I'm going to dream about the enchiladas, they were soooo good - 100% recommend. The service was good, and our server was great - my only complaint is that our drinks got to our table right before we received our food. Which makes sense - the restaurant was packed on a Wednesday night and I believe there was only one bartender. As the overall vibes of the restaurant, it was great. They made good use of the space, I did not feel cramped at all. They also have a ton of outdoor seating. read more

Really not the best choice for Mexican in the city. We got the fish and pork tacos and the quality wasn't there.

Given that the Philadelphia location has permanently closed, I have some satisfaction knowing that the New York location still exists. I met up with my besties here for our NY brunch. I really enjoy their brunch options and the unlimited French toast, drinks and chips! The music, the joyous vibes, and the full tables of people happy to have secured a reservation. read more

Amazing place! Tacos were the best I have ever had. Cozy atmosphere. Staff friendly. Recommend

Came here for lunch after the NYC 1/2 marathon. The place was crowded but the vibe was amazing! The staff was friendly and the salsa music was fun! The wait staff was super attentive and patient as we had a very large group. We ordered guacamole and chips to start. The guacamole was very good and obviously fresh. I ordered a mimosa and mah mahi tacos for lunch. The Mimosa was great. The tacos lacked unique flavor to be honest. They were bland. Overall a great restaurant. I'd def try one of the more flavorful dishes next time read more

Anejo - Fish Tacos - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

I've come here a few times and have determined the food here is solid, but regardless of the time of day or how busy they are, the service is unbearably slow. Most recently, I went there for an early dinner. I just caught the tail end of their happy hour and the restaurant wasn't very busy. I always get the guacamole and salsa combo, it is a bit pricey but totally worth it. I love all of their 4 different salsas they make in house and the healthy serving of guacamole. This appetizer is definitely enough for at least 3 people to share. For the entree, my table got pork carnitas tacos, crispy fish tacos, salmon a la veracruzana, and pollo adobado. The chicken was delicious and cooked perfectly with a crispy skin. The salmon was seared perfectly, but I expected more flavor from the vegetables. The tacos are always solid, but could be a bit more spices. In the past, I've been to their brunch a few times but it was just too chaotic the last time we went so I try to avoid it. During a weekend brunch, they get pretty busy so slower service is somewhat expected. However, it is a bit frustrating when they offer bottomless cocktails and you have to wait quite some time for the next drink. Their bottomless brunch includes cocktails (including margaritas) and guacamole. In the past, they've included coconut french toast as desert. The coconut french toast is still on the menu and is a must try as it was a favorite among my table. Their carne asada con huevos is pretty standard. The yucca fries are more like tots and I would have liked them to be more crispy. In the past, they had shrimp and grits and pork carnitas breakfast tacos. The shrimp and grits were well seasoned and the shrimp cooked perfectly, but the breakfast tacos needed a sauce. It is a nice casual local restaurant and always has availability. I would say going there for happy hour is definitely worth it, but wouldn't recommend going there if you didn't have ample time to hang around. read more

Great option for Mexican grub. Only complaint is that you can't mix and match tacos :(. Service is quick and excellent. We stopped by on a Monday evening and were seated immediately and it wasn't too busy. read more

Bestie picked this restaurant to celebrate her birthday here,and it was absolute perfection. I have not been this impressed with a Mexican restaurant in a very long time (I am picky, I like authentic as it gets). If my dish does not have cilantro, onions, and a million sauces, salsas then I don't want it!!! The dishes were flowing smoothly, and felt like a grandmother from Mexico was cooking her best recipes. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. Service was nice as well. Restaurant is on the smaller side, but that is what makes it cozy. My friends and I collectively all said this might be a new go to from now on. Oh I almost forgot the coconut cake was a show stopper. Absolutely come here, thanks bestie for finding this place, you never disappoint!! read more

In search of good Mexican food, I happened to find Anejo and dined here with friends after seeing a broadway show. This place has THE best Mexican food I have tasted in a long time! Everything is so fresh! I could taste every single flavor in my shrimp tacos! The shrimp was cooked so tenderly. The fresh cilantro and cotija cheese was beyond! The pork belly tostadas were also incredible! Guac and chips were ordered for the table and we all were blown away by the freshness and taste. Service was great! The place is small but cozy and I loved that. I'm used to overcrowded restaurants, but this small somewhat local feel was very nice. I will definitely return! Anejo blew me away! read more

Ambience was really nice. We went in around 3pm and it was quiet, which made for a perfect late lunch. Service was excellent; our waiter was super attentive. The birria tacos were a 10/10, and the consommé was just as good. As it got later, the place definitely picked up, and we spotted what looked like a margarita flight that caught our eye read more

I was in Manhattan for four days and I ate at Anejo three times twice for lunch and once for dinner! I'm back home in California and I can't believe I'm saying this, but I miss New York Mexican!! it turns out the chef is also Puerto Rican so he puts an extra personality and spin on Mexican food, which is exceptional, delicious, flavorful, thoughtful, and inspiring. I love that they don't overuse garlic. The flavors of the spices can really shine. Every dish was my favorite, but definitely get the braised pork crispy burrito for lunch. read more

Great Mexican food in Hell's kitchen. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and lively. Service was prompt and attentive. We enjoyed having dinner while watching a few tables on first dates. We ordered lamb and fish tacos (which come in two or three), the guacamole and salsa combo, and a side of esquites. This is one of the best esquites I've ever had!! The guacamole and salsa combo was interesting because it came with so many sauces. I was very happy! I can see that this is a great date spot and local eatery. read more

I found this place on Google Maps as I was looking for a place close by to a theatre I was going to and all I can say is WOW!! We made a reservation and was running late and they were very accommodating about it which was great. The place is on the smaller side so it seems to get busy quick and the tables can be close together but it wasn't too much of a bother. The drink menu had a good selection. For the food we had spilt guac and the rib eye fajitas and let me tell you the fajitas were AMAZING! I would absolutely return to this place and highly recommend ! read more

We decided to come here as a party of 4 on a Friday evening, entertaining our friends with some Mexican food they don't normally get at home overseas. Knowing it was Friday, we were able to get a reservation in at a pretty early time at 6:30pm. This came in handy as we were here at the restaurant for just over 2 hours, which was mostly by choice, but a luxury worth having. The place itself is not too large. There are tables indoors and a decent amount outdoors. The indoor seating is split between high tables and regular tables. I originally chose a low table, but as it was next to the bathroom, we opted to swap it for a high table instead. Smart choice. For starters, we decided to go for the guacamole + salsa combo. Our waiter was nice enough to swap the traditional guac with the spicy pineapple guac. Smart choice as the spicy pineapple guac had a dope taste to it. However, we truly enjoyed the variety of salsas as they had different levels of kicks to complement the taste palettes. Also, the chips were plentiful too and we were able to get extras as we had a ton of salsa to get through. Also, as a party of 4, it made the most economical sense to split a pitcher of margarita as it allowed us to get the best bang for our buck. I think it amounted to around 6 glasses for the 4 of us. We went with the signature Anejo margarita with the spicy salt, which was quite refreshing. As for dinner, my girl and the other couple split 2 non-vegetarian tacos, which turned out to be plenty. I opted for the enchiladas verde with veggies. This was really good and it wasn't too heavy. All in all - very solid meal and a fun dinner. I'd recommend. read more

I came here for bottomless brunch with my friends. We had a really great time. Everyone at the table has to participate. I loved that brunch came with chips, guac, and salsa. The chips were on the thick side, which I love. The guac was thick, which I also love. We also got French toast to share before our appetizers. People got margaritas and mimosas. My friends said the margaritas were strong. Service was great! I would definitely come back. read more

I didn't like the Servise. I got the seat right under extremely cold AC unit. I was freezing and asked to move us to a different table, but they said "nothing was available." I waited for the food for very long time - almost 30 min. And because the cold was unbearable, I had to leave without having my dinner read more

Great food. Great drinks. Great time. Great sex. It was a wonderful night altogether.

The margaritas were very good. The bar was packed so they sat us at a table until something opened at the bar. Just as we were getting ready to order food "a manager Juan" came to tell us that we had to leave the table because he was expecting a reservation. The bar only had 1 stool available so we could not move to the bar. So we cancelled our food order, paid and left. Just as we're leaving we saw Mr. Juan put an additional stool at the bar for a couple. He wasn't accommodating us but he quickly accommodated the couple that just arrived. He's acted this way before and I don't want to think it's a racial profile but he seems to be very accommodating to Caucasian's. My money is just as green as theirs so I'm not sure what his problem is. Needless to say he won't be seeing us anymore. read more

The corn dumplings were outstanding! Great skinny margarita. Also ordered the pork enchiladas which were good, but I'd try something different next time. Looking forward to returning read more

For Mexican food in the northeast - this is very very good. Vibe-wise it's crowded and noisy, it was hard to hear my dining companion across from me at a very small table. Sadly for me I'm on team mocktail for now but I was consoled by the Jalisco Sunrise, which was delicious but a LITTLE too sweet. The guacamole was addictive and the cauliflower tacos were next level. Service was fine, bathrooms are fine, outdoor seating was ample but sitting outside in Hell's Kitchen is usually a no go for me. I've come here before and glad to see the food quality is still excellent! read more

We came for happy hour. The A/C was blasting to the point we had to put our jackets on! The sangria was good; empanadas were not very special (but were inexpensive too, so..); queso fondido was nice and cheesy (but quickly got too cold and tough as it was so cold inside the restaurant), and th loaded yuca fries were delicious and refreshing. I love a good Happy Hour read more

We were on our way to another restaurant in mid town when we passed by Añejo. Must have been fate that the other place ended up closed for Labor Day, because we came back and had a great meal. We came in around 5:45 and they had no problem getting us in and out comfortably before our show at 7. We started with the Salsa quatro sampler, followed by the Pork belly tostadas and Carne arrechera. The white sauce and the salsa verde were my favorite 2 salsas of the bunch. I highly recommend the carne arrechera. The beef was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the pickled vegetables that came with it were tasty too. I don't normally find the side of rice and beans interesting enough to finish, but they were delicious here. read more

I stopped by Anejo with a couple of friends for dinner this week and had a great experience overall. It's a cute, laid back space with a decent range of menu options, including vegetarian dishes, and the prices are reasonable for the area. We ordered guacamole, roasted Brussels sprouts, and my one friend and I shared the grilled octopus and salmon entrees. Our other friend ordered cauliflower tacos, which he has had there before and seems to really like. Everything was very tasty and well seasoned, and the food and drinks came out quickly. My only critique is that the octopus was very tough and chewy. Other seafood lovers may not mind that, but I wouldn't order that particular dish again. I loved everything else though, and our server was attentive and friendly, which was a plus. read more

Came here with a group of friends and there seemed to be a ton of inside/outside seating which is nice given the weather recently. Chips and salsa were good, with the salsa being a bit spicy but they brought more chips later too. I got the tacos, which you can get with 2 or 3 tacos which is a nice option. Very filled tacos and the shrimp was quite tasty. Their margs were pretty good with a pitcher filling about 7 glasses. Service was pretty attentive. read more

*Updated Review* It has been years since visiting, but it is still a solid choice for margaritas! We did the margarita flights, and it was a great way to try different ones. We didn't order food, but the menu looked great. Reservations are recommended if dining in. We sat at the bar. I found the bartenders a tad standoffish. They didn't really engage. I would visit again though. read more

My mother and I went to this restaurant because we needed to get something to eat near our hotel before seeing a Broadway show. The service was OK. We ordered chips and salsa as an appetizer, and the salt on the chips were not evenly distributed. Some chips were bland and tasted still, while others tasted like an entire bottle of salt was on one ship. My mother and I ordered tacos, and they were some of the best tacos that we have ever had. In my opinion, the tacos alone make up for everything else that we either did not like, or were indifferent different about with this restaurant. The tacos alone are enough of a reason to visit this spot! read more

Great spot for a Friday happy hour - drinks and snacks. The blanco margarita with spicy salt was the perfect balance of sweet and spicy. What's better than chips and salsa - FOUR different salsas! Tacos and nachos were both fresh and flavorful. Portions were perfect. Amanda was an amazing waitress; attentive and super friendly! Our group of 3 lucked out without a reservation for happy hour, but it got pretty full by time we left around 6:30 so definitely consider a reservation for dinner. read more

Food: standard guac, great salsa cuatro! Habanero salsa and salsa verde had good amount of substance - not too liquidy or watery. Great flavor. Chips were a tad too hard on my teeth but maybe just my aging teeth...still crunched on them and enjoyed. My colleagues had tacos, of which they raved - one from SoCal near Baja said it was decent which is a high praise. I had the shrimp empanadas and they give you 3 minis yet stuffed and cheesy and delish Service: no frills, friendly Ambiance: no frills, clean, casual read more

The food and service was great! A little dark inside but that seems to be the vibe. I didn't mind it! The food was great! The goat cheese guac was different in a good way!

My husband and I stumbled across this place before a show at the Pershing theater and what a find!! We loved everything about this place; vibe, food, drinks, friendliness of the staff, AND a bomb a** happy hour. The cocktails were absolutely delicious, even the espresso martini had real espresso in it. The spicy tequila they make in house was delish but very spicy so he asks if you want mild, medium, or hot... be honest lol The nachos were probably some of the best I've had, and a great portion. The tacos were fresh tasting and everything had such great flavor. Would definitely come back!! read more

A wonderful place to grab some bites and a drink with friends, a date or even solo. I stopped in for dinner while waiting to meet a friend later in the evening. I chose the chicken empanadas, corn dumplings and chips and guacamole. I elected for the Anejo margarita to round out my meal. The empanadas were my favorite. They were doughy, flavorful and satisfying. There was a nice smattering of sea salt on the outside which was a nice surprise and added to the overall taste. The corn dumplings were also very good, there were 4, some with meat and all very good. The sauce underneath was a nice accompaniment to them. The guacamole was great to smother on the empanadas and dumplings for extra flavor. Service was attentive and nice, not intrusive. Cute place and definitely recommend. read more

The food, service, & ambiance were 10/10. We tried the carnitas tacos, shrimp tacos, and birria tacos as well as the blanco margarita with spicy rim. Everything was absolutely amazing.
