Date Visited: 5 May 2008Meal: Dinner
Diners: 3 - Me, Wendy, & Alicia
Experience: It's Cinco de Mayo, and we have to go to a Mexican restaurant!
We settled on Anita's, another one of the newer restaurants in Leesburg. It's the newest in a chain of eight locations. Anita's specializes in "New Mexico Style" Mexican food. They also do quite a bit of catering and take-out. Their take-out Breakfast Burritos are big sellers.
Since it was Cinco de Mayo, appetizers were 1/2 off. We ordered the Gringo Nachos, which were topped with chorizo, frijoles, chile con queso, tomatoes, chives, olives and sour cream - yum!
For the main entree, I had one of the specials, the Chicken and Steak Fajita Quesadilla. Wendy had one of the other specials, the "El Matador" - red chile cheese enchildas. Alicia made a daring move and ordered the Pollo Enchilada. It was all pretty good, but not our favorite kind of Mexican food. It's that New Mexico thing, I guess.
Service was a bit slow, but not unexpected because of the holiday. There was a little confusion with the bill, as they could not figure out how to take the 1/2 off the appetizer. So we ended up with two separate bills: one for the appetizer, which listed the discount as "Police Officer 50%"(!), and one for everything else.
Location: 5 Fort Evans Rd. NE, Leesburg, VA, 20176

Total bill: $44.66 + $9.00 tip = $53.66

We missed you all last night. Good episode - all witnessing encounters.
Mmmmm... Anita's. I remember the #1 Anita's, in Vienna. Not the current facility in Vienna - that used to be a bank - but down Maple Avenue, near the Vienna Inn. (I'm sure you're familiar with that establishment - sometimes half the clientele consists of your co-workers.) It was housed in a former donut shop and TINY. I think Anita was fresh off the boat from Albuquerque then. My favorite is the Carne Adovada, pork marinated and then cooked in a spicy sauce so that it falls apart.
