Judy at the George W. Bush Boyhood Home in Midland, Texas, suggested this restaurant. The food was the best Mexican cuisine we have ever eaten. Sopapillas to die for. The gentleman who seated us played the piano and suggested the plate we should order. He even comped our desserts. He said Laura Bush likes the enchilada.

Here the food is consistently good. It is always hot and taste great. Some places when they get busy they dont have the plates and food as hot as it should be for the best experience. We have asked for a special appetizer and they make it. We love jalapeño and onions grilled then plated with cheese melted..so delicious. We are not crazy about the queso, but everything else is superb. The service is good and food is fresh. My favorite are the Chili Rellanos. That isnt spelled correctly anyway its all good.

We ate dinner there and I have to say it wasnt too bad. Kind of a hole in the wall but the service was outstanding and the food was okay. Prices are reasonable. I would recommend going to this place. It was quite crowded when we went. I have been eating at Donas for many many years. The quality & the taste has always been good. I suggest trying their chilli rellenos with egg batter. Never had a bad entree here. Excellent service and reasonably priced. Not very far off I-20 if onebis passing through.

Dona Anita s is a place of great character that has drawn many generations of family s over the past 30 years. It is family owned and operated. They have won several first place awards for their food, where it has been consistently good over the past years. The atmosphere is business oriented during the day and family oriented at night. The clientele is respectable, including a past United States President and his family. The Owner Luz Reyes is there for your comfort making sure your visit is memorable. Their Chili Rellenos are top rated homemade and fresh. Overall the attention of the Owner (Luz) to the highest quality food and service is far above most restraints in Midland.

Has the best mexican food around. Only draw back is they are only open for lunch from 11:00 to 2:00 Monday thru Friday. If you would like them to fix something like roasted potatoes with your meal, they will do it. Their service is top notch. Only have beer and wine also, no hard liquor.
