“ Brought my team here for a meeting lunch and everything was delicious! The drinks are watered down though so be aware of the margaritas during happy hour. Staff is accommodating but ya gonna stay on them. Once they know what you want they take care of ya! Atmosphere and design are very good for the location. Prices are reasonable. Salsa both green and red are outstanding! Give em a try! ”
“ Been here over a dozen times now and it’s always fantastic. The food is fresh, the margaritas are tasty and a good price, and the service is always good and friendly. Everything is seasoned perfectly. They make my favorite refried beans out of any restaurant I’ve been to. I also love the chips and both the red and green salsas are awesome. Both the corn and flour tortillas are great too. The quesadillas and enchiladas are noteworthy because they’re absolutely loaded with cheese and meat/veggies. I like that they offer a good amount of vegetarian options too! The portobello and spinach quesadillas are seriously delicious. Obviously the fajitas are good too. The lunch menu and the happy hour prices aren’t too bad! I’ve tried at least half of the items on the menu and every single one is outstanding. I’ve even been to the location in Pinehurst and it was just as good too. I can’t praise Rita’s enough! Easily one of our favorite restaurants. ”
“ I stopped here and don't live in the area, and what a disappointment that we don't. The food was excellent, the service was terrific. If your in the area, then stop and have some delicious food. ”
“ Delightful Mexican Cantina in Houston, Texas. Rita’s does an admirable job serving excellent Mexican fair. Webster County, Texas has over 2300 Mexican restaurants. That’s 17% of all the Mexican restaurants in Texas. Rita’s stands out in that 2300. Immediately, you’ll know you’re at the right place with the warm (temp) roasted tomato salsa, and the tomatillo salsa. For this visit we ordered the tortilla soup with shredded chicken. Piping hot and served with a side of rice. The soup is loaded with tortillas, jalapenos, fresh avocado, shredded chicken, and a light topping of Mexican cheese. Ashley provided the perfect amount of service and a cheerful and lovely smile every time she visited the table. Highly recommended ”
“ Everything was delicious. Fast and friendly service. Very reasonable prices. ”
“ It is one of the best tasting, scratch Mexican restaurants I have visited in a while. I loved the decor. I had the street tacos with barbaco (beef). Let's talk about the Charro beans. They had "The BEST Charro Beans" I have EVER tasted, HANDS DOWN or UP, EVER!!! Me & Dean always critique a Mexican restraunt by the charro beans. Come on now, if you own a Mexican restraunt & YOU DONT have great charro beans.....for us, it's almost a deal breaker. Bravo. Whatever you are doing...KEEP it up! ”
“ I got the chicken Fajitas. It was great, but I wish there were more variety of grilled vegetables. My plate had 98% onions. Maybe that's the way they like it. And 4 for a fountain drink is a bit high. ”
“ Everything was absolutely delicious! Everything was fresh. The drinks were excellent. Definitely a 10 out of 10. ”
