Very authentic food. Hot salsa was delicious. Always need to get a couple Papusas. The meat has always been full of flavor and fresh. The inside is small and you order at the counter. Get a real Coca-Cola with sugar. Breakfast burritos are large but I still get two.

Amazing Food. I hope they open back up soon. Great prices, but relatively small portions. Their flavor was on point. This place could use a face lift but truly a delicious place to have an amazing meal.

Great place for homemade pupusas. Friendly staff, great food, and peaceful. The salsa verde and jamaica are very delicious.

This is the best find! So easy to get to from I-35 & Johnson Dr. Excellent food! Family owned (they are wonderful)! We're hooked on the tamales! My favorite is the chicken tacos! We've been coming here for years!

Our first visit today for lunch and we had the taco platter. Soft and crispy ground beef tacos. We also ordered the chips and salsa(mild). The chips are wonderful and thick, not like the fast food type. The refried beans were great and I liked the rice as well. The tacos were great, corn tortilla for the soft was very good. I look forward to trying more of their menu. They gave us some samples of the green and the hot sauce. The green is amazing but has a little heat the hot sauce is hot.

Finally stopped for breakfast at Anita’s on Saturday morning and it was delicious. We tried the chilaquiles which were so wonderfully prepared for my takeout order. Everything was nicely organized and the chips thick enough that they didn’t get soggy after taking it to go. Also tried the tamales platter which were wonderful. I loved the salsa and ended up eating it like soup because I didn’t have any chips to eat with it.

Darling little restaurant!! Delicious carnitas, chorizo, hot sauce, and horchata! They have crunchy and soft tacos - the crunch are more American style with lettuce and cheese and soft are made with cilantro- both were delicious! They have fresh pupusas and chilaquiles - I can’t wait to come back and try the breakfast options. The owner even went out of her way to make a veggie platter option other potatoes and beans. The inside is small but cute. They offer delivery and take out too!
