I moved to New York in 1994, and have not been able to eat at Anchos since. It has a most unique and fresh menu that you just can not get back east. I have been searching for fresh flour tortillas for 15 years to no avail. I miss it every day. Pepe , Dean, and Doug run a top notch organization. 5 stars.
