ritas

Hands down, they serve the best frozen margaritas in town! I love coming here for a laid-back cocktail with friends — especially during their happy hour taco special. The staff is always warm and welcoming, and it’s the perfect easygoing spot to catch up after work or grab a drink before heading to a Broadway show.

‘ritas has the best chips and guacamole around as well as my fave, the Sloppy Jose tacos which are featured on their happy hour menu! Fun and chill vibe with the sweetest staff!

The frozen margs are fire. You always see someone you know. It’s just a solid time.

They have the perfect margarita for any weather and, as a nacho connoisseur and master chef, my favorite nachos not made by me! Why you ask? Well, I am happy to tell! First, let’s start with the margarita…it’s basically a smoothie, so that means it’s good for you, right? They use a silver tequila made 100% from agave, which is plant based if you are following my logic here. They also use agave to make their simple syrup and fresh squeezed lime juice. There is no sour mix, no tequila out of a plastic bottle, which is great for the environment and YOU! You can probably tell I am a little passionate about this subject. Next the nachos, every component fresh and delicious. The chips are fried in house which add the perfect flavor component and providing the perfect level of sturdiness to support their mind-blowing black beans, perfectly melted Monterey Jack, salsa roja, pickled jalapeños and carrots, and your choice of toppings. I alternate between the steak (that marinade is perfection) or the roasted Brussels sprouts…if I am feeling fancy, I will do both. I’m from California and part Mexican and endorse this message. ‘Ritas originally opened up as an overflow bar for Hell’s Kitchen Mexican Restaurant next store, but unfortunately only ‘Ritas survived lockdown [so far]. Thankfully, they serve the same margaritas and nachos.

Their Margaritas and Burritos are great!

The food, the vibe, the drinks!! 10s across the board. Ask for a “Captain” (passionfruit and coconut frozen margarita blend)
