all of the staff was *wonderful*, and me and my friends would have stayed longer and ordered more, but it is Way too hot! probably won't return until the A/C is working again... read more

Went for happy hour on a Saturday. The margs are $9. Got tacos and guac. Good is good! Music is loud and fun! Glad it's in my neighborhood

The crispy Brussel sprouts tacos!!! Omg its the best in NYC everyone should try it healthy and tasty

Great drinks and excellent service! Not loud either, enjoyed having a late night cocktail with good conversation. A must when in the area!

Food & drink was super yummy but what really made it worthwhile was my server Daniel. He was friendly, efficient, and super funny! Thanks Daniel !! read more

Delicious fish tacos, guac and margarita. Friends had chicken, shrimp, brussel sprouts and steak and all said they were good. Great waitress, tequila and beer selection. read more

‘ritas - Fish tacos - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Loveeee 'Ritas. Has been my favorite place for the longest. Though I wish the bring the queer music back. Specially during summer time. Waiters are the best but it's kind of a challenge with their new cheqout system. BRING BACK THE QUEER MUSIC read more

The bar was very busy. Drinks are good. In plastic though. I am not a fan. Drink was a bit weak. The rib eye tacos are the best. Shrimp tacos were good. Food service is fast. Drink service a bit spotty. But it was cinco de mayo when I went. read more

I'm from LA and am usually skeptical about Mexican food joints. This place is phenomenal! Great service and great drinks! Especially the "Ritas." The nachos are to die for! All around great place! Will recommend to my friends who come and visit NYC! Justin was THE BEST! Super funny and attentive server. If I could give 10 stars I would! read more

CHICKEN NACHOS, EX'S NETFLIX PASSWORD, FLIRT A LITTLE Great little place. Friend and I stopped in randomly not sure what to expect. Ordered the wink drink and the netflix one. Tasty drinks, thankfully not too sweet, served by a friendly bartender. The food menu is modest. We just ordered the chicken nachos, but they were some damn good nachos. Excited to come back and try the tacos next time! read more

Quesadillas were great, and they have an awesome happy hour deal! Seemed as if they were short staffed. However, the food definitely made up for it and our server was very nice even though he was super busy. read more

Although we usually stop by Hell's Kitchen whenever we want margs and Mexican food, we decided to give its neighbor a try this time. 'Ritas recently opened and has a pretty limited menu: it consists of three kinds of nachos, six kinds of tacos, one burrito, and guac and chips. It was pretty clear to us that there are still many kinks to be worked out. The margs were messy, and had wildly varying amounts of alcohol. Guac and chips were nothing special - probably just mashed up avocado with minimum additions. I would definitely skip the burrito. While it sounded enticing - General Tso's burrito - the rice inside was mostly flavorless, and the whole thing tasted like leftovers thrown together. My friend also disliked his sweet potato taco, which he said was just overwhelmingly one note. Service was ok - while servers were mostly friendly, there were definitely times when it was hard to get their attention. I might come back in a few weeks / months to see if anything's changed. For now, I would recommend you just wait for a table next door or grab food from somewhere else nearby. read more

Good food- Check. Good wine- Check. Margaritas - Check (a no- brainer, at a resto called "'rita's", in Hell's Kitchen, NYC. Cordial service- Check. A computer link between the service and the kitchen - Frown face. Can I make that a double? (Double frown face.) Blame the owners. We waited for a re-e-a-a-lly lo-o-o-ng time for our food, which ultimately needed to be prepared by our waiter. No lie. Apologies were profuse from the staff and they worked to mitigate the unfortunate circumstances. But- again- blame the owners. With a happy hour that ends at 6pm in a neighborhood of people who barely traipse home before 7...there MUST be money being made somewhere to ensure that the business operating systems are "go". Instead, we experienced....well...it was well after sunset on this mild early summer evening by the time we bid adieu. I know, I know...this is a "first world" problem. But to the owners: "Do better." You need to. On 9th Avenue, we have lots of options. Please don't make us force your hand. PS- I gave 'rita's only 2 stars. Yelp is fudging things by adding an undeserved star. Shame on Yelp. read more

Staying down the street, so I checked this place out on a Thursday night shortly after checking in. A friendly waitress instructed me on the completely contactless ordering and paying system, which was actually novel for me. Ordered a margarita and a steak burrito, the former was quite good and the latter was delicious. A nice place to grab a quick bite. read more

This is our go to spot for tacos and pizza combo! They are doing indoor dining with social distancing and have outdoor seating as well. We usually order fish tacos, margarita pizza and maybe their nachos. Everything is delish! We also tried their white pizza with pancetta and it was to die for! Their fish tacos are probably one of the best in the city. Highly recommend! read more

I love the margaritas! I love the location. Good tacos here and great specials. Super fun crowd. Nice waiters here.

This place is fantastic!! We had the frozen margarita, the steak nachos and the general Tso's burrito, and OMG. Soooo delicious! Everything is so complex and flavorful, the margaritas are fantastic, and the service great. Wonderful ambiance as well, and great prices. We will most definitely be back! read more

‘ritas - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

9th Avenue is not short in places to get a margarita, but Rita's stands out. The cocktails where amazing and the margarita flavors where unique. I'll most defiantly be back for the cool cocktails. read more

This place has just what you think it does Gooood Margaritas to the point that in our group we kinda thought everything Hong was amazing after that lol! So honestly I can't tell you really how the food is but I can tell you the drinks are strong the place was fun and we had a good time with the servers. read more

Rita's had the best Margarita I've ever had in a restaurant. The food, atmosphere and service were great too.

"We" are fan's of this restaurant chain, and LOVED Vynl before it closed a few years ago. Woodlot was sexy, but closed pretty quickly. 'Rita's has opened and finally has an amazing food menu! The food, though limited, is tasty fresh and plentiful. As for the house margaritas? THE BEST IN THE NEIGHBORHOOD. ( And I know my margaritas!) Service is attentive for the most part. And that my 9 year old says to me "Could we go to 'Rita's for dinner?" Speaks volumes! They are a welcome addition to the neighborhood! read more

LOVE RITAS! My favorite margarita bar in NYC! Love the flavor selection and the staff here. Some of the best margs (frozen or on the rocks) you will find in new york (and I lived in Texas so I'm a tough critic). Such a homey neighborhood atmosphere where all are welcome. Love their tacos and their nachos. Fantastic guac too! Love coming here before shows on broadway or when I'm in the neighborhood! I also recommend their sister restaurants El Centro and Hell's Kitchen and B-Side for Pizza read more

I love 'ritas. The service is great, the drinks are strong and fresh, and the food is tasty. Two things that really give me the blues though 1. The music could be more upbeat especially leading up to summer 2. The restaurant needs to air rupaul's drag race / have drag shows or brunch. read more

'ritas is my new favorite place now. Great menu, Great atmosphere, Great service, and Great friends! Every thing that I have ordered was really great and I would come back to have it again! And workers were extremely polite and welcoming. 'ritas, I love it so much. read more

Not much of a restaurant. Mainly a bar. The margaritas are ok, but the waitress (not bartender) we had on Sunday night, June 30 was lacking hospitality skills. The bar was completely packed and they announced last call at 12:50 a.m. At 1:04 this one waitress started telling people to drink up and they needed to leave. Half the bar had a full drink. She was super aggressive as her work colleagues looked on and shook their heads. She literally was running patrons out of the place at 1:10 while people were trying to finish their drinks. It was very rude. Either you announce last call earlier, so people can finish their drinks, or if you wait until 12:50, you tactfully tell people it's closing time a day give them time to finish. Terrible customer service. A couple people said something to her and she snapped back at them. There are much better options in Hell's Kitchen. Me and my friends will not be back. read more

The best burrito ever. Great steak and the burrito shell has a crunch - so perfect. Great drinks and fun environment. It does close early! read more

Wow LOVE this place. Perfect place to stumble upon on a hot summer day. Had a margarita and frosé and both were AMAZING. They juice everything by hand for their drinks and you can definitely taste it. Also addicted to their chips and salsa. Great service too, loved their bartender Christina. Was very attentive and fun. I live in the neighborhood and will definitely be back again! read more

Great mango cilantro margarita! Highly recommend it on the rocks. Fresh mango juice used, and not too much cilantro taste. Also lots of gluten free options. The guacamole was $10, but it was a huge portion and delicious. Would come again next time I visit New York! Also, great bathrooms. read more

Stopped by for dinner and drinks before a show- not such a good idea. The sangria here was horrible! A slice of lime does not constitute "fruit". The sangria was so sweet with what tasted like triple sec which, is not an ingredient in sangria, that it was not drinkable. I sent it back and ordered water instead- as for the food, there are too many choices in the Hells Kitchen area of the city to have such a limited menu and the items on your menu are so not a knock-out.... I'm going to say pass on this spot unless you're cruising.... read more

Great margaritas and and good vegetarian option. Loved the "Hen of the Woods" taco with mushrooms and the fact that their margs are made with fresh squeezed juice. Also had the cocktail Selena for Prez (appreciate the Veep reference). Make friends with the staff as well! All very fun people. read more

The bartender here was one of the rudest service industry people I have ever encountered in my 10 years of living in NYC.

I been to Rita's couple times , tacos are amazing , small pretty and comfortable place. Staff is great my server was a cute tattooed guy Devi did a great job taking care of my crew and I definitely coming back soon !! read more

Excellent service. Excellent margaritas. Excellent food: we had fish and chicken tacos that were fresh and tasty. We lived in SoCal and know how tacos should be. A small friendly place with a nice vibe Even the bathrooms were clean. Stop by. read more

Great drinks and eats! Once they expand the menu, I'm sure it will be even better. Great location between two other popular Mexican favorites, with plenty of business to go around. People in this neighborhood love a margarita, chips, and salsa!!! Delicious fresh guacamole goes a long way as well. Enjoy! read more

‘ritas - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Very disappointed that there is no music playing like they used to. Dropped by for some drinks and left right after my first drink when the server said they wouldn't play any music. I miss the old ritas'. It's all right, Hell's Kitchen has a lot of other options that I can enjoy with some music and spend my money on. read more

You must be confusing me with someone else or making stuff up. Why would I make up a story? My friends & I finished our drinks and I ordered an Uber. The first one canceled and the second one took a few minutes longer. It wasn't 30 minutes. Maybe 9 minutes. You had three staff working. Nobody was unsafe and it's outrageous you would make such a claim. read more

i love the vibe of this place!!!!! food and drinksss are so good!!! its a hidden gem in HK...i love!!! and the servers and people who work are so nice!!!!! read more

The place itself is cute, but the service and the 'ritas leave MUCH to be desired! It's disappointing because one of my absolute favorite 'hood haunt is BSquared, their sister joint - ahmazing pizza & drafts! But anyway, 'ritas traditional margarita is served 'on tap' and is not made fresh when ordered and it tastes like a 'mix'. Terrible! They do not serve you chips with your drink - you have to ask for them - terrible service! In addition, they are one of the very few places in Hell's Kitchen that does not have a happy hour after work on Friday's. How they compete with Rancho Tequileria across the street is beyond me - who make amazing 'ritas fresh when ordered AND have a happy hour every day of the week - wait 'ritas doesn't compete - I couldn't get in to Rancho on a Friday at 5:45 because it was packed! So, I sulked and left and said, "oh, I'll try 'ritas again (2nd time) - there were 4 people at the bar! YAY, I thought! There were 4 people at the bar during happy hour because 'ritas does not do happy hour on Friday's! That's why it was empty! Better change your business model or you'll be shuttering like all the others! I stayed - well because I wanted a rita - awful! Too "mixy" and the bartenders were cold and offered no chips to munch with my 'mix' rita until I maybe was ready for dinner!?! Too bad. I won't give it a third try! read more

The menu says "fresh squeezed lime juice and agave", but the margaritas come from a tap and taste like sour mix that will result in heartburn. I definitely could not finish my drink. read more

Really cute place with great service and margs! I had a couple of tacos that we're just alright. The nachos looked really good. I really hope this place makes it with such a small menu. Might want to think about adding some more options. read more
