We took my husband here in January for his birthday dinner. My boys loved it so much that my now 12 year old picked Anita's as his birthday dinner locatin last week in March! Good food, good prices, good service. It's a keeper!

Serious roach problem....don't go or go with a can of Raid! Sad because the Anita's has good food. Needless to say they need to clean up their act if they want to keep this location open.

Used to be a family favorite (20 years ago in Vienna) but now with time and expansion, they have ran the course. The place smells old and looks it too. Despite caring servers, the place needs a new start.

I have gone here a couple of times. In the past sevice was slow and mostly catch as catch can. But it has gotten a bit better. Still the food is good, and plenty of it. Breakfast is wonderful. Kinda cheap with the chips.

I saw a sign outside that said Anita's was open for breakfast. A colleague and I stopped by the next day when they opened. We were the only ones there. It took quite a while to get the meals and when we got them, they were cold, as if they'd been cooked and left sitting. I won't go back and... More

I come here monthly with a men's group for breakfast. The service is excellent and the food, which is Mexican, is excellent, both in value and in quality. I have not been here for dinner, as the ambience is less than stellar for that type of visit (it is in a strip mall).

We went one evening when the wait at Austin Grill was too long. The service was fine, but the food was quite disappointing. Not a single item was as tasty as the comparable version at Austin Grill. This may be just a preference for TexMex over real-Mex, but I was disappointed.

Probably the best Mexican restaurant in the Springfield/Burke area. Reason why I give it 4 stars and not 5 is simply because it doesn't have that great of an atmosphere. Never seems to be over half full, and it just seams a little quiet and dead. BUT, the food is great, and that's what keeps me coming back.

27 years ago I moved to Virginia, one of the first restaurants I ate at was Anita's. I loved the food then and today it remains the same. While not a 5-star restaurant it provides good tex-mex favorites that never fail; the staff has always been pleasant and attentive. If you are looking for a more authentic tex-mex fare, choose...

I decided to give it a try after nearly 5 years. Now I recall why I said I would never visit the restaurant again. There are no healthy options available and the quality of the food is less than mediocre. First the chips are ok, but the salsa is watery and of a very low quality. Second, I ordered the... More
