Tucked away in a corner at 29 Doors shopping center, Santa Rita is a friendly enough of a restaurant, but if their tacos don’t get better, they’ll go the way of Tres Amigos, the restaurant they replaced. My usual order came out extremely quickly, unfortunately too quickly. Not much lettuce, I don’t recall any tomato, and I had to search for the cheese. But it was the meat that did it in. The texture was almost too creamy to be ground beef. It was like they ground it down into a flavorless mush. At least the beer was cold and the lime fresh. I heard the owner is a nice guy and does some great catering, but if these are his normal tacos it'll be no more Santa Rita for me.
I miss Tres Amigos.
