aaliyah johnsonMarch 14, 2015The boat tour is amazing. All the workers are very nice, it's a nice way to test your legs, and you get to see a lot more than you normally would just walk in around. You are close to other people.
Ju LeMarch 11, 2019Love the enchiladas! Service was ok. Buckles from every high chair is broken - so keep an eye on your little one! Seating area at the river is super nice!
Maria HartsteinFebruary 20, 2017Delicious Texas-sized margaritas!!The food is so-so, the traditional fish tacos fell apart as soon as I picked up the corn tortilla, but other than that it was good.
Amy GriffinOctober 20, 2018Margaritas, guacamole, and enchiladas were great! Love outdoor patio across from the waterfall.
Super DadMarch 19, 2017Pretty good Mexican food; but their flour tortilla machine was broken??? Margaritas were tasty!!! Great views of the river walk if you sit outside.
Amazing drinks and food. Always a fav when I’m back home :)
Tyeshia BarnesJanuary 27, 2019The service was excellent. I wasn’t to comfortable with the birds on the inside.
Jeremy GheaApril 2, 2013I accidentally left my debit card there Saturday night. They stored it in their safe and I was able to retrieve it today. They were extremely helpful and professional. Rita's has an A+ in my book.
Amanda SmithNovember 8, 2013Food and service was great and the margaritas were phenomenal!! Highly suggest going here! Mariachi band was also entertaining
Ana AlvarezDecember 31, 2011I didn't encounter the same problem as others, food was delicious, service was great, and the food portions were well worth the price, you can easily split the meals.
Karen LarsonJuly 17, 2013Margaritas are soooo good start with the Texas size. Paves t he way to an awesome dinner. Mecicsn stew and combo plates are wonderful.
Val HangJuly 15, 2013Sour cream enchiladas are to die for. Fantastic atmosphere, service, and music! Would definitely return.
Joel SwisherJune 25, 2013Margaritas are awesome! Chips & Salsa are awesome. Taco Salad was awesome. What's my point? This place is awesome!!!
Johnny Simpson Jr.June 4, 2012Awesome Happy Hour specials on margaritas & great place to people watch if you get a table riverside.
Brianne GApril 25, 2012Waitress and hostess very friendly. If musicians come by and ask to play relaxing or lively, pick lively, its hysterical.
Jason WoodmanApril 12, 2012Menu is pretty vanilla, but quality is good and location is awesome. Marichi band plays for tips, but confirm this BEFORE they start playin!
J RdzNovember 24, 2013The wait staff was phenomenal and the food was great! Enjoyed the atmosphere too :)
Beatrix BaloghJanuary 10, 2015Food was alright, just the usual Tex Mex stuff. Liked their special sour cream enchiladas though and their micheladas were nice and spicy.
Kevin Michael ReedApril 7, 2012Food was good and as far as my Italian self can tell, authentic. Service was great, even for our party of 12.
Shannon ShoreApril 2, 2013Great nacho's and great drinks! Sit outside and enjoy the people watching!
Randall PannellSeptember 20, 2014Ritas pizza is ok not bad but not great but there wings are awesome defenitly recommend the thai flavor
Michelle NguyenJune 18, 2014The beerita is sooooooo delicious! Don't get the tableside guacamole though!
Chelle LawrenceMarch 15, 2011Skip the salsa, go straight for the queso. So good! Try a side of tortillas too. Made in house fresh!
Joscelyn L.April 8, 2011We make it a point to come here when we're in town. Service is mediocre sometimes, but the food and Rita's are always amazing!
Jeremy GonzalesNovember 27, 2011Great margaritas, good food, ok service. All in all I give it 2 and a half jalepenos out of 5. Peace out bitches.
Social SullyJuly 23, 2011The Margaritas here are awesome! So much better than any restaurant in Houston.
SerenaJune 3, 2013Well, all the comments were right. Yummy drinks! But slow service, probably wouldn't be back because of it. We stopped for a bite to eat. 3 hours later, we were leaving.
Russell FritzJuly 1, 2013Don't order the jalapeños if your looking for something hot. They cut out the centers with the seeds so they aren't even hot.
ASK Gwen CashNovember 26, 2013Absolutely the worst food ever!! The place is infested with birds flying on tables while u eat inside the restaurant. Dont order beef tacos or u will probably die. Go to Rosarios if u want good mex
