Carne Asada Burrito
The D.

Smallest carne asada burrito I've had anywhere in Phoenix those are 11 1/2 inch tiles on the table so this thing is approximately 6 to 7 inches long not very big around either considering this thing cost close to $30. You would think it would be twice the size that it is.The other places very close by are double this size and almost half the price. I'll also add that they sent it with absolutely nothing else. No hot sauce or salsa whatsoever. This is a first for me with any Mexican place and they also did not put the extra lettuce on the burrito. I had to do that myself .With that being said, the meat was absolutely delicious full of flavor and the tortilla held together well however, for the amount of money spent, the amount of food was sad and the lack of salsa was even more sad. I highly doubt I will be a repeat customer, but I had to try them.

Checked out Rito's for the first time and overall had a nice time! The outdoor patio is super cute and perfect for a chill evening out. We tried both the margarita and the Paloma--both were a little too syrupy/sweet for our taste, but nothing that totally ruined the vibe. On the flip side, the chips and salsa were awesome. Loved the smoky flavor of one, and the other was chunky with these big slices of tomato and pepper--super fresh and flavorful. Would definitely come back to try more of the food. The setting and salsa alone are worth a repeat visit!

We ordered online for pickup during our lunch hour. The parking lot actually has room to park. There are a lot of places in this area. We arrived and were told to wait a few minutes for our order. While we were waiting some other people showed up so they were clearly getting the lunch rush started. I ordered a green chili chimichanga. My coworkers got some other items, tostadas, chips, and rice. Sadly there was no green sauce, only red hot sauce. The food was good and I appreciate how nicely packaged everything was.

This has to be my favorite Mexican food in central Phoenix. I love a good free chips and salsa! The chicken enchiladas with green sauce hit every single time.

Came here with colleagues hoping the food would be great since one of the individuals knows the ownership of family members. I normally order chicken enchiladas with green sauce which in most cases the center of the plate presentation is not drowning in sauce which was the case. Was hoping they offered a healthier alternative to the refried pinto beans. Chips were really fresh and to my liking and the salsa at first glance look like Pace Picante sauce which was not the case but it was nothing memorable. No issues with service and I just say that the burrito enchilada style was HUGE and if ordered this I would definitely have a food coma.

3 Stars for the Mesa location for Rito's. I've been eating Rito's off of 14th St FOREVER. I hate seeing mom and pop places expand. (Only for obvious reasons, I do like seeing all people succeed in life) That location was and is the best of all locations. They were always busy and never had a slow moment during business hours. Prices were low, staff was amazing, word of mouth had everyone coming from all over. Once they expand, especially into a big newer building and having many more people to staff prices go way up. $13 for a green chili burrito and then $6 to add rice and beans is very expensive for most people. Add $7 for "enchilada style" or get a chimichanga and it's a meal that should be served with white gloves. I get that the cost of business has increased over the years but somehow it's gotten out of control. This location is very hit or miss. Some days you'll stand in the lobby forever waiting on someone to seat you and then wait just as long for someone to come over and take a drink order. The food quality itself is still pretty good. My last visit everything was great. I would just like to see a little bit more consistency across the board here.

Carne Asada Tacos were spectacular! Steak was melt in your mouth & came with a very nice dollop of guacamole. My friend found this restaurant on tiktok of all places. The service was friendly right off the bat, and the bartender Missy was very energetic & lots of fun! The bar backs up to the patio, with great atmosphere and lighting. We were in from out of town, so many thanks for the staff for the other recommendations! Missy, 8.7/10 on the ice cream!! I recommend anyone in the area become regulars at this restaurant, I know I would.

Deep fried Green Chili Burrito
Sachelle H.

Service was great and so was the food, nice and flavorful! Restaurant is always clean and the ambiance is casual, busy with nice people and smiling faces. Music is mellow which is a plus and the house margaritas are my fav here.

I have tried the 7th st location more than once get food from this location. I got salsa that look like it was used dry crust outside like you had an open for it out. The burritos was cold on the inside loop the rice didn't look like it was partly burnt. Beans dry. Picked up at 7:15p 5/12/26. we ordered $50 worth of food and it was terrible

I was in the area meeting friends for drinks and they were late, so I went across the street to see what was spelling and it was Rito's!! I walked in and it was clean and cute little cafe style Mexican food. I didn't know what I wanted so the hostess gave me a menu and I ordered a beef taco with rice and beans. My order came out quickly as it was their last 30 minutes before they closed. The taco was crispy and savory and my sides were perfect! I will definitely be back for more tacos and to try a burrito or chimi next time!!

Is this Rito's associated with the ritos off Roosevelt? Meaning is it the same tacos and food?

Same tacos and food! 🤗

What days/times are your happy hour?

Hi! Our Happy Hour is everyday from 2pm-6pm!

I have a group of 8-10 coming on Thursday at 1:00 PM (after the lunch rush) Is Rito's (Crown) large enough to handle them?…

Definitely large enough - they can push tables together and there's outside seating!

There's something so cozy and welcoming about this spot that makes it feel familiar every time we walk through the door. One of my favorite things to order here is the chilaquiles. I usually switch up the meat depending on what I'm craving, and this visit I went with chorizo. The tortilla chips have that perfect balance of crisp edges and just enough sauce to soften them without turning soggy. The chorizo adds a savory, slightly smoky richness, while the toppings bring everything together with fresh, bright flavors. It's the kind of breakfast where every bite has a little crunch, a little spice, and plenty of flavor. I also love ordering a fresh orange juice alongside my coffee--it's become part of my usual routine here. There's something about fresh OJ with a comforting plate of chilaquiles that just makes breakfast feel extra special. The service has consistently been wonderful, and the atmosphere is warm and comfortable without feeling overly formal. After all these years, Presidio Cocina Mexicana remains one of those spots I genuinely enjoy returning to. Good food, great service, and that cozy neighborhood feel that keeps you coming back.

I think I just found my new favorite Mexican restaurant!…read more The ambience here is charming. It's located in what looks like an old house, painted on the outside in a dark red paint. There are roses hanging from the ceiling, exposed brick, and colored lighting (would you notice more as the sun goes down). The wood ceilings really make this place special. There is a small bar in the corner. Don't forget to look up because there is a little door above with the guardian angel and children painted on it, and a couple of stained glass windows. From the minute we walked in, we were meeting with smiling faces. When you first walk in, you are inside the kitchen or at least right next to it. We started with a couple of drinks - a Corona and a Diablito, a sotol cocktail with lots of pureed mango. A basket of chips and a bowl of Green dip or brought to the table, and we were directed to the salsa bar back near the entrance. The salsa bar is fantastic, with several different kinds of salsa. We grabbed what tasted like a creamy tomatillo salsa, a pineapple salsa, a pico de gallo, and a creamy Serrano salsa. They were all so good that we couldn't say which was our favorite. I know that pineapple salsa just sent me over the moon! For an entree, hubby ordered a Sonoran burrito. He said the burrito was delicious, and kept pointing out how good the guacamole and side was. It wasn't especially big or small. I ordered the fajitas (steak and chicken combo) and the minute they came to the table sizzling, both my husband and I were surprised at how large this portion was. It was served with tortillas (you get your choice of corn or flour), black beans, and rice. The black beans were good - - I suppose they just tasted like black beans. I was surprised at how delicious the rice was because it's white and I expected it just to taste like white rice. But there was a creaminess to it and a flavor that I couldn't put my finger on but that I know was really yummy (butter, maybe? Cheese, maybe?? Idk). Good meat in my fajitas was super tender and the veggies were grilled just right. This was a really common really delicious meal. This place had been on my list for a long time and now that I finally been here, I'm kicking myself for not coming here sooner. The food was fantastic, the prices super reasonable, and it's set in a cozy, romantic setting. This place is going to be on a regular rotation for us!

To die for. Chips are gratuit. Service is prompt and knowledgeable. The entrance is via the kitchen as this was once a home, now converted into a great eatery. So you come in the side door to the dining room . Wait staff all greet you and guide you to the dining room, festooned with roses and talavera tiles. It's not kitschy, just gorgeous. The menu is ample and you can't go wrong with anything. The initial refrito dip, tho yummy, has pork. But they have the best, the absolute best black beans!! Try them just for a change. You'll be converted. The dining area is small but cozy and beautifully done. So enjoy!!

Totally let down by the food but their green and dark salsa is GOOD and their draft beer is ice cold. Got there, guy at the front didn't know the menu (I'm not from in town) and he pressured me to order more food than what I wanted even though I said I only wanted two tacos. Ended up getting peer pressured into their rice and beans ($8!!!), two tacos, and a draft beer (don't get me started on the beer ordeal). When I got my food, the rice and beans consisted of a a 1/4 c scoop of mushy white rice but the beans were DELICIOUS. Tacos arrived cold as ice. Let their team know it was cold and ended up taking 20+ minutes for my two tacos to come back even though it was a slow evening. Lot of attitude served when first getting the tacos, and while they gave chips about 15 minutes after waiting for the second cook, the tacos came back barely warm and SO salty. I'd love to come back for the green salsa, beans, and ice cold beer.

My experience with Mexican food has admittedly been rather limited, largely revolving around the…read morefamiliar rotation of tacos, burritos, and the familiar assortment of rice and beans. While I've had some phenomenal street tacos in LA and Mexico, I've been wanting to explore more of its diversity, particularly the seafood traditions! We came with a healthy appetite and ordered the Mega Molcajete, El Pulpazo, and Camarones Locos. The complimentary ceviche tostadas were a promising start! Fresh, vibrant, they immediately set my expectations high for quality and freshness of the seafood to follow. The Mega Molcajete was a showstopper. The dish arrived as an extravagant spread of grilled meats, shrimp, octopus, lobster tail, fried fish, and more. Visually spectacular, and with flavors that lived up to its presentation! El Pulpazo deserves its own praise. Octopus is notoriously unforgiving. There's a fine line between beautifully tender and unpleasantly chewy. I've had my share of disappointing renditions to know that an impressive char means very little if the texture isn't right. Fortunately, this was executed well! Fantastically seasoned, with a lovely charred exterior, and cooked to the right doneness! The Camarones Locos were another highlight! We loved the flavors of the sauce! Since we had children with us, our waitress graciously accommodated our request to serve the sauce separately to control the spice level! We also had the Mango Diablo, which provided some much-needed tropical refreshment from both the Arizona heat and the fiery kick of the dishes themselves! A few minor drawbacks worth mentioning. The parking can be tricky, as the lot is rather small (we were fortunate to snag the single remaining spot in the lot). This was also not an inexpensive outing. Our bill (for the aforementioned orders above) came in just under $300 (tax and tip included). That said, I felt the experience justified the splurge!
