“Banditos Tacos and Tequila was definitely a pleasant surprise. Despite it being a busy Friday night and not having a reservation, there was no wait for great booth seating - and the music was great.The Hamburger Nachos were scrumptious and were definitely shareable — the portion size was huge!! I went with the Quesadilla Marina for my main course & devoured it!! The Old Bay seasoned shrimp and cilantro claw were THE perfect combo with the Chihuahua cheese ?Our server was super duper attentive and checked in often to make sure we had enough water and also weren’t waiting to order anything else.“

“Came during happy hour, and was pleasantly surprised at the prices and options they had. Loved the frozen lime margarita (a must), with the chicken quesadillas and the guacamole and salsa to share with the table. Loved the pupusas, and the best thing about this restaurant is that the food is always fresh and hot! We loved the tres leches and the churros and ice cream.“

“Had a great time tonight with my elderly mother. She asked me to take her for margaritas and calamari. It was Friday night at 6:30 and we got a table in less than ten minutes, unreal! Carmen welcomed us at the front desk and Oscar was our server. Nice young man, prompt service and very kind and attentive. Drinks and food were delicious as usual. One thing I noticed was that the cocktails seemed a lot more expensive than usual. I think my margarita was over $20?! Not what I remember but overall the experience was a good one for us and we'll be back again. Thanks, David Q“

“Stopped by for a mini brunch. The mimosas were amazing and great to get during brunch only $5 each. I decided to be sat on the patio since it was a 67 degrees out. My server was amazing, she provided a great amount of recommendations. I wasn’t super hungry, so I went with the shredded chicken taquitos with chips. It tasted so good, the flavor was super satisfying. The salsa for the chips also was tasty, perfect texture to it aswell haven’t good salsa like this in awhile. I highly recommend Urbano!“

“At Anita's New Mexico Style Mexican Food, I savored the pork green chili burrito, a visual and flavorful delight. This mouthwatering creation featured a generous filling of succulent pork carnitas bathed in a tantalizing green chili sauce, crowned with an additional layer of the spicy green chili for an extra kick of flavor. The burrito's harmonious blend of tender meat and vibrant chili sauce left a lasting impression, thoroughly satisfying my taste buds. Accompanying this culinary masterpiece was a side of guacamole, boasting a chunky texture and made with the freshest ingredients. The guacamole's creamy richness complemented the bold flavors of the burrito, enhancing the overall dining experience. My visit to Anita's was a gastronomic journey filled with authentic New Mexico-style cuisine and impeccable flavors. I wholeheartedly enjoyed every bite and would eagerly recommend Anita's for a taste of...“

“The manager was so helpful, kind, and thoughtful. I came in with four kids, we were in a rush, and going to be eating in the car. The staff was friendly, quick, and got everything in our order right. Without being asked, they put each kids meal in a larger bowl that fit the entrée and side, gave me extra napkins, and even marked the lids for easy distribution in the car. The bathrooms were clean for the kiddo potty stop, and we left with smiles on our faces. We all enjoyed our meals very much!“

“Had a delicious dinner at Chuy's tonight - the "Chuychanga" had great shredded chicken filling, and was crispy but not greasy at all. I picked the Red Chile sauce - a little kick but not too hot for me, and it came with sour cream too. The service was outstanding and the food came out very quickly after we had ordered. We shared some Churro bites for dessert that were crispy, chewy inside and so yummy with the caramel sauce for dipping. It was quiet on St. Patrick's Day but enough people not to feel empty.Parking: Several spots right by the door for Pickup, but also plenty of parking available right in front, in a big lot for a shopping center.“
