What Herta Dietrich doesn't like about Anita's Mexican Cantina:
We tried this place last night since we figured they have been in business for almost 50 years. Horrible service ever. The food was almost as bad and expensive for Mexican food. the so called, juicy steak was over cooked. the carnitas was so dry, even 2 limes couldn't help. lots of lettuce on the plate making the portion of the actual meal, small. Absolutely a waste of time and money. View all feedback. What Gina Walsh likes about Anita's Mexican Cantina:
We have been regulars at this lunch spot for years. The food is top-notch and the staff is always welcoming. It's the only place where the enchilada sauce lives up to our expectations. The restaurant recently relocated to a new location, which is fantastic and even includes a full bar. A great bonus! View all feedback.

Ordered the carnitas and it was NOT good. The meat was dry and hard. No flavor. So disappointed. My family ordered other things and thought they were decent.
