This was my first visit and I had high expectations. The salsa was good and the homemade tortillas were excellent. I ordered a chicken burrito with red sauce, pretty basic it was dry and had zero flavor. My husband had a combo plate with enchiladas, tamale and a taco so we sampled all of the standard fair. Again his was... More

The restaurant has a completely open floor plan which makes it very loud. The food was mediocre and the service was very slow. Prices are about average for a Mexican restaurant however, I feel overpriced for the quality of food. I had cheese enchilada that were drowning in sauce, I could hardly see them or taste them for that matter.

Over 25 visits (at Least!) and never a bad meal or service. People come for the fresh made flour tortillas, that are made in front of the customers, and the the Great food, Not a bad item on the menu. Order the Steak Ranchero. It is not on the menu, kind of a "regulars" item. The drinks are well made... More

Best steak tacos ever! Been coming here for years...Never ever disappoints...The owners will usually come by your table to make sure everything is excellent. They have a flour tortilla maker right in the middle of the restaurant. Great chips and salsa, fresh flour tortillas. Great wait staff. Family restaurant. Expect to wait during peak hours.

Wow, this place was great! A friend who had just moved to the area had heard of this place, and I was in town for business. We decided to meet up here for an evening of food and visiting and we both enjoyed the meal. The portion sizes are huge. Granted I had the special, but the food came out... More

Went here while visiting with old family friends who are regulars at Anchos. The food was nothing short of fantastic. The warm home made tortillas- YUM, my bacon wrapped shrimp- YUM my cadillac margarita- YUM. I sure wish that I lived a lot closer, I would go weekly! Then, I couldn't believe how reasonable the bill was for the quality... More

Anchos serves a Southwestern style of Mexican food. The flavors are somewhat different than the Mexican food we are used to, but the overall quality of the food is very good. If you go at the right time they have staff making fresh tortillas. Fun to watch and eat.

I have been coming here for years and there is a reason to make your way here, the skirt steak, tortillas & salsa. Great for leftovers too. I get the Caesar Al Carbon with Mesquite Grilled Chicken and they substitute the skirt steak. That is the best when you don't want to eat too much. It is a little higher... More

We've been enjoying Anchos since it opened many years ago and it remains one of our favorites. It's the closest to New Mexican style food we can get in the area. Some things even taste fresher including the tortillas made while you watch. Unique family-oriented atmosphere, a little noisy but lots of fun.
