Skip the line, order ahead! -Now Available - Catering Orders! -Allow notifications for great specials and new App features! The basis for a great deal of our first menu was the flavorful sauces made from New Mexico where chilis were picked early in the season, and chopped, to form the base ingredient for the milder green chile sauce. Those that weren't harvested green could ripen fully until red. They were then harvested and bound into a rista, allowed to dry in the hot New Mexico sun, then later grounded into a powder that became the main ingredient in the spicier red chile sauce. From day one Anita has always insisted that the chilis used in our recipes come exclusively from the mother land, and those of you who have enjoyed them before certainly know why. Today we have eight restaurants, with more opening soon, serving thousands of happy patrons everyday. Our menu has expanded over the years to include a greater variety of traditional New Mexican dishes as well as some popular American favorites. All of our locations serve breakfast, lunch and dinner seven days a week and most open as early as 5:00 a.m. We've always placed a lot of emphasis on our entire menu being available for dine-in or carryout. For years Anita's has also been providing quality, affordable full service catering. We've established a tradition of on-time delivery and setup for thousands of clients. We provide top-notch service with the same focus on quality food and personal service you'll find in our restaurants. Whether you're planning a formal meal for hundreds or a casual meal for a few you can count on Anita's experienced staff to spice up your next event with our traditional New Mexican dishes and more.
