LB Cantina

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.

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

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.

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.

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

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!

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.

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.

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....
