Anna's Taqueria Closes After 25 Years In Coolidge Corner

BROOKLINE, MA — The original Anna’s Taqueria in Coolidge Corner is closed.

"While this was an incredibly difficult decision to come to, it is one we’ve been thinking about for a long time now," said Anna’s Taqueria Owner, Betsy Kamio. "The Brookline community has embraced Anna’s for 25 years, and while we know this location’s closure will come as a disappointment to some, we are grateful to have our Harvard Street store just seven blocks away.”

While the global pandemic certainly didn't help, this closure is not the result of the pandemic, according to Kamio.

Anna’s Taqueria’s lease at 1412 Beacon Street is set to expire in the coming months, and the rise of food delivery apps has allowed the restaurant to consolidate service to its other seven locations throughout Greater Boston, including one in the JFK Crossing neighborhood.
