Anna's Taqueria

Big portions for a great price. The grilled steak was nice & tender but a bit salty for the Nachos. The carnitas also tender & ducious in our Rice Bowl. Horchata reminds me of hime.

I been coming here for years, always have a great experience here. Food is prepared fresh everyday, everything tastes good. Why goto Chipotle when you can goto Anna's? They even have a "Super Super" burrito if you are really hungry 😋. Tastes amazing, made very fast, so many people coming and going- A perfect fit in the Coolidge corner neighborhood.

Came in before 11 so there were no other customers in the restaurant. Still had to wait 10-15 minutes for them to make my burrito. Their super burritos are listed at 8.95 yet somehow adding only extra rice and sour cream turned it into a 15 dollar meal..they're blatantly lying about their prices. This would be all well and good if the burrito was decent, but it wasn't. The steak was clearly a cheap cut of brisket and nothing like the delicious carne asada Annas had back in the day. While the burrito was huge, it was so bad even compared to large chains. I am a 20 year customer who will not be coming back.

Went to this Anna’s yesterday. Ordered quesadillas because we were going to an event and needed some thing quick. We were super disappointed. The only thing warm in the quesadillas was the shell and sliced cheese (😭) she put in it. Imagine cold vegetables inside that? Not good at all. I asked her to put the vegetables inside prior to heating up and she said they don’t do it that way. 🙄😳 Won’t be going back. And to boot, she rolled it like a burrito. Seeing this transpire in front of my eyes at the counter, I don’t even know why I paid and ate it. 🤷🏻‍♀️

Forget about Chipotle which is a poor imitator of the real Spanish food. Anna’s is my favorite burrito place. I get 2 guacamole’s with it because one is too little. And Jarritos drink to wash everything down.

What the hell?? $15.75 for this!! I usually like Anna's but I don't think I've ever been to this location. The absolute worst bowl I've ever seen. It was just sour cream, rice, beans, and meat. I paid for guacamole, didn't get it. Not to mention there was no pico, lettuce, or jalapeño which it usually comes with. I got delivery which says in the description it includes those things. No options to add them while ordering and couldn't see them prepare it of course. As a Mexican American, I'll stick to Anna's by MGH or Tenoch and Teresa's Market. So disappointed in Brookline

Love Anna’s, it’s been a go-to quick-dinner spot for me for a couple of years now. Tip: add the extra grilled veggies with your bowl/burrito, you get a lot for only $2ish extra! They recently added loaded nachos on their menu that are also a great choice!

Always have a great time here. Huge portions! As a vegan I always get my money’s worth. Love the interior and music too! So cozy. Love the warm lights at night. ⭐️

Great food, fast service reliable menu. Carnitas super juicy very fresh Gray place been going there for 25 years.

Do not recommend. Lunch with a friend: both burritos were very bland, quesadilla was bland and soaked in oil, chips were stale and the soda machine only had flat soda.

The food was a disaster as was the delivery. I did not get what I ordered, was charged for it, and not way to get a refund or the food I ordered. This is a terrible place--it used to be very good but no longer. Don't order from them --they are a distaster

This place fell off the food sucks and some of the staff are standoffish it seems. The al pastor was just salt the carne asada was nothing to get excited about and the carnitas were dried out and flavorless skip this spot amigos in brighton center is better right now.

Anna's got a fresh new coat of paint, looking good.

I love me some Chipotle, but I have to hand it to Anna's Taqueria, especially this location, for being the very best Mexican place with multiple locations in the area. The burritos, tacos, and quesadillas always taste super fresh and flavorful, especially the juicy steak, with good portions as well. I believe they use pretty organic ingredients all around. It's a good place to eat at or get take out, as you just pick out what you want and pay there at the counter. Highly recommended!

Food is not great quality. Beans barely cooked, meat dry. Seems to be a lot less popular than before. Won't be coming back.

Made my pregnant wife wait 20 minutes before rudely telling us they weren't open (yelp says they were open at this time).

The food is always good. The people providing service are the best. Except when there is a delivery . They owe me $26 dollars, which they agreed to pay me back because I got someone else's order, not mine. Tonight I ordered for myself and didn't get my soda. Now it's always something's missing when it's a delivery.

Yesterday was so disappointing. Got a very skimpy burrito, very short on filling which was probably a good thing because the Carnitas was totally gristley/hard stringy. There wasn't much left in the container but the clerk said it was good, so i went with it. It was SO NOT good! No wonder she barely put any in.

Sadly, I have to give Anna's two stars. I'm not sure what happened to them? Granted it's been a while since I've been in the area and had the opportunity of stopping by. Were they sold? I remember the men who would chop carnitas and veggies so quickly and efficiently. They would build the best burrito and definitely knew what they were doing. The staff seems to have changed and the people working there now barely know how to roll a burrito. The one I got came apart. The authenticity is gone. The food seems to be lacking in flavor. I would frequent the Beacon Street location frequently. Sadly, they closed the original.

Do not get habanero sauce under any circumstances. It was simply inedible, and I think I have a decent spice tolerance. Wasted a $12 bowl because I decided to add it.

What happened to you guys? Anna's was my favorite place​ in the whole city of Boston to go out and eat. Being in the restaurant business myself I know it's hard to please everybody. However, the past visits to Anna's have been less than satisfying to the point that I actually came to the conclusion as to why I put myself through the disappointment even though there is always a glimmer of h​ope you would come through the way you used to. I'm sorry Anna"s there's a lot of competition out there in terms of taquerías when you were the pioneers back in the early 90's. Time to move on.

I had the opportunity to visit Anna's Mexican restaurant, hoping to enjoy an authentic Mexican culinary experience. However, I was disappointed by the quality of the main dishes I tried: the tacos and burritos. The taste of the tacos and burritos was bland, far from what is expected from authentic Mexican food. The meat lacked seasoning, and the texture of the tortillas was nothing to remember. It's a pity, considering these are central elements in any Mexican menu. The salsa, which is normally expected to add a touch of flavor and heat to these dishes, surprisingly tasted like green peas. This flavor was not only unexpected, but it also detracted from the overall dish instead of enhancing it. In conclusion, Anna's did not meet expectations to provide an authentic and tasty Mexican experience. Greater effort is needed in the seasoning and authenticity of their dishes to satisfy those looking for the true essence of Mexican food.

The Birria Tacos are amazing!!! It was worth the drive from Lowell into Brookline. The staff are very welcoming and offer great service to first time customers. I think this is my go to spot when I'm thinking of tacos when in Boston. The only issue I saw was the language barrier of the Spanish speaking staff. I had to use my broken Spanish to make the ordering easier, but it was fun. Gives me a place to practice my Spanish lol.

Beware: Don't order online gift cards from Anna's Taqueria! I ordered a gift card for my kids (6 and 9) as a gift. I live in Florida, and they're in Boston and like Anna's. A few days after ordering it, I got an email saying they'd issue the card "when the cards arrived." Checked w my kids a couple of weeks later with the same person, no reply. Followed up with the company a further five times. They never sent the card...or even replied. They took the money and didn't send it. It was for children. I posted a one star review on Google about this, and that finally got them to care. They replied saying to contact them through the website I tried doing that. Their submission form is broken. Anna's, if you're finally interested in filling this purchase or giving me my money back that's the right and honest thing to do. I have all of the emails saved so you can see the name of the person I corresponded with that then ceased communications. Can't believe I have to say "thanks" after all this, but thanks.

You cannot go wrong with their super burritos. Filled with beef, rice, beans and several other fillings, its packed with flavor. The price is good, just hope the person you get making your burrito isn't skimpy. One of my regular spots for a simple dinner.

Although the temperature averages for Boston in late June suggest agreeably balmy summer weather--highs in the low 80s--we were reminded during our trip that "averages" are just that. We arrived in town on a Friday, when the mercury topped out at 70. When we visited Anna's on Monday a few evenings later, the temperature had skyrocketed to 96 or 97 during the day. (So yeah, the average for our three-or-four-day stay ended up being in the low 80s, but how meaningless that turned out to be.) This Anna's location apparently doubles as a thermal-energy-trapping hothouse, because the overall heat index inside this business on this evening had to have been in the 90s, even at 9pm. It was sweaty and stifling inside. (Just punishing--holy hell.) We found out that Anna's actually has an AC unit, because for one brief moment in the food line we could detect an extraordinarily narrow column of slightly cooler air weakly slicing through from above before it dissipated quickly in the oppressive mugginess. And damn, was that line slow. Also: I notice that Anna's social-media sites say that this local Mexican mini-chain recently celebrated its 25th anniversary in the Boston area. This location, which is rough around the edges to say the least, feels at least that old. But that chile verde burrito, once procured, made all of this discomfort worthwhile, because it was great (and very reasonably priced in Boston's expensive dining market): Plentiful, bold, tender pork, additional fillings (mainly rice and beans) that had home-cooking comfort-food flavor, and that chile verde had enough blistering firepower to thoroughly light up that heinie. The spiciest item I'd eaten in some time--and I like the spicy heat. Anyway, great eating. But don't ask for much else!

Takes way too long to pick up an online order (35 mins +), better to go in person where it's much quicker Needs to improve efficiency in fulfilling online orders

Picked up a burrito after work and when I opened it someone had a bite taken out of it...

Pretty good! Nice clean place, nice staff, solid food. My only complaint would be that it was neither spicy nor flavorful. Maybe they can fix that?

They sell some seriously monster sized quesadillas. Honestly, I'm not even sure it qualifies as a quesadilla (looks more like a burrito),but it was tasty anyway. For the amount of hype Anna's gets, I was expecting a bit more. For some reason, it tasted a bit bland to me. My quesadilla, which included rice, carnitas, cheese, tomatoes, hot sauce, salsa, sour cream, and guac, was definitely missing an extra dimension of flavor. But they give generous portions for a decent price, and it's great comfort food, so I'll probably be back anyway.

Everytime we come to the Boston area we have to come here and get burritos! My wife has been coming here since she was in high school and while some of the love is nostalgia, mainly the food is really good. I personally get the quesadilla because its a little crispy but honestly the burrito is very similar and a great option as well. Their chicken is excellently seasoned, but the carnitas are truly a thing of beauty. I can't get enough of them! Their salsas are good and honestly we haven't ever had a bad experience here. The line moves quick so don't hesitate to come in!

Got takeout last Thursday night. Food: 4/5 We got 2 grilled chicken burritos, one regular and one super. The super is definitely a good value (not to be confused with the super super). They do not skimp on meat, and their cheese is always gooey and delicious. A bit too much sour cream for our liking. We also got a side of the chip salsa, which has very good flavor. We wish there was a fish protein option, like El Pelon. Service: 5/5 Food was ready on time and they threw in free chips, possibly not intentionally.

Good tacos, carnitas we're juicy and the chips are good as well. Salsa is the best part!

Being always less than a 10 minute walk away from El Pelon during my BC undergrad years, I have always had a bias for it to the point that I did not want to try other similar establishments. However, after having Anna's Taqueria for the first time, I was immediately sold and am now making it my go-to spot for when I am craving some good old Mexican food (sorry el pelon)!!  In fact, I liked it so much, my friend and I came back AGAIN after just 2 days to have another one lol Anna's Taqueria's quesadillas are simply an invention of genius. They are more like burritos, except that the wrap has been grilled so that your fillings are encased in a crunchy and toasty outside. It's amazing how something as simple as that can really elevate the meal! My only feedback is that I wish they had more vegetable options to put inside your burrito/quesadilla (ie corn, peppers, etc) just to balance out the heaviness of the meal (& to make myself feel slightly better for stuffing myself with so much food lol). But all in all, to be full with good food for such a reasonable price--there is nothing more I need in life! I will definitely be back.

Some people say that Anna's is overrated but I disagree. The super quesadilla is a quesadilla burrito hybrid and it's incredible. Especially with their habanero sauce (which is different than their regular hot sauce) which is really nice and hot without being something only a masochist could enjoy.

La comida es buena las quesadillas Pero el servicio fatal totalmente fatal Demasiados trabajadores pero demasiado lentos

Customer service needs work. Twice they screwed up my order and I even paid to have it delivered...very disappointing! Called to inform the manager that half of my order wasn't in the bag and I got "sorry can't make door dash come back...you have to order online if you want the rest of your order". Tell me,... I'm overreacting?!?!

Do not order for pickup. Online orders for pickup are meaningless. They do not start the order until you arrive and wait in line. Typically this takes 15 minutes once you have arrived, after you ordered in advance. The food used to be really good but has declined

*Order from Ubereats* I have ordered from here a couple of times, but have never been in the actually restaurant , so this is purely a food review. Chicken Quesadilla The chicken is pretty tender, which is always hit or miss at any fast food type place. It could have used a bit more seasoning, but the other stuff in the burrito made up for it. I would give it a solid 3/5. There was nothing wrong with it per say, it just was a bit bland. Chicken Burrito The burrito and the quesadilla didn't taste different to me (not that they are really supposed to) but I think the burrito is a better bang for your buck (more filling). Again, there could have been a bit more seasoning on the chicken. Also the rice was very bland; it didn't taste bad, but it didn't have much flavor. Still 3/5 I'd say. Horchata I think I order from here just because I want an excuse to get this drinks. It's REALLY good. I don't have much to compare it to because this is the only place I've had a horchata (even though I know its a popular Mexican drink) but it is so good. 5/5! Lemonade: Now I have had lemonade before, and I'm not going to get carried away and say this is the best lemonade I've had, but its very good. You know the fresh squeeze lemonade you get at a carnival...yea, THAT type of lemonade is what this is. Just very yummy, right ration to sour and sweet. 5/5 all day. Total: Food 3/5 Drinks: 5/5 Overall: 3.5/5

Two of my favorite things at Anna's 1. Breakfast burrito - rice, black beans, eggs w/ vegetables, potatoes w/ meat, chorizo, lettuce, salsa, sour cream, jalapenos, and hot sauce 2. Quesadilla - same as above but you don't get the eggs and potatoes. If you are super hungry, go super size!

I loved me some Anna's. I always go there even tho los amigos is closer and there's other options. Maybe I never notice since I don't order tacos as much. The pricing for a tacos is $3.69 which is kinda pricy for a TACOS, but it is what it is. They ask me what I want in it.. doesn't it come with the usual stuff?!?! Salsa, lettuce, guacamole?! She asked if I want beans in it...weird but no! Upon paying the total for 5 tacos was $35.10 (somewhere along the line) my respond was "WHAT?!? For 5 tacos?" She then double check and said it's "$27.10" but still this is ridiculous!!!! You're telling me it's $5.42 for ONE ? The sign said it's $3.69 for tacos. She told me yes..it's all the stuff you add and it's .10 extra for guacamole.... NVM the extra .10 cent. Will someone please tell me what $3.69 get you for a tacos...the soft shell?! W nothing else inside. Gtfo!!!!! I would NEVER go back!! This is ridiculous...I understand it's Covid inflation...but seriously for $5 a pop it better be the best one. And trust me it's not!!! I must be missing something here.....smh

I used to like this place for its reasonable prices and tasty foods. I ordered a burrito in a bowl today and almost everything was salty. I barely ate 1/3 portion of the bowl with plenty of water afterwards. So disappointed:(

I ordered a meal for take out and it was wrong. I ordered a quesadilla and received a burritos. I called to ask for another item and I was told they could not get me a quesadilla. I was to to call back tomorrow and perhaps someone could help me. I asked for a refund and was told they did not know how to process a refund. Poor service, poor quality. Not worth the effort.

I ordered 2 grilled chicken tacos for take out, I open them up when I get home and it's just old, cold chicken with no fillings. None. Just cold chicken. Did they forget? Really don't understand but a big waste of money.

I've been going to Ana's for years and I just discovered they put sour cream in their guacamole and as a vegan, I can't eat it! So disappointed, please don't put sour cream in the guac! It's not necessary and limits who can eat it! Also, please put slightly less rice in the burritos and more refried beans as it often feels likes it's primarily rice. I like the taste of their beans and that's why I come but hope these other things get fixed!

Long before many other burrito chains came to Boston, Anna's Taqueria won my heart through my stomach, and it still ranks #1 in my book.

Needs more sauces such as chipotle cream and etc. the meat quality was good though. Also, the portion size was satisfying

First time at Anna's - it's located in a convenient spot and the staff are pretty patient with me (and my adding every single topping I saw and then some). The steak was really moist and cooked & seasoned very well! I really liked the guacamole and spicy sauce as well in my burrito bowl. I think I literally added every topping - the pickled jalepenos were definitely a plus! Will keep this on my to-go Mexican places in my future visits :) - cannot believe I actually ate a whole bowl in one sitting!

Absolutely pathetic attempt to serve customers. Don't come here unless you're prepared to wait for 30-40 minutes for a burrito

Anna's Taqueria looked very intriguing since it has a store front that looks like it would sell amazing Mexican food. I mean, Anna's isn't bad, but having standards and coming from LA, it really is just mediocre. I came here for dinner with a friend because we decided we wanted to have burritos. Walking in, the restaurant is spacious and there's plenty of room for seating. Concept is similar to Chipotle, you tell them what you want; meat; vegetables; beans; salsa; etc. I decided to get one of the smaller burritos because I wasn't too hungry. I got a steak burrito and the steak was overcooked and bland. It was really hard to chew throughout eating my dinner. Also, service here wasn't too hot either. Maybe since it's a fast food concept, but I didn't expect that from Anna's. The people putting together my burrito gave off a rude impression and while I was paying, the cashier slammed me back my card and pointed that I needed to sign. All in all, if you want mediocre burritos, come here. I've had better burritos from El Pelon and Felipes.

Every time I'm here at night the staff will start cleaning 3 hours early before they close. I love their quesadilla and horcheta drinks. The problem is that please don't use the same gloves to hold that extremely dirty towel to scrub the gunk or leftover food stains around the food area then use the same dirty gloves to make my food. It's so unsanitizing and I felt disgusted.

Really bad customer service. On several occasions I have placed an online order and they do not have any record of it when I arrive. Never an apology. They told me to use Toast and this doesn't work either. Food is mediocre at best.

Ordering on Uber eats, there's no place to specify anything. I tried calling to ask something that isn't listed on Uber eats. At first, I thought the woman couldn't hear me, hence why she hung up. Then, I called again with headphones because maybe it was my connection that was poor. And she hung up on me again....

Food was good but it turned my pickup from a takeout order to me waiting in like 25 minutes because the lady at the takeout side told me to sit in line to pick up my order. THEN I get to the front and they tell me to go to the takeout side where they hadn't even made my food yet

Horrible would not go back if it was free. Staff was kind of rude to. Just not pleased

Three orders, three incorrect deliveries in the past two months. The final involved a missing quesadilla which I paid $8.89 for. I would like a refund.

When I first moved to Boston, I didn't get the hype, but I think I didn't know how to order. Now I'm obsessed. The melted cheese on the tortilla, and their amazing guacamole. Sign me up. I love that there is one just across the street from MGH, so I can have food from the outside world, when I'm inpatient, and there is one right down the street from us in Brookline and they deliver! I'm still learning to master the online ordering, as one time my "Mexican plate" that specifically states it comes with rice, DIDN'T actually have rice (So I was eating a pile of chicken essentially) And when a burrito did not say it came with rice, they added it without me specifying... so that is kind of confusing. I just need to remember to be super clear when using online ordering. The restaurant itself, is located right on the edge of Coolidge Corner, and is super spacious AND has a working button for the door- so they earned mega bonus points with me early on. I actually have friends who are BU Alum, and live in different states and ask me about Anna's, and say how it's their first stop when they visit. SO GOOD. Can I have a burrito right now actually!? Yes please.

Oh man, doesn't get better than a carnitas burrito with extra jalapenos from Anna's when in need of a quick cheap meal. Never fails to make me feel like I am back in college, all good memories. Just make sure you know what you want before you get in line.
