" I had high expectations but was disappointed by the slow service and cold food when it finally arrived. The enchiladas had potential but lacked seasoning. For the price, I expected a lot more than what I received. " (*Curated Review*)

" Tried the breakfast special and was thoroughly impressed! The portions were pretty generous. The huevos rancheros were packed with flavor, and the accompanying green chile was a nice touch. Service was friendly and attentive. I see why this place is highly recommended! " (*Curated Review*)

" The atmosphere at Rita’s is inviting, with whimsical decor and friendly staff. I greatly enjoyed the breakfast burrito, but the prices felt a bit high for the portion sizes offered. It's still a place I'd recommend but with a few caveats. " (*Curated Review*)

" We had a lovely family dinner at Rita's last night. The owner personally checked on us, which was a nice touch. The food was very good; the salsa and chips were fresh and tasty. The dining area was clean but could use some modern updates. Despite that, we had a good time and would definitely recommend it to anyone looking for a comforting meal. " (*Curated Review*)

" I wanted to love this place, but my experience was underwhelming. The food was average at best and lacked the authentic flavors I was hoping for, leaving me disappointed. Pricing was fair, but I expected so much more. " (*Curated Review*)

" I ordered the huevos rancheros, and they did not disappoint! The red chile sauce was bursting with flavor, although I wish the beans had been less greasy. The atmosphere is cozy, but be warned that it can get a bit loud during peak hours. Overall, a solid experience. " (*Curated Review*)

" All in all, Rita's is a lovely dining establishment. I had the chile relleno which was satisfying, though it could have been spicier. The ambiance was homey but could afford a few aesthetic updates. Would return for more food. " (*Curated Review*)
