AMAZING Does not even begin to express the flavor. As an east coast native who grew up around Caribbean foods I can say it's what it's supposed to be with an extra twist. A step up from traditional dishes. Including Trinidad dishes is rare. You will find it here in addition to Jamaican, Puerto Rican foods and drinks. The ambiance is clean, and comfortable with indoor and out door seating. Heat towers to keep you warm if you wish to be outside. Javier will also make your experience one to remember. Lastly please whatever you do leave room to order the key lime dessert. I CAN NOT BEGIN TO EXPLAIN HOW DELICIOUS IT IS. try it I dare you. We traveled 30 minutes to try this place and it served. Thank you for showing these west coaster how it's done. Photos to come....Curry coconut chicken empanadas, jerk chicken sandwich, tostones(unreal and unlike any other we have had..the taste), mango ice tea, Jamaican Forktail (loved this), and finally the key lime. Nom.nom. definitely will be back.

We had an incredible dining experience at Lita on a Tuesday night around 7pm. The atmosphere was lively yet relaxed, with a diverse mix of guests—from birthday celebrations and family dinners to friends catching up and what looked like a few first dates. It felt like the perfect spot for any occasion. The food was absolutely fabulous, and the service was top notch. Our server, Javier, made the night even better with his warm personality, great smile, and deep knowledge of the menu—from cocktails to dessert. He was attentive without being overbearing, and you could tell he genuinely enjoys what he does. Every dish we tried was exquisite, but the Yum Numb Salt & Pepper shrimp appetizer was a standout. Perfectly seasoned and cooked—definitely a must-try. The Jerk Salmon was just spicy enough for those that like heat but still want to taste the flavors. The Black Pepper Shrimp is a sure winner if you’re undecided. For dessert, the pineapple upside down cake with rum currant sauce was unforgettable. I’d come back just for that alone. As for drinks, everything we tasted was delicious, but my favorite was the Isle de Tigre—refreshing, balanced, and beautifully crafted. I highly recommend Lita for anyone looking for excellent food, stellar service, and a vibrant yet comfortable vibe. Can’t wait to go back!

My fiancé and I popped in here on a Friday night after seeing a movie and it was BUSY so we knew we were in for a treat. We were fortunate to slide in to a couple bar seats almost right away. Service is outstanding, food is excellent, and cocktails came quick for how involved they are. It was a vibe. At 10pm (closing) the place was jumpin. The atmosphere was just FUN. We’re stoked to come back for dinner and try more of the menu. I had the Isle de Tigre, which was great. My girl had a Jamaican Forktail mocktail. Her’s was on the sweet side, but hey, better sweet than diluted. 10/10 and we only hit the tip of the iceberg here.

The manager, Brian, and GM, Andres, were so incredibly accommodating my table especially with my allergies. I have tons of allergies and some places have to make a lot of adjustments, but they actually were able to accommodate all of my restrictions without even changing some of the main dishes. I had the soup and it was amazing. Highly recommend it. It was so authentic and delicious. I can't wait to come back!

I must admit, this place surprised me. Thought it would be more hype the quality, probably will have good cocktails & festive atmosphere. Lita delivered. Cocktails and atmosphere were great, though a bit loud (or am I just getting old?) The food was outstanding! Had the risotto with steak and the short rib. Portions were very generous and flavor and quality was top notch. Definitely will be back!
