This is a very sad story of a place that used to be amazing. My husband and I have frequented this place over the years. They always had the best drinks (pink mojito was my favorite) and their desserts. The food was great too. We went there tonight. 6pm on a Saturday night and I am sorry to say the mojito they served in a plastic bag that took a minute to pry open tasted like a stick of spearmint gum. The food was ok but nothing to write home about. Oh, did I mention it was served with plastic silverware in a to-go container. The appetizer (queso) wasn’t brought until our meals were. When I tried to tell the old lady that runs the place how sad I was she copped an attitude and told me to get out. Thank you ma’am for the hospitality. My husband and I were hoping for a relaxing dinner but ended up getting asked to leave in a very disrespectful manner. I assure you we will not be returning.

Lista’s has a good variety of Southwestern food. They have a relaxed atmosphere. We ordered the chicken nachos, chicken quesadillas, and a combo that included an enchilada, burrito, and taco. I felt like I could not tell the difference between the enchilada and the burrito.

Great food! This is a family favorite, we love to come here. Portions are large and food is reasonably priced. Plus you get chips and salsa before your meal! Get a margarita too! The only downfall is the owners don’t seem to like young people. There has been multiple occasions where we walk in (all in our 20s) and they will completely ignore us and say hello to the older folks behind us. I have had to actively try and grab someone’s attention to be helped while they ignore me and help someone that has come in after me. It’s a shame because they really do have good food.

Pricey. But a more elegant experience. Good food. Nice server. I would come back. Things are a bit spicy for people who don’t want everything spicy. Great house margaritas. So they are 4 stars. Worth a trip. Tip: come late on a Friday the staff is more casual but the food is still great.

We have been to Listas, on numerous occasions. Tonight was the last night of restaurant week, so after checking the specials (three courses) we decided to go back. It was a great choice! The guys both got the flatiron steak. The gravy is delicious. My friend and i both ordered the encrusted salmon. It was amazing! The food is not only delicious, but all the wait staff and owners are welcoming. We also love the cozy, and warm atmosphere. Give it a try! You will love it!!

This is an excellent family-owned restaurant. They are creative with their specialty foods and have a phenomenal atmosphere. The food is great, and there’s something for everyone (steak, Mexican, crab, etc). All for a fair price.
My tip: Bring a hearty appetite and be sure to try the bread pudding before you leave.

1st visit. Greeted with a friendly smile and was seated quickly. Comfortable decor and atmosphere. Prices reasonable and comparable with other restaurants in the area. Food came hot and fresh and in a timely manner. Good menu with Mexican/Southwestern choices. I got firecracker shrimp as my appetizer. Very tasty and perfect portion size for one. I got a crab cake, rice, and asparagus. Good size crab cake. No shells and very little filler. Rice tasty and cooked nicely. The asparagus we’re grilled to perfection. Thanks

We had excellent service when we ate at Lisa’s and my burrito was very good and extremely filling. My wife had some food that way okay, but we have had better (I think it was enchiladas.) We liked the sangria a lot, but the margaritas left something to be desired though. I would definitely eat here again.

Always good food and excellent service. We love this place. I love spicy food so I’m good with anything on the menu. If you aren’t as adventurous, you should ask if the dishes are spicy. Only down side for me is the lack of draft beer. They do have plenty of bottle beer choices and lots of other drinks to choose from .

At one time, this place was really good. We ate there on a Friday night around 6. There weren’t many people there, but I figured we were early.
My wife got the special. Chicken mole. It tasted like it came from an Indian restaurant. I got something that was supposed to be slow roasted pork. Tender but no real flavor.
I am used to a server telling me that the plate is hot, but these things must have been stored in the oven. They stayed screaming hot through the entire meal.
The margaritas tasted more like mix than tequila.
