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.
I have eaten here and thoroughly enjoyed it. I had a steak dinner. The steak was tender, juicy and seasoned to perfection. The veggies were crisp and delicious. I will definitely come back for more.
My family and I have been eating at Lista’s regularly for many years and love both the food and the wonderful staff, who have always made us feel like part of the Lista’s family. The restaurant has, of course, had to make many changes during the ongoing pandemic to protect patrons and staff. We miss the way things used to be the same way we miss how much easier everything used to be, but we have continued to enjoy our delicious food and drinks and fully support the practical decisions the restaurant owners have made regarding packaging and food service. It’s been really disturbing to see negative reviews by people who are abusive to staff because they feel entitled to a pre-pandemic experience. Life is harder than usual right now and it can be disheartening, but going after folx that graciously provide yummy food and cheer isn’t working to improve our collective situation. If you can’t treat people in the service industry with respect, stay home. Thank you so much to Lista’s for your continued awesomeness through this difficult time! We love you <3
Lori Lane and others, are you crazy? I can say I disagree and you did not really share the entire story, did you? Lista's is the best place going in Pasadena and it is amazing how they have pivoted in order to remain in business and still open. So they have had to change their business model and you now get takeout containers and plastic silverware, so what! Are you aware they are no longer a full service restaurant? Are you willing to stay and wash dishes for them? Have you seen how many businesses have not made it in this 'new world' we all live in now? And Lista's is still going strong? Sure some things have changed and I am sure constructive feedback is welcome. If they asked you to leave I am sure they had good reason (and they did). It's a shame businesses these days have to put up with miserable customers that just don't get it with how supply chains and staff have diminished. If you are someone who is out to just complain, stay home. Lista's, things have changed, thank you for your effort and you rock!
