    Carne Asada Burrito
    The D.

    Smallest carne asada burrito I've had anywhere in Phoenix those are 11 1/2 inch tiles on the table so this thing is approximately 6 to 7 inches long not very big around either considering this thing cost close to $30. You would think it would be twice the size that it is.The other places very close by are double this size and almost half the price. I'll also add that they sent it with absolutely nothing else. No hot sauce or salsa whatsoever. This is a first for me with any Mexican place and they also did not put the extra lettuce on the burrito. I had to do that myself .With that being said, the meat was absolutely delicious full of flavor and the tortilla held together well however, for the amount of money spent, the amount of food was sad and the lack of salsa was even more sad. I highly doubt I will be a repeat customer, but I had to try them.

    Cheers on the patio

    Checked out Rito's for the first time and overall had a nice time! The outdoor patio is super cute and perfect for a chill evening out. We tried both the margarita and the Paloma--both were a little too syrupy/sweet for our taste, but nothing that totally ruined the vibe. On the flip side, the chips and salsa were awesome. Loved the smoky flavor of one, and the other was chunky with these big slices of tomato and pepper--super fresh and flavorful. Would definitely come back to try more of the food. The setting and salsa alone are worth a repeat visit!

    We ordered online for pickup during our lunch hour. The parking lot actually has room to park. There are a lot of places in this area. We arrived and were told to wait a few minutes for our order. While we were waiting some other people showed up so they were clearly getting the lunch rush started. I ordered a green chili chimichanga. My coworkers got some other items, tostadas, chips, and rice. Sadly there was no green sauce, only red hot sauce. The food was good and I appreciate how nicely packaged everything was.

    This has to be my favorite Mexican food in central Phoenix. I love a good free chips and salsa! The chicken enchiladas with green sauce hit every single time.

    Came here with colleagues hoping the food would be great since one of the individuals knows the ownership of family members. I normally order chicken enchiladas with green sauce which in most cases the center of the plate presentation is not drowning in sauce which was the case. Was hoping they offered a healthier alternative to the refried pinto beans. Chips were really fresh and to my liking and the salsa at first glance look like Pace Picante sauce which was not the case but it was nothing memorable. No issues with service and I just say that the burrito enchilada style was HUGE and if ordered this I would definitely have a food coma.

    3 Stars for the Mesa location for Rito's. I've been eating Rito's off of 14th St FOREVER. I hate seeing mom and pop places expand. (Only for obvious reasons, I do like seeing all people succeed in life) That location was and is the best of all locations. They were always busy and never had a slow moment during business hours. Prices were low, staff was amazing, word of mouth had everyone coming from all over. Once they expand, especially into a big newer building and having many more people to staff prices go way up. $13 for a green chili burrito and then $6 to add rice and beans is very expensive for most people. Add $7 for "enchilada style" or get a chimichanga and it's a meal that should be served with white gloves. I get that the cost of business has increased over the years but somehow it's gotten out of control. This location is very hit or miss. Some days you'll stand in the lobby forever waiting on someone to seat you and then wait just as long for someone to come over and take a drink order. The food quality itself is still pretty good. My last visit everything was great. I would just like to see a little bit more consistency across the board here.

    I have tried the 7th st location more than once get food from this location. I got salsa that look like it was used dry crust outside like you had an open for it out. The burritos was cold on the inside loop the rice didn't look like it was partly burnt. Beans dry. Picked up at 7:15p 5/12/26. we ordered $50 worth of food and it was terrible

    Service was great and so was the food, nice and flavorful! Restaurant is always clean and the ambiance is casual, busy with nice people and smiling faces. Music is mellow which is a plus and the house margaritas are my fav here.

    I was in the area meeting friends for drinks and they were late, so I went across the street to see what was spelling and it was Rito's!! I walked in and it was clean and cute little cafe style Mexican food. I didn't know what I wanted so the hostess gave me a menu and I ordered a beef taco with rice and beans. My order came out quickly as it was their last 30 minutes before they closed. The taco was crispy and savory and my sides were perfect! I will definitely be back for more tacos and to try a burrito or chimi next time!!

    Ask the Community - Rito's Mexican Food

    Is this Rito's associated with the ritos off Roosevelt? Meaning is it the same tacos and food?

    Same tacos and food! 🤗

    What days/times are your happy hour?

    Hi! Our Happy Hour is everyday from 2pm-6pm!

    I have a group of 8-10 coming on Thursday at 1:00 PM (after the lunch rush) Is Rito's (Crown) large enough to handle them?…

    Definitely large enough - they can push tables together and there's outside seating!

The bar is clean and the surrounding tables and chairs make for a good hangout spot with friends. They do have an extensive menu of drinks to choose from and the bartenders are friendly and efficient. They do offer some desserts and some light bites as well. The restroom is pretty bougie and I'm mad that I didn't get any pics or videos because that has got to be the fanciest toilet I have ever seen in public! Lol You just have to see it for yourself! If you're looking for a casual vibe with a good drink selection, this is a good one to try. Great for a date night, too! Have yourself a ball at Bar 1912!

    The self-appointed king of speakeasies is back at it with another one. Located in the Melrose part…read moreof Phoenix, I checked out Bar 1912 after having dinner at Valentine (hint, hint: the speakeasy is located inside the restaurant). They have a small parking lot, but it's free and I was able to find a spot on a Friday evening. Ambiance (2.5/5): Speakeasies are known for their sophistication and for their hidden entry. Bar 1912 isn't much of a mystery. There are two entry points. Either a door in the back of the restaurant or a hallway inside the restaurant that's relatively easy to find as there isn't a door or anything in between the restaurant and the speakeasy. Our waiter took us there after our meal. Bar 1912 is nice, but just about average in terms of ambiance compared to other speakeasies. Part of the reason is that it's very loud (seats 30 people or so) and all of the seating at the bar are back-less bar stools (which I personally hate due to my back). I would have preferred to sit on the various couches/sofas next to the bar. Service (4.5/5): Friendly, attentive service. Exactly what you hope for when you're grabbing a drink (especially when they take a little longer to make due to their sophistication). You're provided with water without asking which is always a nice touch. I had to grab the bartender's attention once or twice, but outside of that, a job well done. Food (N/A); Since I had dinner at Valentine prior, I skipped food here. They have a small menu consisting mostly of appetizers (many, but not all, which are offered at Valentine). One option which isn't at Valentine, but which piqued my interest is the Sonoran hot dog. Had I been hungry, it would've been a no brainer. They have four or so desserts on the menu, and I had room for dessert, but none of them seemed appetizing. Drinks (4/5): When I'm at a speakeasy, I look for creativity and an interesting blend of ingredients. You certainly have that here. There's a focus on Native American and Hispanic influences here, which is pretty cool, and fitting since we're in Phoenix and everything. I tried two cocktails, one was a hit and one was a miss. I'm pretty flexible when it comes to cocktails, and I know what I like, so I rarely miss. Unfortunately, it happened here. With that being said, I tried some liqueurs I had never had before which is awesome. And I enjoyed the cocktail menu. This isn't the type of spot you'll find an Espresso Martini...thankfully. With a couple of tweaks, Bar 1912 could be in line with some of my favorite speakeasies in town.

But, if you're looking for a really cool bar, KWSC is for you. I stopped by on a week day evening around 8:30 p.m. Located in Roosevelt Row, while there isn't parking, I found free parking on the street a few minutes away on foot. Ambiance (4.5/5): My type of spot. Dimly lit with a speakeasy vibe. There are eight or so seats at the bar, and the rest of your seating options consist of comfortable chairs and sofas. You'll see a lot of photos of people's bums on the walls lol. This is indeed part of the appeal. For free, if you would like, they will take a polaroid of your butt and memorialize you eternally on the walls. While I didn't do that, if that's up your alley, go for it. Service (2/5): This is the main area of improvement. After being seated, I was greeted promptly and got my first cocktail promptly. From there, things fell apart. I had to grab the bartender's attention to order my second drink and to close out. It was a week day and they weren't busy. And there were two bartenders. A lack of attentiveness. When I closed out, I noticed that the cocktails were both $2 more expensive than what was listed on the menu. When I inquired, I was told that the menus were outdated... umm what? If you're not going to re-print your menus, give people a heads-up when they arrive. I understand that most people won't notice, but this is deception. Food (N/A): I was on a liquid diet. If you're trying to eat here, all they have is snacks. The menu doesn't specify but I'm thinking it's probably chips or somethign like that. Drinks (4/5): A lengthy, and interesting, cocktail list. Similar to a speakeasy, you're going to see creativity and an interesting blend of flavors here. The most popular drink is Fuck Nazis. We're seeing a theme here. KWSC is an interesting spot. For various dollar amounts, you can get funny things outside of the polaroids of your bum. My first cocktail was great. My second one, a tiki drink, not so much. The menu said that there would be some flame action happening. It didn't. Just another example of the service falling short. If the service were better, Killer Whale Sex Club would easily be a five-star experience.

    What an unexpectedly fun night!…read more I honestly had no idea what I was walking into when a friend told me I had to check out Bikini Lounge because they know I'm drawn to all things eclectic. They were absolutely right. From the moment the friendly bouncer smiled and said, "Step right on in," I was hooked. Yoooow!! The first DJ was incredible. He was spinning all kinds of trip-hop, indie, electronic, and remix-style tracks that had everybody partyin'. It wasn't your typical dance music, but every song seemed to connect with somebody in the room. The crowd was incredibly diverse, and it was so much fun watching people of every age and style dancing and nobody cared. The second DJ, a younger woman, shifted the vibe a bit and leaned more toward a younger crowd. It wasn't quite my style, so I took that opportunity to grab a seat at the bar and do what I apparently do best... chat with complete strangers. I'm a talker, and thankfully they seemed just as happy to strike up a conversation. This isn't some fancy cocktail lounge, and that's exactly the point. It's authentic. There were people dancing at the bar, grooving in their booths, bouncing in their seats, and filling the dance floor with great energy. I came by myself, and within minutes a cool group of strangers invited me to squeeze into their booth like we'd all come together. That's the kind of place this is. At one point they even offered me a glass of beer from their pitcher. I politely declined (look at me making responsible life choices... sometimes), but then I realized almost everyone had pitchers! So I sauntered over to the bar. I did have to wait a bit; apparently chivalry doesn't extend to letting a woman cut the line, but once I reached the bartender, the service was fast and friendly. Every trip back to the bar was the same. No complaints there. As the night went on, the energy just kept building. Before I knew it, I was on the dance floor sweating, smiling, and dancing with complete strangers. After a while, I had to retreat to the patio just to catch my breath before heading back in for more. My ankles are still sore... and the glutes? Fuhgetabouttit! The best part of the night wasn't the music or even the drinks. It was the people. Every generation was represented. Every fashion style imaginable. Every personality. And somehow it all worked. There was this genuine sense of joy and community that you just don't find everywhere. If you're looking for polished and upscale, this probably isn't your spot. But if you want great music, a welcoming crowd, zero pretension, and one of those nights where you leave happier than you arrived... give Bikini Lounge a shot. I went in not knowing what to expect. I left wondering why I'd waited so long to go.
