Popular local chain sells straightforward, overstuffed burritos and quesadillas, served fast and cheap.
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.
