Señor Rita's Tequilería & Margarita Factory

Shelby was a great bartender! Amazing service!

First time at Senor Rita’s! Finally a new and exceptional and authentic Mexican experience in the heart of Dunedin. The vibe matches the menu: INCREDIBLE! Salsa and queso flights, handcrafted Mexican dishes including quesadillas, tacos, and enchiladas! And their margaritas are absolutely top shelf quality! Our server, Britney, was exceptional! Highly recommend coming to Senor Rita’s and asking for Brittany! Five stars are not enough! This place should be your go to spot in Dunedin.

Freaking out of town 🤯. Love it fresh fruit in the drinks yes

It was our first time in Dunedin and we stumbled upon Señor Rita's. I was craving for margaritas. Their margs didn't disappoint. We ordered the Mango habanero wings, it was good too. Got complimentary chips and salsa. The ambiance was nice and theres spots to take photos at. My daughter loved the swings. Overall a good visit. We'll surely come back.

PLEASE DO YOURSELF A FAVOR AND STAY AWAY FROM THIS RESTAURANT
Our experience was disappointing across the board. Service was slow, the environment was unclean, and basic standards like hygiene and customer care were lacking. Despite this, a 20% tip was automatically added to the bill. When issues were raised, Brandon made little effort to address them. The ladies were Infact checking on us if we were being taken care of. I would not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

DONT GO TO THIS RESTAURANT!!!
I had a very disappointing experience at this restaurant. A 20% tip was automatically added to our bill, despite the service being well below expectations. We waited 20 minutes just for guacamole, and basic requests like water were ignored. I had to go inside and get my own water. When we raised concerns about the wait time, our server, Brandon, argued rather than acknowledging the issue or trying to improve the situation.
After waiting over an hour for our food, we ultimately had to cancel our order as it was far past our dinner time. There was no apology or attempt to make things right. It was uncomfortably warm outside, with no effort made to fix the fan, and the tables were dirty. Another server saw us being miserable and provided the fan. Throughout our visit, I noticed several other guests leaving without eating, which speaks volumes about the overall experience.
Given the poor service and conditions, I don’t believe the automatic tip was warranted. I strongly recommend considering other dining options. I wish we had left sooner, as others did.

I’ve been to a lot of bars in the area, but the service I get from Lindsay and Brendan always stands out. They both go above and beyond to make you feel welcome from the second you walk in. Lindsay has a way of remembering your drink, your vibe, and making you feel like a regular even if it’s your first time. Brendan’s energy behind the bar is unmatched — fast, friendly, and always on point.

Whether it’s a chill night or the place is packed, they never miss a beat. You can tell they actually care about the customers and the experience. Great drinks, great atmosphere, but honestly — Lindsay and Brendan are the reason I keep coming back.

Had a great time on the rooftop, Lindsay and Brenden were awesome people and not just servers. They made it feel like I was having drinks with good friends of mine. 10/10 would recommend to anyone looking for a good time and just sit back and relax for a good drink.

Funny because the whole time we never looked over the roof to see what we were facing.

The best margarita in town

We came in for brunch around 11 am for my birthday with a party of 6. The restaurant is very cute but the bathroom was not clean and there was no toilet paper or paper towels in the ladies room. My fault for finding that out the hard way.

We sat upstairs and three of our group ordered flavored mojitos. Out of the three only one was correct. Later the server stated that they don't have all of the fresh juices for the flavors, so some aren't very good, but she didn't mention that when we ordered.

We ordered brunch and it was delivered very chaotically. Two meals delivered and then a long wait for the rest. I ordered the breakfast enchiladas with chorizo. They did not have any eggs in them though they were supposed to. We ordered the fruit platter with the cream but it came without and when we asked we were told it would come later but it never did. Sauce for the bowl showed up about ten minutes after we received our food. We also asked for extra plates which never came. The restaurant was not overly busy, but seemed like they thought we were on vacation and it didn't matter to make sure that our experience was a good one.

The food was ok, the service was ok, overall it was ok but that was disappointing since we drove out from Plant City which is over an hour away. I would not go back for just ok. The salsa was delicious.

Super nice staff and cool vibe inside. However, the food is not great and their beer selection is limited. They did seem to have a large mixed drink option.

Cool place to hang out, but skip the food.

We Stopped and had an after dinner drink we ordered two skinny margaritas. I’m not a big drinker so my fault for not ordering top shelf tequila lol after tasting them clearly they had no tequila in them. I asked the bartender to please correct the drink or take them off the bill. She said she’d make it right, got the bill and she charged us extra money for the cheap tequila shots to make it right…. next time should be more transparent. I’ve worked in the service industry enough to know what she should’ve said is “I can make it right but it’s gonna cost you extra for a shot, “”nine out of 10 bartenders and decent restaurants with tequila would make the customer happy . this is the third time we’ve gone there, which is 2 more then they deserve. The food was extremely horrible. We are Dunedin residents and frequently the locals restaurants every week but I vow we will never go to that establishment again because we like to spend money in Dunedin and we tip well I did note on my bill that the extra money she charged us for the rock guy tequila shots was her tip.

I love this restaurant. The rooftop bar is fantastic. Not very busy upstairs when the downstairs is always packed. It has covered seating and plenty of breezes.

Vegetarian options: A lot of the items in the menu can be made vegetarian upon request. I’ve had the burrito and the tacos all made vegetarian, and they are flavorful and delicious.

Parking: Parking here can be a challenge as it’s close to several different restaurants and some of it is private parking for different restaurants. Look around the back in the alley for parking and then there’s a parking lot kitty corner in a parking ramp. It’s easy to walk over.
