friendly and more than happy to serve us even at this late hour. I would highly recommend this place. Everything about it was five stars!

Colorful, shaded outdoor patio is our favorite spot in Florence. Service is friendly & fast. Food is plentiful and delicious. Fantastic quesadillas, and the prickly pear margarita - yum! Make a day of it by heading up the street to Happy Adobe for some fun Mexican & southwest crafts, artwork, & garden decor.
