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. read more

Tried the famous Red chile beef with good results. I added rice to the burrito. The beef chunks were pretty tender and the red Chile wasn't that hot. It was $14. If you want chicken. It is not white meat. read more

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! read more

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. read more

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. read more

This is a great place to grab a to go meal. I ordered the carne asada burrito with an additional side of guacamole. The meat had just the right amount of kick to it. I love guacamole, so I smothered it on with the addition of some sour cream that I had at home. This was definitely filling for a lunch. This place is on the radar for their patio when the weather cools off! I'll be back! read more

I ordered lunch to go so when I turned up to pick the food up, I saw that the pick-up window was closed. I walked into the nicely air-conditioned restaurant and was told that I could wait at the bar. Water was offered to me and the food arrived within a couple of minutes. I drove home and enjoyed a wonderful spicy burrito with beans and rice. The outdoor patio looked enticing for when the temperature cools off. Lots of parking here. I will definitely be back. read more

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. read more

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!! read more

Their beans and rice are UNMATCHED. I love ritos. I also love all their margarita flavors.

They always run out of food. That's kind of amateurish in my opinion. Multiple times we've placed an order to ultimately be told that "we're out of this or that" For the amount they charge you would think they would have their act together. This review is specifically for this location only. read more

The food wasn't that good. I had the crispy chicken tacos and the beef taco. Maybe I'm too picky but it just wasn't great. The best part was the chips and salsa. read more

Great experience and customer service. The cashier was so kind and accommodating. I appreciate his kindness. We love ordering from here!

My husbands favorite Mexican food...at the south phoenix location. How does a burrito enchilada style ala carte cost over $20. It's not big enough to feed two...it's just a burrito! Was it good? Yes. But not that good. Staffed with young girls who stood around on their phone leaving us at the door to be seated for a ridiculously long time. After being seated again waited a crazy long time to be served. We were 2 of 6 people in the whole place. If you want to charge the prices you do...step up the service. I'd be curious to see the menu at the other location and its prices. read more

This was hands down one of the best authentic Mexican restaurants we've ever visited. We enjoyed it so much, we came back a second time during our trip to Phoenix. I had the chicken tacos and street corn--both were absolutely delicious. The restaurant was clean, and the staff was friendly and helpful. Highly recommend if you're in the area! read more

Another great visit to Rito's during a recent trip to AZ. Stopping in during our trip is always a must for the amazing food and great atmosphere. We truly love the vibe of the restaurant and the friendly staff. The manager (daniel) personally made sure we had everything we needed and were taken care of. Highly recommend stopping in and giving Rito's a try! read more

Great service! Incredible food! Family friendly! Every time we visit, prefer sitting out back, especially in late Oct or spring, the seating allows for incredibly pleasant experience. read more

False advertisement. No Rito's ranch waters were available. Take the sign down if you do not have the ingredients needed.. The staff is always friendly. read more

This place was fantastic. Friendly service, and a cute little vibe in the restaurant (there's also a patio but we didn't sit out there). Food was incredible - chips and salsa were a highlight, but the queso fundido was out of this world. Also, the blackberry margarita is a solid 12/10. Highly recommend giving this place a try! read more

Totally overpriced. Bean and guacamole tostada was $8. A 4-sip Margarita was $13. I paid $26 for average food. If I added meat it was an additional $6 I believe. That was definitely my first and last time at Rito's I can go to Wholefoods for these types of prices! read more

Food was phenomenal as always and came out super quick. Unfortunately the service just wasn't good tonight. The bar tender was very slow. Assuming it had to be her first day or week. The restaurant was empty and it took a long time to get a server and to get our drinks. The drinks also weren't good unfortunately. read more

Went on a Sunday morning for early lunch. It was pretty dead when we got there and sat outside. Service was kind of slow. Food was good. I had hard shell tacos and rice which were yummy.

I came here with some friends for a work lunch. I had been told about how this was some sort of "legendary" place, so I was surprised to see that it was some generic place that could be replaced with a juice bar without changing the decor. But then I was totally shocked that there was NOTHING vegetarian on the menu other than (and I quote the server) "folded cheese thing" (she meant a quesadilla). And to be honest, I do wonder if the tortilla was actually vegetarian, but the server was not really interested in finding out. (Service could be better.) It is weird that the menu on the surface seems to have things that could be vegetarian. For example, they make cheese enchiladas, but nowhere do they label them as non-vegetarian. Why would you even bother to eat cheese enchiladas if you also ate meat? I get people do not need to cater, but it's 2024. There are enough vegetarians to have some options on your menu - or be more forward about it. I had to ask the server to find out the things that seemed veg were not. I could understand a small hole-in-the-wall somewhere, but this was as far from a hole-in-the-wall as one might get. My colleagues seemed satisfied with their meals, but I had a pretty boring quesadilla and had to pay extra for anything to put on it (guac, sour cream). Oddly, the salsa wasn't even very flavorful. It was mild enough my mom (who thinks Taco Bell is spicy) could have eaten it. All in all, it was just a meh experience for me. read more

6/29/24: OMG, was Rito's good! They won the trifecta: superb service, delightful decor, fantastic food. If you have not tried Rito's Crown location, you are missing out on mighty fine food. Long version: we wanted decent Mexican food for lunch and we definitely had that at Rito's. Off the bat, there is a large parking lot to the east of the complex. We arrived around 2:30 or so and there was also plenty of street parking. Could be a totally different story for dinnertime. It is not a huge restaurant but it is well designed on the inside (seating and decor), plus they have a nice sized patio on the west side of the building. The picture shows umbrellas; I did not notice misters. Needless to say, we opted to sit indoors to escape the heat. Chips & salsa were deposited onto the table within seconds of being seated, shortly followed by water. Bonus: they did not bring straws with the water. I did get one with the horchata, EXTRA BONUS: it was compostable! That's a great thing in my mind. The horchata? Some of the best I have had, and I have had it from many different restaurants because I love it. Our server, Missy, was pulling double duty as the bartender. Amazing. Not only was she funny and polite, but she did not even have to write down our order; kept it all in her head -- and did not screw it up. She absolutely deserved the 20% tip. The other servers were also punctual with water refills and clearing off our plates; I wonder if they receive a portion of the tip ... ? This complimentary chips were thick & crispy (they paired well w/ my side of beans). We ordered quite a bit because we wanted leftovers for dinner. The crispy beef and crispy chicken tacos were great (although I did nab some of my sisters sour cream to dab on them), and the side of beans were so good. My sister's three way burrito was huge and well seasoned. If you see her plate there is hardly any room left on it, thanks to the heaping sides of beans and rice. I highly recommend Rito's Crown location. read more

The chips were a little overcooked but the hot sauce was great! The bean burro enchilada style with green sauce was great, very good flavor. The mixed bean and meat burro was excellent.

great food and happy hour! we come to this place once a week and have always had a great experience.

Food was absolutely amazing! Will be back for the ground beef taco! Services were a little disappointing. Had to tack our waitress down for a new a drink order and when I flagged the other server she wouldn't take our order and said she'd find our server, so we continued to wait... also I overheard our server talking about the Happy Hour menu. When I asked to see it and why we weren't offered the happy hour menu, her reply was "well sometimes they just don't make it to the table" Will still return read more

I'm so grateful to the woman who was seated next to me on the plane this morning, because but for her, I most likely would not have stopped here for lunch today. The green chile burrito, enchilada style, blew my mind. I got the rice and beans, and they were so good! Service was outstanding, and the women's bathroom was clean 10 out of 10 would recommend! read more

Historically a great place but service has slid with tonight hitting bottom. Arrived, only to stand in the entrance for over 10 minutes. Multiple wait staff looked right at us and continued with what they were doing. Not a word. Finally after 15 minutes one employee reluctantly states they were backed up. Asking if we could sit at the bar, he stated that would be fine. We both sat at the bar and the bartender, while chatting with the individual next to us, didn't even say a word to us and turned away and walked off. Not a hello, just a moment or a please leave. My buddy whom is a food critic in NYC wanted to try this place but this experience I'm sure won't lead to any positive feedback on his behalf. He just mentioned it was so bad, it was "laughable" After 25-30 minutes of being ignored, we of course left and went to Carolinas. Continued substandard service will eventually catch up to you Ritos. Good luck in the long term. read more

I've been eating ritos for years and years and years and I'm so sad to say this place has gone diwnhill . First off the food is extremely overpriced for one chimichanga enchilada style was $30. The cleanliness of the restaurant has gotten so bad and it looks so tacky with the "office" being exposed to the customers at the bar. save your money and go to better Mexican food places. Way overpriced and dirty. read more

Every time we visit family in AZ, we make them take us out for good Mexican food. I started with a prickly pear margarita, which is a must-have in the valley. It was fresh and thirty quenching on a 100-degree day, which could be dangerous. Chips & Salsa were delivered promptly to the table & replaced at least one time. The chips were hot & salsa had good flavor. My aunt told us all about the green chili burritos, so we all ordered the specialty. I actually got the mixed red & green sauce, yummy! The pork was tender & and sauce was so flavorful. This place was clean & trendy. Staff was nice except for they forgot to ask our side of the table if we wanted to make our a meal with beans & rice. I wouldn't say it was traditional, but very good. read more
