Anita Street Market

We stop by this place on a recommendation from a friend. Very cute market in the middle of a residential neighborhood. They are quite a few people there waiting around for to go orders which to me is a great sign that the food will be good. The service we got was very friendly and a positive experience. I ordered the big breakfast burrito which I thought was just a little bit pricey, but it did taste good. I just wish they used a little bit more seasoning. My wife ordered the carne asada and although the texture and the burrito were good, the meat was very salty. I enjoyed my order more than she enjoyed hers. I think it's one of those types of restaurants where you have to know what their specialties are, and then order that. It was our first time in. I will definitely give these guys a second try because I love the small businesses like this like I said before the place was really cute, it was very clean great service. A portions were huge so if you're looking for food that you can actually break up into two meals this is the spot for you. The garden seating area outside and so unique. Go ahead support small businesses and give these guys a try.

Came by during open hours confirmed by phone last week, and business was closed. (When I called to confirm open hours, they were apparently already closed because they had run out of tortillas.). Called when at the Market, and no answer. No posted sign about open hours. It would be helpful if the business posted something about open hours, closing during listed hours, left a voice-mail, etc. I have heard great things, but can only give 1-star for the reasons I mention here.

So the food here is very fresh and very tasty but the wait takes FOREVER. We waiting at least 30-40 minutes for a simple order. To be fair, they do have signs posted saying food is made to order and wait times may increase and I believe they are short handed in the kitchen. The cashier is very nice and welcoming but I think she is the only one that worked up front. The mom and I think other family were up front just sitting and not doing anything. When I went up front to ask for a fork the mom looked at me and just looked away and kept talking... thanks... I'd say it's worth going ifnyou dont mind waiting a good while. Also, call your order in to save the wait.

Great chorizo burrito, it had no potatoes, I was told this after 20 minutes of waiting... Slightly disappointed after arriving, drove from San Diego just to try their legendary machaca burrito and they didn't have it at 9:45 in the morning. Customer service from the front lady wasn't all that either. Oh well, on to the next stop. I am upgrading to 3 stars for the chorizo that I purchased here to cook at home.

Anita St. Market: Grace Soto and her husband founded this family owned market in Tucson, AZ 37 years ago. The market is known for their specialty, handmade flour tortillas. Sadly, Grace passed away in December from COVID-19 and a small memorial currently stands outside the building. Currently customers are not allowed to enter and must place their orders outside. While waiting, customers can take in the gorgeous and colorful mural that decorates the side of the building. The market opens early, so I opted to try a breakfast burrito made with their famous flour tortillas. My burrito was comprised of scrambled eggs, potatoes, cheese, and ham. All of the ingredients tasted just fine, but being the cheesehead that I am I should have ordered extra cheese (I felt it could have used just a bit more). The real star of the show though was the handmade tortilla. It was the freshest and best tasting flour tortilla I’ve ever had. I’m having difficulty finding the words to describe the texture and flavor, but trust me, it was superb. I’m curious how their lunchtime burritos taste, but the breakfast burrito is Doughboy approved. Doughboy_Food_Reviews
