Anita's Cuisine

Anita's is a small 'mom and pop' and isn't the fanciest place in town; however, when it comes to delicious comfort food, could you have it any other way? I stopped during the week for lunch. Ordering was easy, service was friendly. I had the Hugo Special with pork tamales and two Al pastor tacos. Admittedly, I don't know a lot about Salvadoran food, but I can say that I really enjoyed my plate. Every bite was full of flavor. 100% we will be back!

What a lovely experience! I had seen this advertised on Facebook and finally got to experience it. The building is pink, tiny, and unassuming. The menu has a wide variety and prices are reasonable. The service and warmth of the folks working is exceptional. I met Anita, who explained that her food is old fashioned because she makes it from scratch. Ordered huevos rancheros and a cheese papusa. Everything was delicious! My friend got a breakfast burrito and it was tasty and hearty.

I grew up in the area and have seen this building many time but never stop in. A little hole in the wall, I think they are known for their tamales. The cashier said they have been in business for 8 years. Today I decided to stop in while out shopping for a used car next door. I ordered their Carnitas Tacos & Tamales platter to go. The food was good and seem to be authentic. I would come back and try this place again.

This place is a hidden gem! Family run place, Anita the owner and head chef is a sweet heart. She came out of the kitchen and made sure the food was great! (the food was great!!) I had the Papusas, tacos and tamales lunch combo. They were excellent, great flavor and tons of meat. Papusas were authentic and the Curtido was spot on. Very good value for the price. I would definitely recommend you stop by and try this place out. I will be back for sure.

Lived this place to the core!I travel a lot and always look for great asada tacos and breakfast burritos. I had an egg, bacon, potato, and cheese burrito and it was awesome. The hot sauce made the burrito perfect. I wish I was staying nearby one more night to eat another in the morning. If I ever come back into KS, I will be back here for another burrito. I 1000% recommend this place!

Best soft tacos that I've had in KC! Anna is the owner and cook, but her nickname was Anita, thus Anita's Cuisine! After tasting the delicious food, and enjoying the friendly and welcoming service, I let the woman running the register and serving me know that they were the best tacos that I've had in KC, and definitely the most full of quality food. We talked about how most places only fill tortillas half full, and with sub-par ingredients. She went back in to kitchen and told Anna, and even though it was closing time for them, she came out and talked with me for 10 minutes! She's very passionate about quality food, and truly puts her heart into every plate. This is a must try for anyone who loves tacos, tamales, taquitos, flautas, papusas, and more! Going back tomorrow for lunch with an old friend.

Awesome homemade everything Mexican and Salvadorian food. family ran and authentic ! I will be back for sure !

Service was amazing even with things being crazy at Thanksgiving! The rolls have become a traditional side at our table. Worth drive from Lenexa!!!

The food is freshly prepared and the farthest thing from typical food chains. The menu is fairly simple. Latino describes it best. Authentic, so if you are looking for the Americanized versions of Mexican food, this ain't it. The Salvadorean tamales are some of the best we have had and we have had them in many places and countries. People are there buying them by the dozens, literally. It is a true hole-in-the wall place in an old house or storefront. The family that runs it have hearts of gold, or maybe their hearts are marinated in achiote?! Delicious always. Be patient it is prepared to order and they can get slammed when the take out orders are flowing! Did I mention their salsa has won awards? so fresh and again so authentic--not made in New York City as the old commercial used to say. They have great holiday food bundles too. Buen Provecho!

I would definitely try this place out. I loved their tamales and pupusas. The service was amazing, the gentleman at the counter made you feel at home and was very friendly. The cook even turned to give us a smile. The seating area could use some help, but it is a small business with great food. I think it's great you can do to go orders and eat breakfast all day. Down side they aren't open late.
