We live right around the corner from this place and I've walked past it a million times to get to the best Chinese food I've ever had that used to be next door(that's a different and sad story). Anaya's has always been on my try list, so we finally went and gave it a shot.
I'm always a little sketchy about different Mexican places than my standard ones, but I was pretty impressed with Anaya's.
I had my typical first time at any Mexican joint plate: Carnitas (with flour tortillas), and a red tamale on the side. The carnitas was REALLY good, I would say above average at worst. I was a fan. The meat was tender and flavorful. The tamale, on the other hand, was decent, but a HUGE drawback is that the masa layer is so thick I had to peel it away and eat it separately. The filling was great though. I have high standards for tamales, and it wasn't the best I've had.
Everyone else in my party was happy though. We splt nachos because of happy hour that were delicious. Wife had the Fundido burrito with shredded beef and she finished it happily. Brother in law had the Chicken Fajita Burrito; he enjoyed it. The good thing about the burrito plates is that they include sour cream and guacamole that is a freaking ridiculous upcharge elsewhere. Mama had the Spinach Enchiladas. She liked them, but had leftovers to spare.
Overall, it was very good (but slightly pricey) and we will definitely be back again.
