We were looking for a chill place to have tacos and we found Rita's. Cool vibe, super friendly staff, quick service and great tacos. The margaritas were pretty good also. Try the Espicy marg if you're looking for a kick. read more

Anyone who has ever skied Breckenridge knows that once the day is ended on the mountain, the real fun begins - for those foolish enough to head straight back to Denver... The line of traffic begins at the parking lot, and remains a parking lot until you hit the hill east of Idaho Springs. Yay, it lest not be that way... After you wrap it up on the hill, pack you gear up and head straight into the heart of Breck, where you'll find a gem of a little Mexican restaurant named Rita's. From 4pm to 6pm is a happy hour sure to please every level of skier that graces it's halls. The popular dish is the 3 taco's for either $5 or $7 dollars, depending on the meat inside. They come with a choice of beef or bean ($5), or chicken, steak, or fish ($7). Once you've decided on the meat (or lack there of) it's time to decide how you want them garnished. There is a bunch of options, each tasty in their own right, so that just about everyone can find a flavor to match their person... Top that off with a couple of $2.50 margarita's and a couple hours of window shopping the buzz off, and ta-da! Traffic is magically lighter. read more

We ordered two Cadillacs and we really liked it! The guy that greeted us and seated us was pretty cool. Environment had a very chill vibe. We were seated on the patio... It was pretty dirty and gross, but we went with it. My drink spilled a little when it was put on the table. We needed napkins, but there were none so I walked over to another table that had napkins so I could clean up the mess. It wasn't enough though. When the lady finally came back, she asked if there was anything else she could get us and we asked for napkins. She picked up the dirty napkins off of our table that I just got done using and tried to hand them to me. She seemed a little irritated that I wouldn't accept them. Before she walked away, we just told her to give us the bill. We ordered two Cadillac margaritas, chips with salsa, guac, and nacho cheese dip. It came to $62. If I had to do it all over again, I would just keep walking. read more

If I could leave 0 stars I would. Service was the biggest flaw in our experience. The servers were highly unprofessional, and at one point we're basically ignoring our table. I would highly recommend taking your money elsewhere. There are many restaurants on Main Street that can accommodate your needs...and Rita's isn't one of them. read more

With so much outdoor seating, this is a great choice for dining during COVID times. The tacos are cheap and filling and service tends to be quick! Only two or three tacos should fill you up for a quick lunch, and their black bean taco is a great option for vegans/vegetarians. read more

Small cute place to have drinks and appetizers. Loved it! the staff was super friendly and the food was great. Wish we would have had more time to visit again. read more

Margaritas are great! Chips and guac were fantastic as well! The service was very nice!

Nice taco bar in a downtown out of the way little place. Very good taco choices. Chicken nicely marinated with fresh white cheddar. Great, friendly service. read more

I didn't know this was a dive bar. My buddy and I walked by this place in search of something to eat. Apparently, he's visited this place in the past. After walking around, I was freezing so I hoped this place would be a respite from the elements outside. It was a small relief, but not much. One of the windows behind me was propped open for ventilation and it kept the place at a cold temperature. They had a decent happy hour special: $2.50 for a can of Tecate beer (you save a whopping 50 cents per can). $7 for 3 Tacos (it's almost like buy 2 get 1 free) The food was alright, I didn't think it was the best. They give you different options for topping your tacos which kind of complicates things- I think that's why our tacos took a while to come out. The tacos were served on 8 inch soft tortillas. I wish they were warmed up before they were topped because they seemed cold. The service was pretty good considering the double duty the bartenders had to do. The 2 bartenders working did all of the serving, order taking and bartending. read more

The ambiance at Rita's is cute and welcoming. It's a little divey but that's what gives it character, I found the tacos to be really tasty, however the rice was hard and overcooked and the beans were pretty plain. The different salsas were all great. You were allowed to pick 3, but our waiter brought us all 5. I had to ask for water about 6 times before getting it myself from the bartender, so you can say that service is not their strong spot. Other than that, everything was good. The margaritas were tasty, the portions were large and the food was pretty decent. Not sure I would go out of my way to visit this place, but it's not a bad spot to pop into if you're near. read more

Seriously yummy tacos, great music and friendly staff even in a busy night. Will be back for sure. Probably tomorrow for lunch :) The beer and margs were great too. Evil twin stout, mmmmmmm read more

10/10 recommend. The food and drinks were fantastic and our waiter was great. We got our drinks, chips, and guacamole quickly but our tacos were slow coming out so they took 2 tacos off the bill without us even saying anything. Will definitely come again! read more

Rita's - Paloma, Espicy margarita, chips, and guacamole. - Dive Bars Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

First time to try out. Very impressed. Went for trivia night, which was a lot of fun, but found the best margaritas in town, along with arguably the best bartenders. Extremely efficient and amazing to watch them whip out all their different margaritas and fruit drink options with a packed house. Had the beef soft tacos, which were pretty good, but it was "The Kenny" margarita that stole the show. I thought I made a great margarita until I tried that one. Amazing! I had three and could've kept drinking them all night if not for having to drive later. Place is small and was packed, which made for a fun vibe. Servers were friendly and worked their rears off to get all the food and drinks out quickly. Definitely one of our new "go to's" in Breck. Will be back very soon and often for more of those delicious drinks! read more

Rita's - Bar area - Dive Bars Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

I had wanted to go here for about a year. It just never worked out, they were either closed or the people I was with didn't want to go there. So I was very excited when we finally got to check them out! I will also make an excuse for the owner/ bartender, and what I am about to write. They were just about to close for "the mud season." I'm not sure how many more weeks after we were there that they would close for a short period. Another observation, some locals came in while we were there. The owner really perked up, and the locals seemed to love this place! Any restaurant that is a hit with the locals is where you want to go! I am also making an assumption that the one who was so rude to us was the owner. He didn't look like a "Rita," but he talked like he was in charge, and the other employees addressed him like they'd address an owner. When the owner let us in, we could already tell he wasn't happy to be there. And not happy for us to be there. Just a vibe about him. We were told that they were sheets of paper with options written out on them near the salt and pepper on our table, we could use those to circle our protein, tortilla type, our sauce, etc. actually a very cool and simple way to take our orders! We waited and waited while people who arrived after us were waited on first. It was happy hour, so if you order two of the same tacos you get the third free. A good deal! But I wanted to try three different types of proteins with three different types of preparation styles. They all came out pretty delicious! Afterword, we sat for about 20 minutes waiting for our check. When the owner came by with our check, he tossed it on our table without looking and just kept walking. He had tossed it right into one of our trays, right into the guacamole. It took us a couple minutes to get it cleaned off, we were all pretty miffed at the sleight. We had been sleightly unhappy with the service before this, wondering if we imagined it. But tossing the check directly into leftover guacamole while not looking at or acknowledging us, we could tell we weren't welcome. I also want to make a quick note. Some people are going to say "Who has leftover guacamole?" it baffles me too. But our friend was born and raised in Egypt, and only came here about one year ago. We will work on him, one day he won't have leftover guacamole. But the guacamole was clearly in his tray, back from the edge of the table. We had left room for the check to be placed on the edge of the table, but instead the owner chucked it right into the guacamole. So the food was pretty good. The service was awful. Maybe we just went to the wrong time of year, between the two busy seasons of summer and winter. Unfortunately because of how we were treated, I don't think we will be back. Also -- the queso? Definitely Valveeta and salsa. read more

Breck's secret gem! These is your apres ski place to be. It is a little hole in the wall with the BEST margaritas you will fine in Breck. My family and I have had many great nights here. Joe is our favorite bartender. Been there for years! Knows how to make the handmade margs right every time. Watch out he will talk you into chocolate tequila (never a bad idea). Bottoms up! read more

This spot did Togo ordering which was perfect for our first night in Breck when we just wanted good food at home! Quick service, fair pricing, and delicious food. read more

Great service, if it's busy be ready to scope out a seat. Bartenders and servers check on you even if you aren't sitting yet. Once you get seated food is quick. Loved the tacos. read more

Drinks and tacos were fine nothing special but nothing bad either. The guacamole and salsas were both really good. We also enjoyed sitting outside on main street.. hopefully the outdoor seating will continue after Covid read more

I was incredibly disappointed when the waiter made me feel guilty about my choice of margarita, implying that it was not a margarita that intense people drink. He then continued to insult me throughout my dinner. He publicly berated me in the restaurant because I'm on a budget. His behavior made me incredibly uncomfortable and I couldn't enjoy my meal. If you're 1. Dare say, on a budget 2. Not from Breckenridge 3. Looking to have an enjoyable dinner with kind people around you AVOID THIS PLACE AT ALL COST. too bad the waiter was so cruel. read more

SUPER dry meat. We tried the chicken and the pork and both were just dry as can be. I like their limited menu and their ordering system. The chips and guacamole we got were good. The drinks were okay, a bit expensive and not very strong. Overall a cute place and if the meat had any juice in it I would have given 4 stars. read more

I would have like to tried their margaritas (hand squeezed juice!), but I wasn't in the mood to mix tequila and bourbon. Interior has a hole-in-the-wall dingy atmosphere. The highlight of the night was doing a shotski. I told my friends that I've never done one before and I was hoping to do one at Breckenridge. Dude asked the bartender if he had a shotski, bartender replied not since 1980. Few minutes later, bartender exclaims look what I found from the time machine. Behold! A shotski! He said that he hasn't poured a shotski in 30 years (may be an exaggeration lol). Too bad another group wanted to steal our thunder and tried to take our shotski. Miraculously the bar had TWO shotskis. So if anyone needs drinking ideas, here's a great one. read more

Rita's - when you go to Breckenridge for snow activities, you gotta get your money's worth - Dive Bars Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

STAY FAR FAR AWAY! We were told to come get margs from here and we should have stopped there. Chips were out of a bag served with frozen guacamole only to later be paired with the worst tacos I've ever eaten. I do not say that lightly. I do not like leaving bad reviews but this one deserves it. Chicken tacos tasted reheated and the fish was even worse. To make it all worse the price is very expensive for way below average food. We spent $60 min the worst meal I've ever eaten. O STARS! read more

This is a great spot to stop with friends for a drink! The atmosphere is very casual, as it's downstairs in a basement. Their hand-squeezed margaritas are delicious and they have a huge assortment of tequila. If you want to get chips and dip you have to pay; chips are $3 and dips are anywhere between $3-$6. If you do order chips and dip, you'll want to add a second one, because they do give you a lot of chips. Their guac and queso are both very good! This is a great casual spot to go if you're in Breckenridge; I'm so happy a local recommended it to me! read more

Rita's - Rita's House Marg - Dive Bars Near Me - Breckenridge, Colorado

Waste of money. Tacos were horrible - no flavor at all. Hot sauce & salt couldn't even recover them. I got the pastor tacos & it just tasted like pineapple juice. Couldn't even taste the meat because there was no flavor at ALL. It tasted like pineapple on bread. Friend got chicken tacos and said it was edible but not great. Genuinely the worst tacos I've ever had & I'm Texan...I've had a lot of tacos. Even worse they were $4 each!!!! Friend got a mango marg on the rocks and didn't like it, we look over and see another table had left the same drink almost full. $12 drink and it was trash! I tell the server about the tacos and his response is "well everyone else likes it" as if I didn't see with my two eyes the look of disgust as other tables ate their food. It takes a lot for me to leave a review but this was absolutely ridiculous. read more

This place is a lot of fun if you like tequila! Pretty reasonably priced also! They have nightly deals, and when we were there they were playing trivia. read more

Service: very rude bartender with an attitude. Drinks: how do you call yourself a marg specific establishment and your house marg has orange juice in it. Did not taste like a marg and my boyfriend ordered the frozen mango marg. Tasted like a icy la croix, with no sign of tequila. Should've read the reviews, many included instances with the rude bartender which we experienced firsthand. read more

We had 3 nights in Breckenridge and came here for two of them! The service team was friendly and helpful. Everything is made fresh so taste of the drinks and food reflected it. read more

Whoever is behind the bar this evening is a very rude barkeep. You never get another chance to make a first impression. Walked in clearly not knowing where I was going, didn't get greeted by a single soul, got scolded for going the wrong way, and an eye roll to boot when I asked how to get to the patio. If *this* is your level of "service" I want nothing to do with you. Ever. Bubye. read more

Came here on a cinco de mayo excited that the kitchen was open. What a letdown. Carnitas tasted horribly, fish tacos made my girlfriend throw up. Queso con chorizo was ok, as was the guacamole. If you end up here and have to eat something, those two are safe bets. The rest is horrible. read more

Rita's has Killer Margaritas. I didn't have any food, so can't vouch for that. I really Enjoyed how each Marg is made to order with fresh squeezed juices. Don't shy away From a "Kenny" especially if he is at the bar. read more

Terrible service, we waited about 15 min before we were even greeted, and it took us an hour before we had to ask where our food was. The server was rude and when we asked to talk to the manager on duty, he was rude too. Very unprofessional. read more

Short review - Mostly an under 30 crowd with a good selection of Tequila average food and poor service Restaurant - Small but had good music and a decent vibe. Food - The guacamole and salsa was really good. Tacos were very bland. Can't say I would recommend going there to eat Service - The 2 stars reps how many times I had to ask for something; asked for my food twice, asked for a beer twice, etc. Guy behind the bar worked for 5 minutes and socialized for 5. Really poor. Now the guy who was making tacos was good; when he wasn't making all the food. Bottom line: socializing was a higher priority than customer experience. Especially if you were over 30; although the 30 something's weren't get served at rocket speed either. read more

Good was amazing. If you love spicy margaritas and amazing food, definitely recommend.

Stopped in for Beers and tacos. Ordered chicken and fish tacos. Chicken was so dry that it was difficult to swallow. Chicken had no seasoning - so no taste. Fish was not any better. Service was mediocre at best. Spent 5 minutes trying to wave down our waiter to get our bill. Will not return. read more

Fresh margaritas with friendly prompt service. Food and drink menu is simple and just makes sense. Had chicken tacos (3 for 2 special). Fast, fresh and tasty. Great red house made salsa for your tacos. read more

I am from New Mexico, so I rarely ever order tacos at a restaurant because 99% of the time they aren't worth the money, but these were delicious!!! My favorite were the chorizo tacos, very flavorful and fresh. Their drinks aren't watered down either. The atmosphere is fun and young and the staff are such nice, down to earth people. This will be my first stop the next time I'm in Breckenridge!! read more

Great drinks. Amazing margaritas. Beer for those who don't like real drinks. Tacos, chips n salsa. Chips are out of a bag from costco--imo, but the salsas are good and fresh. 5 for drinks 3 for food = 4 overall. read more

Holy Tequila! If you are a marg lover this is the place to be- the spicy marg is my personal favorite, but the Cadillac is great too! Queso and chorizo was great, as well as the tacos- you've got to try the double taco! It is a little small and the service is a bit slow but the music is great read more
