    Tableside Guacamole
    Lilly A.

    Avocado Toast 7/10 Papas Bravas Vegan 4/10 Chicken and Waffles 8/10 Breakfast Quesadillas - 6/10 & 9/10 rating from two different perspectives: potatoes came out cold so the manger brought out a fresh side order of them. Had a sweet taste to them so still not really my preference. Quesadillas are bacon scrambled eggs and cheeses. They were tasty and enjoyable although I wish it had more meat in it. Mimosas 10/10 Recommend. You have the option of orange, pineapple or cranberry. It's $10 for initial glass then it's penny refills. Chef's kiss.

    Fajita Nachos these ALWAYS hit!!

    Much like the storm is named for, Cyclone Anayas NEVER misses. A friend told me to pick the spot I wanted to be taken to lunch to I said this INSTANTLY. No question. I had the fajitas because I literally cannot bring myself to order anything else from the menu, which I'm SURE is all delicious- I haven't ever graduated from it. I DID get the Brussels sprouts that were AMAZING and I had a watermelon margarita with tajin rim- YESSSSLAWD! You can't make me say anything bad about the food, the place or the service- I wish it was closer to me, but we can't have everything can we? Lol Alright, let's wrap this up like I wrapped the beef fajita meat and onions and guacamole and Pico in that perfect flour tortilla...... #2025BIGBACKAPPROVED!!!

    Came here with four friends for a Sunday lunch, and even though it wasn't busy, the service was slow and a bit scattered. Our server was swapped without explanation. We took a little time deciding what to order because the menu was huge, and I wasn't expecting a brunch section with that many options. But once we ordered, things got confusing. We asked for shrimp quesadillas multiple times, but beef ones came out instead. We were too hungry to send them back, and thankfully the portion was generous enough to share. The ceviche with lump crab was way too acidic and didn't have much flavor, but everyone who ordered the chicken and waffles really liked their meal. I got the salmon, which came with three large shrimp, glazed Brussels sprouts, and Cajun spinach. The sprouts were solid, the spinach was sautéed but not really flavorful, and the salmon was cooked to the perfect level of juiciness, though overall the glaze tasted salty. Our server did tell us about the 99¢ brunch mimosas. They weren't listed anywhere on the menu, so I was glad she mentioned it. I'll probably come back just for that deal, especially on another slow Sunday with friends. All in all, it was A-ok, but what dampened it most was the inattentiveness of our waitress. I could better understand if the place was busy. My friend's sangria sat at the bar for a while, and we had to keep asking for basic things like water refills, our checks and to go boxes. For a slow Sunday, I expected better.

    I really enjoyed Anayas. The sever was excellent - prompt, attentive, and friendly. We started with their tortilla chips (light and crisp) and salsa which tasted really fresh. And we added a generous cup of queso. I also had the ceviche which was outstanding with fish, shrimp, and scallops in lime juice with just the right amount of red onion and cilantro. For the main course I had beef tacos al carbon and my wife had chicken fajitas al carbon which were both very good. The restaurant is nicely, if simply, decorated. The seating was clean and comfortable. Overall, definitely recommend.

    Summer special (Cyclone's combinations)

    Took a chance & came to see what this place is like and I must say it was sooo delicious! Our server Jazz helped us with the menu since it was our first visit. We ordered fresh guacamole which was so good as she prepared it at our table. It was soo yummy! The bottomless chips made it too easy to enjoy the salsa, queso & guacamole! I ordered the Cyclone combo Summer special that was very tasty and filling. My other family member ordered cyclone tacos. Each dish so full of flavor and fresh. Was too full for dessert but my husband had the flan-OMG! The flan was a mix of coconut & caramel custard. Soo delicious! Worth every bite and the service was great!! Service, Food & the ambiance was perfect for our evening dinner. Thanks Jazz for your excellent service!

    Okay so the fish tacos were pretty good but i feel like they were missing some flavor from the fish and batter itself. Most of the flavor came from the veggies on top so I had to put some cilantro lime sauce on top which made them good. The salsa that came with the chips were really good smoky kinda spicy and chunky. The tacos also carbon my boyfriend got were very greasy, but the meat was pretty dry, had no flavor. The rice was not fully cooked was still hard and they came out cold. The spinach that came with my dish I initially thought were good but after a few bites found it to be very salty. Now the bolillos were good kinda reminded me on beignets lmao. And the drinks were good nothing too special. But the decide was good our server was attentive and friendly but personally don't think we would come back.

    We had a pretty large group get together, in the middle of a rain storm no less, and this restaurant handled it swimmingly. There were winds and a brief power outage and as mentioned, rain, but through it all the service was impeccable. The space was large and tastefully decorated, with a bar area and a main dining area. There was also a glass barrier behind which the kitchen was visible. For a place that was so busy, the service was extremely fast and caring. Our server was extremely attentive and amiable and we never had an empty glass at any moment. If we needed something, someone was alway ready to help. And the food. It was amazinggggg! I have been in search of perfect empanadas for a long while- and these were pretty darn close! The chicken empanadas (listed as a starter, but substantial enough to make a main dish) had a golden crispy shell and a luscious rich filling. The echilada combo plate was also very tasty, the cheesy sauces complementing the stronger meat flavors. The meal was perfectly ended with the tres leches slice (which was complementary for the birthday celebration). Definitely a new favorite spot!

    Guacamole from the happy hour menu which happy hour is til 7 which is very much unheard of.

    Impressed as soon as I stepped closer to door and a staff member opened it for us and greeted us with a smile. The service was phenomenal and it was obvious the staff genuinely enjoyed their job and took pride in it. Food was 10/10 from the presentation to the last bite. Ambience was truly appreciated and enjoyed seeing managers interact with EVERYONE!

    Came here to hang with family! Service was excellent and food was great. I think the server replaced our chips like 4 times! The food was good as well, I got the quesadillas pictured! Definitely would recommend coming!

    Walking into the place.The décor lighting is very warm.I see space for big parties and small parties.There's bar availability.They also have half booths.Looks like they have a private party area.The open kitchen , you can see the kitchen and they recommend the salmon. Order , it took me about three minutes to get help on my door dash , and then she went to go grab it

    If you're looking for a cool, vibey spot to grab happy hour, Cyclone is a great option. My neighbors and I stopped by for happy hour when Cyclone first opened, and another time for lunch and both experiences were a 3.5/4 star experience. Both times we went, I got tableside guacamole & chips, and veggie fajita platter. Both servings were quite large so you'll be well fed if you get both. I don't drink so I can't comment on the drinks but they have some great happy hour deals and my friends raved about the margaritas. I also enjoyed their outside patio area as it made the experience cozy. The service both times was impeccable so the staff surely goes above and beyond for patrons.

    Steaming family fajita platter !
    Just A G.

    Took my nephew to cyclone anayas for his 14 th bday. There were 7 of us and everyone loved the food! We ordered the huge family platter fajitas - LOBSTER/ shrimp/ chicken/ beef/ spicy pork sausage all on the platter cooked to perfection ( maybe the lobster was over cooked but still delicious.) Mike was our waiter he was great and he suggested the family platter & I have to say it was definitely the most economical choice for the table! The queso and guacamole delicious and the tres leches was decadent! Thank u cyclone for making my nephews bday dinner so enjoyable!

    Dried up tortilla/corn, hard as a rock. Had to heat up my diced up kids meat separately
    Alex W.

    Ordered to go from this place and it was the ABSOLUTE WORSE! Never again. I had ordered the combo fajitas to go, paid an extra $4 to make it mix combo of chicken and beef, and asked for tortilla and corn. When I received my order and opened the container, my corn/tortilla was already wrapped, and all the meat was diced. How in the world am I supposed to eat fajitas with diced meat when clearly I was supposed to receive strips of meat? This looks like a kids plate, meat was barely there for what I paid for, this was about $35 already. This is so laughable. The tortilla and corn was all dried up like a rock. Normally you should place tortillas rolled up in a foil. Never again shall I order to go, this restaurant CHEAPS you out on everything. Chipotle would've been better

Parking can be challenging on weekends, but there is complimentary valet and a few extra spots in a lot across the street. There's interior and exterior seating, with cozy booths and tables. Service is friendly. Chips and salsa: Superica has some of my favorite chips, crispy and thin and perfectly fried. The avocado crema salsa and warm serrano pepper salsas are delicious with a mild kick. The bottled red salsa is fresh and green salsa packs a nice punch. Migas: Scrambled eggs with tortilla chips and cheese, choice of chicken versus chorizo on top, finished with fresh avocado. I really enjoyed this combination and the generous portion for the price. The eggs are well scrambled without being dry, and the pairing with cheese is proportional. The chicken was a touch dry, but some salsa solved that well. I enjoyed stuffing each component into a fresh tortilla and devouring it as a breakfast taco. Refried beans and rice: Really delicious. The refried beans are of the smoother variety without as much chunkiness, which I prefer, and topped with creamy cheese. I could have used a touch more tomato in the rice, but overall enjoyed the texture and flavor. Patatas with salsa roja, topped with egg: I enjoyed the flavors in this dish, but there was sooo much salsa. The potatoes were thus a little soggy, though still cooked well. The over medium egg was cooked nicely and complemented the potatoes with creamy yolk. Bacon: Really generous portion for $7 as a side, and cooked well. Crispy potatoes: I enjoy that these are fingerling potatoes smashed and roasted, but they could be crispier. They seem to be on the blander side on purpose to allow seasoning to taste, and I really like pairing them with the red bottled salsa provided at each table (probably due to their association with ketchup). Hotcakes: The literal star of every brunch, these hotcakes are consistently delicious. They're massive yet somehow cooked perfectly through so that they're fluffy and soft on the inside and just with a slight crunch on the outside. The pairing of the creamy warm (!!!) maple syrup is heavenly. Because of how huge these are, usually one is enough to share between two people, although they also come in stacks of two and three. For reference, we finished 3/4 of three between four healthy and hungry people and it wasn't for lack of trying. Whenever I crave weekend brunch, Superica is always a top option.
