Don't got to First Watch, don't go to IHOP, Don't go Chuy's, and definitely don't go to Papacitos! Rita's Mexican Cafe is cheaper and better than all those options! We also met Rita herself and she took care of us well! When you going to see Papacito walking around?!?

The food was exceptional. I ordered the seafood enchiladas with a side of ceviche and a Cadillac margarita. Everything was amazing. The black beans are very flavorful. Furthermore, I sat for at least 2 hours and was checked on but not harassed or rushed to leave. 10/10.

If you could do 1/2 starts this would have been 3.5 starts from me. I was here for lunch mid week. Location is in an old shopping center. Clean and comfortable inside. I ordered the combo chicken and steak fajitas. While waiting they provide you with chips and red and green salsa. Salsa’s were both good but not great. Fajitas came out in about 10 minutes and were cracking hot. You get all the normal fixings like quac, sour cream, pico etc. The tortillas seemed fresh...
