Our dinner at Rita Cantina was such a pleasant surprise and a highlight of our fall trip to the Hamptons. Our son and his partner have a new farm in East Hampton (Feathertop Farm), and we frequently visit them. We often stay in the Springs and have passed Rita Cantina many times, but never considered eating there. Our motivation to check it out this time was to eat at and support a restaurant that uses farm-fresh produce from Feathertop Farm, and the entire experience exceeded our expectations - eating outdoors with our well-behaved dog, excellent service, and fantastic food (the mushroom quesadillas were a favorite). However, the highlight of our evening was enjoying a few special custom-made dishes, made with ingredients from the farm and served by the chef. We greatly appreciate this special touch, and it was such a proud parent moment for us. Thank you, Rita Cantina, for supporting the farm-to-table movement, young farmers, and the local agriculture community. We will be sure to be back and recommend Rita Cantina to others.
Vegetarian options: We enjoyed guacamole, mushroom quesadillas, potato and onion tostadas, and street corn.

I’m Cajun..(I.e. food must be good) and I lived in Texas for 30 yrs combined. I was more than Leary of eating Mexican in East Hampton. But if you want a break from Italian or seafood.. I’m much less willing to eat ~ok sushi.. and more willing to eat any Mexican. THIS was a cut above and totally unique! Healthy Mexican! I didn’t know there was such a thing! Margueritas were legit.. no bad sour mix. Lobster tostados were absolutely wonderful. Light lime dressing.. onions soaked in water to remove the bite, tiniest chives I’ve ever seen, cucumber, avocado, lime. That’s it! No mayo! Seriously the best! Hubs got carne asado- also good. And shrimp tacos. Totally the best!! Could not believe this was NY!

Fantastic meal! I live in Colorado and have endless access to great Mexican food. That said, the meal at Rita Cantina was one of the best and will be memorable for a long time. Any time I’m back east, I’ll be eating at Rita. Service was excellent; Hannah was above and beyond. Get a hibiscus mezcal marg. The clams with chorizo is a must! The guac was top notch. Fluke ceviche was a dream. Save room for the churros. (Next time, I’ll get the duck carnitas.) Don’t hesitate—make a rez.

The food at Rita is fantastic! Don’t miss the Tuna Tostada, Chorizo Clams (so much flavor), Fluke Ceviche, and the Al Pastor Tacos.
Drinks are on par with the food - outstanding! The Pina Coco Margarita and Paloma are not to be missed. They also have a great selection of rare additive free tequila!
