This place is amazing! At a location I wouldn't really think of going. But this place is definitely worth coming back to even without Groupon. My friend and I loved every dish we had. The bacon wrapped chili was actually stuffed with 2shrimp as well! Everything was great! From the staff, the service, and the atmosphere, but the food speaks for itself. Amazing! Can't wait to go back and try more. It does cost a little more than those chain 'bertos' places. But you have to pay a few extra dollars for delicious food. Don't be afraid to just close you eyes and pick something in the menu. Next time I will try and ask to have my seafood deveined. Their salsa also amazed me. Tasted homemade and authentic. Met the owner during dinner and made our experience even better! A great guy! Very attentive and friendly staff!

It was great to finally get Sonoran Mexican food that showcased Mexican flavors instead of Americanized, cheese-drowned versions of Mexican food. The Patron margaritas are the real deal and a steal at only $9 as the glasses are enormous. The Chili Colorado offered lots of meat and a good red chili sauce. The Pablano Relleno was lightly battered and stuffed with flavorful shredded chicken with a light cheese sauce floating in a plate of red chili sauce, it was the right touch of cheese. One of the best parts of the meal was the beans. They are authentic as you get the pork flavor you are supposed to get from beans when they are done right and made with ham hocks or other pork parts! I didn't ask how the beans were prepared but they taste like they were made with an old school recipe. We liked the fried ice cream with the cinnamon shell over the sopapillas as they were a little to doughy. This and the fundillo are the only reasons I am going with 4 instead of 5 stars. The cheese fundillo was more of a thin Monterrey cheese than the traditional thick Mexican cheese, however, the chorizo on top was excellent. It wasn't that it was bad it just wasn't what we were looking for in a fundillo. We are hard to please when it comes to authentic Mexican food and this will be our new go to place as it is unbelievably hard to find good Mexican food in Phoenix/Tempe and this was worth the drive. We can't wait to go back to try the seafood and grilled carne platters.

I wan't sure about this place when we first arrived as it is just off the freeway and shares a parking lot with a Mexican auto / tire shop. However, when you step inside, this little gem looks like it belongs in Old Town Scottsdale. I made a mistake and order my old standby, shredded beef tacos. Don't get me wrong, they were okay, but nothing like my GF's order. She order the steak fajitas which were amazing! In fact, these are by far the best fajitas either one of us has ever experienced. They came with all the usual suspects, however they are of the highest quality. I want to go back and try more items on the menu, but I am definetly ordering the steak fajitas next time!!! If you like fajitas, you must try Rita's!

My friend and I are trying new restaurants every Saturday. Today we went to Rita 's. The waitress Eva was totally awesome and very attentive to our table. Many others came by to make sure we had all we needed. The food was great and I would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks again Eva for the best service see you again definitely!!

No thank you for responding. I know you might have great tasting food but unfortunately that wasn't the case when I was there. It was a little to salty and about the staff I would of appreciated if they came back asking if everything was ok, but they didn't. I was actually excited to go there due to the some good reviews on your restaurant but I wished it was a little more pleasant and employees more excited to work there. I would of asked for something else but due to the lack in timing of the waitress I was to hungry to even wait. Hopefully you continue making changes and it all works out.

We had the appetizer the bacon wrapped child's which were pretty good. We then split the carne asada plate which was plenty of food for the two of us. The service was good, the salsa was good and we will come back for lunch.

We ordered margaritas, fresh guacamole, abondigas soup, salad, fajitas, and fried ice cream. Everything was so delicious and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. The waitress was very nice and did a great job. I will definitely come back when I'm back in the Phoenix area.

So we were on yet another hunt for some fabulous Mexican food and Found it! chips and salsa were fresh, the frozen mags were good. I had the steak fajitas and wow I was in heaven! The veggies were cooked and seasoned to perfection and the steak was mouth watering and tortillas hot and fresh. And the serving size is huge! Yum I will be back!

Extremely delish authentic Mexican food. Saturday evening around 5ish and wasn't that busy. When we got there waited just a tad to be seated but then were taken care of right away. Waitress was very nice and explained anything we didn't quite understand. Overall great food and experience

Sorry yelpers this was awful! Cheese crisp was made with an old tortilla. Like eating thick paper. Sick. Cheese was barely melted. We ordered a three combo plate 2 tacos and a cheese enchilada. Plate was not even hot. Cheese not melted in the enchilada and the tacos were on these weird shells. So disappointing and a whopping 35$ with tip. We were expecting 5 star food from all the reviews......only thing we can imagine is they have never had really good authentic Mexican food. Big big let down. Never again. Sick sick sick.

Sadly, I have to update my review from 5 stars to 2 stars. Margaritas were awful, service was awful, server did not know happy hour drink special and we had to point on the billboard the prices, instead of checking, she immediately informed that alcohol drinks were not o happy hour. She cleared chips and salsa without asking us if we were done. Horrible experience compared to previous visits. We will try one more time as this may have just been a fluke. Fingers crossed...

I relied on the Yelp reviews to find a good Mexican restaurant in a certain vicinity, and Rita's Mexican Food was the choice. Seeing they take reservations, I made one since it was a Saturday night, and we were planning on dining at 6:30. I was surprised to see the place empty, except for a couple tables, and wondered if Yelp had let me down. Nope! It started with the friendly wait staff. She was very nice and checked with us often, but not too often, to make sure we were ok. The Sangria and strawberry margarita were very good. My Parrillada Del Rancho dinner included a thin slice of steak, chicken, and pork chop. All 3 meats were a slightly overdone, maybe from the grill or the "cooker" it was presented on at the table. But tasty, none the less. The other 3 meals were said to be very good, too. Oh, and the guacamole was freshly made at the table, and also very good. 4 dinners, 2 alcohol drinks, guacamole appetizer, and a a fried ice cream came to $132.

The food was just alright. Really great happy hour specials for drinks. ****BEWARE**** for our party of 4 (not 8 or 10) they added automatic gratuity. The fast and not thorough explanation given to my boyfriend was "yeah..we already add on gratuity". Ok...where is that posted? Is that legal? Gratuity is an incentive. Don't get me wrong, I tip, but I don't like being forced into something. I actually tip more than their forced tip charge. Just doesn't sit right with me when that isn't made clear. ****Seems deceitful.****

A friend told me this place was a place to get great Mexican food. We got lunch from there today. Prices were high. We spent over $50 for lunch for three people. For that price you think the food would be unbelievable, well it wasn't. It was more like tasteless and less than remarkable. Definitely will not be eating there again or recommending them to anyone. Such a disappointment.

Good salsa, huge salads, friendly service. I always go there for dinner but I'm hoping to get in to try their chilaquiles for breakfast.

Whenever we're in the area (which is infrequently), we come to Rita's. The chips and salsa are great - though a little too spicy for my gringo husband. I have enjoyed both entrees I've purchased (the carne adobada and the combo with the beef tamale, shrimp taco and chicken enchilada). My husband got a little more adventurous (and expensive) and got the Azteca and didn't care for it. Also have to disagree with other Yelpers on the Toritos. They aren't extremely tasty with the exception of the sauce - and we took the extra sauce home because there was way too much of it and we used it as steak sauce. I wish they would bottle it and sell it separately! Margaritas are also tasty, but not extremely strong. Go and support your local AZ businesspeople. To me, it's better than Valle Luna and many other self-proclaimed "authentic" joints.

Found by chance, would definitely go back. I had the Chilaquilas con huevos abd they were tasty and the beans were even better

Went to ths place after getting a groupon and looked like a good deal . Atmosphere was nice, located in a rundown area. Food was ok, but there popular steak meat platter is full of dried out, overcooked steak, salsa was good and chips were average. A big turnoff for me was the waiter trying to upsell everything and trying to get us to buy the most expensive dish. To me it felt like a used car salesmen but it came across fake rather then friendly. My biggest complaint is we had a groupon for $30 and he would only let us use 27 of it! The total bill was 33.96 , but he didn't like us using groupon so made up An excuse for not taking it all. Overall, fair food, poor service, much better options out there.

Boy am I happy I tried this place. Let's go chronologically. Love the surroundings, definitely has a cozy feel inside. The service was great, absolutely loved our waitress. The margaritas(one house, one frozen sunset) were awesome. I almost never drink them or like them, but I managed to enjoy this one, that says something. The salsa was delicious with a great kick to it. I had the adobada while my buddy had the tampiquena. Both dishes were fantastic, the rice and beans were phenomenal. Loved every bit of it. Nothing was too greasy, everything very nice and hot and came out quick. For dessert we had flan and sopapillas, both some of the best I've ever had. I can't recommend this place enough. GO GO GO.

Taylor Momo J.
First visit ever, due to a Groupon deal. Was not disappointed. Great food, love the ambiance, great service by the waitresses. They checked back often, and if I wanted more chips and salsa. I had shrimp ceviche, seven seas soup, and heuvos con chorizo. It was all delicious! Prices were reasonable and serving sizes generous. Wooden booths, wooden tables and chairs, Spanish music, quick service, sufficient parking. Coming off the I-10, you have to go north then find a turn around point. The atmosphere was nice. Some old objects on walls for ambiance. Plenty of seating. No wait on Saturday. It looks deceiving on the outside, I wasn't sure they were open, but I was there around 6pm. I'll be returning for sure. Thanks for a great first experience everyone there!

We found Rita's via yelp while trying to meet friends passing through Phoenix heading West on I-10 from I-17. We are from Ahwatukee and it was 100% worth the drive! The staff was wonderful, polite and efficient. The food was amazing! So much flavor and the portions were just right. We plan to visit Rita's again, despite the drive we will find time to go.

First time I had their food and it was phenomenal! I had family come down here from Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico and they were all tired of the same restaurant we always went to before and my uncle said you know what let's try somewhere different. So he found Rita's and let me tell you it was awesome and I don't ever regret coming here at all. I had their small white menudo bowl and I think today I'm gonna have their large white menudo bowl lol

This is one of those hidden gems that you'll want to take out-of-town guests to. It's located just off of the I-10, next to a tire shop, but when you step inside, you're transported to your favorite restaurant in Rocky Point. They have an extensive menu of REALLY good food and they'll let you order off the breakfast menu all day. :) This is my new favorite Mexican food restaurant!

I come here frequently, I am usually impressed, but I was disappointed with there salsa. It was kind of watery. It's like they needed to stretch it.

Norm R.
As their sign says: Autentica Comida Mexicana. The food, the vibe, the service - all excellent. My friend and fellow yelper John M. and I had quite a feast here. Acting on advice from the reviews I read here, I ordered the seafood enchilada - it was pure ambrosia, loaded with juicy shrimp and fish cooked just right. John had the garlic shrimp and let me try some of it; the shrimp was succulent and the garlic flavor intense - I loved it! Caveat: I'm a very big fan of garlic and am one of those people who believe that you can never have too much garlic in a dish, so some of you might find the flavor on the aggressive side if you order it. But I know it's what I'll be ordering next time ;) The generous and tasty house margaritas were a perfect complement to the delightful repast..

Great Red Chile Beef and they don't skimp on the meat. Big beefy chunks and rich red and savory sauce. Salsa they serve is nice and chunky but could be spicier.

It's pretty good. Not excellent. Some drunken bar fly kept trying to get into the bathroom while I was using it. After announcing loudly that he had to (explicit term for using the restroom), he decided to use the ladies room. He walked in on a woman who screamed. He walked away chortling. Kinda ruined the experience. The bartender should have kicked him out right then, but instead served him up another red eye. $77 for two adults and one 9 year old before tip is pretty pricey for Mexican food. La Pinta margarita is a must try, really good and not too strong. Posole is pretty good. They give you a lot! We'll come back based on location if we ever need a quick Mexican fix and don't mind paying extra for the convenience. The waitresses were all very polite.

I can't stop thinking about Rita's! We stumbled on the restaurant driving out of Phoenix and headed for the bay area. What a great find! Love the food, service, and great pricing. I had the Baja California shrimp - the sauce...as well as the rest of the food was excellent.

Having lived in Texas for 20 years, and AZ for 10, I have eaten in a lot of Mexican Food Restaurants. My wife and I went to Rita's tonight and I can honestly say that this is the best Mexican Food place I have eaten in in a very very long time. The Food was excellent (Rocky Point style), the Service was really really good. The salsa is to die for. I ate more chips and salsa than I should have, but it was so so good. I learned that the woman who makes this salsa, has not shared the recipe with ANYONE. It is that good. First things first, we were greeted with what I thought was your basic typical red salsa and chips. Wrong! The chips were typical but the red salsa was definitely not! Things were great so far. But things got a lot better. Then we had the Toritos Appetizer: Yellow peppers stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in bacon with a really tasty sauce. Oh my, what amazing taste! My wife had a beautiful dish named Parrillada del Rancho. The food tasted great, but it came in a Tericotta serving dish. I have never ever seen anything like it before. It added something to the meal that is beyond belief. I usually come to a mexican restaurant with my pre-conceived notion of what I like. Well I like what I like, and have for a long time. But tonight I decided to get something a little different - I got the Camarones cobijados (Shrimp in a Blanket). Strimp stuffed with crab meat and wrapped in bacon. Yes, as Emeril says pork fat rules. I love bacon. This was really a good call on my part. It was great. Our waitress was very helpful, she was prompt, she refilled my water glass several times without my asking. Just a great evening. And the best part? I only live about 20 minutes away, and I didn't even know this place existed. Well I do NOW. All in all, I would give this place 6 stars out of 5. We will definitely be back.

As always the food was again great. Had the menudo. It was excellent almost as good as my mom's (you know mom's is the best. At least 95% of the time) The waitress was so busy but was able to take care of her tables and keep us satisfied. Will continue returning back. Love it here.

Brian T.
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! WE picked up a Groupon and decided to check this place out. I'm all for a new Mexican restaurant and Rita's did NOT disappoint! It's right off the I-10 at 35th ave, super easy to get to. We started with the table side Guacamole, which was perfect! two HUGE avocados and super fresh chips. The house salsa was also perfect! The next dish we got was the seafood cocktail de molcatejes (sp?) Talk about a humongoid bowl of awesomeness! (See the pic I posted). it was full of shrimp, octopus, scallops and fresh veggies ($20). I went with this mixed grill Plate, that had pork, beef and chicken with griled veggies and peppers! Thsi thing came out still sizzling on a huge platter! Talk about wow factor! Tehy have a seafood version for a few bucks more, definitely a killer dish. All in all, the food was fantastic, the service was awesome and we'll for sure be back!

Tina T.
Such a great meal! We bought a groupon and went on the same day. Being the foodies we are, we bought the Groupon for $50 worth of food and ordered up a ton of it. For apps, we had the guacamole and seafood cocktail (be warned, there was raw shrimp and scallops, mixed in with the cooked seafood) for $18.50. It had a lot of seafood: shrimp, scallops, and octopus. They did not skimp on the tableside guacamole either. So good. For dinner, I had the bacon wrapped shrimp with rice and salad on the side. I didn't eat the salad, but the shrimp and rice were delicious. My husband got a mixed grill plate he thoroughly enjoyed. Total bill for two dinners, soda, and apps, was $55 and we had a substantial amount of leftovers. Service was attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back!

This place was great. Their seafood enchiladas were amazing! And that pomegranate margarita was great. Aaron was our waiter. He didn't want me to use my Groupon at first. Yea right! I found this place driving and found a deal. Now i have to find a place in LA for a replica of those enchiladas!

First time here at Ritas, and I can't say enough positive things about it!! Our server was Eva and she was AMAZING super friendly and knew alot about the menu which was helpful for our first visit. Food was very good, the service was fast and the pricing was decent. If i did have to pick one down side it would be the outside curb appeal. It shares a plaza with an auto shop and looks kinda run down, but once you get inside its very clean, welcoming and decorated nicely! Totally worth it. We definitely will be back soon!!

There is too much to say but I am so full I have to take a nap this place was great service cute sweet waitresses food was plentiful servings are large u get more than what u pay for on quality and quantity I'm a truck driver so I see a lot of restaurants and I have had 1 other restaurant that was this good and it was on the border of Texas and I could walk behind the restaurant and be in Mexico and this has to be my number 2 spot. My final words are DO NOT PASS THIS PLACE UP TRY IT EAT AND U WILL LOVE IT

So, the lady and I were in search of some Saturday night food and couldn't decide on what. I had the brilliant idea to get on Groupon and was stuck in between two choices: Rita's and another unnamed Phoenix establishment that we had already been to that is always solid never great. Well, what the hell, let's give Rita's a shot. Nice and conveniently located on 35th and the I-10, we find a spot and get in. Order a few margaritas and they were great. I'm not the world's biggest fan of the marg but Aaron knows how to hook it up. Next, we ordered the table side Guac, I got the Playa Bonita, the lady got the Seafood enchiladas. Everything was OUTSTANDING. I tried her enchiladas and they were dynamite and I had about 4 different kinds of fish that were all cooked perfectly. Service was outstanding, food was fantastic, there was absolutely no reason this place wasn't jam packed on a Saturday night. I suggest you go support a local business that does things right. I love Pappadeaux as much as the next guy and can say that Rita's stands just as tall next to them in service and food quality. You won't get the white tablecloth but you will have an extra $50 in your pocket when you leave and be just as satisfied.

Rammi M.
After reading the reviews I had high hopes for this place and sadly was disappointed. The food was great, I have zero complaints about the food but the service was awful. We had Aaron and it started out great but I had a groupon deal which he pretty much told me was useless and charged for stuff I had already paid for through groupon. I asked him about it and he pretty much said I was being cheap and dismissed my concerns. Needless to say, I will not be coming back here again. That experience just left a bad taste in my mouth. Also...we were a big party and talking to others afterwards, they too felt like Aaron was a jerk to us.

At first I was a little concerned about the location. But the restaurant was very clean both in & out, had a fun atmosphere & was a gem of a find through Groupon The table side guac is super delicious. And Aaron makes a helluva margarita. The service was outstanding & extremely personable at all levels.

Right when we walked in the door we were greeted and seated with a smile. Luckily for us we came in during happy hour. The $3 beers and $5 margaritas were huge and delicious. The food was wonderful and reasonably priced. After our meal the manager came over and asked us how everything was. Talk about service! We will definitely come back!

A friend and I used a groupon today for a spur of the moment dinner. We were very pleased with the choices on the menu. I had the seafood platter. My friend enjoyed a green chile burrito, enchilada style. Excellent choices. We had too much food after enjoying the $5 happy hour margaritas and the excellent chips and salsa. That's ok...I love to have the leftovers for lunch the next day. Hats off to Aaron the manager. He took great care to give us a great experience along with our meal.

I've been here a few times now because we enjoyed it so much the first time and I honestly can't wait to go back. Location is not great and even living in the area for years never though of trying it but glad I did. The waiter was quite talkative but he really made the experience fun. He had recommendations from the menu and we ended up ordering the red chili Colorado which was defiantly one to go back for! We also tried the fajitas which were great and my son tore up his chicken taco plate and he isn't much of a Mexican food type of person. Defiantly recommend trying this place out!

Lisa L.
First time here. I have passed this restaurant for years now and I have never ate here. I decides to try it last year after buying a groupon. My groupon expires today just in time before my brothers birthday. Now I have to say it is a nice little cozy place nestled on a corner close to the freeway. Parking is limited. There is a line of spaces in the back of building maybe holds a good to 12 cars against a 3 ft brick wall right by the alley. Don't let the location chase you away. The building itself is cute lined with arched beautiful windows. When you walk in you can seat yourself someone will come to you and take your order. The inside is nicely decorated with typical Mexican decor Pancho Villa pictures and all. Not overly done but tastefully done. You will be served fresh hot chips with mmm mmm salsa. I bit spicy maybe for the weak but still full of flavor. We had an excellent waitress and she made sure our basket and salsa was always full along with our drinks. Water is not tap lol so that was nice I was a bit thirsty so didn't mind the refills. We ordered the platter with seafood for 2 you get a salad Mexican potatoes and rice. The platter was abundant with several tasty items sea bass grilled and breaded. Shrimp grilled AND lightly breaded and bacon wrapped and to top off a lobster tail. It truly was alot we definitely could not finish. If you ever are in the area and would like some authentic Mexican dishes stop by Rita's. The menu will not disappoint anyone there is something for everyone.

Traveling cross country we were in search of a Mexican restaurant close to highway 10. Rita's popped up. Salsa was fresh and spicy. The chips were crisp. The carne asada and fish enchiladas were perfect. Our server Yuriria was quick and extremely pleasant.

Went here because it was recommended by 2 co-workers and we also had a Groupon. We will be back, the food was amazing, the service was excellent, not very busy and service was fast. We will be going back, prices were reasonable even if we didn't have the Groupon.

Really good. It was sold to new ownership, and the tradition lives, with even better food. Try the Rellenos. Theirs are goos.

Diego S.
Rita's offers some great menu choices. Menudo is not one of them. But seeing how most people detest the thought of eating cooked bovine stomach, I can't see how this qualifies as any sort of problem. Oh, they don't serve Coke products either. Being a south Phoenix native and a menudo aficionado, I'm uniquely qualified to discern good menudo from bad menudo. This is definitely a bad recipe. The broth has too much of a tomato base and tastes weird. The tripe is overcooked and flubbery. Overall, it's pretty disgusting. So if you're having a weird day, with a penchant for menudo and a caffeine free diet Coke, forget it. Instead, have an ice cold Pepsi and a green chili burrito. Try their chips and salsa too. Four stars for the server's gigantic hangers. Overall, Rita's is a good restaurant but their menudo does suck balls.

Manuel C.
Classic Tex-Mex style for This part of the country. Well maintained and clean restaurant. Home made style Enchilada and Chile Rellenó combo was not over done with cheese. Didn't get any tortillas as part of my meal but I could have easily asked for some. The bar is small but they do a variety of margarita's that satisfy!

Brian M.
Second time to Rita's. The best Mexican food in the valley. Great mix of real Mexican style recipes (the seafood) sonoran/southwest style favorites, and even fajitas (which I haven't had yet but given lack of good fajitas in az I bet these will be great. The Chile rellenos I had today was the best I have ever had.

My first time at Rita was memorable. From the food to the service everything was top notch. Aaron who is the bartender/manager/host is friendly and funny. The toritos are an amazing appetizer. Aaron even offered to buy them for us if we did not like them. They are yellow peppers stuffed with shrimp and then wrapped in bacon. My main course was the carne asada with a cheese enchilada. The meal came with rice, beans and a salad. My father had the shredded beef chimichunga. The rice and beans were not included with the chimichunga. The rice is fluffy and flavorful. The beef in the chimichunga was sweet but had great flavor. The service was very fast. Drinks were refilled very fast. Aaron is a great host and makes you feel like family. We will be going back and will tell our friends about this amazing place.

Dan W.
I love the food here and frequent Rita's for lunch. Eight of us went to happy hour and much to my surprise completely different from lunch. with 2 tables occupied we sat down and waited for our server. she came over after about 20 minutes, we ordered drinks and then we waited for an hour, we then asked where our drinks were and we found out that no one on staff was old enough to serve alcohol. just a kid and what looked like her boy friend were so called working. Terrible experience and i will never go back for dinner/happy hour. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Phoenix, I was shocked with the terrible experience. The management must change their evening operations.

This has become one of our favorite places to eat at whenever we're in West Phoenix. The manager Aaron got us hooked on the toritos - shrimp stuffed bacon wrapped yellow chilis...so good. One of my other favorites is the shrimp cocktail served in a coconut, let me tell you...they don't skimp on the shrimp either! What they can't fit in the coco, they serve on the plate...it's super filling and delicious! Overall, every dish we've tried there has been good, so you can't go wrong coming here! The staff is extemely nice and your chips and salsa are brought to your table before you even get settled in! Keep up the good work, Aaron!!

My wife and I had the owner (I believe) and he was very warm and made us feel welcome. He recommeded the stuffed peppers with shrimp , wrapped in bacon and it was delicious! He was genuinely excited about his food/service and it shows. I doubt I will be back because of the very long distance from my house but I'd love for him to have a restaurant in California! I would highly recommend!

Yum, I definitely recommend the Taritos, which at this place are green peppers stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in bacon - amazing. The carne asada was nice as well, but the service is a bit slow. Very authentic.

Been going here since the 80's always good.. this place has always been a treat.! One thing that hasn't changed "thank god" is the salsa

I don't understand the great reviews! Aaron was a friendly guy, but only felt a slight buzz after two margaritas! Normally, I can't finish two! Ordered the toritos appetizer and the shrimp were very small and not very flavorful! The pepper was HOT! And it seems like it was swimming in soy sauce! Chips and salsa were ok, salsa was a little fiery. I ordered Chili Colorado, which on the menu came with a choice of red or green sauce. I ordered it with green sauce but Aaron said it came with red sauce. "It's chili colorado which is red sauce." I asked him why it says with red or green sauce on the menu. I love chili verde but never had it with beef. I stuck with the red sauce. The sauce was good but the beef was chewy and a little tough. The dish was quite salty and I happen to love salt, but it wasn't a good salty. The beans literally tasted like LARD! The rice was ok. My friend ordered carnitas which was supposed to be slow slimmered in sauce. Wish I would have taken a picture of it - pieces of burnt pork with no sauce whatsoever! He normally likes burnt meat, but the only edible pieces were the ones with fat! I give this place a two because the other two people in my party liked their food. I get better Mexican food back home in Las Vegas. For some reason we thought we'd be getting awesome Mexican food in Phoenix!

This place is the best thing going on in this area. In a neighborhood known more for warehouses than restaurants I was pleasantly surprised by how good Rita's is. Great salsa - and definitely above average food! Great rice, tasty beans, and the shrimp flautas were awesome! I've also had the huevos and chorizo there which were spot on delicious! Friendly staff and clean dining area.

OMG! I found this place on groupon! What a great find. Ordered a dozen oysters, half plain for the hubby and the other half where fully loaded for me. What can I say I'm a foodie its what we do. They had lemon cooked shrimp and fish with diced avocado, jalapeno and purple onions on top of these fresh bad boys. Let me tell you I stepped into heaven with the 1st taste. BOMB! Flavor! Flavor! Flavor! I have been to some places where the oyster had no taste like they where frozen, gross. But not here! Tasted fresh off the doc. The hubby also ordered a small shrimp cocktail that was loaded with shrimp, I managed to steal a bite and it was pretty tasty! The small was not even small it was a good portion. For the main course the hubby had 2 shrimp tacos with rice and beans that he loved. I had the sea food enchiladas. I'm such and enchilada'er and the sound of that freaked me out. But I love to step out with my taste buds. And I must say I wasn't let down one bit. They where stuffed with fish, shrimp and possibly a bit of crab. They melted in my mouth with the cooked chilies on top and get this, pieces of bacon!! BACON!! Hurt me! Nom! Service was great, super fast. One thing after the other came to our table like clock work. Drinks, bam oysters, bam cocktail, main course, boom! This place is a must try. I grow up near Monterey bay Ca. I know my sea food and I know it well. This is the best your gonna get in the Az desert. 2 snaps up and a twirl!

Grabbed lunch there today - not near my normal stomping ground but it looked like a decent place so I took a chance. Inside, clean and bright and a mix of biz people at lunch, local workers, some families. Server was prompt, nice and spoke English fluently. They brought out chips & salsa and the salsa was fantastic... fresh, home-made and had a nice kick. I chose a $6.95 combo plate - taco, bean tostada and enchilada. 5 minutes after ordering it was served up. What immediately stood out was everything was simple and light. The taco wasn't greasy - just some tasty meat, lettuce and white cheese. The tostada was similar - just a simple base with some really nice refried beans (def not from a can) and crispy lettuce/tomato and white cheese. The enchilada was good as well. I prefer New Mexico style enchiladas, with a really hot sauce, so i rarely order them outside of NM because they are usually bland. This had a red sauce that wasn't hot, but was definitely homemade and flavorful. Overall it was pretty straightforward, simple, yet flavorful fare and seemed a lot less heavy/greasy than typical places. And I'm often fine with greasy, though the beltline would disagree. I'd defintely frequent the place if it was near, though it's not so special to merit an out-of-the-way trip. It's a place where they care about making good grub and that shows. If you're near or going to be in the area, it's worth exploring.

Best red and green chili burros in town! Friendly service and authentic food. Check it out! also, to get a 2 dollar plate of fried ice cream with flan and a deep fried shell is awesome, can't think of a better desert for the cost in the valley!

Kennyatta P.
The burrito ruined the meal and that was the main dish. I ordered the carnitas burrito with side rice and beans. The rice and beans were great, not salty like a lot of other Mexican food joints. The burrito was mostly tortilla and the carnita I did get was dry and was not fresh. I had to remove most of the tortilla and add salsa so it would not by so dry. I would have giving this place a 1 star but the rice, beans, salsa, and chips were very good.

Stopped n sat. afternoon - what a mistake this place was!! It had to b the slowest most unfriendly place I have ever bn too n a very long time.... Asked our server , Betsy 4 more salsa and it literally took 17min. b4 she came back w/it . The other genius that was serving also looked @ us 3 times and said b rite w/u, NEVER came back !! They each had 2 tables and u wuld have thought they had a line out the door- they were both overwhelmed beyond my comprehension, never cn anything like it b4!! I took one bite of my DRY chicken ench. & spit it out n a napkin, NEVER did she ask was their a problem w/ur food .... I have bn a bartender 14yrs. and in the food industry for 28yrs. , it's bn 3.5hrs since we were n there and i'm still baffled on this horrible, rude service .... Don't know how they keep there jobs w/their poor attitudes.... NEWS FLASH - Ur customers pay ur bills !!!! I DID NOT want to leave her a tip but decided i wuld leave a dollar so mayb she wuld think twice and smile @ the next table, she didn't !!!! I wuld have left a 50% tip had my experience bn different.... You NEVER know what ur customer does for a living so watch how u treat people.... NEVER GOING BACK !!!!

Great value for a sit down place. Food was good. Getting into the parking lot was a little tight, but manageable.

Groupon took us to this restaurant today, we arrived at about 3pm and the restaurant was slow. Aaron was our waiter and led us to wonderful selections on the menu. We would rate Rita's salsa pretty close to the best salsa we have ever had! Aaron was also our bartender and he mixed us up two fabulous margaritas. We had Parrillada del Rancho for Two for lunch/dinner - the price was very reasonable for the amount of food that was delivered! The platter had freshly seasoned carne asada, grilled chicken breast and pork chop accompanied by grilled vegetables, served with rice, beans, pico and fresh tortilla's. No way could we eat it all and we definitely left with full tummy's and a nice to go box! Plus, we felt this was possibly the best Mexican food we have had in the eight years we have been visiting various Mexican food establishments here in Phoenix. Bravo Rita's!! We will be back and we will recommend you to our friends and family.

A friend of mine and her husband and 2 kids went to this restaurant for the first time ever and just LOVED it! My friend picked a bit from everybody's plate and has this to say: Chicken tacos - fantastic! Chicken and rice soup - tasted as good as homemade soup!!!!! Rice - not too fluffy nor clumpy Beans - very good (and my friend does NOT like beans) Everything was covered with delicious white grated cheese. Note: very little to no English is spoken at this establishment.

One of best Mexican restaurant in the valley. Very low key but delicious. Love their homemade salsa and crunchy & hot piping chips as well as all their tacos (machaca, carnitas and lengua). Another favorite I love to get also is the cocido de res soup.

Christopher S.
Very good Mexican food. The server was friendly but seemed overworked. The chips and salsa was excellent. I ordered the machaca chimi and it was very good. Did not come with rice and beans but was enough food itself. I would recommend this to people who want more than chain Mexican food.

My hubby works out on the west side so he will occasionally drag the whole family to some resturaunt he has decided is well worth the trek. Rita's is one of our go to's for completely authentic Mexican. Rita herself is a classy business saavy gal from south of the border who knows her stuff and is a sweetheart to her patrons. The food is muy muy bien. Si es possible, triega una persona que habla espanol. Or you can just point to the number on the menu. Up to you.

If you enjoy Taco Tuesday, then you have officially fallen in love with the Mexican Food. The main grain of Mexican cuisine is maize. Also known as corn, maize is grown for the past 9000 years after the crop was discovered by the people in Mayan civilization. Mexican empire flourished when they started growing beans, tomatoes, chili pepper, sweet potato and cactus. Till this date these ingredients are used in cooking authentic Mexican dishes and drinks.
Great use of spices, fresh chili pepper dishes like fajitas, tortilla chips, corn chips, salsa, chimichangas, burritos, nachos and quesadillas are invented in America. But when you are looking for authentic Mexican food then you must find a restaurant in the city that serves Rajas con Queso, Garbanzo in a Guajillo Chile Sauce, Pork Filled Chiles Rellenos, Chiles en Nogada, Molcajete Salsa, Pico de Gallo and Frijoles de la Olla. An eye-opening fact – Mexican don't like their food hot. They use fresh chili and other spices to create a flavor that lingers in your mouth.
Mexican food is great for those who are Gluten Intolerant as they use Corn instead of wheat in most of their dishes. Also, you can easily find many beans based Mexican dishes. Another dish which didn't get similar glory as tacos or nachos is the Mexican hot chocolate. If you love something hot on a chilly day, then go for Mexican Hot Chocolate. On merry days, you can enjoy the authentic Mexican Drinks like Tequila, Mezcal, Tecuí, Sotol, Bacanora, Charanda, Posh O Pox, Puebla and Pulque. Mexican Cuisine is for people who enjoy strong drinks and hearty meals.

This place is amazing! At a location I wouldn't really think of going. But this place is definitely worth coming back to even without Groupon. My friend and I loved every dish we had. The bacon wrapped chili was actually stuffed with 2shrimp as well! Everything was great! From the staff, the service, and the atmosphere, but the food speaks for itself. Amazing! Can't wait to go back and try more. It does cost a little more than those chain 'bertos' places. But you have to pay a few extra dollars for delicious food. Don't be afraid to just close you eyes and pick something in the menu. Next time I will try and ask to have my seafood deveined. Their salsa also amazed me. Tasted homemade and authentic. Met the owner during dinner and made our experience even better! A great guy! Very attentive and friendly staff!

It was great to finally get Sonoran Mexican food that showcased Mexican flavors instead of Americanized, cheese-drowned versions of Mexican food. The Patron margaritas are the real deal and a steal at only $9 as the glasses are enormous. The Chili Colorado offered lots of meat and a good red chili sauce. The Pablano Relleno was lightly battered and stuffed with flavorful shredded chicken with a light cheese sauce floating in a plate of red chili sauce, it was the right touch of cheese. One of the best parts of the meal was the beans. They are authentic as you get the pork flavor you are supposed to get from beans when they are done right and made with ham hocks or other pork parts! I didn't ask how the beans were prepared but they taste like they were made with an old school recipe. We liked the fried ice cream with the cinnamon shell over the sopapillas as they were a little to doughy. This and the fundillo are the only reasons I am going with 4 instead of 5 stars. The cheese fundillo was more of a thin Monterrey cheese than the traditional thick Mexican cheese, however, the chorizo on top was excellent. It wasn't that it was bad it just wasn't what we were looking for in a fundillo. We are hard to please when it comes to authentic Mexican food and this will be our new go to place as it is unbelievably hard to find good Mexican food in Phoenix/Tempe and this was worth the drive. We can't wait to go back to try the seafood and grilled carne platters.

I wan't sure about this place when we first arrived as it is just off the freeway and shares a parking lot with a Mexican auto / tire shop. However, when you step inside, this little gem looks like it belongs in Old Town Scottsdale. I made a mistake and order my old standby, shredded beef tacos. Don't get me wrong, they were okay, but nothing like my GF's order. She order the steak fajitas which were amazing! In fact, these are by far the best fajitas either one of us has ever experienced. They came with all the usual suspects, however they are of the highest quality. I want to go back and try more items on the menu, but I am definetly ordering the steak fajitas next time!!! If you like fajitas, you must try Rita's!
(4)Lissa E.
My friend and I are trying new restaurants every Saturday. Today we went to Rita 's. The waitress Eva was totally awesome and very attentive to our table. Many others came by to make sure we had all we needed. The food was great and I would go back in a heartbeat. Thanks again Eva for the best service see you again definitely!!
(5)Abram E.
No thank you for responding. I know you might have great tasting food but unfortunately that wasn't the case when I was there. It was a little to salty and about the staff I would of appreciated if they came back asking if everything was ok, but they didn't. I was actually excited to go there due to the some good reviews on your restaurant but I wished it was a little more pleasant and employees more excited to work there. I would of asked for something else but due to the lack in timing of the waitress I was to hungry to even wait. Hopefully you continue making changes and it all works out.
(1)Paige W.
We had the appetizer the bacon wrapped child's which were pretty good. We then split the carne asada plate which was plenty of food for the two of us. The service was good, the salsa was good and we will come back for lunch.
(4)Rita R.
We ordered margaritas, fresh guacamole, abondigas soup, salad, fajitas, and fried ice cream. Everything was so delicious and you could tell the ingredients were fresh. The waitress was very nice and did a great job. I will definitely come back when I'm back in the Phoenix area.
(5)Angie T.
So we were on yet another hunt for some fabulous Mexican food and Found it! chips and salsa were fresh, the frozen mags were good. I had the steak fajitas and wow I was in heaven! The veggies were cooked and seasoned to perfection and the steak was mouth watering and tortillas hot and fresh. And the serving size is huge! Yum I will be back!
(4)LaNoya J.
Extremely delish authentic Mexican food. Saturday evening around 5ish and wasn't that busy. When we got there waited just a tad to be seated but then were taken care of right away. Waitress was very nice and explained anything we didn't quite understand. Overall great food and experience
(5)Denise L.
Sorry yelpers this was awful! Cheese crisp was made with an old tortilla. Like eating thick paper. Sick. Cheese was barely melted. We ordered a three combo plate 2 tacos and a cheese enchilada. Plate was not even hot. Cheese not melted in the enchilada and the tacos were on these weird shells. So disappointing and a whopping 35$ with tip. We were expecting 5 star food from all the reviews......only thing we can imagine is they have never had really good authentic Mexican food. Big big let down. Never again. Sick sick sick.
(1)Sean C.
Sadly, I have to update my review from 5 stars to 2 stars. Margaritas were awful, service was awful, server did not know happy hour drink special and we had to point on the billboard the prices, instead of checking, she immediately informed that alcohol drinks were not o happy hour. She cleared chips and salsa without asking us if we were done. Horrible experience compared to previous visits. We will try one more time as this may have just been a fluke. Fingers crossed...
(2)Buckeye.eater A.
Most excellent!!! Whole fried red snapper gorgeous to look at and great tasting. Service was A-1 couldn't ask for more. This is a gem of a Mariscos restaurant.
(5)Bill D.
I relied on the Yelp reviews to find a good Mexican restaurant in a certain vicinity, and Rita's Mexican Food was the choice. Seeing they take reservations, I made one since it was a Saturday night, and we were planning on dining at 6:30. I was surprised to see the place empty, except for a couple tables, and wondered if Yelp had let me down. Nope! It started with the friendly wait staff. She was very nice and checked with us often, but not too often, to make sure we were ok. The Sangria and strawberry margarita were very good. My Parrillada Del Rancho dinner included a thin slice of steak, chicken, and pork chop. All 3 meats were a slightly overdone, maybe from the grill or the "cooker" it was presented on at the table. But tasty, none the less. The other 3 meals were said to be very good, too. Oh, and the guacamole was freshly made at the table, and also very good. 4 dinners, 2 alcohol drinks, guacamole appetizer, and a a fried ice cream came to $132.
(4)Stellz L.
The food was just alright. Really great happy hour specials for drinks. ****BEWARE**** for our party of 4 (not 8 or 10) they added automatic gratuity. The fast and not thorough explanation given to my boyfriend was "yeah..we already add on gratuity". Ok...where is that posted? Is that legal? Gratuity is an incentive. Don't get me wrong, I tip, but I don't like being forced into something. I actually tip more than their forced tip charge. Just doesn't sit right with me when that isn't made clear. ****Seems deceitful.****
(2)Tatiana Y.
Manager is pretty GREAT! And Eva bartender pretty great too! First time stop because I was thirsty for margarita . They served well! Enjoyed time there!!!! I will be back for Molcajette !!!!!!
(5)Eduardo B.
Great Mexican food and excellent service! The food and the Margaritas are to die for! Try it, it is worth it. Ever, Erin and Paulina always make you feel welcome.
(5)Sandra R.
A friend told me this place was a place to get great Mexican food. We got lunch from there today. Prices were high. We spent over $50 for lunch for three people. For that price you think the food would be unbelievable, well it wasn't. It was more like tasteless and less than remarkable. Definitely will not be eating there again or recommending them to anyone. Such a disappointment.
(2)Wendy O.
Good salsa, huge salads, friendly service. I always go there for dinner but I'm hoping to get in to try their chilaquiles for breakfast.
(4)Pam C.
Whenever we're in the area (which is infrequently), we come to Rita's. The chips and salsa are great - though a little too spicy for my gringo husband. I have enjoyed both entrees I've purchased (the carne adobada and the combo with the beef tamale, shrimp taco and chicken enchilada). My husband got a little more adventurous (and expensive) and got the Azteca and didn't care for it. Also have to disagree with other Yelpers on the Toritos. They aren't extremely tasty with the exception of the sauce - and we took the extra sauce home because there was way too much of it and we used it as steak sauce. I wish they would bottle it and sell it separately! Margaritas are also tasty, but not extremely strong. Go and support your local AZ businesspeople. To me, it's better than Valle Luna and many other self-proclaimed "authentic" joints.
(4)Sara I.
Found by chance, would definitely go back. I had the Chilaquilas con huevos abd they were tasty and the beans were even better
(4)Amber B.
The $5 margaritas the size of my head was excellent. The table side guacamole was fresh and tasty. Food is incredible!!! Tacos, crispy, fresh, good flavor. Loved it. Server was kind, friendly, personable. Great find!
(5)B S.
Went to ths place after getting a groupon and looked like a good deal . Atmosphere was nice, located in a rundown area. Food was ok, but there popular steak meat platter is full of dried out, overcooked steak, salsa was good and chips were average. A big turnoff for me was the waiter trying to upsell everything and trying to get us to buy the most expensive dish. To me it felt like a used car salesmen but it came across fake rather then friendly. My biggest complaint is we had a groupon for $30 and he would only let us use 27 of it! The total bill was 33.96 , but he didn't like us using groupon so made up An excuse for not taking it all. Overall, fair food, poor service, much better options out there.
(1)Marta D.
The best always!!!! I come here probably way more than I should, but I just can't stay away!
(5)Seth B.
Boy am I happy I tried this place. Let's go chronologically. Love the surroundings, definitely has a cozy feel inside. The service was great, absolutely loved our waitress. The margaritas(one house, one frozen sunset) were awesome. I almost never drink them or like them, but I managed to enjoy this one, that says something. The salsa was delicious with a great kick to it. I had the adobada while my buddy had the tampiquena. Both dishes were fantastic, the rice and beans were phenomenal. Loved every bit of it. Nothing was too greasy, everything very nice and hot and came out quick. For dessert we had flan and sopapillas, both some of the best I've ever had. I can't recommend this place enough. GO GO GO.
(5)Taylor Momo J.
First visit ever, due to a Groupon deal. Was not disappointed. Great food, love the ambiance, great service by the waitresses. They checked back often, and if I wanted more chips and salsa. I had shrimp ceviche, seven seas soup, and heuvos con chorizo. It was all delicious! Prices were reasonable and serving sizes generous. Wooden booths, wooden tables and chairs, Spanish music, quick service, sufficient parking. Coming off the I-10, you have to go north then find a turn around point. The atmosphere was nice. Some old objects on walls for ambiance. Plenty of seating. No wait on Saturday. It looks deceiving on the outside, I wasn't sure they were open, but I was there around 6pm. I'll be returning for sure. Thanks for a great first experience everyone there!
(5)Be H.
We found Rita's via yelp while trying to meet friends passing through Phoenix heading West on I-10 from I-17. We are from Ahwatukee and it was 100% worth the drive! The staff was wonderful, polite and efficient. The food was amazing! So much flavor and the portions were just right. We plan to visit Rita's again, despite the drive we will find time to go.
(5)Kimmy N.
Not a big fan of Mexican food. But since I'm here in Phoenix I gotta try it. The food was very good. The server was friendly. Would definitely recommend this place. Big portion though.
(4)Adrian M.
First time I had their food and it was phenomenal! I had family come down here from Colorado, Texas, and New Mexico and they were all tired of the same restaurant we always went to before and my uncle said you know what let's try somewhere different. So he found Rita's and let me tell you it was awesome and I don't ever regret coming here at all. I had their small white menudo bowl and I think today I'm gonna have their large white menudo bowl lol
(5)Rachel G.
This is one of those hidden gems that you'll want to take out-of-town guests to. It's located just off of the I-10, next to a tire shop, but when you step inside, you're transported to your favorite restaurant in Rocky Point. They have an extensive menu of REALLY good food and they'll let you order off the breakfast menu all day. :) This is my new favorite Mexican food restaurant!
(5)Maria M.
I come here frequently, I am usually impressed, but I was disappointed with there salsa. It was kind of watery. It's like they needed to stretch it.
(4)Norm R.
As their sign says: Autentica Comida Mexicana. The food, the vibe, the service - all excellent. My friend and fellow yelper John M. and I had quite a feast here. Acting on advice from the reviews I read here, I ordered the seafood enchilada - it was pure ambrosia, loaded with juicy shrimp and fish cooked just right. John had the garlic shrimp and let me try some of it; the shrimp was succulent and the garlic flavor intense - I loved it! Caveat: I'm a very big fan of garlic and am one of those people who believe that you can never have too much garlic in a dish, so some of you might find the flavor on the aggressive side if you order it. But I know it's what I'll be ordering next time ;) The generous and tasty house margaritas were a perfect complement to the delightful repast..
(5)Alonzo L.
Great Red Chile Beef and they don't skimp on the meat. Big beefy chunks and rich red and savory sauce. Salsa they serve is nice and chunky but could be spicier.
(4)Ja'Crispy F.
It's pretty good. Not excellent. Some drunken bar fly kept trying to get into the bathroom while I was using it. After announcing loudly that he had to (explicit term for using the restroom), he decided to use the ladies room. He walked in on a woman who screamed. He walked away chortling. Kinda ruined the experience. The bartender should have kicked him out right then, but instead served him up another red eye. $77 for two adults and one 9 year old before tip is pretty pricey for Mexican food. La Pinta margarita is a must try, really good and not too strong. Posole is pretty good. They give you a lot! We'll come back based on location if we ever need a quick Mexican fix and don't mind paying extra for the convenience. The waitresses were all very polite.
(3)Christina F.
I can't stop thinking about Rita's! We stumbled on the restaurant driving out of Phoenix and headed for the bay area. What a great find! Love the food, service, and great pricing. I had the Baja California shrimp - the sauce...as well as the rest of the food was excellent.
(4)Elena R.
The food & service was good. We had Aaron he was awesome :) I recommend you try the toritos
(5)jerry d.
Having lived in Texas for 20 years, and AZ for 10, I have eaten in a lot of Mexican Food Restaurants. My wife and I went to Rita's tonight and I can honestly say that this is the best Mexican Food place I have eaten in in a very very long time. The Food was excellent (Rocky Point style), the Service was really really good. The salsa is to die for. I ate more chips and salsa than I should have, but it was so so good. I learned that the woman who makes this salsa, has not shared the recipe with ANYONE. It is that good. First things first, we were greeted with what I thought was your basic typical red salsa and chips. Wrong! The chips were typical but the red salsa was definitely not! Things were great so far. But things got a lot better. Then we had the Toritos Appetizer: Yellow peppers stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in bacon with a really tasty sauce. Oh my, what amazing taste! My wife had a beautiful dish named Parrillada del Rancho. The food tasted great, but it came in a Tericotta serving dish. I have never ever seen anything like it before. It added something to the meal that is beyond belief. I usually come to a mexican restaurant with my pre-conceived notion of what I like. Well I like what I like, and have for a long time. But tonight I decided to get something a little different - I got the Camarones cobijados (Shrimp in a Blanket). Strimp stuffed with crab meat and wrapped in bacon. Yes, as Emeril says pork fat rules. I love bacon. This was really a good call on my part. It was great. Our waitress was very helpful, she was prompt, she refilled my water glass several times without my asking. Just a great evening. And the best part? I only live about 20 minutes away, and I didn't even know this place existed. Well I do NOW. All in all, I would give this place 6 stars out of 5. We will definitely be back.
(5)David H.
As always the food was again great. Had the menudo. It was excellent almost as good as my mom's (you know mom's is the best. At least 95% of the time) The waitress was so busy but was able to take care of her tables and keep us satisfied. Will continue returning back. Love it here.
(5)Brian T.
Awesome, Awesome, Awesome! WE picked up a Groupon and decided to check this place out. I'm all for a new Mexican restaurant and Rita's did NOT disappoint! It's right off the I-10 at 35th ave, super easy to get to. We started with the table side Guacamole, which was perfect! two HUGE avocados and super fresh chips. The house salsa was also perfect! The next dish we got was the seafood cocktail de molcatejes (sp?) Talk about a humongoid bowl of awesomeness! (See the pic I posted). it was full of shrimp, octopus, scallops and fresh veggies ($20). I went with this mixed grill Plate, that had pork, beef and chicken with griled veggies and peppers! Thsi thing came out still sizzling on a huge platter! Talk about wow factor! Tehy have a seafood version for a few bucks more, definitely a killer dish. All in all, the food was fantastic, the service was awesome and we'll for sure be back!
(4)Tina T.
Such a great meal! We bought a groupon and went on the same day. Being the foodies we are, we bought the Groupon for $50 worth of food and ordered up a ton of it. For apps, we had the guacamole and seafood cocktail (be warned, there was raw shrimp and scallops, mixed in with the cooked seafood) for $18.50. It had a lot of seafood: shrimp, scallops, and octopus. They did not skimp on the tableside guacamole either. So good. For dinner, I had the bacon wrapped shrimp with rice and salad on the side. I didn't eat the salad, but the shrimp and rice were delicious. My husband got a mixed grill plate he thoroughly enjoyed. Total bill for two dinners, soda, and apps, was $55 and we had a substantial amount of leftovers. Service was attentive and friendly. I would definitely come back!

This place was great. Their seafood enchiladas were amazing! And that pomegranate margarita was great. Aaron was our waiter. He didn't want me to use my Groupon at first. Yea right! I found this place driving and found a deal. Now i have to find a place in LA for a replica of those enchiladas!
(4)Kaiti M.
Amazing enchiladas! Fantastic atmosphere with great music and our waitress, Eva, was hilarious! The margaritas were SO GOOD. I would highly recommend eating here!
(5)Amanda A.
First time here at Ritas, and I can't say enough positive things about it!! Our server was Eva and she was AMAZING super friendly and knew alot about the menu which was helpful for our first visit. Food was very good, the service was fast and the pricing was decent. If i did have to pick one down side it would be the outside curb appeal. It shares a plaza with an auto shop and looks kinda run down, but once you get inside its very clean, welcoming and decorated nicely! Totally worth it. We definitely will be back soon!!

This place has some of the best food I've had in a while. Get the Chile Colorado or Carne Asada- seriously delish! I can't wait to try the seafood next time.
(5)Mike M.

There is too much to say but I am so full I have to take a nap this place was great service cute sweet waitresses food was plentiful servings are large u get more than what u pay for on quality and quantity I'm a truck driver so I see a lot of restaurants and I have had 1 other restaurant that was this good and it was on the border of Texas and I could walk behind the restaurant and be in Mexico and this has to be my number 2 spot. My final words are DO NOT PASS THIS PLACE UP TRY IT EAT AND U WILL LOVE IT

Update: the owner did write to me saying they will work on getting their takeout orders correct. I appreciate a business willing to improve.

We bought a Groupon and my husband went there for a lunch date and were told the groupons were only good after 3 but they made an exception anyways, the food was wonderful, huge portions and great staff

So, the lady and I were in search of some Saturday night food and couldn't decide on what. I had the brilliant idea to get on Groupon and was stuck in between two choices: Rita's and another unnamed Phoenix establishment that we had already been to that is always solid never great. Well, what the hell, let's give Rita's a shot. Nice and conveniently located on 35th and the I-10, we find a spot and get in. Order a few margaritas and they were great. I'm not the world's biggest fan of the marg but Aaron knows how to hook it up. Next, we ordered the table side Guac, I got the Playa Bonita, the lady got the Seafood enchiladas. Everything was OUTSTANDING. I tried her enchiladas and they were dynamite and I had about 4 different kinds of fish that were all cooked perfectly. Service was outstanding, food was fantastic, there was absolutely no reason this place wasn't jam packed on a Saturday night. I suggest you go support a local business that does things right. I love Pappadeaux as much as the next guy and can say that Rita's stands just as tall next to them in service and food quality. You won't get the white tablecloth but you will have an extra $50 in your pocket when you leave and be just as satisfied.

After reading the reviews I had high hopes for this place and sadly was disappointed. The food was great, I have zero complaints about the food but the service was awful. We had Aaron and it started out great but I had a groupon deal which he pretty much told me was useless and charged for stuff I had already paid for through groupon. I asked him about it and he pretty much said I was being cheap and dismissed my concerns. Needless to say, I will not be coming back here again. That experience just left a bad taste in my mouth. Also...we were a big party and talking to others afterwards, they too felt like Aaron was a jerk to us.
(2)Juan O.
The wife and I went to Ritas a couple of months ago and let me tell you its gooood. Will come back for sure. O and thanks to Erin that made our time there awesome.
(4)Brandy H.
Might not be best area but the food and drinks were great. Friendly staff! If you go save room for fried ice cream. Delicious. Definitely going back.
(4)TDawg T.
The service was good....the enchiladas were good...the chips and salsa were great....the 'hood is a little sketchy, so go for lunch. I wish I had time to have one of their margaritas because I hear they are good. I enjoyed my dinner though :-)
(4)Sheryl C.
At first I was a little concerned about the location. But the restaurant was very clean both in & out, had a fun atmosphere & was a gem of a find through Groupon The table side guac is super delicious. And Aaron makes a helluva margarita. The service was outstanding & extremely personable at all levels.
(4)Zach F.
Right when we walked in the door we were greeted and seated with a smile. Luckily for us we came in during happy hour. The $3 beers and $5 margaritas were huge and delicious. The food was wonderful and reasonably priced. After our meal the manager came over and asked us how everything was. Talk about service! We will definitely come back!
(4)Beth P.
A friend and I used a groupon today for a spur of the moment dinner. We were very pleased with the choices on the menu. I had the seafood platter. My friend enjoyed a green chile burrito, enchilada style. Excellent choices. We had too much food after enjoying the $5 happy hour margaritas and the excellent chips and salsa. That's ok...I love to have the leftovers for lunch the next day. Hats off to Aaron the manager. He took great care to give us a great experience along with our meal.
(5)Paul C.
I come in from Orange County every 5-6 weeks on business and stay for a few days. I make sure to eat here every time I come into town. Food is awesome and staff is very friendly. Love the carnitas plate!
(5)Rachel H.
I've been here a few times now because we enjoyed it so much the first time and I honestly can't wait to go back. Location is not great and even living in the area for years never though of trying it but glad I did. The waiter was quite talkative but he really made the experience fun. He had recommendations from the menu and we ended up ordering the red chili Colorado which was defiantly one to go back for! We also tried the fajitas which were great and my son tore up his chicken taco plate and he isn't much of a Mexican food type of person. Defiantly recommend trying this place out!
(5)Lisa L.
First time here. I have passed this restaurant for years now and I have never ate here. I decides to try it last year after buying a groupon. My groupon expires today just in time before my brothers birthday. Now I have to say it is a nice little cozy place nestled on a corner close to the freeway. Parking is limited. There is a line of spaces in the back of building maybe holds a good to 12 cars against a 3 ft brick wall right by the alley. Don't let the location chase you away. The building itself is cute lined with arched beautiful windows. When you walk in you can seat yourself someone will come to you and take your order. The inside is nicely decorated with typical Mexican decor Pancho Villa pictures and all. Not overly done but tastefully done. You will be served fresh hot chips with mmm mmm salsa. I bit spicy maybe for the weak but still full of flavor. We had an excellent waitress and she made sure our basket and salsa was always full along with our drinks. Water is not tap lol so that was nice I was a bit thirsty so didn't mind the refills. We ordered the platter with seafood for 2 you get a salad Mexican potatoes and rice. The platter was abundant with several tasty items sea bass grilled and breaded. Shrimp grilled AND lightly breaded and bacon wrapped and to top off a lobster tail. It truly was alot we definitely could not finish. If you ever are in the area and would like some authentic Mexican dishes stop by Rita's. The menu will not disappoint anyone there is something for everyone.
(5)Rebecca L.
Traveling cross country we were in search of a Mexican restaurant close to highway 10. Rita's popped up. Salsa was fresh and spicy. The chips were crisp. The carne asada and fish enchiladas were perfect. Our server Yuriria was quick and extremely pleasant.
(5)Melanie G.
Went here because it was recommended by 2 co-workers and we also had a Groupon. We will be back, the food was amazing, the service was excellent, not very busy and service was fast. We will be going back, prices were reasonable even if we didn't have the Groupon.
(5)Stew A.
Really good. It was sold to new ownership, and the tradition lives, with even better food. Try the Rellenos. Theirs are goos.
(4)Diego S.
Rita's offers some great menu choices. Menudo is not one of them. But seeing how most people detest the thought of eating cooked bovine stomach, I can't see how this qualifies as any sort of problem. Oh, they don't serve Coke products either. Being a south Phoenix native and a menudo aficionado, I'm uniquely qualified to discern good menudo from bad menudo. This is definitely a bad recipe. The broth has too much of a tomato base and tastes weird. The tripe is overcooked and flubbery. Overall, it's pretty disgusting. So if you're having a weird day, with a penchant for menudo and a caffeine free diet Coke, forget it. Instead, have an ice cold Pepsi and a green chili burrito. Try their chips and salsa too. Four stars for the server's gigantic hangers. Overall, Rita's is a good restaurant but their menudo does suck balls.
(4)Manuel C.
Classic Tex-Mex style for This part of the country. Well maintained and clean restaurant. Home made style Enchilada and Chile Rellenó combo was not over done with cheese. Didn't get any tortillas as part of my meal but I could have easily asked for some. The bar is small but they do a variety of margarita's that satisfy!
(4)Brian M.
Second time to Rita's. The best Mexican food in the valley. Great mix of real Mexican style recipes (the seafood) sonoran/southwest style favorites, and even fajitas (which I haven't had yet but given lack of good fajitas in az I bet these will be great. The Chile rellenos I had today was the best I have ever had.
(5)Mitch M.
Great atmosphere, food and staff hidden in South Phoenix. When friends come to visit this is the restaurant they all want to stop at.
(4)David R.
My first time at Rita was memorable. From the food to the service everything was top notch. Aaron who is the bartender/manager/host is friendly and funny. The toritos are an amazing appetizer. Aaron even offered to buy them for us if we did not like them. They are yellow peppers stuffed with shrimp and then wrapped in bacon. My main course was the carne asada with a cheese enchilada. The meal came with rice, beans and a salad. My father had the shredded beef chimichunga. The rice and beans were not included with the chimichunga. The rice is fluffy and flavorful. The beef in the chimichunga was sweet but had great flavor. The service was very fast. Drinks were refilled very fast. Aaron is a great host and makes you feel like family. We will be going back and will tell our friends about this amazing place.
(5)Dan W.
I love the food here and frequent Rita's for lunch. Eight of us went to happy hour and much to my surprise completely different from lunch. with 2 tables occupied we sat down and waited for our server. she came over after about 20 minutes, we ordered drinks and then we waited for an hour, we then asked where our drinks were and we found out that no one on staff was old enough to serve alcohol. just a kid and what looked like her boy friend were so called working. Terrible experience and i will never go back for dinner/happy hour. This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in Phoenix, I was shocked with the terrible experience. The management must change their evening operations.
(1)Roberta G.
This has become one of our favorite places to eat at whenever we're in West Phoenix. The manager Aaron got us hooked on the toritos - shrimp stuffed bacon wrapped yellow chilis...so good. One of my other favorites is the shrimp cocktail served in a coconut, let me tell you...they don't skimp on the shrimp either! What they can't fit in the coco, they serve on the plate...it's super filling and delicious! Overall, every dish we've tried there has been good, so you can't go wrong coming here! The staff is extemely nice and your chips and salsa are brought to your table before you even get settled in! Keep up the good work, Aaron!!
(5)James B.
My wife and I had the owner (I believe) and he was very warm and made us feel welcome. He recommeded the stuffed peppers with shrimp , wrapped in bacon and it was delicious! He was genuinely excited about his food/service and it shows. I doubt I will be back because of the very long distance from my house but I'd love for him to have a restaurant in California! I would highly recommend!
(5)Michael B.
Yum, I definitely recommend the Taritos, which at this place are green peppers stuffed with shrimp and wrapped in bacon - amazing. The carne asada was nice as well, but the service is a bit slow. Very authentic.
(4)Judge R.
Been going here since the 80's always good.. this place has always been a treat.! One thing that hasn't changed "thank god" is the salsa
(4)Terrance B.
I don't understand the great reviews! Aaron was a friendly guy, but only felt a slight buzz after two margaritas! Normally, I can't finish two! Ordered the toritos appetizer and the shrimp were very small and not very flavorful! The pepper was HOT! And it seems like it was swimming in soy sauce! Chips and salsa were ok, salsa was a little fiery. I ordered Chili Colorado, which on the menu came with a choice of red or green sauce. I ordered it with green sauce but Aaron said it came with red sauce. "It's chili colorado which is red sauce." I asked him why it says with red or green sauce on the menu. I love chili verde but never had it with beef. I stuck with the red sauce. The sauce was good but the beef was chewy and a little tough. The dish was quite salty and I happen to love salt, but it wasn't a good salty. The beans literally tasted like LARD! The rice was ok. My friend ordered carnitas which was supposed to be slow slimmered in sauce. Wish I would have taken a picture of it - pieces of burnt pork with no sauce whatsoever! He normally likes burnt meat, but the only edible pieces were the ones with fat! I give this place a two because the other two people in my party liked their food. I get better Mexican food back home in Las Vegas. For some reason we thought we'd be getting awesome Mexican food in Phoenix!
(2)Mike L.
This place is the best thing going on in this area. In a neighborhood known more for warehouses than restaurants I was pleasantly surprised by how good Rita's is. Great salsa - and definitely above average food! Great rice, tasty beans, and the shrimp flautas were awesome! I've also had the huevos and chorizo there which were spot on delicious! Friendly staff and clean dining area.
(4)JoMarie D.
OMG! I found this place on groupon! What a great find. Ordered a dozen oysters, half plain for the hubby and the other half where fully loaded for me. What can I say I'm a foodie its what we do. They had lemon cooked shrimp and fish with diced avocado, jalapeno and purple onions on top of these fresh bad boys. Let me tell you I stepped into heaven with the 1st taste. BOMB! Flavor! Flavor! Flavor! I have been to some places where the oyster had no taste like they where frozen, gross. But not here! Tasted fresh off the doc. The hubby also ordered a small shrimp cocktail that was loaded with shrimp, I managed to steal a bite and it was pretty tasty! The small was not even small it was a good portion. For the main course the hubby had 2 shrimp tacos with rice and beans that he loved. I had the sea food enchiladas. I'm such and enchilada'er and the sound of that freaked me out. But I love to step out with my taste buds. And I must say I wasn't let down one bit. They where stuffed with fish, shrimp and possibly a bit of crab. They melted in my mouth with the cooked chilies on top and get this, pieces of bacon!! BACON!! Hurt me! Nom! Service was great, super fast. One thing after the other came to our table like clock work. Drinks, bam oysters, bam cocktail, main course, boom! This place is a must try. I grow up near Monterey bay Ca. I know my sea food and I know it well. This is the best your gonna get in the Az desert. 2 snaps up and a twirl!

Grabbed lunch there today - not near my normal stomping ground but it looked like a decent place so I took a chance. Inside, clean and bright and a mix of biz people at lunch, local workers, some families. Server was prompt, nice and spoke English fluently. They brought out chips & salsa and the salsa was fantastic... fresh, home-made and had a nice kick. I chose a $6.95 combo plate - taco, bean tostada and enchilada. 5 minutes after ordering it was served up. What immediately stood out was everything was simple and light. The taco wasn't greasy - just some tasty meat, lettuce and white cheese. The tostada was similar - just a simple base with some really nice refried beans (def not from a can) and crispy lettuce/tomato and white cheese. The enchilada was good as well. I prefer New Mexico style enchiladas, with a really hot sauce, so i rarely order them outside of NM because they are usually bland. This had a red sauce that wasn't hot, but was definitely homemade and flavorful. Overall it was pretty straightforward, simple, yet flavorful fare and seemed a lot less heavy/greasy than typical places. And I'm often fine with greasy, though the beltline would disagree. I'd defintely frequent the place if it was near, though it's not so special to merit an out-of-the-way trip. It's a place where they care about making good grub and that shows. If you're near or going to be in the area, it's worth exploring.
(4)Matt W.
Best red and green chili burros in town! Friendly service and authentic food. Check it out! also, to get a 2 dollar plate of fried ice cream with flan and a deep fried shell is awesome, can't think of a better desert for the cost in the valley!
(4)Kennyatta P.
The burrito ruined the meal and that was the main dish. I ordered the carnitas burrito with side rice and beans. The rice and beans were great, not salty like a lot of other Mexican food joints. The burrito was mostly tortilla and the carnita I did get was dry and was not fresh. I had to remove most of the tortilla and add salsa so it would not by so dry. I would have giving this place a 1 star but the rice, beans, salsa, and chips were very good.
(3)Sherry T.
Stopped n sat. afternoon - what a mistake this place was!! It had to b the slowest most unfriendly place I have ever bn too n a very long time.... Asked our server , Betsy 4 more salsa and it literally took 17min. b4 she came back w/it . The other genius that was serving also looked @ us 3 times and said b rite w/u, NEVER came back !! They each had 2 tables and u wuld have thought they had a line out the door- they were both overwhelmed beyond my comprehension, never cn anything like it b4!! I took one bite of my DRY chicken ench. & spit it out n a napkin, NEVER did she ask was their a problem w/ur food .... I have bn a bartender 14yrs. and in the food industry for 28yrs. , it's bn 3.5hrs since we were n there and i'm still baffled on this horrible, rude service .... Don't know how they keep there jobs w/their poor attitudes.... NEWS FLASH - Ur customers pay ur bills !!!! I DID NOT want to leave her a tip but decided i wuld leave a dollar so mayb she wuld think twice and smile @ the next table, she didn't !!!! I wuld have left a 50% tip had my experience bn different.... You NEVER know what ur customer does for a living so watch how u treat people.... NEVER GOING BACK !!!!

Great value for a sit down place. Food was good. Getting into the parking lot was a little tight, but manageable.
(5)Cindy M.
Groupon took us to this restaurant today, we arrived at about 3pm and the restaurant was slow. Aaron was our waiter and led us to wonderful selections on the menu. We would rate Rita's salsa pretty close to the best salsa we have ever had! Aaron was also our bartender and he mixed us up two fabulous margaritas. We had Parrillada del Rancho for Two for lunch/dinner - the price was very reasonable for the amount of food that was delivered! The platter had freshly seasoned carne asada, grilled chicken breast and pork chop accompanied by grilled vegetables, served with rice, beans, pico and fresh tortilla's. No way could we eat it all and we definitely left with full tummy's and a nice to go box! Plus, we felt this was possibly the best Mexican food we have had in the eight years we have been visiting various Mexican food establishments here in Phoenix. Bravo Rita's!! We will be back and we will recommend you to our friends and family.
(5)Maria C.
A friend of mine and her husband and 2 kids went to this restaurant for the first time ever and just LOVED it! My friend picked a bit from everybody's plate and has this to say: Chicken tacos - fantastic! Chicken and rice soup - tasted as good as homemade soup!!!!! Rice - not too fluffy nor clumpy Beans - very good (and my friend does NOT like beans) Everything was covered with delicious white grated cheese. Note: very little to no English is spoken at this establishment.
(5)Nhu C.
One of best Mexican restaurant in the valley. Very low key but delicious. Love their homemade salsa and crunchy & hot piping chips as well as all their tacos (machaca, carnitas and lengua). Another favorite I love to get also is the cocido de res soup.
(5)Christopher S.
Very good Mexican food. The server was friendly but seemed overworked. The chips and salsa was excellent. I ordered the machaca chimi and it was very good. Did not come with rice and beans but was enough food itself. I would recommend this to people who want more than chain Mexican food.
(4)Courtenay W.
My hubby works out on the west side so he will occasionally drag the whole family to some resturaunt he has decided is well worth the trek. Rita's is one of our go to's for completely authentic Mexican. Rita herself is a classy business saavy gal from south of the border who knows her stuff and is a sweetheart to her patrons. The food is muy muy bien. Si es possible, triega una persona que habla espanol. Or you can just point to the number on the menu. Up to you.
