Watching an experienced tortilla maker work is reason enough to visit. Her hands seemed to have a rhythm and memory of their own, effortlessly transforming simple dough into beautifully rolled flour tortillas. It's the kind of craftsmanship that's becoming increasingly rare and deserves genuine appreciation. Unfortunately, the finished product didn't quite live up to the performance. While the tortillas were fresh, they lacked the depth of flavor I was hoping for. They seemed light on either salt or fat, perhaps intentionally for a healthier approach, but the result was a tortilla that tasted muted. There was also a slight grittiness to the texture. I'm used to flour tortillas with a rich, savory flavor that are satisfying enough to enjoy on their own. We ordered several burritos, and while they were certainly good, they never crossed into memorable. Like the tortillas themselves, the fillings could have benefited from a bit more richness and seasoning to create a more satisfying bite. One small disappointment was the beverage selection. I would have appreciated the option of ordering a smaller drink. My jamaica was refreshing but considerably sweeter than I prefer. Then again, perhaps the old saying is true--everything really is bigger in Texas. As someone passing through rather than a local Texan from El Paso, I'm glad I experienced it once, if only to watch the artistry of those handmade tortillas. While the meal was enjoyable, it wasn't compelling enough to make me seek it out again. read more

First time eating from Rita's Burritos and we won't be coming back. We went through the drive thru for a quick bite at lunch. Simple order of one carne asada and one chili relleno burrito. My carne asada had little flavor, was overcooked, and was just meat inside a tortilla with no onion, cilantro, or salsa. The worst part was they gave us a different burrito from the chili relleno we ordered. Ok, this is simple enough mistake in a busy drive thru so my girlfriend walked in to correct the order. The people inside were rude and said "we were lucky to get another one (burrito)". They made the mistake and we are LUCKY to get it corrected. With so many good Mexican food options in El Paso just pass on Rita's Burritos and go elsewhere. read more

Rita's Burritos - CARNE ASADA burrito - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

This is a great spot for fresh authentic Mexican Burritos. Their Chile Relleno is by far the best in town. Their Barbacoa virtually melts in your mouth. The service is friendly but you will have to arm yourself with some patience as everything is done a la minute. So freshly made and made to order. Many locals come here every day as they offer a great value. They also offer aqua Fresca including Horchata. The ambiance is low key as they have an open kitchen with two counters where orders can be placed. The restaurant is very clean. This is definitely a great local gem for Burritos read more

These are the best burritos I have had in years I go every Saturday morning for my egg and chorizo and asada and chicharron and ask for only green salsa I highly recommend them read more

After 4+ years, this is still one of my go-tos for great burritos. The tortillas are amazing, and the various burritos are made fairly consistently (occasionally the ratios are a little off, but mostly they produce them consistently.) Chile relleno burrito with side of salsa verde remains my favorite, although they run out of those around/before noon most days. The carne asada, add queso and pico, is my second choice. (And I think the picadillo is excellent if you like potatoes more than I do.) I definitely prefer the salsa verde to the salsa roja. Both are spicy but I think the green has more depth of flavor. Service is always efficient and polite. It's mostly a drive-thru with a small outside seating area. read more

I was getting my oil and inspection at Master Lube, and he said I can't go wrong with Rita's. Warm friendly people greeted me and made me feel at home. Decided on a picadillo a la Mexicano, with extra onion peppers and tomate. Outstanding! I will be a regular when in the neighborhood. read more

Easily my favorite burrito spot I've found in El Paso. Easy drive thru, crazy good tortillas, and actually flavorful meat. I will definitely be coming back! I ordered 3 styles of burritos: - Red Chile Burrito - Chile Verde - Barbacoa (the best) I've heard a lot about the red Chile Burrito but in a all honesty I thought it was the weakest one. The red Chile was not super flavorful and had a bit of a strange taste to it. The Barbacoa Burrito with the green salsa was incredible. Probably the best I've had in El Paso. One issue I had with all of them was that the meats were a little dry. The salsa made up for it but they could definitely use some more juices in the meat. Overall: Decently priced, flavorful, fresh tortillas, with ample meat and weight to each burrito. I loved it and will come back soon! read more

The perfect little burritos with fresh tortillas. We were looking for something exactly like this, saw it on Yelp and the outcome was delicious! My family and I shared all different kinds of burritos so we could try them all. Here's our list, first being best: 1. Chile relleno 2. Red chile brisket 3. Picadillo 4. Egg and chorizo (add cheese) 5. Bean and cheese 6. Bacon and egg (add cheese) All of them were extremely good so it's really just your preference. We got the rajas/hatch chile and it wasn't anything special but that can always determine on the chile too. Our favorite part was the fresh tortillas. Also, it's a drive through! Lastly, red sauce is spicier than the green but both had great flavor. Ask for extra! read more

Ah the smoky sweetness of the Chipotle Pullled Pork. Wow! This is the best burrito in El Paso. It is not super spicy this morning but they have prepared salsas on the side if needed. I am a bit of a Guero so it is just right. Also had a red chile brisket which is right size, right taste. Just wonderful burritos that I am willing to drive to the west side for. Top it off will real Jamaica and this is a great breakfast. read more

1st time at Rita's burritos and probably not the last. The prices are fair and comparable to other places, I'm just basing it off barbacoa: 9 cents more than Valley Super Market but 10 cents LESS than Cazares. It's literally nickels and dimes but quality and ease is much more of a difference and makes it a STEAL of a deal. It looks like a chain since it's well branded and they have a website, but I believe they are locally owned. It's because of this chain-like appearance that made me hesitate to try it since hole in the walls are usually superior in cost and taste. I'm happy to say that my fear is misplaced. It's delicious and affordable! The stand out is the handmade tortillas (paper thin and pliable) it makes a huge difference in taste. The carne asada was tender and not gristly, the chipotle pulled pork was like bbq with a kick: sweet and spicy! The best part was that I went during the heat of the day and drive thru was soooo convenient and service was very nice. One caveat was that the sauces are really small and you have to ask for more, I didn't know and kinda regret not having more sauce since the carne asada was very plain (they might have boiled the meat and then seared on the grill...that's what it tasted like). You also have to ask for cilantro, onions and tomatoes, but they will add it to the burrito for you or put it on the side. All in all, this is a great alternative for a quick and inexpensive meal that's just as convenient as the fast food joints. Come try them out and #supportlocal and if you order on their website, they'll give you $5 off your first order per the sign in the window.

Going to give them 5 stars - 4 on the burritos and 1 on the great customer service. I love their breakfast burritos and their Chile verde burrito! The red Chile brisket also tastes great but the meat was chewy last time. Wish they'd let it slow cook another hour or so for a softer bite, but maybe that's how the locals like it. I went once going east, and made sure to stop by on my return trip. I'll be back again soon. read more

burritos are so good and the tortillas are to die for. My only complaint is the hours of operation, wish they were open earlier and closed a little later in the afternoon read more

I had seen this place advertised on local television for some time and had been dying to try it. I found myself having to run an errand on the west side of town, down by upper valley where it is located. I arrived right at opening (drive-thru only) and was happy to order two RCB (red Chile brisket) burritos for me and my wife. Unfortunately, these burritos were so spicy hot, the burrito was hard to enjoy and the flavor was lost in the heat. I didn't know if I was eating a burrito or swallowing the sun. After some time, I managed to finish the burrito but was still hungry. I decided to go back to give it a second opinion on a different burrito. I opted for the safer carne asada but was disappointed. Not much on flavor and a bit dry. Two burritos on two different ends of the spectrum. Burritos were a bit much at about $3.50 each. Might try it again hoping it was only a fluke. Hope your experience is better than mine. read more

The service was fast and friendly, and the price is super affordable, but the breakfast burrito was not good. Eggs were dry and overcooked and the bacon was rubbery. The one saving grace was the green salsa. read more

Food: their tortillas are the best for their burritos! The quality of the breakfast burritos is great! They add eggs, cilantro and onions in the burrito. The breakfast barbacoa one. Their customer service is quick, professional and very kind. read more

I hate writing subpar reviews, especially for small local business that I really want to love and support.... But. I've been to Rita's once before. It was great! I had a carne asada burrito that I added beans, cheese, and onions to. It was fantastic, juicy, and flavorful. I recommended Rita's to my family and friends. I dreamed of Rita's burritos. I went to Rita's again today. I've been craving it for weeks and was SO excited to get a carne asada burrito and try the RCB. I went through the drive thru and was planning to take it home to eat, like I did last time. Service was quick and friendly, I placed my bag on my seat (rookie mistake, I know) and went on my way. I took out the carne asada burrito on my way home to eat half of it and it wasn't the same as I remembered. Great tortilla, yes, but the meat was really dry and salty. I took out the RCB to try a bite and I immediately had juice from the burrito leak out of the foil and onto my legs and my shirt. I went to grab the bag to put the burrito back in it to eat at home and the saw the salsa sitting on the seat. Uh oh. I looked at the bag and it had completely soaked through the paper. I immediately moved it to the floor, where the bag busted open. There was juice from the burrito all over my seat. When I got home, I went to open the RCB and found the tortilla soggy on both ends. I tried cutting off the soggy pieces, but the juice from the burrito had already gotten into the rest of the tortilla, which made it really soft. I wanted to love it, and I tried to eat it anyway, but it ended up going in the trash The flavor was good, though it was really spicy. All in all, I couldn't get past the sogginess. It was sad. I'm not sure if this was just a one-off where someone didn't drain the meat properly before moving it to the tortilla, but I was surely disappointed. I was also super sad about the carne asada because the first time I ate it, it left me craving and dreaming of Rita's often. I'm sure the paper bags are made from recycled paper and are a way of being more sustainable, and I applaud that effort. But I really, really wish I had had a plastic bag in this instance. I'd suggest draining the meat more and putting the burritos with more juice in them in a small plastic bag inside the paper sack. read more

Love this place! There chicharrón burrito with beans and Jamaica water sooo good! I would definitely recommend, very fast too, the ladies are always very nice and friendly read more

Wow! A burrito that's a meal and packed with flavor and so much goodness. The chile relleno with bean on a fresh homemade flour tortilla is fabulous on its own but with their hot sauces it is next level. The barbacoa is a generous amount of meat with cilantro and lime with fresh onion and tomato and is also just great all by itself. A really sweet place to drive through for breakfast or lunch at a great price! read more

I used to work door to door sales, and this was our hotspot. The staff are very sweet, and the food is GREAT! I wish I had gotten a picture, but loved it, and so do my coworkers. And best of all, very cheap, despite being great quality! Good place to eat breakfast and lunch. The parking is quite tight, so I try to go beside the building, on the right when you pull in. All good vibes, and pretty quiet and easy going atmosphere. read more

They had a drive thru, so it was much convenient for customers. I was excited to try RCD, but I liked chile verde more. But both were all great. Lots of meat and saucy, but not too salty. Lastly, el lote en vaso was bomb :) read more

Rita's Burritos - RCD, Chile Verde, and el lote en vaso - Mexican Near Me - El Paso, Texas

I'm a big fan supporting small business venue, this establishment doesn't impress me. I asked for a cup of ice water (for my pets), the cashier said they only have bottled water (hmmm.... you don't have a running water in the kitchen to provide that??) With the summer heat in El Paso, I'm sure there are many patrons appreciating a big bucket of ice water while dining. Foods - simple straightforward, I like the fresh tortillas ( I had better in East EP) When asked for lime/lemon to pair with the burrito, they do not have it, the only condiments are red/green sauce, cilantro & onions- nothing else.... interesting!! read more

A friend invited me to join her at her new favorite burrito spot and they knocked my socks off! I easily would've passed by this place a hundred times and never stopped in without her recommendation. It's a small shop with limited seating inside and some shaded outdoor. They do need some more barstools for the counters outside, but that's just a minor complaint. The homemade tortillas are AMAZEBALLS!! They make them fresh UPON ORDER so your food may take a little longer than the average place, but trust and believe it's well worth the wait! The service is also excellent, both owners were there working and gave heartfelt personalized service. You can feel their passion for cooking and hospitality. The menu offers a nice variety of both breakfast and lunch/dinner choices, all reasonably priced. I appreciate that they offer both spicy and non spicy options. I couldn't decide between the Barbacoa and the Carne Asada, so I got both and ate half of each. Both were absolutely delicious, although I would give a slight edge to the Carne Asada, but you really can't go wrong with either. I also tried their refried beans con queso which were solid. They sell bottled sodas and water. I'm hoping they eventually acquire a fountain machine. All in all, this is a MUST EAT place in El Paso and I'll be a frequent visitor!! read more

OMG. Rita's . Everything- like everything is good. Best burritos in town. I love getting breakfast here.

Great burritos I go every Saturday the carne asada and chicharon and all there breakfast burritos are great I tried them all do recommend them the Barbacoa is very good just hate they close at 3 and they don't open on Sunday visit them read more

Burritos were on point. Been seeing the signboard for a minute and kept saying to myself I got to try their burritos one day. That day finally came, and I was not disappointed. Got two specialty ordered breakfast burritos, eggs, potatoes and chicken. Will be back again. read more

I love Rita's burritos, and my husband loves it too. We try to go there at least once every week or two. I always get enough for two meals for us and store one in the fridge for the next day. He likes the chile Verde with added onions, and I like the chile relleno and the picadillo. We also like the side of beans and the Elote. read more

Went to try this place out because I saw the owner post about it on a foodie group on social media and I wasn't disappointed. Initially this was supposed to be a drive thru stop for me but a crying hungry newborn, dictated I dine-in. I was promptly greeted by employees. Everyone is super friendly and they check on you periodically you to see if you need anything. I ordered a carne asada and a barbacoa burrito. The carne asada was tender and juicy and had a good flavor; not over seasoned. The barbacoa burrito was definitely my favorite. I don't really like barbacoa and only eat it when I crave it and I am so glad I ordered it here. Not too greasy and delicious. It came with some onion and cilantro inside. THE HIGHLIGHT: Those bomb handmade tortillas!! There is literally someone hand making them and rolling them in the restaurant (reminds me of my mom with her palote in the kitchen). I was tempted to ask if I could buy a dozen to take home. Downsides: No beans in my burritos. Maybe it's an El Paso thing to assume beans will be in there. Ritas shares a parking lot with several other businesses so parking can be a hassle, drive thru moves quickly though. read more

Do yourselves a favor and come check out Rita's Burritos. This was our first time and WELL worth the drive from the east side. Customer service was awesome as they make you feel like family that stopped in for a meal. I had the Chile Verde burrito and the pork was soooo tender and flavorful. My honey had a couple carne asada burritos and the meat was tender, juicy and full of flavor....the salsitas were spicy, but equally flavorful! Also, if you like aguas frescas, you are in for a treat because they're freshly made (like the rest of their food) and scrumptious. Thank you Mario!! We WILL be back read more

Im pretty picky when it comes to burritos. That said, I try to give the burrito a fair shake before nixing the place altogether. We ordered 3 different burritos to try out. The carne asada was alright. It tasted like reheated steak and therefore drier than I would have liked. The mole was pretty good. Tasted like a mole from grandma's house. The chicharron was in chile verde and was very fresh. Not fake or store bought chicharron. The smell alone announced it was very fresh but frankly off putting (smell wise). They ask if you want salsa and we tried the red. It was very watery but tasty. The tortillas were handmade before our eyes. That was probably the best thing but a good tortilla cant carry a burrito alone. The fillings have to be on point. I also got a corn in a cup and it tasted like canned corn. I didnt like it. The girl taking our order was very friendly and offered free samples, which was nice. Overall, I don't think I will return read more

Excellent fresh burritos, I love this place and go there as often as I can. My favorite is the chili relleno but I like several others too.

Must try! Rita's is what El Paso was needing....not just another burrito place but a nice, friendly establishment with high quality ingredients and excellent flavor. I've had about 80% of their menu and everything has been delicious....my favorites are the RCB(Red Chile Brisket) and the Chile Verde. My kids love the carne asada quesadilla and the bean and cheese. If you're a tortilla snob...you'll appreciate Rita's. They make them fresh and their recipe is spot on. Last but not least...the staff is very friendly and seem happy to be there. Always a pleasure! read more

OMG best breakfast burritos ever in my life at least on US soil. After hearing some rumors and gossips, I felt like checking out El Paso's burrito scene out of spur of the moment one weekend. Rita's Burritos is #1 in my book there now. The ladies were sweet and friendly. Amazing view how they knead, roll out, and cook up tortillas right in front of you. Next visit I'm definitely planning to starve myself hard so I can feast hard to try their other selections of fillings. read more
