I couldn't help but compare Casa Rita's to my recently reunited-with flame, Chuy's. Casa Rita's just couldn't live up to the Tex Mex I had there about a week ago. Their delishTex Mex was still so fresh in my mind. Maybe if it wasn't, I would've liked Casa Rita's better? No matter really.
The food was blah all around - lacking flavor, spice or anything nice. I would rather go to Chipotle if forced to find Mexican in the Matthews area.
I tried the fajita salad, the salad part was "fine" but the avocado ranch was really just ranch and the accoutrements (pico de gallo, guac) were bland like everything else.
The chicken was super meh - like it was full of preservatives or something. Not a piece of fresh chicken breast like I would expect...more like fast food chicken.
My husband got the brisket street tacos and he liked the brisket but said everything else on his plate was bland. I tried the charro beans, huge disappointment!
The only pleasant surprise was the tortillas appeared to be homemade. Made there? Doubt it, but not straight from Harris Teeter.
Highly unlikely that I will return!
