These guys have a Five star Tequila menu! I have ever seen such a selection in Alberta or BC. I ordered Two types off the flight menu and thought I would be getting 1.5 ounce of each to try but what came out was 3 0.5oz sample of each in the blanco respado and anejo varieties. What an incredible way to experience the aging of certain brands of tequila. The place is busy, good atmosphere. Our service was excellent. The handmade guac and salsa at the table was great. The taco were quite good although not as flavorful as I hoped. Great night out, a bit on the pricey side but worth it once in a while. read more

Just a heads-up...I had booked a reservation 2 weeks prior to us attending last night. We arrived 12 min's late as we were coming from out of the city limits. They gave our table away after 10 min's without any notice to us about this policy when booking (oh they called our home number) or else we wouldve used our cell number. They did find us a spot after a bit of resistance. Please make people aware of this policy...our friends who own a couple restaurants/pubs that were there with us said this policy was unreal and they would never impose such a small time to hold a table. Be aware. read more

Awesome place, food perfect and they the best guacamole in the city. The margaritas are better then any I've ever had in Mexico.

I went to Anejo with my friend on April 23rd... I have been to Anejo quite a few times and have always had good experiences which is why I didn't give them one star. If this was my first time visiting I would never go back. I ordered the Coconut Chili margarita and it was so spicy that you couldn't even take a sip without guzzling water, I love spicy things and have a high tolerance for them. I assumed that someone accidently went a little heavy handed with the chili so I let me server know and asked if it was possible I could have it remade. He offered to have them mellow it out for me. He brought it back and it was pretty much all lime juice now.... No coconut flavour at all. So I decided to go back to one that I had had just before and on another night. I ordered a cucumber cilantro margarita and when it arrived I knew right away it was made with gin not Tequila..... Our server hadn't been to see us in a while so I let another server know and she said to me "they would never put gin in a margarita unless you requested it" .... So then a manager comes over and pulls out a stool and sits down and very patronizingly tells me he heard that I sent back 2 drinks now and made me plead my case for why. I explained to him that the Coconut Chili to which he said "they don't call it the chili margarita for nothing" True, I said, but I tolerate spice really well, and even if I was one of those people who didn't like spicy things and had ordered it by mistake that doesn't really scream great customer service. Then I told him how my cucumber cilantro margarita had gin in it. He said no it wouldn't but it's possible that there was some "gin residue" I was picking up on when they use the same shot glass. My friend asked him to sample my drink. He had a sip and said yes, it does have a gin taste, but stuck to guns that it wouldn't be gin in the drink. I then had to ask for them to just take the drink off my bill as I was cutting my losses. By this time we had been waiting a long time to just get a drink. More than that, the way that we were treated with such sarcasm and skepticism while apologetically explaining why the drinks weren't drinkable was such a horrible experience- it was embarrassing! Instead of believing their customer and having a quick word with the bartender they were extremely stubborn and downright rude... It's so strange to me that a Mexican restaurant would put gin in a margarita, and then stand behind that like there was no issue. I would think tequila and margaritas were their specialty. Such a bad experience, mistakes are TOTALLY forgivable. The condescending and rude "service" isn't. read more

Best tacos, guac and margaritas in the city! Such a great vibe! Always have so much fun here!

I threw up when I got home after eating at Anejo. Watch out for the fish tacos - mine was rancid. And in general the food was mediocre and overpriced. The strawberry margarita I had was tasty but TINY! Less than half the size of margs at better Mexican restaurants. If all you care about is ambience, attractive waitresses, and wide tequila selection this place might be for you. read more

Great atmosphere and excellent tequila selection.. if you are a beginner with tequila try the silver Asom Broso - really nice!

A loud, busy place that feels high-energy when you walk in. We had the tableside guac and while it was delicious, it was super salty. We ordered another for the table and it was better. The service was OK, but not stellar. The margaritas are a bit on the small side and they'll definitely try to upsell you on more drinks. It was OK, but I'm not sure we'll go back again soon, as it was so loud our party of 4 could hardly hear each other at the table. read more

Just really overpriced for what it is. Decent mexican food, though small portions.

Met girlfriends for lunch here. We all had two or three tacos, a margarita and shared the Amazing guacamole. Highly recommend starting with the guacamole. There is a patio that looks onto 4th. Def going back for more guacamole and tacos. Wish they had blended margaritas tho. read more

Atmosphere is good. Bartenders friendly. Good margaritas, favourite was the Coconut chili margarita was very good

Awesome food and better atmosphere - fantastic margarita selection as well.

An anejo "must try" is their chili coconut margaritas!!! Get them during happy hour for 1/2 price! So worth it!!!!

Absolutely disgusting! We were there for a bday party last night and I had to send back the chicken tacos. The shredded chicken was very suspect resembling tendon and or ligament. My wife had the chicken mole also horrendous. Stay away! read more

This is a great spot for a date the service was amazing! The servers were very helpful and made you very comfortable with their menu and about tasting their tequila flights. Our appetizers and drinks were amazing and we loved the atmosphere. The only let down was the main course not that is was horrible but is was just average compared to everything else. read more

first time ever going....my friend and i walked in on a wednesday for lunch, waited at the door for too long, had to end up waving someone over to help seat us. once seated had a server with poor menu knowledge take our order and answer our questions. once food had arrived, we were not impressed... we ordered: queso fundido- cheese and mushroom dip to be served with tortilla and pico de gallo. there was zero evidence of pico... and in my opinion lacked mushrooms overall. Six tacos (one of each)- all tacos had old onion and jalapeno on each, noticeably chopped a few days prior... not fresh at all. each taco also had 2oz too much of protein on each, and were not appropriately seasoned. i would rather receive less meat that tasted better on a taco, then what i had received... and at the end of our tacos we received pico de gallo..... for some stupid reason. the pico, like the jalapeños and onions, were also cut a few days prior, were gritty and mushy and lacked individual flavour and freshness. i wouldn't ever go back to this place unless they made some serious changes... or a whole restaurant and staff flip. Try native tongues at 235 12 Ave SW, Calgary, WAY better, Super knowledgeable, appropriate sizes and tastes fucking awesome. fucken deck. read more

Fun atmosphere that is well-decorated and decent service. Food lacks fresh flavour, in fact any flavour. (All heat, in some dishes.) Over-priced and mediocre food. Too bad. read more

I would say the best Mexican option in town! A great evening atmosphere with friends with quality pub style Mexican food. Prices are high for the location and rariety of Mexican establishments in Calgary. It's not Mexico, but can easily fool an untraveled Calgarian into an authentic Mexican food experience. read more

My wife & I just came to Calgary from Vancouver and wanted to go for Mexican food while my Mom was visiting. This place looked good on Yelp so we showed up. Unfortunately, they were so busy & booked up (it was a Friday night... fair enough) that we were told it was an hour wait. The super nice hostess, Jenny, called their sister restaurant to try to help us out, even though she was busy. We decided to wait instead & took 3 seats at the bar. Within 15 mins. Jenny came & said she'd found us a table. Awesome! The service was really informative & friendly (although, to be fair, our server was a bit hurried & harried) but no matter... the side guacamole chopped freshly at our table was a real highlight & delicious; the rest was tasty as well. We are, admittedly, spoiled for restaurants in Vancouver, but I would definitely go back to Anejo (although next time, I'd call ahead for a reservation! :) read more

Got Kicked out for being too big of a table? And paying our bill every hour? Last night I went to Anejo for a friend's 30th birthday. There were about 15 of us - some people left, some came. We were in a constant state of ordering food and drinks - we even paid out our bill every hour so to make sure the waitress was properly paid and tipped. Some of us even tipped over the 18% mandatory tip. No one was drunk, no one was rowdy, no one was rude to the waitress or other patrons. Then randomly we were asked to leave. We were told to pay our bill and get out as we were too big of a table and were not letting the other patrons have a good time. I was shocked. I have never been kicked out of anywhere in my life. We are a group of oil and gas professionals and some of our parents. We had a huge bill and ordered a lot of food and drink - and kicked out. When the one of us asked to speak to the owner we were told he was busy with another table and it would be bad service to come talk to us. What? Being kicked out for paying a huge bill? BAD SERVICE. read more

I went to Anejo restaurant on a Tuesday night with my girlfriends for a fun birthday night out- thinking it would be a great experience. It really was not. I unfortunately went here thinking there would be some options for vegetarians, but only to find a couple. The issue is, if you can't eat cilantro you are ultimately out of luck. I first ordered a margarita which was so sweet I could barely drink half of it. When it came time to finally order food and our server came back 45 min later I had let her know of my dietary restrictions. I had asked her if I could just order plain tortilla shell with rice inside, but without cilantro. She said she would ask the kitchen staff if they could do that for me. Unfortunately when she came back she said that all the rice they had was pre-made with cilantro. I asked if I could get some fresh rice made and she said they wouldn't do that. She then offered me a cheese quesadilla as a different option that the kitchen could make. I agreed as that sounded great- so I ordered a cheese quesadilla with sour cream and no cilantro. To my surprise when it came back there was two- FOUR inch tortilla's with a skiff of cheese in the middle and cut up into tiny pieces and garnished with cilantro....nice. I asked her if that was all it came with and she seemed angry with me that I didn't "express how hungry I was". She then went on to tell me as if I were a child that I can eat that and let her know if I was still hungry afterwards. I left feeling let down, hungry and with a bill that included a $8.00 four inch quesadilla that couldn't fill up a two year old. I will not be going back any time soon. read more

The epitome of the words poor service, quality of food and atmosphere. The staff were disengaged, took my order and did not bring 2/4 items ordered until I asked. The greeter at the front stood with her back to the guests looking at her iPhone and checking herself out. My order was scallops and prawns arrived. Cold, not seasoned and laying on a tired bed of shredded lettuce. The table sauces were Safeway quality, poorly explained and added blah flavor and the moisture needed to the very dry tacos. The soft taco was dry and cold. The guacamole was unseasoned, crudely presented with a ridiculous large amount of chips for 1 person. Half the tables were empty and non alcoholic drinks took 15 minutes to arrive after reminding 2 different staff we had already placed a drink order. I have no problem paying for quality service and food. This meal and experience was simply awful and a disservice to the unique upscale expectation of the Mission area. Taste your food before it leaves the kitchen, polish your knife skills, and dig in and start training your staff about image, timeliness and accuracy. read more
