We had appetizers and drinks at the bar. The chips and salsa were excellent, along with our margaritas. The queso fundido and quesadilla were both delicious. Our bartender, Adam, was friendly and great!
Found several strands of long hair placed throughout my order of carne fries. Never eating there again
The food here was actually pretty good! You can sit in the patio with the view of the pool. You can also order from your pool chair. We chose to dine in for dinner.
Complimentary first round of chips and salsa, $4.99 additional. Chips made in house, thin and crispy.
We ordered:
-Pork belly chicharron: deep fried crispy pork belly in this elote salsa purée with tortillas and fruit on the side. Tastes exactly like the description. Tortillas made in house.
-Guacamole: Had corn and pepita seeds that look like Sun flower seeds. Adds a nice little crunch.
-Fish tacos: crispy beer battered fish cod were huge! Came in 3.
-Carne asada fries: Their house blend white cheese was not my favorite.
-Pozole: This was delish. I love hominy!
-Birria tacos: 3 thin birria tacos dipped with consome and came with rice and refried beans.
For drinks we got the watermelon Rita and peach Rita. Watermelon had the purée so it tasted refreshing. The peach was nasty. Server said it’s his second best. I should have went with my gut to get the gauge which had the purée.

This is the second time visiting Harrah’s San Diego and dining at Rita’s. The food is okay and in my opinion extremely overpriced. However, it is one of the better options in the resort. The atmosphere is great, we chose to get patio seating by the pool and the service made our experience here the best. Our server was very nice and helpful with our questions we had about the menu and drinks. I ordered the quesadilla with chicken and a margarita. The drinks were delicious and the quesadilla was good especially with the habanero salsa our server brought us to try. Overall, I do recommend this place for lunch or dinner.

Great margaritas,food was good as well as the service not too busy for a Saturday night
We had the fajitas and it was plenty for the 3 of us we did the combo of meats !! It was a big plate and very good we really enjoyed it
Great place to eat and have a drink. Sitting outside is the ticket.
The enchilada suissa is the best.
Honestly the food was okay but we were like abandoned for like 15 minuts
Great food! The chips and salsa are great and so was our food. Been here multiple times and everything has always been excellent! But our server, Cary, was beyond amazing for our party of 9. She was prompt, thorough, so genuine and super kind. They have an exceptional employee and we were so lucky to interact with her!

Jody is the best bartender ever!
We usually love this place. Last night, we were seated in the raised area. We were forgotten for about twenty minutes. When we ordered, and for the first time, we were not fond of the food. We had a combo fajitas for two. The shrimp was great. The carne asada was bland. The flour tortillas were glued together. My wife's peach margarita was ordered without salt garnish but was covered with it and included in the drink. It was a $16 drink she did not finish. My double Tito's martinis was acceptable.
We have been to Rita's many times. This was our first bad experience.
We will give them one more try. But for the first time, we were disappointed.

Overly priced greasy food. Slow service. Birria tacos and fish tacos were okay. You’ll get 3 tacos for $25. Overall would not recommend.

As the summer is winding down we decided to take a staycation at Harrah’s and pop into ‘Rita’s after a day in the pool. The first thing I notified was the awesome presentation, followed by fantastic flavor and great service from Kimberly. I tried the Queso Fundido minus the mushrooms and it was excellent. Then the carne asada sopes which were almost too cute to eat - but of course I did and they were delicious!!! Got a pollo burrito to go for the hubs which if it’s like the rest will surly not disappoint! #taco #mexican #burrito #carneasada #goodeats #casino
