Anita’s Cafe

Good service great prices. The migas are the best especially ala Mexicana style. The enchiladas are great too especially the beef or cheese. You can’t go wrong here. Homemade tortillas. chips with some very good salsa

This is one of those places, that a local resident needs to tell you about or you will not find it. A buddy’s wife told me and my wife about this place and have been eating here at least once a week. From the moment you walk in, it reminded me of a Mexican café my grandparents would have brought me to as a kid. Also, you notice an employee making fresh tortillas! The breakfast tacos are delicious and you sure get a good size portion for the price. The eggs and chorizo tacos are my favorite. On the weekends, they are serve barbecoa and menudo. Only opened for breakfast and lunch until 3 PM so don’t plan on having dinner here! They recently were recognized by Texas Monthly magazine as best tacos in the Rio Grande Valley category, which confirms why I really enjoy eating here!

This is a fantastic little Mexican food restaurant, sort of a hole in the wall, but you can tell the owners put love into their business. The interior is spacious with two seperate rooms to eat in with large booths lining the walls and tables in the middle. I suggest getting there early before the lunch crowd on the weekdays, or after noon when things settle down.
I highly recommend the Richard’s Special which comes with fajitas (beef or chicken) in 2 tacos with grilled onions and sliced avocados on top. The tacos are huge, and you get rice and beans on the side along with a grilled chile. My mother swears by their carne guisada with homemade french fries, and my grandparents get their chalupas. I also have had their beef enchiladas and they are everything! All of the food is fresh, made to order, with a woman making homemade flour and corn tortillas in the corner of the restaurant. The iced tea is very sweet, which is not for everyone, and they will give you a large To-​Go glass for free.
Friendly service really makes Anita’s one of the best places for homemade Mexican food in Edinburg.

I loved it here. Right down the road from where I live and had never tried it. Inexpensive, affordable, piping hot food! Coffee is served on gigantic mugs. They also have a huge buffet for breakfast and lunch. Have not tried that, since I can’t eat that much. Local favorite for me now.
Very nice décor, friendly staff!

My new co-​workers took me here and they said it was an authentic Mexican place even for in the Valley. It was pretty good. I had tacos and Churro beans (baked beans with Mex spices and bacon). The water glasses were huge which I like because I drink a lot of water when I eat out. All the other gals had ‘Dan’s special’, and they called ahead so the food was ready shortly after we arrived. Oh, the Rooster décor is memorable.
