Anna's Taqueria is a chain of Mexican restaurants in the Boston area. It has restaurants in Brookline, Cambridge, and Somerville, recently adding an establishment at MIT.
Anna's offers extremely fast service, inexpensive food and large portion sizes (the super burrito is 12 inches long, weighs over a pound and costs $3.75). As such, Anna's has become a cult favorite for many who eat there every day of the week, and many Anna's customers have developed their own series of rituals and mythology regarding the restuarant. Primary among these is the desire to achieve "Flawless Victory": the completion of a meal without spilling one piece of food.
A good deal of its business comes from high school and college students in the area, drawing customers from Boston's many universities as well as suburban high schools in Brookline, Newton and Lexington.
History
Anna's was founded by Michael Kamio, a japanese entrepreneur who previously founded another Boston area taqueria called Boca Grande with his sister Markio Kamio that was designed to replicate the exprience the siblings had in California-based Mexican restaurants. After five years, Michael left Boca Grande to found Anna's, allegedly due to some kind of sibling rivalry between him and Markio.
Competition
Anna's is among several Boston area taquerias such as Boca Grande and El Pelon Taqueria and also competes with national chains such as Qdoba Mexican Grill and Taco Bell.
