Rito's Mexican Food is celebrating 45 years of business this year and we could not be more excited about the future as a company. What began as a neighborhood convenience store within the Garfield Historic Neighborhood quickly found itself selling more burritos and tacos from its limited "to go" only kitchen, than grocery goods. To that end, Rito and Rosemary Salinas decided to pivot Rito's concept into a take-out-only Mexican Food establishment that has served the "Valley Of The Sun" time-honored family recipes spanning generations. Rosemary and Rito have since passed the company on to their daughter Charlotte who embodies the same work ethic her parents instilled within her over the course of their careers. Like a true family-owned business Charlotte works alongside her sister, nieces, nephews, sons, and long-time staff some of whom have been with the company for over 30 years. As the company continues to expand its reach across Arizona, Rito's will always remain committed to providing the same great-tasting Mexican Food that Arizona has come to love with the freshest ingredients and friendly customer service.
This is a review of the last 2 times we've been here, though apparently I didn't take pictures from both.
Overall, my husband Loves this place...mainly because of the beans that are cooked with lard.
I like the food too but the service can be a bit slow. It definitely was tonight! The chips tasted like they had expired though we didn't notice till the end when our bowl of beans was gone. Great combo and probably better with fresh chips.
This will remain a place we visit when in Surprise. :-)
I ordered the cheese enchiladas, one green one red...AMAZING! The chips and salsa were also very good. A little higher priced comparatively but honestly, I'd drive back into Surprise again to get those enchiladas again. First time I've had a restaurant check my temperature, and as far af I know they're still enforcing masks. Otherwise, they'd get a 5 star 😉
The staff are friendly and the Mexican pizza was good. Used social distancing by the CDC and had speedy service. The server brought my food to my car which was a bonus & she made it amazing! A quick stop to eat.
The chicken tacos were great, the cheese enchiladas were decent, the guacamole was good. There were some mix-ups on our order, but they tried to resolve them and were very pleasant about it.
