Sometimes packed for the midday feastings of lunch or late breakfast, Las Anitas is more accessible as the afternoon comes to close but, their hours means an early dinner. The food is as one may expect of anything tourist-centric yet there is no diminishing the taste of little Mexico that is Olvera Street. A full restaurant, Las Anitas seems to have partnered with Cielito Lindo, which is located across the way and is world renowned for their taquitos. Yes, those crispy munchies are good but pale in comparison to another stall two eateries further into Olvera Street. Regardless, Las Anitas has a very tender carne asada, skip the taquitos. chicken Enchiladas are also que bueno! Bonus for the cost conscientious are the daily happy hour specials such as reduced beer prices or a Kids Eat Free day midweek. Those fortunate to be free at three in the afternoon will usually find easy street parking with a short stroll and an inviting restaurant with ample available tables. Seldom is there any room left in the belly for more eating from other places of Olvera Street but that's quite alright. Nostalgia may hit hard if you've come to Olvera Street in your youth, why not let your taste buds experience the same?

I recently celebrated my birthday at Las Anitas in Plaza Olvera, and while I truly enjoyed the vibrant atmosphere and the festive energy of the restaurant, I must raise a concern about food hygiene. The service was warm and inviting, making the experience special, but unfortunately, my stomach couldn’t tolerate the shrimp I ordered. This issue left me feeling unwell and overshadowed an otherwise delightful occasion. The trip to ER was very unpleasant.
I strongly encourage the management to reevaluate their food safety standards, especially for seafood, to ensure all patrons have a safe and enjoyable dining experience. The charm of the restaurant deserves better food practices to match.

Had seen reviews here and decided to give this place a go. Couldn’t have been more thrilled with the result! I had Beefless Soy Enchiladas and my friend had the Calabacita plate. Both were delicious! Good service and nice atmosphere, too. #Veganuary

Me and my fiancé went this weekend for the first time and he ordered the Mole, it was very bitter and way too chocolaty so we asked for a different dish. when the waiter gave us the receipt, it did not show the Mole dish on their. BUT when I paid the bill online using my phone, it did not show me until after I paid, that I was still charged for the Mole. The bill came out to be more than what we were given on a paper receipt and we were completely tricked. The food is not that good so it’s not even worth the price. What I ordered were the beef ribs in chile verde which was really good. But the mole AND the chicken taquitos my man asked for to replace the mole, were a 0/10. I would’ve given a better review if we were not tricked into paying for a meal we did not eat.

I'm floored by how amazing the vegan options were. Some of the tastiest tacos I've had in the area and some of the best mole that my husband has had. The decor was beautiful and the staff were kind. This will definitely a regular watering hole.

i got the vegan chicken taquito plate and i was given morsels of the “meat”. i cut into one and it was 95% air inside and the TINIEST little bits of protein on the bottom. like when they fell out i couldn’t even find any on my plate.
also they didn’t give me any beans. i was disappointed when i got my plate. just rice and salad. i assumed maybe bc the beans might have lard? but all the other pics on here have beans too?

My husband and I love this place! It's a "hole in the wall" almost literally, and has some interesting history. Their food is authentically delicious and their guacamole is the best. We highly recommend it.
This place is special because, one of the few times i spent with my father was when he took me here for fish tacos. They are so good, when I make fish tacos at home I make them like Las Anita's.

So waitress was rude when we arrived. Well went for dinner I got the fajitas beef,chicken,shrimp. It wasnt fajitas rather Chinese version. Very disappointed. Fajitas should be cook in tomatoe sauce not soy sauce. My boyfriend got the olivera combo and wasn't up to par either. Enchilada was gross the sauce wasn't that of Enchilada not sure what it was. As for the taco was a ball of meat dry as hell. Tamale was too soggy over all food has become not authentic. Drinks were good Pepsi was very carbonated and the Jamaica good and sweet. I don't recommend this spot. I will not be returning.

Waitress was just doing her job, not welcoming or a smile. Taquitos had unflattering taste n a watery sauce. Enchiladas n chilie rellenos were the best part, but just alright. Beans and rice were ok but didn’t eat. Wouldn’t recommend if ur hungry. Go to a place you like.$ wasted.

Delicious food and the prices are reasonable considering the nice portions of food. The beans with chorizo they serve as a starter are to die for....definitely a place to visit if you come to Olvera
