Anna's Taqueria

Pros: great food, cheap, fast
Cons: may be hard to find a table

My brother Charlie has been raving about Anna's Taqueria for months. He promised he'd take me there last summer and then again for my birthday in February, but, for some reason, the timing never worked out right. When I graduated from college two...

Pros: Very cheap, the food is fresh and tasty.
Cons: Dining area could be cleaner.

Anna’s has won cheap eats awards for many, many years and is well known for its fresh, cheap and filling food. Mexican food is hard to find in the Boston area, although in the last couple of years several burrito joints have opened. Anna’s is ...

Pros: Quick, delicious fare, at very good price
Cons: They are only in Boston

So recently I was training for a new job and Boston and happened to be staying over night a few nights a week, so of course I had to eat. Being from CT and making some New York City trips my only exposure to the made to order Burrito establishments was ...

Pros: Fast service, good quality, great price
Cons: none really

I had a little business to take care of in Cambridge, so I asked my brother in law for some good places in the area to get a quick bite to eat. I refuse to eat in places like KFC and McDonalds. When I ordered meat, I want to make sure that I'm getting...

Pros: good, warm, cheap
Cons: not very flavorful

Anna's has the best burritos for the money in the Boston area. They are hot, stuffed almost to overfilling, and cost only around $4. When you want something good and cheap, here is where to go.

Anna's offers a standard variety of burritos -...

Pros: Everything.
Cons: Can't make it there often enough.

Forget that Taco Bell junk and those stupid "wraps" trying to make you think its a burrito, this place takes me back to the taco stands all over southern California. And it is more like a taco stand than a restaurant - they have a few tables,...

Pros: for less than $4 you can get yourself a high quality, fresh, tasty meal.
Cons: because it is popular, expect long lines at peak hours

Ok, so maybe I'm no Columbus for finding a cheap taco place... but at least I'm not claiming to be the first. In the world of cheap tacos, its nice to find a place that actually serves up burritos and tacos made of high quality ingredients. Even...

Pros: quick service, delicious food, great prices
Cons: too few tables

Anna's Taqueria, in Brookline's Cooledge Corner, is a must-eat. Anna's has two locations: the original restaurant on Beacon Street, and the second Anna's around the corner on Harvard Street.

At Anna's, you come in the door and get in line. At...

Pros: Homemade, fresh ingredients, fast service, cheap!
Cons: very busy on weekends and at dinnertime can be hard to find a seat

Anna’s is not only well-known among the college set in Boston, but has won rave reviews in The Boston Herald, The Globe and has been featured on both TV Diner and Phantom Gourmet. If you’re looking to “run to the border” for an overprocessed taco-bell ...

Pros: Delicious, Cheap, Fast, Did I mention delicious?
Cons: Crowded at times, Not an international chain, Closes at 11pm

The hardest part of going to school away from home for me is being away from Anna's Taqueria for prolonged periods of time. Without fail, my first stop on the way back from the airport during each vacation is at Anna's. It is simply that good. Anna's ...

Pros: Authentic & Cheap!
Cons: The tortillas are subjective...

Let's get things straight up front...this isn't taco bell, or anything like it that matter. Sure, its just as fast, and probably even cheaper...but the taste is no where close. And I'll be honest here - if you are looking for the overprocessed fast...

Pros: Delicious, affordable burritos
Cons: May not be able to get a table there

I've been going to this restaurant since the day it opened. In fact, I know the owner, Mike, because he used to own the Boca Grande chain of restaurants in Cambridge.

Mike is originally from San Francisco. He was looking for a career change...

Pros: High Quality Ingredients, Low Price
Cons: Service (employees), Over Crowded-ness

In the pursuit of cheap, filling, satisfying, high-quality, authentic cuisine, there's only one place to go: Anna's Taqueria.

This small, but grossly loved, chain of about 5 restaurants serves up the best burritos this side of Mexico. The...

Pros: Excellent authentic Mexican food, cheap
Cons: Can get very busy at dinnertime and after

The Beacon Street location of Anna's Taqueria fulfilled every one of my desires for a quality Mexican restaraunt. The faire is simple, yet all types will be able to select a meal that will please them and fill them up. The standard items are burritos,...

Pros: Cheap, fresh food, vegetarian friendly
Cons: Long lines

I'm an old school Anna's fan (this is the second one; the first's in Brookline). Anyways, it's cheap and the food is fresh and wonderful. They prepare everything right in front of you, so you can see the quality of the meats and veggies (and you can...
