What a great place! We left stuffed and happy. Food was excellent, service was very nice. Place was cute and clean. A+
6/29/24: OMG, was Rito's good! They won the trifecta: superb service, delightful decor, fantastic food. If you have not tried Rito's Crown location, you are missing out on mighty fine food.
Long version: we wanted decent Mexican food for lunch and we definitely had that at Rito's. Off the bat, there is a large parking lot to the east of the complex. We arrived around 2:30 or so and there was also plenty of street parking. Could be a totally different story for dinnertime.
It is not a huge restaurant but it is well designed on the inside (seating and decor), plus they have a nice sized patio on the west side of the building. The picture shows umbrellas; I did not notice misters. Needless to say, we opted to sit indoors to escape the heat.
Chips & salsa were deposited onto the table within seconds of being seated, shortly followed by water. Bonus: they did not bring straws with the water. I did get one with the horchata, EXTRA BONUS: it was compostable! That's a great thing in my mind. The horchata? Some of the best I have had, and I have had it from many different restaurants because I love it.
Our server, Missy, was pulling double duty as the bartender. Amazing. Not only was she funny and polite, but she did not even have to write down our order; kept it all in her head -- and did not screw it up. She absolutely deserved the 20% tip. The other servers were also punctual with water refills and clearing off our plates; I wonder if they receive a portion of the tip ... ?
This complimentary chips were thick & crispy (they paired well w/ my side of beans). We ordered quite a bit because we wanted leftovers for dinner. The crispy beef and crispy chicken tacos were great (although I did nab some of my sisters sour cream to dab on them), and the side of beans were so good.
My sister's three way burrito was huge and well seasoned. If you see her plate there is hardly any room left on it, thanks to the heaping sides of beans and rice.
I highly recommend Rito's Crown location.
The chips were a little overcooked but the hot sauce was great! The bean burro enchilada style with green sauce was great, very good flavor. The mixed bean and meat burro was excellent. The meat was perfectly tender. The green sauce was fantastic. Great food!!
My daughter was back in town from DC, and she wanted Rito's. I had never been, and I was so glad we did! The patio area is beautiful; weather permitting, sit outside. The food was awesome. The red salsa is my daughter's favorite, and it became mine real fast. So yummy! The tacos are extremely scrumptious! Make sure you try a taco. The meat is juicy and flavorful. We had both red Chile and green Chile burritos, and it is hard to choose a favorite. The meat is so tender and flavorful. I was greatly pleased and had lunch for the next day. The burritos are not for a tiny appetite. Our server was great! She kept our drinks and chips/salsa filled. It was a great meal in a great location. 💓 I will definitely be going back. Thank you, Ritos!
I recommend using their "to go" window too!
