Absolutely love this place! I’ve always driven by it (since childhood) and finally stopped in last weekend. OMG! Why did I wait so long to try this place out?! Their menudo is soooo good!!!! It’s really hard to find a place that has good menudo! You have to try this place!!!!!
Wow!. 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.
The toritos with shrimp in them are amazing!
The best shrimp cocktail. 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!!
