Anita's is a local chain of authentic Mexican food. "Anita" was the owner's wife. Every single time I've been at Anita's, I've had a great meal and efficient service. They get it done.
Their breakfast menu is full of yummy choices. There are Mexican style favorites, some fun new Mexican options, and some American classics. I was happy with quality of something as simple as a two egg classic and equally as happy with the Santa Barbara Omelet, stuffed with guacamole. Their salsa is fresh and spicy. Listen to other options:Machaca Burrito
Shredded beef or fresh pulled chicken and scrambled eggs wrapped in a flour tortilla. Served with refried beans, homefries and "New Mexico Style" red or green chile.Mr. T Special
Sizzling strips of pork marinated in "New Mexico Style" red chile, grilled and served with two eggs any style, refried beans smothered with red chile, homefries and hot flour tortillas.There is something about sour cream, salsa, guacamole, and refried beans that compliments breakfast food quite nicely. Piping hot and fast, Anita's breakfasts are just scrumptious. Their coffee is nothing to write home about but it isn't bad. They offer free chips and salsa with your meal which I declined. It was just a little too early to eat chips and salsa.
Anita's home fries are shredded potato, loose, and fried to a golden crisp. Sometimes this style of home fry lends itself to a disappointing uncooked potato under the crisp outer layer but Anita's has never failed to give a satisfyingly crisp serving through and through each time.
The Fairfax location opens at a painfully early 5 AM! Each location has different hours, so check before heading out.
What? It is never to early for chips and salsa! I have not been there for breakfast but I was really not excited about their other meals. We have only gone twice and were disappointed both times. Maybe we'll have to try it again!!
ReplyDeleteOh bummer... Were their other meals not interesting enough? I found their breakfasts nice a simple. Sometimes people try to get too clever and ruin and perfectly good staple... not always, but sometimes. :)
ReplyDeleteI love breakfast for dinner so why wouldn’t I enjoy dinner for breakfast. Take a burrito, add eggs, and you have an instant breakfast burrito. I recently had Anita’s Famous Breakfast, a hot flour tortilla stuffed with homemade chorizo, scrambled eggs and cheese smothered with red chile and cheese. Mm mmmmm. I recommend breakfast from Anita’s. The breakfast was so good that I was convinced to take a trip to South of the Boarder in SC.
