I feel like I’m not a real foodie when I say I love Anna’s – but I DO! Don’t get me wrong – my favorite Mexican place in Boston is still Cantina La Mexicana. However, Anna’s does some things really well, and for the price and speed, it’s totally worth it.
One of my favorite items to get is the Al Pastor Taco (shown above). For only $1.70 each, these mini tacos are packed with spicy and flavorful pork, tons of cilantro, chopped onions, and red spicy sauce. Squeeze a bit of lime on top, and you’re in heaven. All for only $3.40.
What a bargain.
Other favorites: the quesadillas are HUGE. They are essentially huge burritos that are grilled with cheese. YUM – So good, but really heavy. You might not be able to eat dinner after having one of those!
I really like the chile verde meat option, which is braised pork, roasted with a variety of hot peppers. It’s really flavorful and more juicy than the plain carnitas (roasted pork with traditional Mexican seasonings).
Sometimes, if I am feeling healthy, I will get 1/2 and 1/2 grilled vegetables and chile verde. I tried 1/2 grilled vegetables and 1/2 carnitas, but it was not as flavorful.
Add-ons can quickly increase the cost of the burrito. For example, adding guacamole will set you back an additional 75 cents, sour cream 55 cents, and cheese, 65 cents.
Over all, this is a great place to go if you need yummy and cheap food FAST. Sure beats McDonalds.

Wow, that taco looks really good. I’m goign to have it next time.
nice header graphic by the way. Is it new?
I refuse to consider good street food as non-foodie places. They are great spots, and your choice looks top notch! Not everyone can afford to have something smothered in truffle butter. Long live the Food of the People! Taqueria Guadalajara is one of my favorite spots — lengua es muy delicioso.
LIvia – There’s an Anna’s right at MIT! So close!
The header graphic is sort of new, maybe about a month or two old?
Wasabiprime – I totally agree! I LOVE street food. Have you ever been to Taiwan or Singapore? The BEST street food ever! I’m sure it’s good in Mexico too, I’ve just never been there.
great … now I’m craving Anna’s while I’m in SF. gotta get real (“better”?) Mexican food now to overthrow that craving …
I love Anna’s!! I love that it is owned by Japanese people too. And I love that I’ve discovered a fellow Boston food blogger! I will be reading your blog on my reader.
