New Summer Menu Additions at Anna’s Taqueria
It’s simply the best. Anna’s Taqueria has just introduced summertime specials featuring a seafood favorite: shrimp. Available now at all locations, the pair comes in two forms: guajillo shrimp taco with deliciously seasoned shrimp that is topped with housemade pineapple-mango-jalapeño salsa, cilantro and shredded lettuce on corn tortillas, and guajillo shrimp salad served over a bed of mixed greens with sweet peppers, the signature spicy-sweet salsa and avocado coated in a homemade cilantro dressing. Also making its seasonal return is Anna’s wildly popular Watermelon Agua Fresca made in-house daily with fresh-pressed watermelon, a pinch of sugar and seltzer making it the perfect thirst-quencher on a sizzling summer day. Order yours here!
