Anita's New Mexico Style Mexican Food

I’ve been enjoying Anita’s breakfast burritos for many many years… it’s a Northern VA staple!! While near this location one morning I stopped in for their original, signature breakfast burrito with extra red sauce inside. Service was quick, as I ordered via the kiosk when I went in. They were a little bust, as there were three others waiting for food ahead of me and a few more that walked in after I came in. I waited maybe less than 5 minutes for my food to be made. Took it back to my hotel and enjoyed that burrito!! They do a nice job with them… the balance of flavors and the freshness – it was all great! This place gets overly judged, which is unfortunate for places that have been around, locally for so many years (even tho this is new location for the chain)… Overall, it’s really

not your average Tex-Mex. The all day breakfast burritos were a hit, and the red and green chile sauces are a must-try if you like bold flavor. Anita’s is absolutely worth a stop!

Easily one of the worst Mexican foods I have had in Ashburn and greater DMV area. Had better Mexican street food than this restaurant. Tortilla chips were the only acceptable food on the table today. Only one table occupied for lunch on Friday should have been my warning sign. I love a quick service but less than five minutes should have been another warning sign. First time here in a decade and never again going anywhere near this place.

Stopped into Anita’s in Ashburn and lucked out with Kelly as my waitress — she’s awesome, funny, and has the kind of upbeat personality every restaurant needs more of. Seriously, we need more Kellys in the world and a lot fewer Karens. She kept things light, kept the coffee full, and somehow managed to make everyone in her section feel like regulars. The food came out hot and fast — classic New Mexico-style flavors with that perfect comfort-food kick. The breakfast burrito and red chile sauce hit the spot, and the place has a relaxed, hometown vibe that makes it easy to settle in. Prices are fair, portions are generous, and you leave full and happy. If you go, ask for Kelly — she’s the MVP.

Anita's has been around for several years now and at this point I would consider it a Northern Virginia institution. It's always a joy having a meal here with their big portions and bottomless chips and salsa, which by the way I would drink a pint of if I could. It's got that spicy kick that is just right for me, and the right consistency to pour over everything. My go to is always the Anita's combo, which has a crispy taco, cheese enchilada, a chimichanga, rice, and beans all doused with their red sauce. It will definitely conquer any appetite of any size. Staff are always friendly and hard working. Never had a complaint with Anita's, I always look forward to our next meal here in Ashburn.
