My favorite Sunday morning breakfast dive. Every once in awhile I get to pick up a City, County or State cop's tab ('cause I like cops-they do a dirty job without any credit- ok?) while I sit with 20 or 30 of my closest friends.....couldn't they take out just a table or two? If you like yor eggs with cold unbuttered toast Anita's is Nirvana for you. And the hash browns are completely tasteless and usually cold. The bacon seems to be deep fried, not cooked in a pan or on the grille and the coffee is wretched. Why do I like this place? Where else can you go other than IHOP for breakfast in Fairfax County? Don't even mention Tastee29 which I despise for persoanl reasons- my Jag was "keyed" in an obvious temper tantrum brought on by auto envy by some redneck that didn't care that I got there first and "stole" his parking spot. So I choose Anitas because....well, because it's ...there.

Best Mexican food in the DC area. Anita's is one of my favorite restaurants; delicious food at all locations. Try the taquitos con queso -- they're the best! The staff is always friendly and attentive, but never obtrusive. Highly recommended!

Actually, this is not "Mexican food", it is "New Mexico-style Mexican food." For those of you who have lived in New Mexico, you will know what I'm talking about. This branch of the Anita's chain has its own charm, to include an outdoor patio section. Order the chile con queso as an appetizer. The shredded beef is excellent here, as are the nice list of burritos, entree salads, and combination dishes. For breakfast, try the enchiladas topped with red chile sauce and a fried egg. Other breakfast options also include the traditional American breakfasts of steak and eggs, bacon and pancakes. For those watching their budgets very closely, Anita's also has a very nice set of carry-out options for mostly less than $2 per item, available most days before 4PM. The breakfast burrito is satisfying and inexpensive so you can eat it on the go. Usually you will see a table full of Fairfax County's finest, and they always know where to get ... more

You call this Mexican food. Even Taco Bell tastes more authentic. Maybe it’s because I used to live in the southwest and know what real Mexican food tastes like. At any rate if you’re looking for dressed up American food go here.

One of my favorite mexican restaurants! The service is always good, the food always great! And the staff is always very friendly when I stop in to pick up a to-go order on the way home from work. And I love that it's a LOCAL chain, not some bland mega-chain (like Don Pablo's, Chi-Chi's and the like).

This place is a mecca for locals. The food is very good, though I have to say that it used to be consistently excellent before when "Anita" was more involved in the day to day operations. With the expansion into several branches, the quality has been diluted somewhat.... but the food is still head and tails above all other Mexican operations nearby.
