If you’re fan of Mexican food and don’t intend on spending a lot of money Santa Rita Tex-Mex Cantina might just be the place for you. With two locations, one downtown and one in south Austin, it is hard to say that the restaurant is difficult to find. Glorified in the Austin Chronicle multiple times and even a mention every now and then in other media show that this Mexican food style restaurant isn’t quite a hidden gem. Although the prices are a little above that of an average Mexican restaurant, Santa Rita provides an atmosphere and customer service that is top notch in its part of its industry.
With great happy hour prices it is easy to see why margaritas are popular there but Santa Rita often receives praise for its beef and chicken fajitas. Another popular item is their enchiladas with several different fillings and sauces all around for $10. In a recent visit I decided to order an American Style meal and wasn’t quite satisfied which leads me to believe that if I’m eating at a Mexican Restaurant I should probably stick with Mexican food. When I visit the restaurant with friends or family I always recommend getting queso which is apparently made fresh daily. Walking into either restaurant the customer sees multi-diverse decorations as well as paintings that really give both locations color. The lights might be dim but the color of the walls alone brings the restaurants to life. Bright, fluorescent colors become inviting and the customer can’t help but develop a sense of comfort.
This restaurant is quite popular with the locals and its two locations allow customers to visit each of them and discover their different atmospheres. I would recommend this establishment to anyone who is looking for decent food at a decent price. Although it isn’t quite a fancy restaurant it is impressive when it comes to taking care of the customer. Let it also be known that Santa Rita thrives on its “regulars” and that the restaurants tend to do plenty of promotions to keep people coming back.
