We came back for breakfast. It was very good. My wife had menudo and a barbacoa taco. She's very picky about both and was extremely pleased. And they offer both options every day/all day, which is great. She'll come back with her sister to enjoy it again. I had two breakfast tacos: one with egg, sausage and cheese and the other with migas. I really loved the migas. While the first taco was unremarkable, the migas was great. It was perfect, in fact. And it really celebrates their home made corn and flour tortillas. The only thing I didn't like was the salsa. It tasted like canned tomatoes and it was a wee bit salty and not very spicy. I really liked the migas, though. It was made with fresh jalapeño and had just the right amount of heat without needing any salsa. So I think this is one of those places that does some things very well... enough to build up a solid base of regulars, even though some of their other offerings were disappointing, like improperly reheated enchiladas. But if you know what to order, you can really enjoy this place. Oddly enough, they have chorizo on the menu, but don't list it among the available proteins on the breakfast taco menu, which I personally find very strange. Chorizo and egg is such an iconic breakfast taco offering. I'll bet they'd do it justice. read more

I went here for the Puffy tacos, and they were San Antonio style...which is perfect. The place is somewhat difficult to see, so plug it into your GPS. Parking was street, which was on when we went, but on weekends looks like it would be a challenge. Service was good The restaurant seemed clean. read more

Had a wonderful breakfast this morning! Service was as expected with a packed house so no complaints. We ordered... barbacoa taco, bean and cheese taco, country platter, victors special, menudo, and migas tacos. Everything was fresh and homemade. The lemonade was fresh squeezed limonada and the corn and flour tortillas were also homemade. They said the menudo is served daily! So excited to find a great Mexican restaurant in Bastrop! read more

We went here after searching Yelp for "Puffy Tacos". Anita's didn't disappoint! The puffy tacos were large and filled with lots of meat. Service was on par. When we sat down, we placed our drink order and then the food order. Parking was an issue, but eventually we got lucky. Did I say that the puffy tacos were delicious! :-) read more

Had the enchilada and puffy taco dinner (exchanged regular taco for puffy)! Beans and rice were great. Chips and queso my favorite kind- yellow and thin chips. Large margaritas were tasty and not too sweet or sour. Plenty of tequila! We had 4 kids and they were great with them and had kid menus with Tex Mex and traditional kid grill cheese. Everyone loved it! Nice find while we were visiting for another restaurant that had a 1.5 hr wait. This was fast and good! read more

The service and food at Anita's is great. I've been going there for years and it has always been the best downtown Mexican Restaurant.

A couple years ago, a friend introduced me to Anita's. Since then, I have really grown to love this restaurant. The staff is always so friendly and helpful, they have great service. I usually go for brunch, they serve breakfast all day, which is so awesome! My favorite dish is migas! Comes with a couple tortillas. The beans are NOT vegetarian, so if that is applicable to you, pass on the beans. The chips & salsa are good, the salsa is SPICY. Coffee is good for diner coffee. I'm glad it's not dark roast & glad it's not real watered down. It's pretty good. Tons of seating too, they have booths and tables available, good spot for big parties as they can put tables together. read more

Love love love this place. I tell everyone to go there. They have the best enchiladas. The sweet tea is pure perfection. The waitresses are friendly and it's just an inviting atmosphere. read more

Good chicken enchiladas! Casual dining and seating. Just off the downtown square in Bastrop!

I really like this place down on Bastrop Main Street. We ended up eating there when the place down the street was just too crowded, and we were very glad we did! I had the enchilada plate and it was really good. The bartender even made me a specialty piña colada since I cannot have citrus, and it was excellent. It was really decorated for the holidays and had a nice homey feel. We will definitely be going back to Anita's! read more

Super friendly servers- old style , exposed brick walls which is cool. I ordered the cheese enchilada plate - had to send it back as the cheese was not melted inside the actual enchilada. Other than that, my husband said his green chili enchilada could have been warmer but he can never wait so he was completely done by the time I got my food back.lol read more

I would say, if you want lunch and dinner.. Anitas is pretty good.... But if you are looking for a good breakfast place.... Keep looking.... Tacos were huge but lack favor and the flour tortillas were undercooked. But some of the best flautas I have ever had! Which is why is it so shocking the breakfast was so.... Not good! Not to mention the service in the morning.... Pretty sad.... Ignored for 15 minutes at the takeout table.... Until I asked if I could get some help. read more

Salsa and chips were really good. Cheese enchiladas and guacamole were great. Would definitely visit again!

I had high hopes for Anita's, but they were dashed pretty quickly. The hostess & server were great. We had a nice table, waters & chips all around & ordered within about 5 minutes of being seated. Then we waited. And waited. And waited some more. 35 min after ordering, our food finally arrived. It wasn't overly crowded, and we all had easy things. Tacos, taco salad & a lite enchilada plate. One person's food was barely warm (not good with Queso), and my pastor meat had a big glob of fat in it. When it was time to pay & leave, I paid cash for my order, then noticed there was a "Non-cash transaction fee" added. It was not removed with my cash payment. This just isn't right. read more

Drove from austin to meet family from college station. Yelp didn't give them any updates. This place is really good. Great margaritas. And our waitress Margarita was awesome as well. Fajitas were tender. Soft tacos were delicious. Could have been a little cooler in the restaurant but had a great experience otherwise. We will be back read more

My friends and I were here on December 10, 2024 about 2:30 PM. It was the first time for all of us here. Evelyn was our server and she was excellent. She took very good care of us. She had suggestions and she was attentive, but not overly so. We had a light plate of enchilada an excellent cheeseburger fix just the way my friend wanted it and chili Riano plate. It was all quite delicious. I tried the coffee and it was delicious. It was decaf and it was a fresh pot. About the only negative would be that it was so dark at the table I had to drag out a flashlight to see the menu. There weren't a lot of people in there at that time, but it was a Tuesday and after the lunch rush. We would be willing to try it again, but we are talking about taking a lantern with us. read more

The Migas were absolutely on point. Sooooo delicious!! The homemade tortillas were to die for!! Huge portions and very reasonable pricing. Absolutely recommend Anita's authentic Mexican!! read more

The parking was difficult and the place was freezing to me. There is advertisements everywhere... the staff is super friendly and welcoming. The barbacoa was good but overall the food did not have much flavor. The rice was bland and the beans were bland - the pico de gallo was fresh - the salsa didn't taste home made but it was affordable. read more

I hadn't been here in several years but I was super impressed with our experience. The food was outstanding. The puffy tacos will be the thing that brings me back- so good! The queso was also great, just a bit pricey for a not very big bowl. I loved the food and our service was good. Right on Main Street, parking can be tricky to come by but if you snag a spot, be sure to give Anita's a try! read more

great food and service! Margaritas are also nice and fresh! Menudo is spectacular and oh the puffy tacos are amazing !

Best tortillas and breakfast tacos in town! They do tend to charge for every additional thing so it can add up to be pricey if you're not careful. Great location right downtown on Main St.! read more

Customer service was at finest, Yanneli's attentiveness of service was outstanding. The food was delicious, the rice was perfect NOT dry super moist with flavor. The house salsa is perfect too, exact amount of spices and flavor. The ambiance was good, clean, good music, and good vibe. I will come back if I am in the neighborhood, I was in Bastrop for a funeral, maybe next time it will be a little different reason to visit this beautiful downtown. One last thing, be ready to spend at least $20 per person with no drink, there is a fee to pay with card, plus other tax fees, but is totally worth it. read more

Stopped here on the way back from Austin home to Houston Everything was so good The Carne Gestada was out of this world gravy was 100 on point If I lived closed would have ordered more to go I will be back read more

I've eaten at Anita's at least once a week for years! The food is always great (the best in Bastrop as far as I'm concerned), the best salsa, the best enchiladas with the the best chili gravy on it! The service is great along with a great atmosphere! See you next week Anita's! read more

I usually go eat there every Sunday after church, at one point I was eating there 2x's a week. I will say that customer service has gone down dramatically in the last couple months since new people have joined the restaurant, I was appalled when this Sunday I couldn't get the crew to gather two tables for my party not because there was no tables available but because they didn't want to. It wasn't, busy plenty of tables were available practically all tables were available. I will not be going back read more

This place was great. We had the huevos rancheros, huevos a la mexicana, and sopa de res. Everything was authentic and delicious.

Anita's is good Mexican basic food. Nothing fancy. Service was slow but nice waitresses. Child friendly. Good prices for what you get. Fajitas comes out on a regular white plate, not a sizzling iron skillet like all other Mexican restaurants so that is why they rated a 2 or a 2.5. A large Guac came out in a small white bowl a partially mashed up avocado with maybe little seasoning Seasoning is VERY mild across the board. read more

No chips and salsa before 11:30, unless you want to pay $1.99. But they did give us 3 tortillas with the meal. Tortillas appeared to be homemade, very good. Taco salad with fajita was fair. Enchilada Verde had excellent flavor. Got a couple tacos on the side and flavors were excellent. Service was okay, but never asked to refill my water when it ran out. My wife shared her water. It was a 4 star review but now since it's past 11:30 everyone is getting chips and salsa. I feel a little burned. 3 stars is plenty since we did order off of the lunch menu and were not given chips and salsa. read more

After 3 visits I won't be coming back. The bar drinks a horrible, food mediocre at best, and their always seems to be some trickery with the bill. Oh and I have to mention that when I asked what kind of Tameles were being served he said "The ones from the grocery store"! read more

The food is always good! The tortillas are just like I remember as a kid many years ago!!

Atmosphere and Cleanliness : Very clean and fresh looking inside and out...this is in the heart of Bastrop...great little town to visit... Service: Fast and friendly and well staffed... Food: Chips and salsa were tasty...like the thin chips....Queso was Good, but needed a bit more spice for our pallet...Wife had enchiladas one chicken...one beef...wife did ask for no beans....and it came with beans...not a big deal...rice was really good...I had the combo platter...One cheese enchilada, crispy taco, guac salad (scoop of guac on lettuce), extra SMALL queso and a carne guisada taco (BEST carne I have had yet)...and NO rice and beans...for $12 bucks...it would have been $3 extra for beans and rice...OK...The wife and I both agree this place is Top notch...great flavor on everything...but for the price, the portions were small.... Worth the Adventure: Sorry, just cant get over the price for everything...$32 with out tip for lunch is steep...Only gets 2 stars based on value alone.... read more

Anita's is not what it used to be. Both the food and service have gone downhill drastically post COVID. The margaritas tasted like they were made from Gator Ade powder, the queso and salsa were okay but reminded me of something I'd buy off the lower shelf at the grocery store. The service used to be great but today was the first time I almost walked out of anywhere due to poor service. I hate to be that negative but it really sums it up. Hopefully, they will be great again but it's a long way to get back read more

Always good food and great service! Awesome atmosphere great drinks. Especially Anita's Punch!!!

Best chorizo and egg taco in Austin/Bastrop. Great flour tortilla. Highly recommend this with green sauce.

Let me start by saying I hate giving bad reviews. I've just moved to the area and I had high hopes for this restaurant as I love Mexican food. The space itself is beautiful. They were doing a great job keeping things clean and safe in these strange times, and my waitress was fine. But starting with the salsa I knew that I was in trouble. Watery tomato sauce with zero spice and not much to even stick to a chip. This was not an inspired salsa. The chips as well we're just kind of industrial and cheap. I ordered the steak à la Mexicana which once it arrived looks promising. It was a lunch size portion with rice and beans that I thought would be tasty. But after a few bites I realize the only spice involved here was salt. By about a fourth of the way through my meal I was pretty much ready to stop eating. The tortillas that came out we're hot at first but quickly turned into hard cardboard. The best part of the meal might've been my ice tea which was fresh and plentiful. After tip this lunch cost me $20. Hardly worth it. I'd go elsewhere read more

Yummy fresh corn and flour tortillas and friendly staff. Breakfast tacos are generous and delicious.

Went to breakfast twice this week! Migas both times. They are that good! My wife says they are the best she has ever had. Limonada is delicious too, we both love it. read more
