The Scene
With a lack of other bargain dining options in the area, this fast food Mexican chain enjoys an amazing volume of customers, most of whom are area students and young professionals in search of a quick, cheap bite. You have a good chance of landing a seat among the studenty crowd; service is friendly and competent, but less so when the line's out the door.
The Food
Anna's limited menu includes hefty burritos, gooey quesadillas and over-stuffed tacos; all are meals in themselves. The super burritos feature a choice of grilled chicken, tender pork carnitas, moist steak or grilled vegetables with rice, beans, cheese, salsa and hot sauce inside a giant flour tortilla. Weighing in well over a pound and costing under $4, this is one of the city's best bargains. The house salsa, chilled and cilantro-heavy, goes great with crunchy, warm tortilla chips.

Huge stuffed burritos (chicken, pork, veggie or steak) with lots of sides to go in with it. I get the super chicken with rice, cheese, extra salsa and hot sauce. It takes about 2 minutes to order, watch them make it, and pay. $5 for a big Mexican meal wrapped in a tortilla, the best! Other dishes (tacos, quessadillas, etc) look good too, but I cannot resist those burritos whenever I go.

Anna's is great for a quick lunch- tell them your order and move down the line to add your toppings. Everything is VERY fresh and quite authentic- none of those canned refried beans here, they make their own and it shows. Great chips and salsa too, but their burritos will bring you back again.

These fist-sized burritos are easy on the taste buds as well as the wallet. I love the steak burrito, and the staff are very helpful about asking what cheeses and other toppings I want in it. The meal is so large that I always leave so stuffed! There?s a small seating area, but it gets crowded, so I usually prefer to do take out.

The Extras:
Sorry, senor: The restaurant serves no alcohol. If you really crave a Corona with your burrito, take it to go.
Know Before You Go:
Be sure to fuel up on cash before you show up, as no credit cards are accepted. But don't despair: If you forget your wallet, you'll probably be able to scrounge up enough in your pockets for a taco.
