5.19.26 Again great service, great food and clean restaurant! I ordered the tostados again because they were so good on our first visit. I also ordered a side of grilled onions without bell peppers. They were also delicious! I will be ordering these with every meal! Hubby ordered tacos el carbon. Said they were good too. Keep up the great work. Definitely returning. read more

This place has the most delicious red sauce! Ahhhmazing!! I had the chicken fajita enchiladas!! Also delicious!! Great food and great service!!! read more

Do not order take out. The last 3 times they have forgotten food on both door dash and on pick up. the food is great but you need to check every single thing. Tonight no beans. No tortillas. Tired of not getting the order correct. Ugh looking for a new restaurant read more

Omg! Everything we have ordered here had been exceptionally delicious! I dream about those seafood enchiladas and taquitos/flautas!

Finally tried Rita's after years of hearing reviews. Went in on Memorial Day and not many people were there. Service was attentive and quick. We started with white queso & ground beef in addition to the gratis chips and queso. The queso and ground beef really hit the spot it was the right consistency, not too thick and not too runny with a great flavor. Chips are average. I ordered the carnitas and my wife ordered the pork fajitas while my son had the kids taco Al carbon. I enjoyed the carnitas although I've had better. The meat had some crisp on the outside and was tender and pulled apart well on the inside. The beans and rice were average, nothing special. I did like the pickled onions and jalapeño garnish along with the salsa they added. My wife and son seemed to enjoy their dishes as well, although I didn't try either of theirs, they looked pretty good. All in all a good experience but I think this place gets over hyped a bit as it didn't blow me away the way so many people seem to say. read more

The waitstaff is amazing....All of them. The atmosphere is full of groups and families, televisions everywhere and it's a fun place. The first we ate there it was fabulous, tonight not so much. The rice is the best, but the rest so, so. They don't rush you because when we were there, not a large house of people. I attribute that a holiday weekend and prices are high. We will stick the place across the other of the road. The plates looked lovely.. . read more

Best Mexican Food on this side of Houston. Their fajitas are cooked exactly as ordered and a real treat are the homemade corn tortillas with all of the fixings. Their cheese enchiladas are oozing cheese and the enchiladas gravy is a perfect complement. We tried their white cheese queso with the tomatoes and jalapeños and it was perfect, we devoured it, I wish we had room for dessert because I have heard their quatro leches is excellent. Next time we will save some room for dessert. read more

Best food and margaritas in town! We have a great experience every visit. Friendly staff as well! read more

Amazing fajitas! Great salsas , solid chips and awesome white queso. Wonderful service and extremely friendly staff. We throughly enjoyed dinner. read more

Twas a busy night on this corner lot of a strip, just north of Tomball. My brother and I met with some friends to catch up. The place was hopping. Ambience is casual, seating is a little tight. The food took a minute or two to come out because they were so busy. So the breakdown: 1. chips and salsa. The red sauce was good, green sauce needs a bit more flavor. Overall solid. That's a baseline necessity. 2. Queso Blanco. Fantastic. Thicc, and flavorful. I don't usually do queso, because the disappointment can be disheartening, but I was pleasantly surprised. 3. Carne Asada. Very good! It was cooked medium to medium rare. It sliced very easily, and came with the normal sides. I was happy with the choice. 4. Pork fajitas (honorable mention). I didn't have these but two of our party did, and enjoyed them. Apparently worth it in case you are wondering. 5. Margaritas. These were average. Nothing special. Overall, a good option in the Tomball/Cypress playbook. read more

I am a fan! I went during Red Fest last year. After walking all day we wanted a good meal. We found this spot and it was a hidden gem. I just moved back to Houston and found it they are 15 minutes from my new house and super excited. The red salsa is life. The quest flamed is delicious. Tortillas on point. tres Leches cake is heavenly. Definitely some good food. The margarita was not as strong as I would have liked it but eh the food is great. Great little spot for some great food. read more

Rita's is very good. Great service. Compared to every other Mexican restaurant in tomball area they are at least Top 2-3. Small place but don't let that fool you. read more

Thank you Yelp ! What a great place to have dinner, Rita's Cantina Mexican Kitchen is one of those places you need to try . Nothing fancy, just superb service, wonderful food and the best hospitality! For the food : Chips - fresh and hot Salsa - green and red, both are great !! Charro Beans - good Beef Fajitas- Excellent! I'm sure you expected all the above, but the service is second to none ! My glass never got half empty and I was asked numerous times if I needed anything. The owners wife came by when I finished and asked if she could bring me a piece of Quattro leches cake ? Yes, I said YES!! It was the BEST!! Bottom line, if you are ever in the Tomball, Texas area, go and give them a try. Go get Full read more

We have been searching for a legit home cooked Mexican place for months and being Mexican myself let me just say this hit home 100 percent. Reminded me of my mom and grandma's home cooking and we can't wait to eat our way through the menu. It's a great little place the owner and waitresses are super nice and the drinks are nothing I have ever had before a coconut margarita and mango mojito just to give you an idea. Do yourself a favor stop by and have some of the best enchiladas, fish and shrimp tacos. Did I mention the tortillas are fresh and the white cheese was to die for. And the cake was fabulous. That's what we had today next time it's breakfast. Enjoy. read more

Rita's Cantina Mexican Kitchen - a desert with whipped cream, strawberries, and blueberries - Mexican Near Me - Pinehurst, Texas

I grew up (or at least older) in El Paso, the home of great Mexican food. With that said I thought I would try this place that is compared to my home town. This is a small place maybe 50 seats, very cozy. I judge a Mexican restaurant by their chips and salsa, they serve both a green and a red, both were flavorful and not over spicy. I was excited to see Chile relleno on the menu as it is one of my favorites. The relleno were very good, maybe not Avila!'s but probably the best I have had in Houston. The enchiladas were tasty and I have to say the beans were very tasty. Service was very good. All of the staff of about 3 pitched in and mass such everything went very smoothly. I recommend you try this place it is very good read more

one of our favorite go-to spots in Tomball. quick and easy, yet yummy and cozy. plus the staff are amazing, they treat everyone like family. anything with pulled chicken is great, but my favorite is the carnitas street tacos, tasty! flour and corn tortillas are both fantastic, and their breakfast is outstanding too! plus their prices are still reasonable, while most Mexican restaurants in town have become overpriced. we love Rita's! read more

Amazing dinner!! The beef fajitas were absolutely cooked to perfection depending on the way you like it, with a fair price range for the fajitas. As well as the service (Veronica) our waiter checked up on us asking if we needed anything and all in all gave us a very welcoming experience! Would highly recommend to everyone if you wish to try some authentic Mexican food! Will definitely be returning again! read more

I enjoyed this place as a first timer. The food was good and the service excellent. But my drink order wasn't correct and my lunch combo was missing a taco. I still had plenty of good food! and the drink provided was fine. Just would appreciate a bit more attention to detail. I just realized I am saying service was excellent yet my order was incorrect which conflicts. Let me say the service was warm, welcoming and attentive. A bit more detail on orders would elevate service to "perfect". read more

The chips were good and crisp. The salsa was delicious. I had the two cheese enchiladas that were supposed to have chili gravy but instead had the red chilli sauce for which I am not fond of. I didn't say anything because I was too hungry to wait for my meal to be corrected. The beans and rice were very good. I would return again. read more

I've been here twice, once for breakfast and once for takeout. The food is fantastically fresh and the people who work and run the restaurant are very personable.

This place is fantastic!!! The food is authentic!! Everything is so fresh!!! The crispy tacos were everything I wanted. Shells were absolutely CRISPY!!! We had the sweetest server named Faith but she wasn't the only staff member that was attentive to us. Faith kept a smile on her face and that was certainly pleasant. The desserts we had pushed us over the top. The churros and tres leches were pleasing to the eye as well as the bellies!! Thank you everyone and Faith. We will absolutely be returning and very soon. read more

I wish I could give more than five stars! We Could not have enjoyed it more. The service was excellent; the food was beyond amazing. I could drink the green sauce. Judy and Javier, the owners, are the perfect hosts. Javier checks every plate and bowl leaving the kitchen for perfection and Judy makes sure everyone is taken care of. So friendly. The dessert. Omg the dessert. Churros filled with dulce de leche, stacked like Lincoln logs into a two layer square. Then the inside of the"house" is filled with homemade whipped cream, drizzled with more dulce de leche And topped with the freshest fruit. Omg. Best thing I've ever put in my mouth! Seriously. Tears were in my eyes. We moved from the other side of town to magnolia last week and I'm so happy to now live close to Rita's! read more

Great food and the staff are always welcoming. Love how they always remember us and treat us like family.

Was in the area getting some work done on my car and saw this place rated quite nicely on here, so decided to give it a shot. I'm going to start with my review on their dessert, yes, their dessert... They have this cake called a cuatro leches, not a tres leches ladies and gentlemen, a 4 leches. I ain't Mexican, so I don't know where the best tres leches cake is in houston, but uhhh, I ate this cake in like 2 minutes. It was deeellliiishus. It really took the cake. lol Okay, had two of their house margaritas and they were pretty good. For our main plate, I had the enchiladas verdes and wife had the pescado relleno plate. Both of these plates were amazeballs. The chips and their sauces they give are both delicious as is their chile con queso, we had the white version. Must say, this place was legit and quite frankly I wouldn't mind driving up here from katy to enjoy this little place again sometime very soon. read more
