“Alright.”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 21 April 2012

I went to the Ritas on Harris St. in Eureka, which may be a different experience than their main location but is by the same owner with the same food. The food was okay. The plates had large portions but my burrito was cold in the middle. It seemed like something they had just heated up, and not even all... More

The food is just average, nothing exciting. I don't drink so I cannot attest to the quality of the Margaritas here More

“Excellent Food with Great Service”
5 of 5 stars Reviewed 28 November 2011

Rita's Margarita's & Mexican Grill holds up really well across the menu for excellent Mexican food. Rita's is almost always full with people during typical meal hours, but in spite of this we have never had to wait but a minute or two to be seated. Rita makes an fantastic salsa that is promptly provided in hot and mild with... More

“Very busy place”
3 of 5 stars Reviewed 25 February 2011

When we arrived for dinner, the place was packed...it is apparently a popular place for those who live in Eureka. I ordered a Cadillac Margarita, which, to me, was OK, and nothing to rave about. We ordered nachos which were good but not terrific. The food in this place is a little more authentic than the average Mexican restaurant. They... More
