This place serves a highly-recommended Tlayuda, which is kind of an 8" cracker pizza. Since this was my first time ever trying the dish, I've no point of reference. But it was an interesting taste, with a topping a bit like lox or sushi. I also got the fish taco pair; these were just okay. read more

Well, of course the portions are small. They're supposed to be; it's tapas. Small plates. I really enjoyed my experience at Anejo. Apparently it's owned by the same chef who opened Social Eatz, which we also liked. We tried the following: Corn dumpling - excellent and probably my favorite Shrimp ceviche - also great; had a strong grapefruit-y flavor Pork tamale in the banana leaf - awesome Sweet chili cashews - equally awesome The bartender, who was very sweet, also recommended some cocktails for us. I had the Pina Oaxaca, which is made with that delicious smoky mezcal. I also learned how to pronounce Oaxaca during my visit, a skill I have promptly forgotten. After dinner, I tried the Mole Noche, which was a little too toxic for my liking. One note - as soon as you're seated, your waiter will ask you if you want to start off with guacamole. Check the prices before saying yes! It's not a cheap starter. We didn't end up getting it, but I'd love to try the pineapple guac next time. read more

Ended up here for a belated National Tequila Day celebration. Very impressed with this place. To start, we ordered margaritas which were delicious... both the classic and the jalapeño infused one. Our Yelp check-in included a free order of chips and salsas (4 flavors). #FreeFood Waiter advised that the plates were tapas style, so we started with an order of the pork belly appetizer and fish tacos. The pork belly was the signature dish of the evening. The succulent pork belly was nestled on a crispy round tortilla chip smothered with delicious guacamole. It all came together very nicely. The fish tacos were solid with a nice fish flavor and crunchy crisp finish. We also ordered the Corn Dumplings which included some diced chorizo and the Berkshire Pork Tacos. All dishes were well prepared and delicious. To finish, we opted for the flan which is a fan favorite of mine. The service was attentive and the space was a rustic decor with a soothing ambiance and plenty of cool artwork. I would certainly go back to try some of the other dishes including the entrées. read more

The ambience was fantastic. However the margaritas were more margarita mix than anything else. It tasted very inorganic and I feel like I could have made it at home with premade margarita mix. I think the food is three stars. Nothing to rave about. I think if this is a quick spot you would stop over to get a snack at I think the ambience makes it worth it. However there are definitely better places that you can go to in the area with better drinks and better Mexican food. read more

Sam our waiter was so friendly and accommodating. The food was tasty as well as beautifully presented. read more

Food was okay. Ceviche was super fresh and the guacamole was unfortunately not very good. It was not pure avocado, it was mixed with mayo or something that really made it heavy and changed the flavor. I ended up throwing it out. Won't order here again. read more

Great find in Hell's Kitchen! Went with a group of friends on the day of the first big snow storm of 2017 and had no problem getting a reservation for 7:30PM. Probably not that easy when weather isn't inclement. Food selections and portions were absolutely perfect! My only request is to add a gluten free beer to the menu, although Corona is classified as a GF beer by FDA standards. read more

Anejo - Great to see dear old friends from L.A. and my former Santa Monica Track Club teammate in NYC. - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

so apparently this place has the best ritas in NYC and was voted as such. I tried the rita. good, but not great. was rather sweet I felt, but I turned my focus to the nachos. Those were pretty amazing and not your average nachos. I had the one with the 3 dip options- I would recommend only the guac. Dont waste your time with the others. We also got the pork belly tacos and the chorizo tamale- v small portions and just 2 to a plate for the tacos. Worth a taste though, it was well cooked and prepared. The place seems interesting in terms of decor I think it was nicer since the doors were open and that gave it an outdoor feel read more

I had a good time here! This place is always packed, inside and outside! We waited a few minutes for an early dinner on a Sunday. We ordered 2 guacs (they were on the HH menu) and the chef gave us an extra chipotle flavored one-yay to that! I got the sangria and my friend got a beer. What else-we split the short rib tacos (they come in 2s), pork tacos, yucca fries (were ok), and all the chips 'n guac filled us up!! Great, friendly service, and I hear it's a blast when the chef is in the restaurant (we missed him that day though, boo). read more

Met a friend for happy hour here. I was surprised by the interior - the wooden communal tables is definitely not something you generally see in the HK area. It added a sort of pleasant charm to the restaurant and makes it look very inviting. With a name like "Anejo" what else to try mezcal and tequila of course. I had an el diablo and a few mezcal margaritas. They were delicious and the bartender was able to entertain while he was making the drinks as well. We had a few bites of food (ceviche, a few tacos, grilled octupus) - there was nothing exceptional about the food, but it got the job done. Come for a few drinks - go elsewhere for dinner. read more

The jalapeño margarita was different. Good different. The mixed ceviche wasn't bad. The octopus was very good. The waitress and bus person were wonderful. The seat was uncomfortable for my back. My husband didn't think the tacos were anything special. Be prepared to have bad luck because the only place to put your purse is on the floor otherwise it'll get knocked off your chair. The noise level was so loud that my husband and I couldn't hear each other. It was so bad he even said, "I hate this!". When we got home we got into an argument over a misunderstanding about what each other said because of the noise level. I'm never going back and I think it's safe to say my husband doesn't want to either. read more

Nice place in the heart of hells kitchen, awesome octopus.. great ambience and very good service.. definitely a great place to return. Free Salsa was awesome too. read more

Fun place to have a drink in Hell's Kitchen as long as you like either tequila or mezcal. The drinks are affordable, good ambiance indoors and outdoors. Can't comment on the food as the kitchen was closed the two times I went. Service was fast and with a smile. One note here, not the cleanest of places, especially the bathrooms. read more

Visiting the city, enjoyed the food! The only reason why I didn't give it 5 stars was because it was pricey for small portions.

Great brunch deal - $47 for 2 apps to share, entree and unlimited margaritas for 90 mins. The drinks and food were perfect. The French toast was the best! The service was also amazing. I can't wait for to go back soon. read more

Never stopped by this popular restaurant due to the fact there are three cheaper Mexican options within a half block of this place. Saw that they had interesting brunch options so got a table on a Sunday afternoon. After a boozy Saturday, wasn't going to have the alcohol deal. Started off with the Spicy Pineapple Guacamole ($11) to share. A small portion of guacamole topped with a sweet pineapple chunk sauce. Tasted good, and served with large tortilla halved, wish there was more of it. For the meal, ordered the Chicken Chilaquiles ($13) - shredded chicken, veggies, salsa, cheese, tortilla, and a fried egg within one bowl. A big collaboration of flavor that's similar to huevos rancheros, just in a different format. Overall a good spot for higher-end Mexican food. Would try again for the brunch pre-fixe if I have it in me. read more

Ordered Uber eats, $16 for steak sandwich, rice n beans, chips n side salad. Only received the sandwich after waiting curbside for 15minutes. Won't be going back, unless it's for margaritas! Update your online ordering specifics, the professional thing to do. (Especially as people are relying on take out to eat during these covid 19 times). I walked a few blocks over and picked up some chips guac and salsa, with rice and beans with side pics di Gallo from taqueria close by to complete the meal. Just because we have moved into to go orders only, there can still be a level of expectancy and hospitality involved. read more

This is a cute brunch spot. Tables are kind of narrow and awkward though. Our waitress was super nice I wish I remembered her name. We just kept getting the bottomless margaritas and they were extremely strong. I got two and felt a strong buzz. The brunch is also unlimited family style dishes. I enjoyed most of them, but a lot of them are fillers (mostly nachos, guac and chips, mostly cheaper stuff but still yummy). The standout dishes were the breakfast tacos and the french toast. You can get as many dishes as you want. Ambience is cute with interesting light fixtures. read more

Great service!!! Brunch was fabulous and my friends and I were well take care of. The margaritas were just what we needed on a hot day! I recommend sitting outside :) read more

Cruz was our server and he was phenomenal .. very attentive and gave us a special treat :) love the inside as well, great place for a date or girls night out. Food: I had the drunken lamb barbacoa and yuca fries on the side. The barbacoa was delicious and was the most bang for your buck. Came with 4 tortillas and salsa on the side. Drinks: tequila flights were amazing! We had the Mezcal flight with oranges which was so smooth and smoky. I cannot wait to come back to this place! May try the tribeca location next time :) definitely recommend! read more

Being an east side guy, I do have a few favorites on the far west side of Hell's Kitchen (Taboon; Print in Ink48), and I think Anejo just made the list! Pretty cool concept of tapas style Mexican food, and quality / portions were quite solid. Guac trio was just ok, but everything else was spot on - fish tacos, chicken tacos, mushroom tamale (personal fav), cornbread and finally corn dumplings. El diablo (jalapeño margarita) was not quite as spicy as advertised, but if that's my biggest complaint then this place is doing just fine in my book. Good amount of outdoor seating which is also a plus, and good looking crowd on a Friday night. read more

The lunch special here is great!!! ~$13 for a drink, tacos, a small salad, some yuca fries, and chips/salsa! Truly a great deal in Hell'a kitchen. The market salad is amazing and the ingredients pair very well together. The smoky chipotle salsa is a great addition for dipping. This place has outdoor seating and super friendly staff! Love to drop by here for lunch when I have the time. read more

Great place for brunch. For $55 it includes unlimited cocktails such as mimosas or margaritas, and unlimited chips and guac. Additionally they serve French toast for the table. You have the option to pick from huevos rancheros and tacos. Service was decent. Ambiance was casual and Spanish music in the background. read more

Brunch Review: Only a few veg options, including Mexican Toast and an egg dish. Otherwise it's all meat. The toast was actually delicious, and enormous. I'd totally get it again. The service, however, is mixed. On a very quiet Saturday morning in a totally empty restaurant we waited about 10 minutes before anyone asked us if we wanted anything. read more

Decent food. Grumpy waitress. Very expensive for what you get. Will not return. For $11 you get a small ramekin of Guam with maybe 8 chips. $21 for 3 small tacos. Margs that say they are made with fresh limes but def taste like mix. Nope. There's better, more authentic, cheaper Mexican right across the street. read more

TACOS!! This is a Top Chef contestant restaurant and it shows. The decor is rustic and relaxed, the music has Mexican flair and the service is friendly. The combination made me feel like I was on vacation. And the food... YUM! If you're visiting the city do yourself a favor and get off Times Square when it's time to eat. This place isn't a long walk and it's worth it. We had the short rib tacos and the chicken tacos with pineapple salsa. Loved them both. The short ribs are savory with a hint of heat, and two is more than enough since I think the meat sits a little heavy. The chicken tacos are light with a hint of sweet and perfect for a summer lunch. The yucca fries are awesome! Did I mention hand made tortilla chips? So good! And the avocado salsa is perfect. We went at 11:45, and were the first in the door. When we left at 12:45 there was one other table. In other words, it's perfect for a quiet weekday lunch away from the tourist traps. This one goes on my list of Go-To spots when visiting the city. read more

Love this place! The brunch deal is fantastic and the food is great! HOWEVER... On our last visit for Sunday Brunch, our server was fantastic! She was very fun, personable, and helpful. Loved her. BUT, she was WAY overworked. She had so many tables and was trying to help them all. She did not seem to be supported by the rest of the team, at all. There were two hosts just standing around between seating tables, who could have EASILY helped her. But instead they just stood there talking and not paying ANY attention. We had to finally ask them to help the server and get us some ice and we were greeted with attitude. If they could all help each other out, it would have been a much more enjoyable experience. We had to keep flagging down people to get service, because our server had so many tables. Also, please replace the two chandeliers with two ceiling fans. Please! It would make for a MUCH more enjoyable dining experience. Again, the food is great, the brunch deal is great. But there are service issues to be worked out! read more

Get the shisito peppers- they were SO GOOD!!! Best ones i've ever had. The drinks were pretty good too, we got a paloma and it was pretty refreshing. FYI: the drink menu is pretty different than the one online so don't expect to see the same drinks. Don't forget to check in on Yelp and get a free salsa (two of the four are pretty spicy, but delish). We also got the short rib & fish tacos- both of which we would recommend. Three tacos is a lot because they're really packed full with meat. read more

Anejo - Fish & short rib tacos - Mexican Near Me - New York, New York

Pretty decent spot for bottomless brunch! Came here for a friends birthday and we were promptly sat down and told that our 1.5 bottomless hour started now but the server didn't take our order which was a bit odd and stressful. Then the mimosas started rolling in and I was pleased with the speed, but they were strict that you could only have 1 drink at a time. The French toast that came included with bottomless was very tasty and decadent. The guac and chips were great too! Plenty of starter food. There are only 3 entree choices so I went with huevos rancheros, made dairy-free upon request. The portion was a little underwhelming since there was only 1 egg, but there was so much food before that I didn't mind. It was pretty good. They were good about my friend's birthday, singing and giving her a sparkler. Overall, the place is cute and serviced warmed up by the end, so it ended up redeeming itself despite being a little pricey. read more

Everything from the friendly hostesses to our AMAZING server Kevin was spectacular. The food was amazing and Kevin really hooked it up when it came to advice on what was good. Honestly can't wait to go back next time Im in the city. read more

I can see how this place could be loud, crowded and service compromised. It's a bit of a scene. But there are reasons for that. Namely: - Unlimited guacamole for $5 and the quac rocked! Fresh and tasty. An unreal deal. - Outstanding tacos. We had the short rib, lamb and duck tacos and they were uniformly excellent. - A large bar with affordable drinks. - An ambitious menu with a kitchen that clearly know what it is doing. So these owners/managers have built up a sizeable and loyal clientele. That's why its busy. If you can put up with the noise and crowds, definitely check it out. read more

I've been coming here since it opened up years ago but I can say that food is now lacking, I ordered the nachos, they were bland, I had to add salt to them! I also ordered pork with yucca fries they were also bland! No seasoning and they were suppose to come with mayo had like 1/2 teaspoon, the margaritas are good and strong but the food there is no bueno! Those were the days! I still love the small location and locals or after work. read more

Wow! What an amazing meal. I wish I had eaten more but my friend was full. We split four items and like I said I wish it had been more. First off we got the octopus tostada (Taro root, chipotle-garlic butter, pickled onions). This came with five little bite-sized tostadas. The octopus was cooked wonderfully and melted in your mouth. And the sauces were great but not too much that allowed for the tostada to stay crisp. From there we got our tacos. We split the cauliflower tacos (Pineapple-arbol glaze, snap peas, pea shoots) and the shrimp tacos(Crispy Gulf shrimp, guacamole, pico de gallo, chipotle crema, cotija). The cauliflower taco was unbelievable. It was the perfect amount of fried crispiness without being overly doughy. And the pineapple sauce had a at first bite almost an Indian flavor but it had a really nice kick to it. And the shrimp tacos were wonderful I had a surprise layer of guac at the bottom (I know it's on the menu description but I missed it). and again the seasoning with the Chipotle was wonderful in the shrimp was cooked wonderfully. And then to top it all off we got the Wild Mushroom Queso Fundido (Wilted spinach, garlic confit, pico de gallo). This was not what I expected at all but was so good. they brought you out for small tortillas and you kind of built your own. It comes out in a cast iron and you see the mushrooms, the chopped vegetables, two different types of peppers, and some shredded cheese. and I was like wow this looks great not what I was expecting but looks great. But then I went to go scoop out some of it and I realized there is a layer of queso underneath it! It was so good and I wish I had tried one of the other ones. I definitely cannot wait to come back but I do recommend you check in on Yelp early. The reason I say that is you get free salsa if you do that and I didn't find out until after I left. definitely would recommend this place, and it looks like they had some pretty good cocktails too. great service, great atmosphere, and an overall good time. . read more

Great brunch great drinks great service great food !!! Surprise surprise surprise not reservation not problem.

They were not offering bottomless which was the main reasoning we chose this place. Tacos and salads were definitely good but the check was incorrect when we reviewed it (they fixed it upon us noticing but just double check- could've been an easy mistake). The firing squad drink was awesome and we were impressed with the size of their tequila shots read more
