    Taqueria De Anda - Burrito De Carne Asada con salsa verde

    Taqueria De Anda isn't just a taco shop, it's basically a family member at this point. We've been…read moreloyal for over 40 years, and honestly, I don't know who I'd be without their tacos holding my life together. All locations are perfectly staffed and a flavor Mecca. The al pastor? Absolutely unreal. Perfectly seasoned, juicy, and packed with flavor that makes you pause mid-bite and reconsider every other taco you've ever eaten. The salsa is a perfect blend of heaven and "just one more spoonful," even though you promised yourself you were done. Now let's talk about the one negative...the napkins. Or as we lovingly call them, "taqueria napkins." Thin. Fragile. Basically decorative. This is not a knock, it's a rite of passage. These tacos are messy because they're made with love, and the napkins have bravely accepted their fate. In our house, if a restaurant has bad napkins, we say, "Ah yes... taqueria napkins," which is actually a compliment. The flavor of the well-seasoned meat is second to none, the mess is inevitable, and the happiness afterward is guaranteed. If you leave Taqueria De Anda clean, you did it wrong. Staple. Legend. Forever loyal.

    The tacos were okay, but the tortillas were a bit hard and so it took away from the overall…read moreexperience. I also ordered an horchata, but it appeared to come from a machine, which isn't my favorite style of agua fresca. On the positive side, the restaurant was clean, spacious, and had plenty of seating for dining in. The service was average--nothing particularly good or bad. Most of the staff stayed behind the counter, so there wasn't much customer interaction. Overall, it felt more like a chain restaurant. Not sure ill be coming back here.

    I've had this place bookmarked forever and finally found myself on this side of town, somewhere I…read morerarely go. So glad I made the trip. I walked in on a Friday evening and was surprised there was no line. I was immediately greeted by a woman who took my order, great service from the start. The two women working were doing everything themselves, from taking orders to making the food fresh, and still kept things moving at a very reasonable pace. I ordered the shrimp burrito with light rice and got the chipotle sauce on the side. They also have a CLEAN self serve bar with salsas, cucumbers, and limes, which is always a nice touch. The burrito was huge and so good. My plan was to eat half in the car and save the rest for later... but I ended up sitting in the parking lot and finishing the whole thing. Every bite had perfectly seasoned shrimp, no skimping at all. The interior is clean, minimal, and has plenty of seating. 10/10, definitely recommend.

    Super yummy place for asada, birria, or pastor fries! I was craving some asada fries & decided to…read moregive this place a try. I ordered the birria fries, birria empanada & my bf got the pastor fries with a fish taco plate! All the meats were good & quality meat. They have a lil salsa bar you can get your own salsas. The limes & cucumbers were already almost gone but maybe they didn't want to restock it since there was only an hour left til they closed. Enjoyed our meals. The agua frescas were delicious as well! Horchata & pina were our fave(: They're a busy lil spot, found parking right away. I will say they are on the pricey side so just be aware
