Amazing chorizo & also a bacon breakfast burritos!
does NOT play music in the restroom š«
The only problem here is getting out so park on the right side of the building to get out quick during rush hours.
Im waiting almost 30 minute over don but not ready my pickup order, Counter handling service. Doesn't this woman know how to work?
Breakfast burritos are the best
There are other locations, go to any of them except this one.
1) no soap in the bathroom. I let a hostess know at the beginning of my dining experience And still by the end, no soap.
2) costs are far from transparent. My child ordered a kids cheeseburger. We had tomato and lettuce added to it. What our waitress Angelica failed to mention was that each individual topping was costing us $.79 each. A heads up for extra costs wouldāve been appreciated since it says that no where on the menu that lettuce is an extra charge. Additionally, did you know there are two prices on each menu item? Neither did we. The cost on the menu is actually the up charge price to include the rice and bean side or no filling. You can get a cheaper price if you knew the secrets to their mysterious system.
3) when the waitress came with the bill, she brought the machine and said āyour total is $$$, how would you like to payā. As if I was at a drivethru. I had to ask to even see the itemized receipt so I knew what I was paying for.
4) A manager came over to explain to me these non-transparent menu costs. First, he comes over with food on his hands so we already knew he felt like he couldnāt be bothered to leave the kitchen to come talk to us. For a pretty slow Sunday evening, this man was acting like he was being inconvenienced by coming over. He of course did nothing for us, didnāt care that our waitress failed to mention the upcharges, just said āthatās just how it is, you ordered what you orderedā. I have never felt so appalled by someoneās customer service in a āleadershipā role. Seriously who gave this guy a manager job, you are doing this restaurant a disservice.
5) Food was not anything to write home about. Ot was tainted by the whole experience anyway.
Would not come to this location again and would likely try to go anywhere else if someone recommended Anitaās. There are plenty of other restaurants that are tasty and donāt treat their customer like trash.

We ordered carry out (fish tacos and nachos) and they said the order would be ready in 10 minutes. It was so surprising so we rushed over and it was true, the order was ready! Well... I should have known better.... the food was awful. The tacos were so bland and sopping wet. The nachos were 3 wet discs, also flavorless (more like open faced tacos). I wish we had taken photos but after eating a bit we were disappointed and dismayed, and threw away the rest. Who runs such a bad kitchen? I can't believe we paid money for this.

Never even able to get here. Tried to get here in the morning for their apparently famous breakfast burritos, but there is so much traffic in the area it's all backed up and it's impossible to make the left turn into their parking lot. You can't go down and u turn because there's just too much stopped traffic it will take you 30 minutes or more.
Tried to make a few rights to circle back to the cross road on the side, but pulled into the lots from that side but none of them connected to Anita's lot and they all have signs that parking is only allowed for their business.
So I can't recommend making the trip, traffic was a nightmare, nearby lots don't allow access, and it would take too long to get breakfast there if you persevered. Connect the lots people.

Super tasty TexMex style Mexican food in a relaxed, fun family-friendly environment. Chips and salsa arrive when you sit down and honestly the salsa is truly addictive! Spicy but not hot, just the right amount of flavors from the tomatoes and onions and cilantro. I had a grilled vegetable burrito packed with peppers, mushrooms, and onions. The refined beans are perhaps the best Iāve tasted, and the fresh jalapeƱos on top brought it all together. My dad had a breakfast burrito stuffed with eggs and potatoes and covered with cheese and refried beans. We both loved the food and the wait staff was friendly and easy going. Iād recommend any of their mothers Virginia locations for a great TexMex style Mexican dinner! Plenty of options for vegans (me), vegetarians, and meat eaters.
Vegetarian options: Plenty of delicious veg options.

Anita's is absolutely my favorite restaurant ever! Unfortunately Anita passed away. I use to see her fairly often at the Chantiily location. And while she was kinda stern with her waiting staff she was very kind to her customers. Back in the 90's I worked in Chantilly & would frequent the Anita's there about 2-3Ć's per week. Favorite dish is Chicken Burrito platter with red Chile & extra cheese. Pulling some of the cheese off the top with some of the red chile with a nacho chip is a taste I fell in love with.
