We decidedly to try LaRista on a Friday night as it was in our neighborhood. Never been there before, but got there at around 6:15pm and the place was packed! Didn't expect that because of the odd location (it's in a residential area next to a bunch of dental offices). We were seated about 15 min later, and it was well worth the wait. They brought out chips with a trio of fresh salsas that were delicious. Then we ordered the chilies relenios with beef. Mine came with black beans and a vegetable medley, my husband's came with rice and the same medley. Our meals tasted very homemade, like your granny was cooking the meal just for you! It was amazing! I will definitely be back to sample more from the menu! Thank you LaRistra for cooking amazing, authentic Mexican food.
