    Las Anita's is a little bit hidden but the owner and staff are so sweet, food is super fast & tasty!

    You have to request cold salsa. It's decent.
    Adam H.

    Meh. I'm not sure if this joint is affiliated with Casa Anita's (La Porte), but the food here is equally marginal. First, the salsa is served warm, and that's sacrilege to me. I asked for a cold version and the server pointed to the bland green sauce and said "That's cold." I responded, "Yes, and I want cold red sauce." Only after another server came around and said "Salsa fria! Fria!" did he bring me a cold bowl of the stuff. It was fairly bland and not worth the trouble. The tostada here is good ... warm beans and cold lettuce. Too bad the salsa added very little flavor. Rice and beans here are par for the course. The tamale was better than what many places offer -- al dente masa and decent flavor. The cheese enchilada, albeit fresh, was akin to what I would find in the frozen food section of the grocery store. There are some beers here served on draft ... extremely cold. And the service is mostly exceptional. I wish I could say the same about the food.

    We had to give this a try, since it is pretty much the closest mexican restaurant that seemed more Mexican side than the usual tex-mex spot. The dining room was at 50% capacity when we got there, they had sanitizing stations up at front, and you were seated when arriving. We were brought the usual chips and salsa, but the salsa was not the best, not spicy with not much flavor in my honest opinion. When looking at the menu, I realized with was more if a tex mex with some of the hole in the wall menu options, but not many. They didn't have barbacoa, no gorditas, no tortas, not the true Mexican Taqueria menu. We ordered the chorizo con huevo and the chicken enchiladas. The chorizo said it came with rice and beans, but I subbed the rice for potatoes, which were cubed and fried and came with 3 flour tortillas. The plate was pretty big and very good! The enchiladas had a sort of cheese sauce in top and he really much enjoyed them too! The food was good and the price was even better! Also, they did have a soft serve ice cream machine which was a nice way to end good meal!

    New place that I tried tonight. Co-worker recommend it. Service was good. Family owned, always a plus! I ordered the shrimp something ( yes, I forgot what it a was) also ordered the chicken taco plate. The house margaritas were good! I would come back. National Taco Day! #tacotuesday

    Las Anita's was the agreed place for lunch since it was a central location for me and my lunch companion. I didn't have any expectations upon arriving since neither of us had been there before, it was just a mutual place. Usually, little unassuming, mom & pop Mexican restaurants have some of the best food, but this place fell short. The food was absolutely bland! We both ordered the fajita taco salad (chicken for me, beef for them) and neither one of us were impressed. I had to add salsa, salt, and pepper to make it edible. The only plus was the nice size water cups. Meh!

    Although admittedly we found this place during COVID ops, and haven't dined in yet, we've ordered takeout now for the 4th time. I have to say, everything has been spot on and delish for takeout quality! Staff is always friendly and attentive when picking up, and also wearing the proper PPE. Speaking of PPE, my best flying bud Jeff and I were flying back from Anchorage where I felt like I was getting sick. So for 6 hours, this poor dude wore his PPE all the way back to protect himself from my belly ache. When we landed the mask impressions took 2 whole days to go away!!! But I digress....We really like this place and can't wait to enjoy some drinks and their food next time when we dine in! Great job guys and keep up the good work!

    Don't be fooled by the server who never writes anything down. Very impressive, right up until you get your plate. 3 times I have ordered the same thing, the same way, and 3 times it has been wrong to the table. Not anymore. And if you decide you just HAVE to come and try it yourself, I recommend not coming while Monday Night Raw is on.....they love to gather at the bar and watch wrestling.

    Very cozy, home style Mexican spot. It's very small compared to the local mexican places. They have decent prices and make homemade tortillas and salsa's. I loved their patio area, the service was great and I left full and happy. The queso comes with delicious crisps that my husband loved. I ordered the Milanesa (fried beef with slices of avocado, tomato, and onions). I felt like I was eating a Cuban dish- and it deff was cooked in a skillet. We went when it was dark out, and enjoyed watching the colorful Endeavor condos change colors.

    Perfect little shop for good food! Ceviche (fish & shrimp) tostada was a perfect lighter meal-…read morebut beware of the Jalapeño slices if you don't like heat! Decor is fun!

    Let's start with the good and end with the bad. First off,…read morethe horchata was really good definitely one of the highlights of the meal. The torta, though? Not going to lie... pretty mid. The fajita had good flavor, but there was nowhere near enough meat. There was so little fajita on it that I started wondering if the torta was on a diet. By the time I got back to work and actually sat down to eat it, the bread was already getting soggy from the mayo, which didn't help. For $11, I was expecting a considerably bigger torta and a decent amount of meat. At this size and portion, I'd say $5-$7 would be more reasonable. The rice was probably the weakest part of the meal. It was very plain and didn't have much flavor at all. I also tried the green and red sauces. Green sauce was actually pretty good. The red sauce, however, tasted like regular Pace Picante sauce... just watered down. I've seen some other reviews saying the tacos are pretty small, and after this experience, I'm definitely curious to see for myself. I'll be back for the tacos, so stay tuned for the Taco Update. Overall, not my favorite spot, but I wouldn't completely write it off. Maybe I'll swing by every few months or more and give it another shot. The tacos might redeem this place... we'll see.

    I'm finally dusting off my old 2017 review for Boondoggles to provide an update…read more ​I returned here last night for a pre-birthday outing. While randomly Googling, I remembered Boondoggles and decided to give the 'old place' another try. My first visit was for a dinner with classmates from UHCL; my second was with my brother. ​The eatery looked practically the same as it did nearly eight years ago. Its dive bar meets German beer hall vibe is still very much alive, and the place was still bustling with people. I came in with fish and chips on my mind, but a lengthy scan of the menu led me to the Florentini Chicken, while my brother ordered the shrimp po-boy. ​The Florentini Chicken was really good, and I think it's a solid choice for the health-conscious. The chicken was tender and the vegetables were perfectly crisp. My only wish was that the entire dish had been a bit larger, as the mashed potatoes were gone in just a few spoonfuls. On reflection, while the Florentini Chicken deserves a try, I'll probably stick with pizza next time. ​I asked my brother how he liked his shrimp po-boy, and he had no complaints, so I'll take that as a sign he enjoyed it. Price-wise, while the costs may have risen over the years, they were not unreasonable.
