Taqueria De Anda

I used to live in Anaheim and I LOVED this place and their Pastor Burritos. So of course I talked it up to every person who was visiting with me and then the Pastor was greasy, chewy and way over cooked.
As usual the customer service was great!
I would have rated lower but my college day nostalgia kicked in when I remembered how good De Anda is at 2:00 am after a long night of drinkin!

Atmosphere: It’s a ²⁴⁄₇ taco joint so I don’t expect much finesse. There are no homeless people inside and no bugs or rats. It is reasonably lit inside and warm (for the cold drunchie nights).
Service: I had a nice woman take my order and was very nice allowing specific tacos to have no onions, some with only cilantro, etc.
Food: Ive had san diego’s tacos and burritos AND tacos and burritos from LA’s food trucks. And I have to say that this place does not even come CLOSE to what LA and SD have to offer. The quality of the ingredients just are not even remotely fresh and the all the types of meat tasted like it’s been out for hours or even days. Sure it can pass for drunchies, but even if I was drunk I think I would prefer to pay the Über a few extra dollars to go somewhere else. You have been warned!

I went in on a Thursday night. Just one other person in the building.
Last time I went to a Anda restaurant I wasn’t too impressed.
I got my wife a quesadilla de asada, got myself a nachos de asada, and 2 chicken, 2 asada tacos.
I can only speak to the nachos.
The beans looked pretty dry. They skimp out a bit on the cheese in my opinion. The asada seemed to be sitting out.
However the nachos weren’t awful, the chips were also a little dry.
I spent 22 dollars on everything. It seemed a bit much for what I got. But they are a little more expensive.
Idk how packed this place gets because I haven’t seen it on Friday and Saturday night, which get crazy for Mexican taquerias.
The one on Bristol and the other Santa Ana location get fuckn crazy on those nights with security standing at the door.
So so. Try it maybe I’m wrong, but I don’t think so.

Waste of my money to be honest, the nachos I just got were straight lame ! Had no flavor and just basic, no love in the sad excuse of nachos I got. Chips were soggy with no crunch, big scoop of sad beans on top of some meat that was already chliin for who knows how long, with some cheese that wasn’t even melted :(. don’t get me started on the salsa, more like salty green soup or red salty soup :(idk why I’m still eating this…

Menu you is very simple and straight to the point just like the establishment. I usually get the nachos which you can easily share.
The tacos are pretty good.
The offer Menudo on the weekend but I have had a chance to try it out.

Tacos here taste good but there not the best and 1.49 for a tiny taco? It’s to expensive for me the tacos not worth 1.49 there just too small and if you use your debit card they charge you a .50 fee I think businesses should eat the fee of using your debit/​credit card.

Only one star cause i went in the other night to try taqueria de anda i ask for a burrito and the guy. Who charge costumers hand my tortilla with his dirty hands to the guy making it.
I think you should get tour employees a serv safe certificate please, make sure to keep an eye on that guy who don’t like washing his hands after charging a costumer.

Great food, great price! Love this place and service is always fast.

Service is not too slow, tacos are great, and parking is easy. I came on Taco Tuesday and street tacos were 99 cents each. SCORE!
Al pastor tacos are the best here at Taqueria De Anda!

They still are my favorite tacos, for already 7 years and counting.
If only I could get the «taco-​guy» serving last Sunday at noon «to-​go together with the tacos»… One of the best smiles I have met so far.

One of my favorite foods ever are tacos and these I didn’t care for. I tried the carne asada and al pastor and they were too blah. No taste. I don’t think I would come back here again.

I am a HUGE fan of those small Mexican street tacos, I would eat them every single day if it was healthy. The place is pretty dumpy and dirty but I ignored it hoping the tacos would make up for that.
I see there’s a lot of good reviews for this place so maybe I just happen to go on a bad night? I don’t know… But I had the worst steak tacos ever today at this place. The meat was beyond dry and tasted like cardboard. I will not be going back here and don’t recommended it.

Too good! No taco Tuesday specials but I love the carne asada burrito con todo! Extra limes and salsa

I would say that I used to be a bigger fan of Taqueria de Anda and I guess this one since it is so close to work, but after further thought I find them to be just ok.
Their menu is kind of limited. You have a choice of about 4 or so decent meats. I would say the standout for me is the Carne Asada with their Al Pastor falling close behind.
They offer Soft Tacos, Burritos, and Quesadillas. On the weekends they offer a couple different soups. I haven’t had either one so I cannot really comment on them. The other items aren’t bad though. Not awesome, but not bad. On the Burritos you can either get regular with beans and rice or all meat for a little bit more. Their burritos are pretty huge.
Service is pretty good. I’ve gathered it would be even better if I had a better ability to speak Spanish. I say that simply because communication would prove more affective.
There’s not much in the décor department. It’s pretty straight forward and simplistic here with all regular indoor tables.
I guess the strangest thing is here is that they use the same font and menu as other TDAs, but this location is not on their website. It’s quite confusing.
They do offer fountain drinks here if you like.
They accept card here, but they will not mention that there is a $ 0.50 Cent Transaction Fee. You have to be like me and notice it on your receipt!
Parking proves rather easy here.

This place is awesome… I finally tried the al pastor after hearing from many family members how good it was… I had to correct them n tell them that it wasn’t good yet AMAZING!!! Its the stuff dreams are made of. Prob one of the best burritos I’ve had… so far in 2012!!! Taqueria de Anda been in my family since ever and I’ll continue to keep coming… no matter what location your at you’ll usually find good service with great food ^_^

It’s great to go on a late night after a club, but it is in a emptier part of town. I suggest taking someone with you while you go here especially at night.
Other than that the food, is not the best tacos i’ve ever tasted, but for a little over a buck, whose complaining. I got the lengua (i think that’s how you spell it) carne asada, and Al Pastor — all were pretty good.
For late night grub, it’s great, but there are much more better places to go.

This a small taqueria compared to the others ive been to. The burritos are pretty huge. The last time i went the guy hooked it up with a lot of meat.
The lengua here isnt as good as taco boy, but the burrito here are awesome.

So dope. Their chicken tacos can do no wrong. Traditional street taco size so you can mix it up and get a few of the al pastor tacos as well.
Feel free to ignore the bland rice and beans.

I consider Taqueria De Anda to be the standard for southern california taquerias. As previous reviews have mentioned, neither the location, nor the meals are very fancy, but in my opinion they should not be.
This particular location is not quite as good as Fullerton, but it is better than Magnolia in Anaheim.
The Carnitas burrito is an all-​time favorite.

The bf and I tried this place as a result of one of those late night grub hunts. Since the reviews from the other locations seemed so great I figured the consistency would make this place good as well.
I can’t speak for the other locations but this location was definitely LACKING.
We tried the carnitas, carne asada, chicken, & al pastor tacos. ALL OF THE MEATS WERE VERY DRY except for the al pastor which was just OK.
With all of the other BETTER taqueria’s in my area, I definitely will never come back.
