This cute little restaurant is located downtown. It gives you a feel of visiting your grandma and getting delicious food. The staff are so friendly and amazing at catering to your needs. The food is affordable and one of the best Mexican restaurants I've been to.

My boyfriend has been coming to this place since 1982 and he brought me for my first time. It is a cozy little restraunt with friendly service, amazing green chili and reasonable prices.

Rita's was a great laid-back restaurant. We originally were going for breakfast, however, we were an hour past the time they stopped serving breakfast. They did have breakfast burritos that they serve at any time during the day, and they were delicious, as well as large portions for a reasonable price. Service was excellent too! We highly recommend Rita's

Looks like a hole in the wall but really great breakfast food. We got a standard 2 egg, sausage breakfast and a breakfast burrito. The burrito (especially smothered in green chili) was delicious. And less than 4! The egg meal was good. Side potatoes were really well seasoned and cooked! The staff were friendly, fast and helpful. They also brought out free cinnamon sugar donuts at the end of the meal. Really good! Tasted like sopapillas. Final bill was under 15 for both meals and drinks. Great, inexpensive option when in downtown Pueblo!

Went to breakfast here for the first time. A lot of great options on the menu and great prices. Had the sausage and egg breakfast with green chili and potatoes and a pancake. The green chili is a gravy just how I like with good cheese. The potatoes were amazing and crispy and go great with the green chili. Some of the best food I've had in Pueblo. Really enjoyed my time.
