Anna's Taqueria is a chain of fast-service Mexican-fusion restaurants in the Boston area.
Overview
Anna's is modeled after U.S. West Coast style Mexican cuisine, specifically the Mission-style or San Francisco burrito. Its menu offers only four core items: burritos, tacos, quesadillas and Mexican plates, and has been described as "the best burritos for next to nothing". The food is made using an assembly line-style process. The chain currently has six stores in operation, including two in Cambridge.
In April 2009, Anna's Taqueria was recipient of the Boston Phoenix's 'Best of Boston' Award for best fast food.
History
The first Anna's Taqueria was founded by Michael Kamio and located in Brookline's Coolidge Corner in 1995 after a disagreement with his sister Mariko Kamio, who owns the competing Boca Grande chain. Since then, a second Brookline restaurant was opened in addition to the locations in Porter and Davis Squares, and later the chain opened its fifth location at MIT's Stratton Student Center. A sixth location was then opened on Cambridge St. in Boston across from the Massachusetts General Hospital.
