I really like this place. I was across the street getting my fingerprints done at the police department for a job requirement. I saw the place across the way and decided to check it out. Was not let down! The owner is nice and friendly and checks on customers! Will definitely return!

(Update: So I received a response from my review. My review stands, it doesn't matter if you have to go orders or not, the waitress standing there could have grabbed the plates sitting there getting cold.. I'd hate to see if this place was busy..) The food was okay, red Chile good, and I'm picky about my red Chile but it was good, the only issue I had was the service, the restaurant was not busy at all, two waitresses, one seated us, another took our order, but from where we were seated I heard the bell for our order go off 3 times, and I knew it was our order, we were the only customers, so I decided to walk up and check, sure enough there's our order, sitting there getting cold, while one waitress is just standing there looking through tickets, the other one on the phone, I said, "that's our order sitting there getting cold, I've heard the bell ring 3 times", as far as I'm concerned, the sitting customer takes first place over phone orders, or counting tickets, or to go, especially if our order is sitting there, if you have seated customers and their food is sitting there, you tell the phone customer to hold please. Or the other waitress counting tickets could have done something but stand there, but maybe she thought since we weren't her customers, she won't move. Food being good, come on service, get better please.

Three of us stopped for breakfast and had huevos rancheros, and chicken fried steak n eggs with chopped green chile in the gravy. Also had a waffle and sopapillas. All the food was great , chopped green chile w gravy was fire. The guys said the red was tasty as well. Sopapillas were very good too. They offered us homemade cookies before we left. Everything including service was great, we will definitely be back!

The food sucked ordered a chicken salad I got a bowl full of lettuce a couple of tomatoes and like five pieces of chicken then to top it off I got a refill of tea and the waitress poured it all over the table and brought napkins for me to clean it up then after all that she brought us the ticket and threw it at us instead of placing it on the table she was very rude we will not be going back to this place any more.

I really enjoy eating at Rita's. Unfortunately, due to work, I can only eat here on Sunday due to their hours of operation conflicting with my work schedule, but what a treat. I really enjoy several of their dishes, but the green chile meatloaf is super tasty.

First time coming here and I'm sad that it took me this long to find this nice place to get breakfast. Came here for a meeting with friends and the service was good and the food was delicious. Plenty of tables and nice places to sit. It did get a little noisy at times but, it was ok. Waitress was attentive and food was brought quickly. Place was clean. Bad thing...they don't allow service dogs, except for blind patrons. To me, a service dog is a service dog and they should not be discriminated.
