Visiting the heights and found a New Gem !! If you a Mexican cuisine foodie this is the spot. Ordered tacos de orejitas (pork ears) they were tasteful soft and just enough texture all that same time . Tortilla had a good taste were soft . Chicken tacos were also 100% . ordered frozen passion fruit margaritas. I enjoyed it could have had a little more alcohol but I left it as it was. I’m sure they would have added more if I would have asked . They tasted good. Waitress we’re ALL very attentive. Can’t wait to come back to continue savoring their wide variety of traditional and very original Mexican menu. They have cute decor representing the Mexican culture . They really brought their roots to this place . Totally enjoyed the experience. Overall Cleanliness 10/10 Service 10/10 Friendly 10/10

I recently had the pleasure of dining at Anita Cuisine, and the experience was exceptional. The food was absolutely delicious—particularly the steak, which was of outstanding quality and prepared with fresh ingredients. The service was equally impressive. Our server, (Yara) greeted me warmly and remained attentive throughout the meal. Her professionalism and positive energy created a welcoming atmosphere, and she ensured that I was well taken care of. Overall, it was a wonderful experience, and I appreciate the high standard of both the food and service.
