Rita's On The River

Excellent food and margaritas! There were four of us, and we all agreed the food was the best Mexican we'd had in a while. I had the fish tacos (perfect!). Boyfriend had the ribs, and they were very tasty (I had one). My son loved his enchiladas. The rice had a chipotle spice, I think, which was delicious. Server seemed to be a rookie, but she was super nice, so it wasn't too much of an issue.

Came here for a family dinner with relatives visiting from out of state and we had such an amazing experience. Our food was amazing and the service was spectacular. Valentino was an outstanding server. His recommendations were spot on and he treated us like family. He was an absolute sweetheart, funny and very attentive. Highly recommend sitting in his section only, Service this good is rare now days. Rita’s is a must for the river walk!!

We came from the UK and wanted some Tex-Mex. We asked the staff for recommendations and the food did not disappoint. My taste buds were tingling from the fresh salsa, the Texas sized margarita and the fresh fajitas. Such a great atmosphere and brilliant service, well rounded with some amazing food. Would definitely recommend. Valentino was a great server too, and made our visit even more enjoyable, especially as he recommended that margarita!!

There were 3 of us dining. Just decided to do a random walk on the river, and we came across this joint. Not a bad spot, I would definitely recommend this place. Food is reasonably priced for a tourist locality. I had the Enchiladas Verdes (4 jalapeno spice), my wife had the four street tacos meal, and my son had the regular enchilada dinner with red sauce. The Enchilada Verdes de pollo were a good Spicey dish, but I felt it was a bit tart, maybe from the tomatillos they used, or could be too much vinegar. The tacos tasted like they used pulled pork. Know I love bbq, but in a street taco style, I really didn't care for it. I just felt it didn't work for me. My son said the beef red sauce Enchiladas were great. We also had the sangria Rita's and a frozen margarita that were good. The basic Rita's were at a better price if you want to get your drink on. They have about 7 different traditional Rita's among other type cocktails costing from $7-$27. They all look good and worth a try if you want to spend a little more dollar on yo drink. Have fun and enjoy, atmosphere was in point.

July 2023: It was lunch time on the River Walk and my wife wanted Mexican food. So we walked around until Rita's on the River caught our eye. They just opened for the day and we decided to take a seat inside. The staff was nice and the place was very open where even inside can see people walking by. There were many areas here with decorative backdrops to take photos especially in the small festive courtyard. With country music playing in the background I looked over the menu. The first item I selected was Chili Con Queso. This arrived very quickly to our table. It was very cheesy with a hint of heat to it. The chips were ok and had better, but enjoyed it. The main course was Rita’s Original Enchiladas which decided to split it with my wife. I was saving room for a planned dinner later in the day. The enchiladas were delightful and had nice flavor. The Mexican rice was devouring. Overall we had a great experience and enjoyed the food we had

I had been here about 5 years ago and wanted my partner to have the experience as well. They have indoor and outdoor seating. Due to the heat, we chose indoors. The chips were good and the salsa was even better. The guacamole was made in front of us and was delicious. The margaritas were obviously the star of the show. If you can’t finish them, they will give you a to-go cup. Our food was ordered and was delivered in a timely manner. Everything was really good. Our waiter was very attentive and friendly. We will definitely be back to try different drinks and food. I would recommend this place to anyone.
