    This has easily become one of my fave dessert spots in Tucson! The quality of the shaved ice is…read moreSOOOOO good, closest thing to the actual real Hawaiian shaved ice. So many different flavor combinations to choose from that I haven't tried the same thing twice yet! My faves so far are the Sweet Hurricane and Dr Pepper SnoBlasts. I also love that they are open pretty late (until 10pm) and have a drive thru! Although we mainly eat inside becuz it takes me forever to decide on a flavor hehe Staff is always super nice and inside is always really clean. Looking forward to my son's first birthday cuz we plan on ordering the catering package (:

    Wow! I'm so upset I just now discovered this place! I pass by it all the time but you can't tell…read morewhat it is just from passing by! They should definitely invest in having some signage with pictures of the delicious concoctions! That would definitely cause people to stop in! We only came by because I Yelped the closest "ice cream shop" and they popped up with a few others but the Yelp pics got my attention and that was it! The inside is decorated in a beachy/Hawaiian-themed feel and super cute! Their large array of syrups are on full display. They also offer yummy drinks. I had their Tiger's Blood shave ice with ice cream & sweetened condensed milk on top - OH MY! I got the small but next time I'll opt for the mini as they are HEFTY-sized! The young girls at our service were super friendly and helpful. The only thing I saw that needed attention was their outdoor seating. Tables need a good scrub with soap and a power washer to clean the patio. We felt very welcomed and look forward to coming back very soon!

    Overall, great experience. Here's why: I'm not a huge "water ice" connoisseur, didn't grow-up on…read morethe east coast eating it so I don't love it out of tradition or nostalgia, I like it, but don't always love it. I mean, it's right there in the name, it's literally watery ice with some flavoring, so maybe it would peak for me in the crazy heat of summer when the cold is refreshing. However, add some frozen custard to make it a "gelati", and now we're getting somewhere anytime of year. I got the root beer water ice gelati, which means they start with frozen custard in the bottom of the cup (I love the vanilla), add some water ice on top to fill the cup, then add more frozen custard on top above the rim. Check out the pic I posted. My wife got the wild black cherry gelati. My rootbeer water ice was a bit bland, not strong enough tasting, her wild black cherry water ice was really flavorful and good. The frozen vanilla custard on both was excellent, rich, creamy and smooth. Every time I eat at Rita's I want to tell them 90% custard, 10% water ice. And they're always so incredibly nice they'd definitely do it. Next time! I keep saying that, seriously, next time! The service at this location was extremely welcoming and friendly, it was great. Atmosphere is bright and open, lots of light, colorful light board menus, lots of colorful, fun, happy signs with specials and such. The place is clean and well kept, comfortable, not too loud, with a slow steady stream of customers. Check out my pics of the inside. I think as far as water ice goes, compared to many other places, and I've had a few, though I'm not a water ice aficionado, Rita's is excellent. As far as frozen custard goes, Rita's is excellent. The choices and toppings are endless. I recommend Rita's. ***FREE WATER ICE DAY is coming up on March 20th. Great time to pop in and give it a shot, worth the extra to add some of that delicious frozen vanilla custard to your favorite flavor water ice.

    You don't find many places that serve custard, so I knew I had to stop by when I saw they did. And…read morewow, this place is insanely amazing! One of the best desserts I've had in a long time! I would definitely come back here often if I lived close, especially in the hot summer months. Staff was extremely friendly and seemed to enjoy walking us through everything they offer. My guy had never had custard before and enjoyed being able to have samples. You can tell everything really is made fresh. We got their Gelati with Strawberries N Cream (cream ice) and Vanilla Custard. When I say this was phenomenal, I am not exaggerating. The texture of both was divine and creamy and I could've eaten a tub full of it.
