Rita's Cantina - Des Moines

The margaritas are good! Love the basic beach flight. Food had spice to it in just about everything I tried. We had a big party of 25 people, we kept asking for another table, the manager declined us.Finally we just took one and connected it to our groupso they could eat on a table. Our waitress Audrey did an amazing job keeping up with all of us. Great place for small parties of2-6, wouldn?t recommend going there to eat if you don?t like spice.

Met some friends here. We each got a different margarita flight. They were all too sweet for me but still fun nonetheless. The fish tacos are so good! The tamales; however, were sweet. We were looking for something savory when ordering those. They werestill good, just not what we expected. They gave us a birthday cake ice cream taco since we were all there celebrating ourbirthdays, too. That was really nice. I'd get the mahi mahi tacos again if I went back, and probably just order a regular marg.

Fun upbeat atmosphere with flights of margaritas and queso! Both the queso and margaritas were excellent. Great service and our food was quick out of the kitchen. Our meals were great. Looking forward to returning.

While I think that the host wait staff are wonderful I can't say the same about the kitchen staff. I ordered the shrimp tacos for lunch they sent out under cooked shrimp. I was flabbergasted. However I did inform my server they took the meal off myticket. Because I like the vibe environment I'm still debating on if I want to give them another try or not. Rita's word ofadvice cook your shrimp all the way through, nobody wants medium rare shrimp!

Got the queso flight, the margarita flight, and the quesadillas. Everything was so good and the server was nice and attentive. The patio is also very cute!
