    Beef fajitas enchiladas
    Jennifer S.

    Clean restaurant with a great atmosphere and very flavorful, fresh food. Everything came out hot and well seasoned. The service was outstanding--quick, friendly, and attentive throughout our visit. A great spot for authentic Mexican food.

    Finally tried Rita's after years of hearing reviews. Went in on Memorial Day and not many people were there. Service was attentive and quick. We started with white queso & ground beef in addition to the gratis chips and queso. The queso and ground beef really hit the spot it was the right consistency, not too thick and not too runny with a great flavor. Chips are average. I ordered the carnitas and my wife ordered the pork fajitas while my son had the kids taco Al carbon. I enjoyed the carnitas although I've had better. The meat had some crisp on the outside and was tender and pulled apart well on the inside. The beans and rice were average, nothing special. I did like the pickled onions and jalapeño garnish along with the salsa they added. My wife and son seemed to enjoy their dishes as well, although I didn't try either of theirs, they looked pretty good. All in all a good experience but I think this place gets over hyped a bit as it didn't blow me away the way so many people seem to say.

    Best food and margaritas in town! We have a great experience every visit. Friendly staff as well!

    The waitstaff is amazing....All of them. The atmosphere is full of groups and families, televisions everywhere and it's a fun place. The first we ate there it was fabulous, tonight not so much. The rice is the best, but the rest so, so. They don't rush you because when we were there, not a large house of people. I attribute that a holiday weekend and prices are high. We will stick the place across the other of the road. The plates looked lovely.. .

    Classic, over ice, with sugar.

    Twas a busy night on this corner lot of a strip, just north of Tomball. My brother and I met with some friends to catch up. The place was hopping. Ambience is casual, seating is a little tight. The food took a minute or two to come out because they were so busy. So the breakdown: 1. chips and salsa. The red sauce was good, green sauce needs a bit more flavor. Overall solid. That's a baseline necessity. 2. Queso Blanco. Fantastic. Thicc, and flavorful. I don't usually do queso, because the disappointment can be disheartening, but I was pleasantly surprised. 3. Carne Asada. Very good! It was cooked medium to medium rare. It sliced very easily, and came with the normal sides. I was happy with the choice. 4. Pork fajitas (honorable mention). I didn't have these but two of our party did, and enjoyed them. Apparently worth it in case you are wondering. 5. Margaritas. These were average. Nothing special. Overall, a good option in the Tomball/Cypress playbook.

    Thank you Yelp ! What a great place to have dinner, Rita's Cantina Mexican Kitchen is one of those places you need to try . Nothing fancy, just superb service, wonderful food and the best hospitality! For the food : Chips - fresh and hot Salsa - green and red, both are great !! Charro Beans - good Beef Fajitas- Excellent! I'm sure you expected all the above, but the service is second to none ! My glass never got half empty and I was asked numerous times if I needed anything. The owners wife came by when I finished and asked if she could bring me a piece of Quattro leches cake ? Yes, I said YES!! It was the BEST!! Bottom line, if you are ever in the Tomball, Texas area, go and give them a try. Go get Full

    All the food was amazing and fresh. The margaritas were very good too. The dessert topped everything else. Definitely will be back.

    August 30, 2025 Update: Superb late lunch experience with…read morefamily just now. It was a toss up between BBQ and Tex-Mex, and latter win out! Glad we returned. Service was fantastic/friendly, with the owner and server stopping by frequently to check on us or just have a friendly chat. Food consisting of Mixed Fajitas for 3 (Beef, Chicken, Carnitas) was the best we have tasted. Sizzling, flavorful, tender meat, fantastic blistered Jalapeños (Toreados), and grilled onions, served with four tortillas. Quantities were ample and the complimentary chips, Salsa (2 kinds), and Queso (2 kinds) were warm and tasty! The whole meal set us back $82, including taxes and tip. Overall, a thoroughly satisfying experience - our favorite place going forward! Do visit - you won't be disappointed!

The man runs his restaurant with heart, hustle, and pure passion. Every detail -- from the way the margaritas are mixed to how the seafood is seasoned -- carries his touch. We had the crab legs, shrimp boil, potatoes, and corn, and wow... flavor on another level. And those margaritas? Smooth, strong, and made with love -- the kind that make you slow down, smile, and say "una más." You can feel the energy the moment you walk in -- familia, sabor, y alegría.
