The boat tour is amazing. All the workers are very nice, it's a nice way to test your legs, and you get to see a lot more than you normally would just walk in around. You are close to other people.

Love the enchiladas ! Service was ok. Buckles from every high chair is broken - so keep an eye on your little one! Seating area at the river is super nice!

Maria Hartstein

Delicious Texas-sized margaritas !!The food is so-so, the traditional fish tacos fell apart as soon as I picked up the corn tortilla , but other than that it was good.

Amy Griffin

Margaritas , guacamole , and enchiladas were great! Love outdoor patio across from the waterfall .

Super Dad

Pretty good Mexican food ; but their flour tortilla machine was broken??? Margaritas were tasty!!! Great views of the river walk if you sit outside.

The service was excellent. I wasn’t to comfortable with the birds on the inside.

I accidentally left my debit card there Saturday night. They stored it in their safe and I was able to retrieve it today. They were extremely helpful and professional. Rita's has an A+ in my book .

In love with their Dos-a-Rita and the fajitas are delicious!

Waitress and hostess very friendly . If musicians come by and ask to play relaxing or lively , pick lively , its hysterical.

Menu is pretty vanilla , but quality is good and location is awesome. Marichi band plays for tips, but confirm this BEFORE they start playin!

Good food and better people-watching.

good drinks, friendly bartenders !

Don't order the jalapeños if your looking for something hot. They cut out the centers with the seeds so they aren't even hot.

Mike Muszynski

Get the Texas sized margarita . Yum

Kim

Best margaritas ! Must try :)
