Annas Taqueria

Anna’s Taqueria Its raining in Boston today, but MIT students are smiling anyway, because today is the grand opening of Annas Taqueria on campus! Annas Taqueria is perhaps the best know Boston restaurant of the variety cheap AND yummy. Annas serves Mexican food, primarily burritos, tacos and quesadillas. It today opened its fourth restaurant in Boston, in the MIT Student Center. When surveyed, students overwhelming requested that Annas be lured to campus, and thats exactly what happened. Last night, before the official opening, Annas decided to throw open its doors and give out their food for free to MITs students. I wasnt there, but Im told that the placed was, predictably, packed. We in the Admissions Office have been awaiting the opening of the MIT Annas just as eagerly as the students. Today we decided to go have lunch there. When we arrived, the line was literally out the door. One of the best things about Annas is that theyre speedy; its faster, and much yummier and healthier, than fast food burger joints. Here they are making my carnitas super burrito. Mmmm. Not pictured: my horchata to drink. The other thing we love about Annas is that its cheap, definitely on a student budget.
