    If I'm being completely honest, I was really surprised by this restaurant. My expectations were set low based on the reviews I read here, but I actually really enjoyed my meal. Things I tried at this restaurant included: Beef birria tacos Nachos Queso fundido All items surpassed my expectations. This was the perfect place for our dinner at the resort and breakfast spot the next day. This will be my go to spot if I ever stay at this hotel again.

    Eggs and bacon with pancakes

    Service was super friendly and fast. We didn't realize we could order just regular food until 1 pm until we sat down on Sunday - only a brunch menu. We opted for a breakfast burrito and eggs/bacon/pancakes - both also had a spicy hash brown included - not my favorite. Each table gets a basket of chips and salsa to start - those were delicious. If I ever return, I need to ask which menu is which during that time as it was confusing as a different one was posted outside. I would not return for the brunch menu again as it was just okay and not what I was looking for at noon.

    My favorite restaurant inside Harrah's casino. Overpriced? Yes, but hey still the best flavor & financial option inside the casino. Free chips & salsa. Margaritas on point--my fav is the Blood Orange Margarita, my bf's is the Watermelon Margarita, and my mom's is the Peach Margarita. Carne Asada Fries were thick with an airy crisp. Meat kind of lacking, but overall flavors were there. Combo Fajitas were my favorite. We got the large to share $37, came with 6 tortillas, sides of rice and beans, guacamole, and the fajitas itself. Gotta love the bell peppers. Flavors overall were there. Didn't like the birria ramen. The ramen noodle texture was thin and fragile, like instant ramen. Meat was tender but there was barely any. Overall lacking on toppings. Soup was salty, needed more lime to cut it. Not my favorite restaurant in the world and probably wouldn't recommend someone drive for this, but it's definitely the best choice if you're staying at Harrah's already!

    Queso fundido

    The service was great! Which is the 5! The food was a 3 For it being a Mexican restaurant at a resort, it was decent Tried the Birria Ramen, the meat was soft, the soup was flavorful, not all the noodles were separated (like it was from a block of noodles but a portion was still a block) The queso fundido was ok but I liked the chicharron with it

    Carne Asada Breakfast burrito
    Dave W.

    Stopped in for lunch before hitting the games and was pleasantly surprised! Cary was a sweetheart and she was quick, courteous, kind and jovial! The carne asada breakfast burrito was delicious and the combination of sauces & salsa really brought it all together. The atmosphere was festive and bright; I really enjoyed the view of the pool from the indoors! Next time I'm bringing my swim trunks! Cary! You did it! I appreciate your service given the size of the party!

    Saturday, 11-01-2025: My husband came to pick up his free gift from the casino gifting center. While we were here we decided to return to 'Rita's Cantina after a long while. We were happy there was no wait to be seated. Our server was very friendly but could have been more attentive. He brought out complimentary tortilla chips & salsa, which was very good. The o food orders came out quickly. My husband ordered the cheese enchiladas and I had the chicken quesadilla. Both meals were delicious and satisfying. This restaurant is decorated very nicely and it's clean. It's adjacent to the pool area with its tropical theme. One star off because it was a while before the server returned to the table so we could pay. Other than that, we would return here plus I got a military discount.

    Watermelon margarita

    Gina was our outstanding server. She was attentive, welcoming and very friendly. We shared a watermelon margarita pitcher and had the aguachile dish which all were very good. We will definitely come back and order the same dish! Thank you again Gina

    Combo plate with taco, tamale and enchilada
    Tanya D.

    Holy smokes! The food was fantastic here. Did a staycation and decided to grab a bite while we were here. The service started strong with our waitress, Gina coming to the table with waters in hand. Pro tip for sure, having water from the start always sets to tone for me. We ordered a couple margaritas and looked over the menu. Once the drinks arrived we were set on the meal. Combo plate and carne asada fries. Ok, the fries are under appetizers and they are a full blown meal plus some. The fries were perfectly crunchy and the carne asada so delicate. The tamales and enchilada were fresh as heck and gave a classic abuela made vibe. The food was such a large portion we couldn't eat it all so we packed it to go. Gina again was amazing. She brought a to go box. Silverware and extra napkins. Her attention to detail and focus on quality experience is so refreshing. 10/10 would come and will come again. Thank you Gina for matching the service to the quality of the food!!

    Fantastic Find: Cocina de Ledezma…read more After a hike, I was on the hunt for some great local Mexican food and found La Cocina de Ledezma--what a gem! The food was incredible and tasted fresh. I tried three different tacos and a Quesabirria, each packed with great flavor. Their birria was especially impressive--it's hard to find good birria! To top it off, there's a coffee cart across the lot with refreshing drinks. I had a Lotus energy drink, and my girl had a spritzer--both hit the spot after a long day outdoors. The service was as amazing as the food. The brother at the register was super friendly, sharing how they prepare everything with care, and his sister in the truck was incredibly sweet and courteous. The two girls at the coffee cart were also lovely and added to the welcoming atmosphere. Though I live far, I'll definitely be coming back. If you're in the area, I highly recommend stopping by for delicious food and great service.

There's tons of different food truck option, good vibes, and lots of tasty finds. Favorites for me were the fried rice bowls from Rice Yo Way (that garlic sauce is fire - so good. Get extra!). The Filipino food bowls from MK Kitchen was really good, too... tasted just like a home cooked meal. And, the absolute standout was the juicy, flavorful steak from Arayaki Hibachi. Oh, and there were a few funnel cake trucks, so I don't remember which one I got funnel cake from, but it was absolutely delicious. Only miss of the night was Raf's Shawarma -- waited almost an hour, and the meat was dry, overcooked and disappointing. The baklava was a soggy mess. And, that sponge cake thing tasted like it was growing mold. They even forgot parts of our order. The garlic sauce and salad thing was good, but never again. We learned our lesson. The wait was so long it just ruined the whole night. So, I'm gonna say skip that one and go to El Basha instead, cuz I still love Mediterranean food. Each time I've been there, there's been a different mix of trucks. So, that adds to the excitement. Can't wait to go back and eat my way through more trucks! Mahalo nui.

I ordered a breakfast burrito with eggs, bacon, ham, potatoes, and cheese, while I waited for tires to be installed at the tire shop across the street. I wanted sausage as well, but they were out at the time of my order. The food was made to order and came out nice and hot. The nice lady, Denia (I believe was her name), was pleasant and explained what was available. She also provided options for salsa (red or green) and supplied enough to last through the whole burrito. The burrito was good. All items were cooked well and melded together in the delicious flour tortilla. There was not nearly enough bacon as I just found bits and pieces throughout. The ham and potatoes were just enough and there was a good amount of cheese. A decent amount of eggs were in the burrito and were cooked just right...none were over cooked and I found no "crispies". The salsa was good. Hot enough for most and had good flavor, not just heat. The location is at the corner of Main and 5th streets. There were no tables or chairs to sit at, so expect to stand and eat or take it to go. All in all, if you want a solid, no frills breakfast burrito, don't hesitate to give this place a shot. I will the next time I'm back for tires or looking for a quick fix while in the area.
