| - So, here's the thing: I'm not exactly sure who Anita is, but people are out here clamoring for her food.
For the past few years, my heart has belonged to Miguel's for all my Mexican food needs. When I had to work in a different city for a year, this place popped up on the scene and a bunch of my former coworkers began to sing her praises. When I came back down to the city, they basically forced me to go see Anita.
It really is a good place to eat, y'all. I see why it's so popular. They have a chicken soup that is absolutely amazing, if you're sickly or just want one. It's kind of like a fajita soup almost because there are a ton of veggies in there. The red enchilada sauce is delicious and I really, really love their hot sauce. It's got great heat and lots of flavor as well. The taco salad is another one of my faves. The shell is always crisp and tasty. If you like chorizo, give the choripollo a shot. It's a dish with seasoned chorizo and chicken over rice.
I am not a huge fan of their refried beans or rice, their chips aren't usually salted and I didn't love the quesadilla, but they've got SO many other things to choose from. I really don't mind going with other things. Not to mention, their portions are huge. Plenty of leftovers, if you want to split a meal up.
The service is always fantastic. Even if you have a large lunch order, it's filled relatively quickly and I've never heard of an order being incorrect with our crew. They have a lot of drink selections as well. Their sanitation score stays high, the line is often out the door and parking can be atrocious if you go anywhere from 12 noon until around 1:30 in the afternoon. There's not a lot of wiggle room inside because they made room for seating, but it's worth it.
Make sure to keep the door closed behind you if you're the last one in the line and once you order, if you're getting food to go, slide over next to the drink machine and wait it out over there. They'll call you one way or another. Sometimes they pop out of the door on the side, other times they'll lean over the counter. Keep your ears alert.
In short, my fave place is still my fave, but Anita's is solidly behind them. No question.
