Anna's Taqueria

Pros: Extremely tasty food for next to nothing
Cons: It's so busy, you can't always get a table.

Okay, so my friends and I aren't the richest teenagers in Brookline. Luckily, we can get a fantastic meal, or a perfect between-meal snack, for only three dollars at Anna's Taqueria. Our personal favorites are the steak quesadillas (ask for a super...

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: 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 good mexican food
Cons: Small restaurant

Anna's combination of cheap good plentiful mexican staples worked so well that they were able to open another branch. Even though it is a hole-in-the-wall, the original restaurant is always crowded with locals and college students.
Mexican basics...

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: 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: 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...

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: 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: 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: 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: 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: Best buy in Boston bar none
Cons: cant think of any

i am the cheapest guy in Boston [ask my girlfriend] yet when i pass ANNA'S i can't resist stopping for some of their CHEEP but DELICIOUS fare. i will drive from Jamaica plain ,[where i live and has many eateries] to get a Mexican plate from 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: 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...
