The best

Anita's might be known for their breakfast burritos, but that's about where it stops. Pictured is the Anita's Chimichanga with shredded beef. Soggy, oily, not crispy (supposed to be a fried burrito). No flavor to the beef. Was supposed to be topped with chili con queso... got low grade shredded Mexican cheese. I'm not sure why there are positive posts about the refried beans as they essentially were soup (could not use a fork). The pictured meal was almost $16...

Love their breakfast burritos. I only have experience with carry out but it was great. Food was delicious and family wanted more, so I placed a second order and they had the food ready in a few minutes. Looking forward to coming back again!

PUT THE TAQUITOS BACK!!! They have been my favorite menu item for TEN YEARS & they were already expensive when it was THREE TAQUITOS but charging $13 for TWO taquitos is absolute insanity 😭 ik the economy is tough but shrinking the potion size by 1/3 for the same price is nuts...

$4 IPAs all day

Best refried beans I've ever had -- and I've had HUNDREDS of variations.

Staff is always friendly and service is unrivaled.

I would like to leave this review regarding food safety. Overall, my husband came in today to get breakfast burritos, and unfortunately, we found a long piece of hair inside of the burritos. We appreciate the service, but I wanted to mention that there should be more attention to food safety and cleanliness. Please ensure that employees preparing and cooking food are properly wearing hair covering to help prevent this from happening in the future. Thank you!

I’m really saddened to write this because Anita’s has been my favorite restaurant for most of my life. I’ve been coming here since I was a little girl, celebrated countless birthdays here, and always recommended it to friends and family. That’s why this review is so disappointing for me to leave.
Over the past year or so, the prices have gone up while the portions and overall quality seem to have gone down significantly. The tacos used to be one of my favorite things anywhere — flavorful, simple, and consistent for decades. Now they barely put any meat inside them, and the taco meat itself has completely changed. It used to be amazing, and now it tastes much saucier and heavily spiced. It honestly doesn’t even taste like the same recipe anymore. I truly don’t understand why they would change something that so many longtime customers loved.
The taquito portion was also reduced from 3 to 2, which was disappointing, especially with the higher prices. Even the queso was different this visit, with very large chunks of jalapeños instead of the smaller pieces it traditionally had.
I understand restaurants have to make changes sometimes, and I’m not someone who usually leaves negative reviews. But when a customer of 40+ years feels this disappointed, I think that says a lot. This place held so many memories for me and my family, so it genuinely feels like the end of an era.
I truly hope Anita’s listens to some of the longtime customers because the restaurant people fell in love with for decades feels very different now.

Well let’s just say, I’ve been dreaming about their refried beans since I left!!

I stopped here for a quick lunch with my mom and sister. It was around 1pm and the place was pretty empty. It was a classic Mexican style restaurant! Our sever, such a sweet lady, was patient as it was our first visit to any Anita’s chain. So we ordered our dishes in hopes that it wouldn’t be a waste of money!

And let me tell you it wasn’t! We all ordered different dishes to share in case one didn’t like theirs. We allllll loved ours. My favorite was the chimichanga! The refried beans with the chimichanga were magically delicious! The balance of savory was just right!

I cannot wait to come back! It was affordable as well! So do yourself a favor and visit this location!
