Editorial Review for Anna's Taqueria – by Citysearch Staff
The Scene
With a lack of other bargain dining options in the area, this fast-food Mexican chain enjoys an amazing number 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 student crowd; service is friendly and competent, but less so when the line is out the door.
The Food
Anna's limited menu includes hefty burritos, gooey quesadillas and overstuffed 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 more than a pound and costing less than $4, this is one of the city's best bargains. The house salsa, chilled and cilantro-heavy, goes great with crunchy, warm tortilla chips.

Insider Tips
The ExtrasSorry, senor: The restaurant serves no alcohol. If you really crave a Corona with your burrito, take it to go.
Know Before You GoFuel up on cash before you show up, as no credit cards are accepted. But if you forget, you'll probably have enough change in your pockets for a taco.

There is nowhere else that will serve up such large portions of delicious food for prices so low! I don't live in Boston anymore, so I have to eat at extremely second-rate Qdoba if I want a burrito. But every time I go and visit Boston, I have to stop at Anna's. My favorite is the al-pastor burrito! And I love the staff. They are so fast, I almost feel like I'm slowing them down by ordering! I also love the lemonade- refreshing and delicious. This is by far my favorite cheap food place in Boston, if not the whole East Coast.
Pros: Food, service, long lines move quickly, cheap
Cons: none!

Found hair in my Burrito and was overchaged. I WAS a loyal customer that put up with the bad service (3yrs)but the hair in my food was just too GROSS to go back again!!!
Pros: food is good
Cons: Service stinks!!
