Rita Cantina is a hidden gem serving delicious food, including tacos with shrimp and quesadillas with lamb, as well as Short Rib Birria and spiced fries. The lively and popular spot has a fun ambiance, but can be noisy. Visitors are encouraged to arrive early to secure parking. The restaurant offers a variety of dishes that are a cut above typical Mexican fare, with some customers describing them as healthy and unique. The lobster tostados are highly recommended, featuring a light lime dressing, onions soaked in water to remove the bite, tiny chives, cucumber, avocado, and lime—no mayo involved. Shrimp tacos and carne asado are also favorites, praised for their quality and flavor. The margaritas are legit, made without sour mix, and perfectly balanced. Oysters served with many sauces and salsa are another highlight, along with excellent service and happy hour specials. The restaurant’s commitment to farm-fresh ingredients and farm-to-table offerings, supported by chef’s special custom-made dishes, adds a special touch that many appreciate. While some dishes may be overpriced, the food is generally very good and worth the trip. The lively atmosphere can be noisy, but early visits can help secure parking, making Rita Cantina a fun and tasty destination.
