Review Anita's Mexican Grill - Charlotte

This place is so affordable, you can't go wrong trying many of the different items on the big menu. My only complaint is the menu board doesn't describe some things like the "lazy" vs. the "crazy" burrito, but the cashier was enthusiastic about describing them, even during a busy lunch rush. (Sorry, can't remember the details, because I didn't end up getting either, but like I said, with prices $3-9, I may try them another time!) The food was fast and good. Seems like a criteria for hire is having a smooth "announcer voice" to call names as the orders are ready. The tacos are pretty meaty, and the eggs in huevos con chorizo help cut the saltiness of the chorizo sausage.

Seriously the best Mexican food I’ve ever had. The portions are huge, I get full off two tacos bc they’re so packed with meat. My only complaint is I wish they had more accommodating hours. Don’t sleep on this place. Excellent service, excellent food.

100% recommend this place. It is hands down the best Mexican grill in Charlotte. The food was super delicious, prices were reasonable, and the service was wonderful. Adding this to my weekly lunch spot. My husband got the tacos and they were perfection. My enchilada was absolutely delightful and had tons of flavor. Can't wait to come again and try other items on the menu!!!

Small place but the food is great and the tacos are huge. Valentina hot sauce on the table already is a win for me. Chips and salsa were great as well. Will return!

I love Anita's, and I will shout it from on top of a mountain. Don't believe me... Take a chance. The only downside is that they don't stay open later like for dinner. The earlier you get there the better because the get PACKED QUICK!!!

I'll start off by reiterating the previous reviews. There will be a line at lunch time...a long one. They have some meats already premade in large quantities like the ground beef and chicken. Those 2 ingredients seem to be in a lot of the dishes they serve. If you want a different protein, it'll be about a 10 minute wait. I appreciated the lady taking my order letting me know just in case I was in a hurry. She was also very nice and answered all the menu questions I had. I also can second the previous comments of the portions being huge. They are ridiculously huge. I was actually leaning towards the crazy burrito until I saw how big it was. I ended up ordering a 3 taco plate and mixed the meats. I got 2 carnitas and one Al pastor. The carnitas were among some of the best I've ever had and I've had a lot of tacos all over the Americas. Each taco had about twice the meat of any other taco I've ever ordered so the price was justified by the portions. It also came wrapped in 2 corn tortillas. You could easily split each taco into 2 tacos if you wanted to. The tomatillo sauce that came with the tacos was also some of the best I've ever had. They only give you one so I'd recommend asking for extra. I ended going back and asking for extra. Unfortunately the Al pastor was dry... really really dry. I've come to a conclusion after eating this taco that I'm no longer going to order Al pastor tacos unless they're coming off a trompa. Everytime I do...I'm disappointed. A little taco shop in acapulco has ruined Al pastor for me because nothing comes close. Normally I'd dock a star but they have an extensive menu and I'd hate to deduct a star for one item when they did everything else so we'll. JUST STAY AWAY FROM THE AL PASTOR. The tacos also come with chips and salsa. I was so full that I didn't even crack the bag open. I'll say I was the only person in the place that didn't eat theirs so that should tell you something. I'll definitely be back and maybe I'll muster the courage to try the crazy burrito.

I go to Anita's all the time for lunch. The food is top tier and everyone is so nice. I wish they took phone calls for to-go orders...that's my only small complaint. Definitely need to give them a try!!

Cheese is so yummy and makes me forget im lactose intolerant!

Very good food with great prices. The staff are very nice and quick with getting orders out!

Not sure the name of soup .. but OMGoodness. Delicious. I have to blend everything for awhile due to mouth surgery.. but it sure is the best ! Even gave my 92 year old dad ( he’s picky and loved it ! ) I’ll definitely recommend to anyone that has to blend ! I’ll try to add pictures !

I just want to start off by saying that the employees were phenomenal. I'm not sure about the other protein options, but the shedded chicken was very bland, and a bit tough to chew. I probably should have gotten the grilled chicken. The staff being kind and friendly was very refreshing.

Great mexican food at affordable price. Very fast service . Small place for sit down. Large lines during lunch. Chips and salsa included with food

Some of the best Mexican food I've had in a while. The huevos con chorizo was so tasty. Portions were huge and the people were nice. We beat the lunch crowd but it got packed after we started eating. If I'm back in the area, will definitely eat here again.

Delicious food at a reasonable price. Best Mexican food I ever had, keep coming for more every week with my co workers. Friendly staff. This place can get crowded at lunch time but they are quick to get your food ready. (Picture is Special Nachos: nachos, ground beef, guacamole, tomatoes, sour cream, queso)

The best lunch place in all of Charlotte to get quick and delicious Mexican. Go check it out if you haven’t! Very affordable and amazing service.

Counter service Mexican food with some dine in seating. Friendly service, great food and a great value!

Great food, a little pricey but what isn't these days joe? Polite workers as well

Went there early. Glad I did, there was a line forming as I left. The cashier took time to explain everything and took changes to order without any problems. Got my food fast. It is delicious 😋. Found my new favorite place for lunch
