My favorite restaurant inside Harrah's casino. Overpriced? Yes, but hey still the best flavor & financial option inside the casino. Free chips & salsa. Margaritas on point--my fav is the Blood Orange Margarita, my bf's is the Watermelon Margarita, and my mom's is the Peach Margarita. Carne Asada Fries were thick with an airy crisp. Meat kind of lacking, but overall flavors were there. Combo Fajitas were my favorite. We got the large to share $37, came with 6 tortillas, sides of rice and beans, guacamole, and the fajitas itself. Gotta love the bell peppers. Flavors overall were there. Didn't like the birria ramen. The ramen noodle texture was thin and fragile, like instant ramen. Meat was tender but there was barely any. Overall lacking on toppings. Soup was salty, needed more lime to cut it. Not my favorite restaurant in the world and probably wouldn't recommend someone drive for this, but it's definitely the best choice if you're staying at Harrah's already!

The service was great! Which is the 5! The food was a 3 For it being a Mexican restaurant at a resort, it was decent Tried the Birria Ramen, the meat was soft, the soup was flavorful, not all the noodles were separated (like it was from a block of noodles but a portion was still a block) The queso fundido was ok but I liked the chicharron with it

Stopped in for lunch before hitting the games and was pleasantly surprised! Cary was a sweetheart and she was quick, courteous, kind and jovial! The carne asada breakfast burrito was delicious and the combination of sauces & salsa really brought it all together. The atmosphere was festive and bright; I really enjoyed the view of the pool from the indoors! Next time I'm bringing my swim trunks! Cary! You did it! I appreciate your service given the size of the party!

Gina was our outstanding server. She was attentive, welcoming and very friendly. We shared a watermelon margarita pitcher and had the aguachile dish which all were very good. We will definitely come back and order the same dish! Thank you again Gina

Saturday, 11-01-2025: My husband came to pick up his free gift from the casino gifting center. While we were here we decided to return to 'Rita's Cantina after a long while. We were happy there was no wait to be seated. Our server was very friendly but could have been more attentive. He brought out complimentary tortilla chips & salsa, which was very good. The o food orders came out quickly. My husband ordered the cheese enchiladas and I had the chicken quesadilla. Both meals were delicious and satisfying. This restaurant is decorated very nicely and it's clean. It's adjacent to the pool area with its tropical theme. One star off because it was a while before the server returned to the table so we could pay. Other than that, we would return here plus I got a military discount.

Holy smokes! The food was fantastic here. Did a staycation and decided to grab a bite while we were here. The service started strong with our waitress, Gina coming to the table with waters in hand. Pro tip for sure, having water from the start always sets to tone for me. We ordered a couple margaritas and looked over the menu. Once the drinks arrived we were set on the meal. Combo plate and carne asada fries. Ok, the fries are under appetizers and they are a full blown meal plus some. The fries were perfectly crunchy and the carne asada so delicate. The tamales and enchilada were fresh as heck and gave a classic abuela made vibe. The food was such a large portion we couldn't eat it all so we packed it to go. Gina again was amazing. She brought a to go box. Silverware and extra napkins. Her attention to detail and focus on quality experience is so refreshing. 10/10 would come and will come again. Thank you Gina for matching the service to the quality of the food!!

Great service from friendly staff. Cocktail so good I wish I could have had another but I'm a light weight. Birria Ramen exceeded my expectations. Don't pass this place up.

The food here was actually pretty good! You can sit in the patio with the view of the pool. You can also order from your pool chair. We chose to dine in for dinner. Complimentary first round of chips and salsa, $4.99 additional. Chips made in house, thin and crispy. We ordered: -Pork belly chicharron: deep fried crispy pork belly in this elote salsa purée with tortillas and fruit on the side. Tastes exactly like the description. Tortillas made in house. -Guacamole: Had corn and pepita seeds that look like Sun flower seeds. Adds a nice little crunch. -Fish tacos: crispy beer battered fish cod were huge! Came in 3. -Carne asada fries: Their house blend white cheese was not my favorite. -Pozole: This was delish. I love hominy! -Birria tacos: 3 thin birria tacos dipped with consome and came with rice and refried beans. For drinks we got the watermelon Rita and peach Rita. Watermelon had the purée so it tasted refreshing. The peach was nasty. Server said it's his second best. I should have went with my gut to get the gauge which had the purée.

If an Eastern European who had never even seen a Mexican in real life - attempted to slow braise some roast chuck and mix it with instant maruchan noodles and call it birria ramen - it would taste ten times better than whatever was just served to me. Do not order this - tasted like straight bean juice and rancid stale meat. read more

Restaurant inside Harrah's casino. They have a poster for a 5lb burrito challenge, but no longer offer the challenge. Fairly decent food. Little pricey all things considered. Great service, cups were always full, never needed anything or had to try and flag someone down. In the future, wouldn't be my first choice but not so bad that I'd say to avoid them either. read more

Yummy fresh Mexican food by the pool of Harrahs. We sat on patio in out bathing suits and enjoyed the great weather and delicious food. Tiki hubby and I shared the shrimp salad and queso fundido. The salad was full of vegetables with 6 grilled shrimp, plenty for 2. The queso fundido was a stringy cheese mixed with mushrooms, onions, green chilies, and chorizo it comes with tortillas. The flavor was addicting. Nice wait staff but slow, but what's the rush. read more

We saw this restaurant when we were at the pool and wanted to check it out. Surprisingly, there wasn't many people there for brunch this morning. They have a great view of the pool (that you can see anywhere in the restaurant) and the staff are really friendly. We ordered the Birria-Quiles and the chorizo biscuits and gravy... both were delicious! Both items had the right about of spice and the flavors they came up with were very tasty! The only reason I didn't give this location 5 stars was because the service was a little slow. Drink refills (specifically) were very slow but besides that, everything was great. I highly recommend for brunch and really don't see how or why they have such low stars. read more

Love visiting Harrahs and enjoy all their fun dining! They were doing construction so for brunch they turned Rita's Cantina into a brunch spot conjoined to their breakfast space to my understanding. Pretty place, with huge windows looking out at the pool. Food was pretty tasty, service was really slow for the amount of people but I'm sure it was due to the construction. read more

Second time having breakfast here, and it won't be my last! From their moist fluffy, and plentiful pancakes to their savory bacon-filled breakfast burrito, you really can't go wrong. Even the salsa was a hit! Simply delicious. The servers are all so welcoming, helpful, and warm. Today's server recommed that we mix the diablo sauce with the salsa, and it truly didn't disappoint. ln fact, it made the burritto even better! Lastly, the ambience also had a great look and feel to it. They played music and have 2 tv screens playing different sports. Great vibes, especially because they have a full bar. Hahaha! I'll be back for their new item, Birria Ramen, too. read more

When we got to harris, we saw photos of their Beirria Ramen and it looked amazing but of course the actual product did not live up to the photo nor my expectations. The waiter was friendly enough but did not go out his way to be really friendly. When we got the ramen, the presentation was totally lackluster and amateurish at best. When we mixed the bowl up with lime and onions it looked better but unfortunately, the noodles are no good. I bet they have a pack to dry noodles that they toss in the hot water and microwaved for a few minutes . The Beirria was okay but nothing unique or special. I would never eat here again. read more

Hands down the BEST restaurant in town -- no contest! * The portions? Massive. You'll need a forklift to carry the plate. I had to call three friends just to help me finish one order of ramen . * The service? Phenomenal. The waiters are so attentive they might as well tuck you into bed at night. They read my mind before I even opened my mouth -- truly magical. * The speed? Lightning fast. I swear I saw my food appear on the table before I even placed the order. Time travel technology confirmed! * The dishes? Out of this world. Ordered beef pupusas-- tasted better than Wagyu flown in by private jet. Even Gordon Ramsay would cry tears of joy here. Honestly, I don't know how this place isn't rated 10 stars. Forget New York, Paris, or Tokyo -- THIS is the new food capital of the world. Run, don't walk.

Recommended if you're in the area.

Sometimes you just need a little Mexican Coke to mix in with a really good run…read more Nothing beats the Sabor Original with pure sugar cane goodness! Fallbrook Liquor has it and all other good things you need at reasonable prices without long lines. I'll be back for sure.

Person running the register was extremely creepy! I was picking up an order on DoorDash and I asked…read morethe man running the register if he needed to see my id and he said "yeah, just so I can see your address" would definitely NEVER recommend coming to this store!

If you live in Escondido you've probably sat in traffic at the Washington light at least once…read more You've always wondered what Goro's is like and is it worth stopping in for a visit. I came looking for sour beers and Goro's had a large variety of Wild Barrel SOUR Beer cans. Strawberry is my favorite but they had all sorts of weird flavors like nectarine and papaya. Goro's may be a bit small, but they've maximized every square foot. They've also gone all-in on the craft beer phenomenon. This is definitely the place to go for locally made beers and seltzer.

What a great experience! I've been working in the food industry since I was my servers age! My servers name is Allie, and she has the biggest smile I've seen in a long time. Such a sweet girl! Lets start off with the margaritas, I had a peach margarita, and my husband had the a watermelon one that had jalapeños in it. I can not remember the names of the margaritas. Allie suggested those two because my husband wanted to try something different and I wanted my sweet margarita of course! They were amazing! Now lets talk food! That's what me and Allie did! I love Mexican food, but Mexican food sometimes is to spicy for me and I made sure to let my server know. With the chips and the salsa even there delicious cheese dip had a little kick to it! So when I decided I wanted the carne asada tacos she had the chef put the salsa's and guacamole on the side so I could put it on! What an amazing idea because the pico de gallo was more spicy than a normal pico de gallo. Which did upset me because I love tomatoes and onions. My husband had the chicken enchiladas, he said they were yummy! I will definitely be returning! I loved our waitress, the food (except the pico de gallo needs work) and the food runner! I forgot his name but he told me to "be happy". That sure was cute and made me laugh, and be happy! read more

We had a fantastic experience! Jan Vincent, our server, took great care of our large group. He was very attentive and made sure we had everything we needed. We really enjoyed the atmosphere and the food, especially the desserts. Iris, who helped us with our reservations earlier in the day, made the process smooth. When we arrived, our table was ready, and she seated us at a spot with a lovely view of the pool, which added a nice touch to our visit. I was also impressed by Jan's honesty. I accidentally left a double tip, but he kindly pointed it out to me, which showed his integrity. Overall, we had a wonderful time and will definitely be back! read more

Food is always good, but in the past service has been lacking, so I don't eat here often even though I stay in the hotel frequently. I was pleasantly surprised today as I had the privilege of being waited on by Gina. Gina was attentive and friendly, giving the level of service usually reserved for the finest restaurants.
