Food was fresh and yummy. The cheese crisp was new to me...kinda like a giant nacho or a Mexican pizza. Staff were friendly and very helpful. The restaurant was clean with a very casual vibe. Parking is plentiful. Prices were reasonable.

Wow at there tonight absolutely amazing. What a wonderful find. Nice neighborhood restaurant. Sweet staff great service. Food was a 10/10 way to go. Had chicken Relleno massive could only eat half, the sauces were great. I love this place.

Just about as good as it gets for traditional mexican food everybody's got different tastes But even with a long trip it keeps me coming back

Rita's is pretty on the outside. Clean, bright, bare, with a din on the inside. It is good and great all over. Rita's does show you get what you pay for. Bold green and red salsa augments the standard bowl of chips. The taste of the salsas is unique. They do not have a lunch menu, but the regular one has so much on it, there is no need. There is a list of at least 15 different items on their combination plates. (Go to Rita's website to see the full -*+menu) I chose the fish taco and cheese enchilada. The plate comes with rice and beans. The soft fish taco is loaded with steamed fileted fish lettuce and so forth. The cheese enchilada lay flat, sunk in a circle of sauce, the same shape as the refried beans are in. Mexican fried rice completed the combo. My dining partner chose (roughly chopped) Steak Picado. The portion size was large. They served it with rice and beans plus three or four hot tortillas, On the way out there were several people eating Albondigas (Mexican Meatball) soup. While the food sounds ordinary, it was not. Some places know how to cook. This one worked wonders and the service was excellent.

Great Food! Atmosphere is on point and service was great. We ordered the oysters with scallops and shrimp. Then shared the Mayan Parrillada which was perfect!

Our first visit. So many items on the menu. Our server was a very nice young man, and he recommended the Chile Verde Plate. I was torn between that and the Carne Adobada. I do love green chili though so I got it. Definitely glad I chose the Chili Verde. The meat is SO tender and delicious. I could drink the Verde sauce from a bucket. I get the green chili everywhere I go and this may be my new favorite. I had the fried ice cream for dessert. It was much larger than I was expecting, but so good I finished it all. I plan on making this my new regular stop. There are so many plates I want to try.

When Familia Perez retired Juan's Authentic Mexican Food frim the Phoenix Restaurant circuit, we lost familiar people, large portions of delicious well-priced food and a family gathering spot. Ricardo Murillo, noted artisan - st leadt in our family suggested Rita's. Rita's is almost equal tothe frive to Juan's for us. The armosphere more colorful, the menu more extensive the food and beverages just as good, prices a little higher. Any time I can order nopales I am happy. They have Huevos con Nopales and Nana's Special. Rellenos are a restaurant test for me. Rita's rellenos are very good Hungry headed esst ot eest in I-10? Take Ric Murillo's advice, "Get off ar 35th Ave, hesd north toward McDowell. Rita's is on the west side of the road. You can't miss it.

Came to Rita's Mexican Food & Mariscos for the first time with a company Christmas party. There was 30ish in our group. The kitchen kicked butt as well as the servers to tackle such a large group! The appetizers and meals all trickled out at a very impressive flow! I only had the albondigas soup and it tasted exactly like it should have. I just wish it was a bit warmer on the cold day I had it on. I cannot and will not fault the kitchen or servers for the temperature of the soup. They had 30 something plates to prepare and deliver for our group. I did not sample anything else, but can tell you ever plate that came out looked delicious! I will definitely be back with family so I can try a few different things at one time as we each sample from each other's plates. If you're driving in from the south, making that u-turn on 35th Avenue traffic can be challenging. I would try to come from the north.

Great Food and Service Today, I was craving abondigas, so a quick search on Yelp led me to Rita's Mexican Food and Mariscos. As we entered the restraunt the music and atmosphere were inviting. I knew I picked the right place for lunch. We were immediately seated and offered drinks and menus. Our sever brought us a basket of hot, thin, crispy chips and salsa and it was tasty as we looked over the menu. My lunch companion and I ordered Abondigas Pozole. Out food came out hot and quick and it was the best abondigas & pozole I've had in some time. Service was great, restaurant was super clean and soup was delicious. Highly recommend
