It's sad that some people go to Rito's Mexican Food Restaurant, try only one item, pass a negative blanket judgment, and say it's not worth going back to. They never knew they were never going back to what is quite possibly the best Mexican Food to be found in all of the U.S. by far. Let me tell you something, I was born in a house literally around the block from Rito's (on McKinley) and can remember going there from the time that I was three. My family moved to the West side of town when I was about five. I never knew the name of that place I had wonderful memories of. But the flavor of those beans would stay with me for the next ten years. For a decade I searched for that ""bean flavor"" that I remembered as a kid. I would go to places like Garcia's, La Canasta, Ponchos with my family and order a bean burrito, apparently hoping it would have that ""flavor"" that I could remember feeling like I had somewhere. I was dissapointed many times. I did not even fully realize what I was looking for until I was about 13 years old, when I ""discovered"" Rito's all over again! My grandmother had died and after we left the hospital we went back to her house (she lived about two minutes away from Rito's as well) and my uncle decided to send my cousin to get us all burritos from Ritos. When he came back with those aromatic wonders, and I bit into it for the first time since I was three or four and, I literally jumped out of my seat and yelled, ""Oh my word! Where is this place?!! These are the beans I have been looking for forever!!!"" Well, my uncle showed me where it was that day, and it has been all over for it since then. I am now 24, and I still go to Rito's at least once or twice a month if possible. ALL of my friends know about it, and now ALL of their friends are finding out about it. And they all ABSOLUTELY LOVE it. They ALL know that if Aaron is ranting and raving, there is a good chance, he's talking about Rito's.
Pros: The Best Bean Burritos and Guacamole Tacos
Cons: Hardly any, except maybe limited outdoor only seating but still way worth it!
