    This is a very small taco joint in the BP Yorkmount plaza. Order at the counter, small area to sit and eat. The place is packed at lunch time and I know why, the food is AMAZING!!! I ordered tacos al pastor with guacamole and a side of hot sauce. Yes they have hot sauces on the tables but the homemade is always the way to go!! Very close to CLT airport, I will definitely be back!

    I love this place! It's not fancy, but the food is amazing. It would be great if they opened a full service (dinner) location serving the same menu.

    A hidden gem south of the airport. I go at least once a week. Even with the line out the door, it moves fast and they process your order fast. Everyone is very friendly and the food is great and you get a lot for the price. I haven't had anything I didn't enjoy.

    Lunch at Anita's Mexican Grill. If you haven't been here, you're missing out. They are only open 11am until 2:30 pm so it's definately just a lunch place. The quantity of meat they give you in these tacos is unreal, especially for the price ! I got the carne asada taco on a corn tortilla ($4). The meat was a bit overcooked, but had a ton of flavor. Plus just LOOK at how much meat they give you ! I couldn't fold the taco, it was that much meat !!! I ended up eating all the meat I could inside the taco and then using a fork to eat the rest that would not fit inside. I got a chili relleno special ($9.50) which came with either a hardshell or flour tortilla with either shredded chicken or ground beef with rice on the side. I got the shredded chicken. It was nice and juicy and had nice flavor. Just look at how stuffed it is ! These came with chips and salsa too. Hubby got one beef hard shelled taco and one chicken soft shelled taco. This came with chips and salsa. They have fountain drinks with free refills. The seating area is small. However, they have both high chairs and low chairs (See photo). We came at 1:10pm and lunch was starting to die down, so we were able to get a table. However, I had read online that starting at Noon the line is out the door and seating is scarce. Highly recommend for getting alot of good food for the money spent. Orders are taken at the counter then they call your name. The only thing I did not like were that the people behind the counter were wearing a mask. If someone on their staff is sick, they should not be serving food. The masks also prevent genuine interaction with the customer. FYI..Everything is given to you "to go" whether you plan to eat there or not.

    I came in here for lunch today. The service was very quick and the food was reasonably priced - the portions are large! I ordered two tacos - carnitas and Al pastor - and a side of beans. The carnitas taco was my favorite. It's nice to find a good spot not far from the airport, this is truly a hidden gem!

    I come and stay here for the tacos! My absolute favorite is their carne asada. I typically order one then split the filling in half. Their portions are large! You absolutely get your $4 worth and then some! As for sides, I'm slowly working my way through the menu- but I love their rice. Service is always SPECTACULAR! They call your name loud and clear during the lunch rushes. Or if they aren't busy, they just bring everything to you. Heads up, everything is all packaged to go- bag and everything! First timers- don't expect a plate.

    A hidden but must find treasure. I was introduced to Anita's by a coworker. His rule of thumb is to get here before 12 or else the line is out the door and he was right. We promptly arrived at 1145 to one person in line by the time we walked out at 12 there were 6 people and the line was growing out the door! The menu is long but extensive. If you're not sure what is in an item just ask. They will customize if possible. Their cafeteria serving style makes lunchtime possible as you are in and out in 10 minutes. I had their super nachos which either comes with beef or chicken. I opted for both and they did not disappoint. I will definitely be back.
