Santa Rita Cantina offers a welcoming atmosphere with friendly service and a wide variety of menu options. The food is great tasting, including standout dishes like the tortilla soup, tex mex plate, and the Santa Rita Pescado, which features a wild caught filet of grilled Gulf Drum with avocado and pico de gallo on a bed of grilled vegetables. The restaurant is known for its reasonable prices and has a fantastic Mexican atmosphere with different dining areas, including bar, indoor, and patio settings. Happy hour is a highlight, featuring $5 house margaritas and complimentary chips and salsa. The bar serves premium margaritas, making it a popular spot.
While the parking lot is small, there is plenty of parking available, and the overall experience remains clean, attentive, and delicious. Some customers have noted occasional service delays, but many find the service to be fast and the staff to be wonderful, enhancing their visit. The atmosphere is often described as relaxing, making it a great place to enjoy a meal, especially on a chill Saturday afternoon.
