Rita’s Tequila and Taqueria is a cocktail and snack spot conveniently located at the base of the Australian Mercantile Land & Finance Woolstores on Vernon Terrace in Teneriffe. Serving an unorthodox menu of Mexican-fusion eats, Rita’s is known, first and foremost, for its tacos – we’re talking sl0w-cooked lamb tacos with tomatillo salsa and tabbouleh, grilled prawn parmi tacos with housemade marinara sauce and Oaxaca cheese, and crispy eggplant tacos with chilli caramel, miso mayo and roasted nuts. Snacks are also key, with chilli-salt fries, oven-roasted corn ribs dusted with smoked paprika and  baked jalapeno poppers featuring. Rita’s drinks list boasts 40 skews of tequila and mezcal (which funnels into a killer cocktail list headlined by eight kinds of margarita), a clutch of Australian whiskies and gins, fine wines, rotating beer taps, craft tins and Tecate cans served with lime and a salted rim. If you love a bottomless brunch, be sure to check out the spread on offer on weekends at Rita’s. The venue’s interior is dark and industrial-inspired, with timber and gunmetal grey tones softened by a greenhouse’s-worth of foliage. Rita’s can accomodate 70 guests without restrictions, with the spacious street-facing deck offering communal seating and high bars to go with a cluster of bar seats inside.
