Since moving from the DC Metro area, I’ve lamented the absence of many of the fine restaurants in the area. One of these places is Anita’s. Their delicious New Mexican offerings always come through with vibrant flavor. And this morning’s breakfast burritos hit the spot.
I’m often tempted to vary from my fave, the chorizo and egg burrito, but I seldom do. It’s hard to resist perfection wrapped in a flour tortilla.
But breakfast isn’t their only claim to fame. The lunch and dinner entrees all hit the spot. I’ve been enjoying one branch or another of Anita’s for decades, and this branch keeps true to form. For price, quality of the food and service, these guys rock.

I had the Old Town Special. When it came out, I was like, “What did I order?” But it was alright. My only gripe was the amount of salt on the potatoes. That said, it was very filling for the price—an incredible deal. I actually ordered it because I saw someone post about it in their Google review. I’d absolutely recommend asking the server for a recommendation instead though—or going with one of their insanely low-priced burritos!
The servers were pretty responsive and kind. When you walk in, they seat you (though your table might change later). You’re given some chips and salsa, which tasted kind of like store-bought Pace and was a bit runny. Be careful—if it’s too runny, it might spill in your lap when you go in for a dip.
Parking is one way so be aware and don’t accidentally drive forward to get to the other side (depending on how you entered) or your car will be mad.

After hearing positive reviews, I decided to try breakfast at this restaurant. I chose the Machaca burrito, which was generously filled with beef, green onion, green chili, and eggs, all topped with melted cheese and served with a side of potatoes. It was satisfying. While the restaurant’s atmosphere was pleasant, some updates could improve the overall dining experience.

Be aware that this is a new mexico style and not your average texmex with a regional specific menu. We were served toetilla chips with a very red and watery sauce. Me and my husband and I enjoyed a chicken quesilldia as a starter. When it was served, it was cut oddly. With 2/3 and 1/3 after clearly saying we would split it. I had the 1/3 for the most part. It included a red Chile sauce. All the cheese was in the middle. Very little cheses was in the quesilldia overall. It was very messy and did not hold well together needed a fork. We next each got the enchilada casserole it was good. It had good red chili sauces with a bite. The refried beans were excellent and the best part of the entre. Rice include suttle flavors with a sweetness that interacted with the bite in the red chile sauce in the enchilada. We finished off dinner with refried ice cream and ice cream with fresh churros. The ice cream was delicious and did not taste like a mass-produced ice cream with an excellent vannila faivor. The texture of the fried ice cream was soft on the inside crunchy on the outside. The churos were a nice suttle cinnamon flavor that worked well to bring out the vanilla in the ice cream. The service that was attentive without being overbearing.

I haven’t been to Anita’s in Fairfax in a while and I was craving their famous Breakfast Burritos. And they did not disappoint. I ordered 2 Breakfast Burritos a beef Taco and a side of Spanish Rice and everything was delicious. The server Milagro, did a great job talking with me to create my order and did a great job refilling my ice tea and water. I like the interior decorations that transported me into a cool New Mexican spot near the border…

Only reviewing about breakfast, drive through and take out. The breakfast special burritos are so good. Unfortunately I get a discount because I’m part of an organization that they give them to but it depends on the cashier that I run in to so that inconsistency is a bit annoying.

Great Mexican food. We got to the restaurant at 8pm and were told we need to finish by 9pm, which we managed to do.
Servers were friendly and quick. Food was tasty. The mexican rice was delicious. Everything from the fish tacos to the enchiladas was good.

Visited this place for breakfast on Saturday. Out server recommended Machaca burrito and it was unbelievably good. The server was so friendly and she loved our two kids. The price is so affordable too. We loved it so much so we bought the $100 gift card for future use. Definitely would come back for quick breakfast or lunch. Plenty of parking and they even have a drive thru. Would love to try other dish here too.
