Anna’s Taqueria – the homegrown Boston brand that has been delivering warm bundles of burritos, tacos and quesadillas as well as heaping Mexican bowls and salads since 1995 – will open its first location in Rhode Island on February 24 at the Garden City Center in Cranston.

Inspired by San Francisco’s Mission District, Anna’s Taqueria was first conceived with the goal of bringing the homestyle flavor of Mexican street food to the people while celebrating community. With its entry into the Ocean State, Anna’s is continuing its exciting expansion in southern New England having opened four new locations in the past year.

Debuting within the area’s premier open-air lifestyle plaza that features the best local flavors, Anna’s Taqueria’s newest outpost features a bright and welcoming nearly-3,000 square foot dining space complete with high-top communal tables, booths and traditional table seating options for 42 guests. Anna’s Taqueria carefully prepares every order using the finest and freshest ingredients including a lineup of signature proteins like birria, carnitas, al pastor, and more. Additionally, Anna’s Taqueria at Garden City Center will serve Anna’s new protein bowls that pack up to 98 grams of protein per order.

On its opening day, in honor of rolling burritos since 1995, Anna Taqueria will dial back the hands of time and offer its legendary super burritos – 12″ fresh hot flour tortillas customized to your taste and packed with a main filling, cheese, rice, beans, lettuce, pico, hot sauce and jalapeños – at its original 1995 pricing, $3.50* per oversized bundle of love. Rounding out the festivities will be a prize wheel, swag, and availability of limited-edition Anna’s Cranston t-shirts.

“The Anna’s brand has so much love to share, and we couldn’t be happier to be bringing that to Rhode Island,” said Rob Favuzza, president of Anna’s Taqueria. “With Garden City Center’s mission of bringing community together, it is the perfect home for us.”

Added Joe Koechel, general manager of Garden City Center: “We are thrilled to celebrate Anna’s Taqueria’s opening day at Garden City Center. What better way to commemorate the first Rhode Island location than with delicious burritos and fun festivities sure to delight our community!”
