We stopped in for a margarita and stayed for two. Since the bar is upstairs, we had great views of the park, the street, and the lake. Very relaxing and the nachos were fantastic!

We stopped at Rita’s Cantina because with a coupon if you bought two margaritas you got a free sombrero. Well, we got the fresh watermelon margaritas and they were outstanding so we ended up getting two more! The bartender was fun and friendly. Love this little place!

It was a hot afternoon and we were thirsty, so we stopped by Rita’s Cantina for a Margarita. They offered a wide selection and produced drinks that hit the spot. Situated on the top deck of the Boardwalk you can enjoy your drink while watching the traffic coming in and out of the Marina, and boats going by on Lake Erie. The staff was pleasant and helpful, and the prices were fair. Stop by and enjoy!

We went for a margarita and had a great time, the service was great and the people very nice. we tried 2 pitchers of different margarita’s and both were excellent. We did not eat there, and from what we saw it looked like average Americanized Mexican.

Good selection of tequila. The sunset was spectacular that day for an extra bonus. We meet some other visitors and had a nice time.

What a great place to stop on a hot afternoon! The views are tremendous, the service friendly and fast, and the Margaritas absolutely delicious. Don’t miss the Cocoanut Margaritas – refreshing and incredibly tasty!

Rita’s Cantina on the upper deck has a view of the harbor and downtown docks which makes it a perfect place to relax and have a margarita with a Grand Marnier side car enjoying the views of the Island!

We stopped here to get a few drinks after visiting Kelly’s Island. The Margaritas were really, really good & the Sex on the Beach great! Be careful with the bumble bees though. I asked the bartender to recommend us a great restaurant and she stated The Upper Deck had great food. She did not lie!

Rita’s Cantina is an average bar which I used to enjoy more but since I discovered the Keys I’ve felt Rita’s may need to step up their game. The margaritas are average, but the view is what makes it a good bar.
