La Cita, Downtown La

What people say, in short
La Cita draws repeated downtown recommendations, with one patron particularly liking the rear outdoor bar and another enjoying a visit before the room shifted toward dancing. It also appears in day-drinking and evening itineraries. Price is the main dissent: a visitor felt a canned beer was poor value, so the dive-bar label should not be read as a promise of especially cheap drinks.
