Anna's Taqueria

This taco place is one of my favorites in Boston. The authentic taste of the food and the freshness of the ingredients are what have me coming back for more. The staff is very friendly and there is plenty of seating available. Parking is a bit tricky but there are meters around. Deserves the 5 stars no doubt.

We tried quesadillas with chicken and rice, a bowl of rice chicken and frijoles refritos, and tacos with extra guacamole. Portions are pretty generous and everything was very tasty, feels like original. You can take out, or eat there: there’s a large room with tables and chairs that accommodates more than twenty people.

Boston's best burritos are served at Anna's Taqueria, hands down. Out of Anna's remaining competitors, El Pelon comes closest. Boloco, Chipotle, Maria's, Felipe's, and Qdoba don't even deserve to be in the conversation. Anna's is the yardstick that all Boston burritos should be judged against. I've been a loyal customer for over seventeen years, having visited their Brookline, Allston, MIT, Beacon Hill, and Somerville locations over 50 times per year on average when I lived in Boston. Until a singular recent bizarre experience where my carnitas were way over-cooked, I had NEVER had a bad burrito from Anna's. That's well over 500 burritos, and only 1 miss. I usually get my Anna's burrito with carnitas, red beans, salsa, guacamole, hot sauce, rice, and cheese. Sometimes I'll get some or all those things in a quesadilla. Their ranchero chicken is also good. Reading other reviews, and watching people order here, I've come to realize that not everyone "gets" this place. So I've developed a few simple rules to help you during your visit to Anna's Taqueria: #1. Do not order the tacos or bowls, which are both "meh" and should be removed from the menu. Stick to burritos and quesadillas, which Anna's is awesome at. #2. Don't ask for lettuce and sour cream. This isn't Taco Bell. Those ingredients are extraneous and make a sloppier, less focused burrito. #3. Don't order in Spanish unless you know Spanish. The person serving you, nor the guy behind you finds this amusing. Hurry up, I'm hungry. #4. Understand that burritos are NOT Mexican. Don't believe me? Look it up. Abandon any ideas you have of there being a "right way" or "wrong way" to make a burrito. Abide by these rules above and you'll enjoy your experience. Defy them, and come back and whine in a review about why this place didn't meet your expectations. :-)

NEVER AGAIN!!! Although the manager did issue a refund after we pressed for the items that were inedible.

Great food! Burritos are so tasty and some of the best guacamole!

Meh. I went here back in 2015 and just revisited again while visiting friends. I can understand if times have changed, but coming from Southern California we are as particular about our Mexican food as a Southerner is with their Biscuits and Gravy. This place has the flavor, but the portion size for the price is where I draw this rating from. Mexican food for us is cheaper than McDonald's and packs 1000x the flavor. I wish i made this review back when i first dined here, but honestly lower your prices or up your portion size. $6+ for a Taco Bell sized bean and cheese burrito is just lousy.

Love the mission style burritos here. Been making trips in the city for 10 years just to continue my college days eating the 3.75 burrito to pad out the meal plan. The menu has expanded but the quality and flavor have remained high. You'll find a few on par, but it's tough to find a better burrito in the area.

One of the best burritos I've ever had 😍😍
