We temporarily relocated to the Cape for work and live out of a hotel which essentially means we will become very well acquainted with Hyannis' restaurant scene. It became evident very early on that Anejo was a highly recommended and popular spot. At around the same time, it became evident that this place is harder to get into than the White House. The first time we attempted to dine here was a Friday night in August at around 7:30pm which honestly was stupid as fuck and the wait was 90 minutes but what the fuck did we expect? Anejo playing hard to get just solidified our determination and we tried again that following Monday at around 6:30. The wait was 45 min. Did I mention that we don't wait? Sigh. They had us wrapped around their little finger at this point. Desperation emanated from every pore and we returned the following Tuesday aka THE NEXT DAY at mother fucking 5:30pm with intermittent RAIN and much to my surprise there were plenty of empty tables. We were seated under the iconic beech tree that's like older than the earth itself or something. I have to say, I don't know what is poisoning the water in CC these days but the service every single place we have been has been absolutely excellent and this place was no different. Our server was personable, friendly, and took excellent care of us. Because of the excessive eating out, I need to watch my fucking calories. I adore the fact that they have a skinny cocktail menu because you know I'm not going to cut out the alcohol. I ordered the pineapple jalapeño skinny marg and GF the blood orange skinny marg. They were both delicious and both had a nice kick. Despite the gen Z girl diner at the table next to us' view that spicy drinks are "absolutely disgusting" (genuinely wondering whether this girl is old enough to drink lmao), I respectfully disagree. You would never know they were "skinny". Their menu deviates somewhat from the standard Mexican-restaurant-in-Amurica fare, Instead of a gazillion things, the menu is smaller but more defined and had a twist, including fried pickles, for example. Most categories had some vegetarian options. GF and I decided to do a splitsies with our ordering and shared everything. I am THE OG NACHO BITCH so despite the shit I said before about dieting, I had to try theirs which we noted immediately was more of an LA distribution (GF prefers to describe it as "communist" nachos) which means a very thin layer of chips where every chip is covered with toppings. At Anejo, the toppings include refried beans, lettuce (which unfortunately is the boring iceberg), Oaxaca-jack cheese, pickled jalapeño, cortina cheese, picante crema (which is SEX btw), pico de gallo (kindly placed on the side at my request), and guacamole is stated on the menu but this is fake news because there was none of that shit. Nevertheless, the nachos were fantastic. They must have special nacho chips because they are the biggest tortilla chips I have ever seen, I kid you not, they are like the size of a pizza and hold so many toppings!!! GENIUS. This shit was fucking delicious. We also shared the Coliflor Frita tacos with crispy habanero cauliflower, corn tortillas, blue cheese dressing, onion, cilantro, and golden raisins. We were warned that the cauliflower is spicy, it's not and I'm as white as they come. We questioned the inclusion of golden raisins in a cauliflower taco but it works. The tacos come with their spicy fried pickles on the side which is a plus. The pickles are not "fried" with a breading in the traditional sense, I'm not sure why they are called "fried" because they are essentially just seasoned pickled slices. The diet comes in with our order of the La Casa salad with mixed greens, tomato, avocado, cortina cheese, onion, cucumber, and a spiced lime vinaigrette. I adored this salad. It had all of the fresh Mexican flavors in a healthier package and I felt better about myself after eating it. Finally, we also ordered a side of their rice and beans. The beans are good but a touch too salty for my taste. The rice has that mouthwatering rice seasoning and goes down easy. I would also like to say the chips and salsa they give you are also incredible. The chips are normal sized but crispy and some of the best tortilla chips I've had. The salsa is also less chunky, which I prefer, but provides an incredible flavor. You already know that the ambiance of this place under that ancient tree is something special and unique that you can't get anywhere else. I also just noticed that you can add yourself to the waitlist on their website so now I can live there. read more

This place was packed on a Saturday night even at 9 PM. We only had to wait 15 minutes for our table though which was good. I got the house margarita with a Grand Mariner floater since they didn't have a separate Cadillac margarita. The margarita was pretty good. The salsa that came with the chips tasted like tomato paste and didn't have much flavor. The nachos were huge and was more of a taco salad on top of a few chips. It looked like a pizza when it came out instead of typical nachos piled on top of each other. read more

Awesome complimentary chips and spicy salsa, the beef chimichanga was amazing. Not spicy which works for me and the beef was tender like pot roast, not cheap ground beef. When in the area I would def repeat read more

They do not take reservations. You can add your name to their waitlist online before you go to try and reduce wait time. I came here on a Saturday in August at 6:00pm and the wait was 1hr and 45min. We ended up only waiting 1.30min. While you wait there are tons of couches so the time past by quickly as we grabbed a drink at the bar and waited comfortably. The food is good. Not amazing but probably one of the better Mexican places on Cape Cod. The prices are $$$ ($15 for a margarita) but you are paying for the atmosphere. You really can't go wrong if you are coming here with a group. As the night goes on it gets more and more fun. Especially in the back dinning area by the big tree. The service is not great but again, it's all about the atmosphere at this place. read more

A very cool spot on busy Main St Hyannis. This can be fun just to grab drinks, though some of the fruity ones are a little too sweet, as well as for dinner. The empanadas are huge, if you're hungry, but there are also fresh and interesting healthier options. It's always a treat to get a spot under the tree but the decor inside is also well designed and sets a great tone for going out. read more

We LOVE anemia. Which is crazy because we usually don't love Tex mex. We have been to the location in Falmouth plenty of times. This location is just as good and if not better because the ambience outside is so nice. This is definitely a great place for brunch or date night. The menu is the same and consistently good so I would say apps wise the lobster taquitos are the star. The corn slaw with crema really brightens the dish. It is perfect to share. For entrees I always get the mole chicken. I love everything about this rise. The rice. The beans. The rich mole sauce. The chicken is always very tender. The fajitas are good too. I have tried a handful of tacos each time and they are just ok. I would stick to main entrees. The portion sizes are also really large so if you are visiting without a fridge for leftovers ... definitely bring a friend or two to share with. read more

So good, when we return to the Cape thru out the year. We frequently stop at Añejo. Most of the year it's open till 10pm, the food and service is fabulous. Tres Enchiladas and Burritos are the best. So consistent. But, I recently deviated and ordered the pork shank dinner. Upon receiving it, I took one bit; it was lukewarm. I asked the sever to have the kitchen heat up again. The manager immediately came to us apologizing and he stated due to training new kitchen help they were remaking the dinner. Waiting for the dinner they gave us complimentary drink. When we got our bill they took 1/2 the dinner off the bill. We told them that was completely unnecessary! That's customer service and that is why we go out of our way to go there! Thank you Anejo for the fabulous Mexican cuisine. read more

Stopped in for Lunch one Sunday afternoon while visiting the area...I'll say; I'm picky with Mexican food (I'm half Mexican and grew up in Texas). We loved the food and the drinks (Spicy Marg) were great too. The chipotle stung lobster bisque was super tasty!! my daughter had and loved the chicken wings...I did the 3 taco plate w a side of rice & beans and enjoyed them all...my s/o did some huge burrito (I didn't ask about or try it but, it looked good and he ate it all) everything was yummm. Will def be back when we're in the area!! read more

I wish I took more pictures of our food! Everything was presented nicely and it was all delicious! I would definitely go back again. I had the tres enchiladas and brought home more than half of my meal. My daughter had the classic burrito and brought most of it home... but she wanted to save room for the churros and chocolate dessert! My husband had the beef chimichanga! Can't wait to go back again soon! read more

Anejo Mexican Bistro - Mango caliente margarita - Mexican Near Me - Hyannis, Massachusetts

The food and environment is fantastic. So, why the 1 star review? The service was probably the worst we have ever had in any restaurant. Server Tiffany was awful and completely unapologetic for our food being late. We were polite in mentioning that our food was not out yet. We mentioned this since 3 other tables received their food after us, and we were seated before all those tables, and those other tables ordered drinks as well. Really was egregious as she blamed us since we ordered one appetizer, and that was the reason for our food being late. No apologies and seemed bent out of shape that we had to ask for our food. Also, didn't ask how our food was, and the first thing she asked us after serving us was, do you want boxes for leftovers. We just started eating! ha. Well, no food was comp'd. Hopefully the place will move on from this server or they'll just leave. We'll go back for the food, but we certainly be on the look out for not getting that server again. read more

Really disappointed that we got take out this evening from Añejo including a small side of guac that cost $8 and we were given a small ramekin no more than 3 oz that was barely filled. Bad value. read more

So happy that they have an Anejo in Hyannis now! They have seating options indoors and out, which is great. I have had many of the margarita options, which are all delicious. Because of dietary restrictions, I couldn't find anything exciting to drink this past visit, but the bartender made a skinny jalapeño margarita for me that was awesome. Definitely try the prickly pear margarita if you can! For food, the mole enchiladas are delicious, and so is the tres enchiladas plate. Their queso appetizer is delicious and their habanero wings are super yummy. It is also a great place to go for late night drinking on Main Street! read more

We decided to stop by this place for lunch before leaving the cape. A friend recommended it and it did not disappoint! There was only outdoor seating available which was fine because we wanted to sit under the big tree anyways. We were a party of 8, but since we arrived right as they opened, we were seated immediately. There is also an outdoor bar with seating. Great ambiance! I had a skinny margarita which was a good size drink. I tried the mussels, calamari and the mahi mahi tacos. Food did take a while to come out but everything was delicious. Our server was attentive and checked in with us. Overall a great experience. read more

Had a party of 7 on a Sunday afternoon so considering it was brunch time and there was live music playing, we had to wait like 45ish minutes, but considering the party size and the limited large tables in the restaurant, this was a reasonable wait time. You could order drinks while waiting. The vibe is amazing. The large tree providing shade on a hot day was amazing. The live music was a huge plus as well for a Sunday brunch. The complimentary chips and salsa were really good. We also ordered a lot which was also really good. Specifically, I tried the Añejo nachos (vegetarian) which were heavier than expected, but very good. I loved the amount of avocado on the nachos. I also ordered the Tres Tacos, but instead of the Carne Asada, I substituted the Colifor Frita. All of the tacos were really good, especially the Pollo Elotes and I would highly recommend all 3. For drinks, I had the Citrus Mojito which was nice and smooth 10/10 would recommend this spot at any time! Would make for a great brunch spot with the live music or a date spot at any time read more

Upon arriving at Añejo last night, we were "greeted" by a group of three hosts that were simply just rude and uninviting. They looked us up and down with what felt like a judgmental glare and it seemed like they barely wanted to give us a table and then sat us in the back corner of the restaurant by the kitchen. This kinda ruined the whole experience for us because we just felt unwelcome right from the start. Our server ended up being really nice so that was a relief, but the food was sub-par at best. The queso kinda just tasted like a bechamel with hot sauce on top, the elote was kinda odd but not terrible, and my quesadilla was alright but nothing i'd come back for. really disappointed because i heard a lot of great things. read more

Restaurant takes Mexican with a new American twist. Ordered the Tres Tacos (Tinga - chipotle braised chicken tacos, soft local corn tortillas, Oaxaca-jack cheese, avocado salsa, pickled red onion, cilantro; Carnitas - slow roasted pork tacos, soft local corn tortillas, Oaxaca-jack cheese, pico verde, cilantro aioli, cotija; Carne Asada - grilled marinated skirt steak tacos, soft local corn tortillas, Oaxaca-jack cheese, white onion, cilantro, guacamole, cotija cheese). They use white meat chicken, which I'm not a fan of because it's usually dry. Carne Asada was actually quite tender. Used corn tortilla for tacos, however they were toasted a bit too long for my taste. Good ambience, a great date place in downtown Hyannis. But food overall was 3.5 stars. read more

We had a large group, waited for a table to accommodate our 12. The hostess was not happy. Our waitress Julie was great and attentive. Great Birria Quesadilla. The Saffron risotto I ordered was very dry and had too much of an unpleasant spice (too much achiote? Saffron is too expensive to waste)I doubt it was too much saffron due to price. read more

I got a regular margarita and the Baja. Both were very good! Also, loved the atmosphere. We sat outside of the tree. Would definitely go again. read more

Im really confused by the positive ratings for the FOOD. The staff is lovely and always go out of their way. The food / menu is some kind of experimental parody. I've eaten here six times - part of a group, not my choice - and have been able to enjoy one thing, a salad. It's just not good. I wish they would get a professional to develop the menu / recipes. read more

Have had dinner here twice and not been disappointed. The ambiance is great, food and service excellent. Highly recommend.

A must-try spot in Hyannis! Sit under the tree if you can -- it's a unique dining experience and lovely ambiance. The drinks were really great, too (had a blood orange margarita). read more

Perfect atmosphere and friendly service. My boyfriend and I arrived around 6PM on a summer Friday and were seated immediately outside. Larger parties had to wait about 45 minutes - they don't take reservations. Apps: 1. Coconut calamari was amazing and kind of spicy, definitely worth trying 2. The lobster taquitos were okay, we couldn't really taste the lobster and probably wouldn't order again Dinner: I had the shrimp and avocado salad which I highly recommend! The salad dressing was so good. My boyfriend had the tres enchiladas which he really liked too, it was a ton of food. read more

Excellent mexican food. Street corn - very flavorful, cooked well. 5/5 Cauliflower tacos - excellent dish, even thought we're we're hesitant since it has blue cheese and habanero sauce. Our waitress suggested to go light on the sauce and we are glad we did. It has raisins too and actually works well like a hot honey flavor with the spicy sauce. The melted cheese tastes more like a crema than cheese. 5/5 Mushroom enchiladas - very good, slightly mild in flavor. Ask for green rice if you're vegetarian since the regular one has chicken broth. 4/5 Fries Ice cream - good, like a ice-cream sundae, did not taste the fried part much with all the whipped cream & the outside was not hot like expected. 4/5 read more
