Rito’s

Amazing Mexican food. Consistently great. There are many Mexican food places in AZ, but not really any that are great. This place is small and doesn’t have a huge menu, but what they do serve is really great. We also love the downtown Rito’s too, but this is closer. They both are super yummy and always nice employees.

Excellent food and its made fresh after you order. The sauce has a nice bite to it. The burritos are full size and the enchilada was excellent. The beef was oh so good. Get the guacamole made fresh also. They also have Mexican Coke in bottles. A must stop if you want excellent food.

Very good food. Clean, well-​run and family friendly. The owner checked on us and the other patrons more than once. We will return!

Plain and simple, but good food. I believe related to the Ritos downtown, but without the name you wouldn’t know it.

I’m sorry, but I have to retract my comment on my recent check in for this place. I have not been here in many months, and on today’s visit I again had their Green Chile Burro enchilada style. The burrito was very bland, and had very little meat in it. It was almost completely made of a thick gravy, and nothing else. I saw no Green Chile, and only one or two pieces of onion. I was charged $ 10.13 for this burrito, and I’m not sure how they got that total since the price was only $ 8.15. That’s just way to much for what it was. In most Mexican restaurants that would have come with chips and salsa, and maybe even rice and beans for that amount. I will not be back again.

Rito’s was recommended to me with an advisio that the owner was like Seinfeld’s «Soup Nazi». Nothing is further from the truth. I found the owner to be pleasant, helpful and solicitous of feedback. I ordered the «specialty» of a green chile beef burrito and I had mine jazzed up Enchilada style with red sauce. Simply delicious.
Now Rito’s is a little quirky. No pork or chicken dishes, just beef (tender, flavorful beef by the way), no combinations which means everything is ala carte. Since there is limited seating, they do a lot of take out business. I ate in and the food was served in an aluminum take out container.
If you’re looking for atmosphere, try Macayo’s or the Rio Mirage Café. If you’re looking for good, fresh Mexican food, give Rito’s a try. You’ll be glad you did.

Great tacos and everyone is friendly. This is my new favorite place to eat.
I have eaten here three times and each time I have tried something different. Everything has been delicious. The red chili had a good spice to it and the green chili was tasty. The tacos are my favorite.

Authentic cooked to order Mexican food. Not fast food, but we only waited a few minutes for our order. Primarily a take-​out place, with just a little inside seating.
Limited menu, but done well. Rice-​Beam burrito enchilada style ($ 7) had an excellent home made sauce (also served w/​cheese and shredded lettuce). Beef tacos w/​guacamole ($ 3.90)terrific taste.

The food her awesome!!! Great food paired with great customer service! I can’t say enough about this place, the inside of the restaurant is ver clean as well as the kitchen.
Great place to eat, they remember my name and my sons name every time I come in.

Well, I must not get it! With all the raving I must have had high expectations? The owner was friendly, but asked and reasked my order several times. I was one of the first and only customers in there. So I ordered the bean tostada and green chili beef chimichanga:
The toastada was super crispy (impressive for take out) but didn’t realize tomatoes are extra:/ The «salsa» sauce was good, it tasted fresh and had heat but wasn’t super hot. However the beans were like soup… dripping off the tostada and puréed to have no bean texture?! Personal preference?
The green chili chimi was huge and with the bean (soup) & rice in the container it was super full. The rice was good and the spice of the green chili sauce was spicy and delicious, however the chimi wasn’t fried?! Or at least it wasn’t fried well… it was pale and pasty without the crunchy bits that make a chimi awesome. I was particularly disappointed as the chimi is more expensive. Also if it is a beef chimi, I expect beef of which there was barely any… pics show what was inside…
Not a good first impression. I spent over $ 24 and won’t even eat it.
Bummer.

We went into Rito’s the other day for lunch. I’ve been to the location in Phoenix and I enjoyed it very much. The location in Surprise did not disappoint the green chili was excellent as were the refried beans. This place is definitely a step above the filibertos type of restaurant. Highly recommend… The only thing I would say is there are no fountain drinks which is a little disappointing and the location is pretty small so you may not get a table it’s mostly for takeout. And the prices are little bit high for semi fast mexican food. All things being said if you went to Rito’s you would not be disappointed

Okay, all I have to say is «wow»! Taking my heart away as the best simple Mexican fare in the area.
Yes they are small, but it is a family-​run place and Richie, the co-​owner, was fantastic. I know what I like, he made his suggestions and it was on! Service was great, but the food was even better.
My only wish is that they were open a bit later, but I am fine as-​is!

First time today. Small place, seats probably 25 or so. Menu on the wall isn’t the same as the menu they have at the desk when you order. Some minor things are different. So be prepared for that.
I was greeted by the owner. He seemed frustrated. He was short with me and when I ordered, he would ask me if I was sure and replied «we don’t do that in Phoenix» when I wanted red sauce inside the burrito. He asked me if it was my first time. I told him it was. He chuckled and told me he wouldn’t hold it against me. When I asked for green sauce on the side, he asked me «why in the world would you want it on the side». I was done with the banter and told him to just make it «how they do it in Phoenix».
Food was quick and drinks are in the bottle, no fountain drinks.
From my understanding they are well known for their refried beans. They do deserve the recognition, because the refried beans were great. The green chili was good. Everything besides that was average.
I would’ve gave it four stars, but that snappy and «eat and get out» attitude just ruined it for me.
I would recommend getting it to go so you don’t have to experience the customer service.

Red chili burritos were awesome. This was our first time here after several attempts. It’s a very clean place and restrooms were clean. Surprise little hidden secret.

I absolutely love this place, best lunch spot! It is probably the closest thing i have found to good homemade Mexican food. My favorite would be their green and bean burro mix! It has delicious mild green chili and juicy tender meat inside.
It seems like a lot of reviewers don’t like how runny the burritos can get. Which they can be but it doesn’t take away from the deliciousness. Just save the extra juices for your rice or get a side of chips to scoop up that gooey goodness.

Not only are their hours HORRIBLE (we have to eat dinner before 5 in order to eat there because they close so early) but when I finally order take-​out they are out of beans. Really? I don’t care how good the green chile is. I guess this place is only good for lunch.
I’ve eaten at Rito’s before and I’m sure they get all those 5 star reviews for flavor, which I agree is good, but they are WAY overpriced, not a great value.

We might try it again (some day) based solely on the overwhelming force and persuasion of Unilocal.Now based on our isolated experience, wtf was that on our plates? We did not order WTF. I did not want a room temp tortilla pulled from a plastic bag and filled with my choice of green or red goo.
I thought I was being punk’d until I realized I’m not a very well-​known celebrity in these parts. I am big in Europe and Asia, but Ashton doesn’t care about Eurasia. And he’d never come to Surprise either. So, I was 86−90% sure that AK wasn’t about to jump out.
This. was. apparently. real. life.
And real life was actually quite terrible in that moment. But don’t listen to me. Listen to the 444 other reviewers praising Rito’s food. Statistically your experience will be more closely aligned with «their» perceptions than ours.
Good luck.

1^st time here the service was excellent. This place is extremely clean! And smells amazing, The food was to die for very authentic and DELICIOUS! Highly recommend it… worth every penny!!! Wonderful place.

Best «green chile» I’ve found in az. This place is pretty dang good. I’m glad I remembered to come back since I found literally the best green chile chicken burrito since I moved here from Santa Fe.
I practically gave up finding green chile but I was in the motorcycle shop next door and they re come des the place. I’m glad they did.
The owners are super attentive. They want to make sure you enjoy the food. It’s as if they actually care or something. I know, huh. Weird. ;)

Just have to add that I’m addicted to their taco salad. I’ve even got my friends hooked.
Try it. You won’t be sorry! Their green sauce & generous serving of meat is mouth pleasing & did I mention addictive?
