Having recently moved to Anne Arundel County from the DC area, I was sure I'd find great local specialties, but unsure I'd find great ethnic food. A visit to Lista's - followed by many more - convinced me I was wrong. Lista's has authentic and freshly-prepared food, with true Tex-Mex spice. The margaritas are far too good (luckily they come in 3 sizes - look out for the largest size!) and the staff will treat you like a regular from your very first visit. The atmosphere is funky Southwest, but causal. They do take reservations and fill up fast, so it's always better to call ahead.
