    I had been wanting to try this spot for awhile and was thrilled to make it on a taco Tuesday! It felt right. They have some incredible specials during the week, esp taco Tuesday. It was pretty crowded but our large party was able to be seated fairly quickly. The service was immediately amazing from the hostess to the servers and runners. Everyone was knowledgeable and warm. And the food! Most of us had tacos, and a wide variety. I kept it basic with just the chicken, onions, cilantro. Everything tasted fresh. Our whole party enjoyed all the food, drinks, and service. I will 100% be returning. Particularly when I am prepared with a huge appetite so I can take on more tacos! It is fairly loud in there with such a big crowd. Not much insulation. It was fine for us but something to be aware of if you're looking for a place to be super conversational

    The decor was vibrant with all of the colors and paintings. The bar is beautiful with the bottle of tequila's and there were mini Christmas trees hanging from the ceilings. We went on taco Tuesday and they had taco deals and house margaritas on sale. I had one surf and turf, one siracha shrimp, and one quesa Birria taco and they were all so good. I also had a frozen house margarita and you taste the liquor and it was delicious. The tacos were filling and everything was so good. I would highly recommend and I would go back.

    Stopped in for a few drinks and some chips & queso for a friend's birthday. Sat at the bar since we weren't having a full meal. Service was quick, bartender was friendly. The watermelon margarita was really good and refreshing. I had her make mine a little spicier than the one on the menu. The vibe inside is great- decor is festive. Have been here a few times and have always had fun. The birthday boy gave the queso a 12/10 :)

    We had never been to La Catrina but had been to the plaza it's in before which we like. We came in on Taco Tuesday and I love that they do specials for it. All tacos are $3.49 and let me tell you they have a lot of options. They also have daily specials everyday of the week as well which is great. Once seated we were quickly brought out chips and salsa and since we had a party of 7 they brough out 3 of each which was great. They even brought us out some spicy salsa when we asked. We of course had to get Queso and Guacamole as well. The Queso was good your typical white queso. The guacamole was a little bland were through and could have been better seasoned. They do have a bunch of hot sauce options on the table so we did add some of that to it which helped. Since it was Taco Tuesday I had to go with a few tacos. I originally was going to go with 5 but after the amount of chips, salsa, queso, and guacamole Ashley talked me down to 4 which for sure was the right move. I went with the Pastor, Chicharron, (both Street Tacos), The Surf and Turf and the Jaguar. All of them were good but I think my 2 favorite with the Jaguar which had a nice large piece of fried fish and a lot of flavor going on thanks to the Mango Habanero Salsa, and the Surf and Turf. The Chicharron Street Taco was a little different then I expected since I though it would be crispier where it was more on the fatter texture side but still good flavor. With all the special they have going on I for sure see us coming back sometime.

    This is a fantastic Mexican restaurant! There are so many great qualities that I can't list them all. But the only thing that is a con is the parking. The rewards for non peak times is no problems with parking and happy hour/meal specials

    ¡Era delicioso! Everything was delicious! I will be making the 20min drive to enjoy the food from La Catrina Tacos & Tequila bar again. From the food to the ambiance, you are going to enjoy yourself while you're here. I have had their birria tacos, tacos Al pastor, and their elote with no desire to change anything. My favorite sauce is the salsa verde picante (if you love habañero peppers, you'll love this salsa!) Their outside patio is beautiful and not over crowded with chairs/tables. My go to spot when I want to enjoy authentic Mexican food and a chill ambiance

    We came by on a week night for some tacos and were delighted by the great deals they had here! I ordered two tacos the Mr. Papa and the Siracha Shrimp. Both tacos were good but the Siracha Shrimp was my favorite of the two. We also ordered guacamole and queso, I loved the queso but the guacamole was very bland. There were several parties celebrating and lots of fun ways we saw the staff celebrating them! I would definitely recommend for big groups and anyone looking for a good deal on some tasty tacos!

    Stopped in a couple weeks ago on a Friday night to enjoy cocktails. Sat at the bar and Abby our bartender made us some delicious drinks. She was friendly and attentive. This is my first time at the bar. I usually go to a table and eat. The atmosphere was fun. There was a live band playing outside. Definitely a fun place to go in our neighborhood with delicious food and drink options.

    Amazing vibe

    This is such an awesome spot! Highly recommend based off the amazing drinks, food and atmosphere! Came on a Saturday night and it was quite busy but our waiter was very attentive to us and made the experience great! From the queso con chorizo (which may be in the top 2 queso's I have ever had) to the cucumber margarita, everything was spot on and super enjoyable!

I got here as they opened on Sunday, and it got packed relatively quickly. I'd recommend having a reservation if you're planning to visit during busier timeframes like this. I was seated promptly by attentive staff, and quickly had both food and drink menus to begin ordering. I was looking for something tasty without being too heavy, and settled on the Little Hans Vienna Lager along with the 8 oz steak burger and fries. The beer had amazing flavor similar to Devil's Backbone Vienna Lager with a good, crisp finish. The burger meal, described with "Tillamook cheddar cheese, caramelized onion & bacon jam, beef fat aioli, grilled potato roll, truffle fries", was arguablely the best burger and fries I've ever had in my life. Everything tasted fresh, and the flavor of the wood-fired grill certainly complemented the meat. The house-made pickles were a great touch to add another layer of complexity to the burger. I could tell the fries were fresh cut and never frozen. The truffle oil made these even more amazing. The manager offered and brought a special sauce to try that they normally serve with their chicken chicken sandwich that was superbly tasty and tangy. More than impressed with my entree, I elected to try a desert and was recommended the S'mores pie by my waitress. The deliciously buttery crust was my favorite part of the ensemble and blended well with the savory chocolate filling topped with a toasted marshmallow. While a bit pricey for lunch compared to most places, I was more than satisfied with the offerings provided here and would love to visit Ember and Iron again. Give my number one choice of 2026 thus far some love!

    There are certain moments during a meal when you taste something and immediately have to stop and…read moreask, "What did the chef do differently here?" That happened to us at Al Dente's in St. Johns when we tasted the sauce accompanying their short ribs. We have eaten at Al Dente's many times, so we weren't discovering the restaurant for the first time. It has already earned a place among our favorite local restaurants. But on this visit, we came in for a full Culinary Duo review, and the kitchen prepared a tasting that went well beyond what we expected. And somehow, a restaurant we already knew managed to surprise us all over again. We started with the calamari, which is noticeably different from the traditional calamari plate. Al Dente's uses the prime rings without the tentacles, then sautés them with sliced peppers. The result is tender, flavorful calamari with a cleaner and more consistent bite from beginning to end. We were told that when the calamari is featured during happy hour, it can sell out. After tasting it, we understand why. The quality of the calamari and the simplicity of the preparation allow the seafood to remain the focus of the dish. It impressed us enough to earn one of our Culinary Duo Best of the Best Dish Awards. The gnocchi is another longtime favorite and Best of the Best winner. Al Dente's sautés it and finishes it with a white wine bath, creating the texture that has kept us coming back for it over the years. It is a great example of how a little extra technique can make a familiar Italian dish memorable. Then came the dish that may have surprised us the most, the short ribs. We will admit that short ribs are not normally something we get particularly excited about. Too often, the meat is served with too little sauce, leaving you wishing there was something more to bring the entire plate together. Al Dente's completely changed that for us. The beef was exceptionally tender and practically fell apart. But it was the sauce that immediately caught our attention. It had a wonderful subtle sweetness that was different enough that we had to ask what the kitchen was doing. The answer was port. Using port gives the mushroom sauce a slightly sweeter, richer character that works beautifully with the beef. Add decadent mashed potatoes loaded with butter, garlic, and herbs, and you have the kind of comfort food that makes you want to slow down and enjoy every bite. Sautéed zucchini and yellow squash added freshness and helped balance the richness of the plate. The short ribs became our third Best of the Best selection from Al Dente's. Next came the salmon with lobster ravioli, and this was another example of the kitchen going beyond what was necessary. The salmon was a substantial, thick cut, beautifully cooked, moist, and wonderfully tender. It was paired with lobster ravioli and a wine sauce, which would have made a very good dish by itself. But they didn't stop there. They added actual chunks of lobster claw meat over the salmon and ravioli. We love that. If you are going to serve lobster ravioli, there is something special about seeing and tasting real pieces of lobster on the plate as well. It reinforces the featured ingredient and turns what could have been a familiar seafood pasta combination into something much more memorable. The beef tenderloin medallions followed, accompanied by seasonal vegetables and a white truffle mushroom risotto that deserves almost as much attention as the beef. The risotto combined mushrooms, cream, Parmesan, truffles, and white truffle oil, creating a rich, earthy flavor that complemented the tenderloin beautifully. Risotto can easily become an obligatory side dish, but this one was clearly treated as an important part of the plate. Creamy, savory, and full of truffle character, it was an excellent partner for the medallions. One thing we particularly enjoy about Al Dente's is that the tenderloin is offered as a nightly special and the preparation can change. Guests may encounter different interpretations, including Gorgonzola, Marsala, or au poivre. For regular diners like us, that flexibility makes returning a little more interesting because there can always be something different coming out of the kitchen. By this point, we thought the meal was finished. Then the chef surprised us with a Dubai chocolate pistachio tart. It arrived beautifully plated with chocolate drizzle and whipped cream. This is definitely a dessert for anyone who loves rich flavors. A few bites were enough for us because it was incredibly decadent, but the combination of pistachio and dark chocolate was fantastic. It was a fitting ending to an impressive tasting. What stayed with us most about this visit was not simply one great plate. It was the consistency across the entire meal. The calamari showed how ingredient selection can change a familiar appetizer. The gnocchi demonstrated technique. The short ribs showed how one thoughtful change to a sauce can comp

After living in both Texas…read moreand New Mexico (both of which have slightly different Mexican food), you get a "flavor" you desire when you eat Mexican food "anywhere". Some would argue that it all tastes the same, but to me, it doesn't. Honestly, I think all Mexican food tastes better in any Southwest state/area. But here on the East Coast, you have places that are pretty spot on and close. We have tried our fair share of restaurants, and not all "rice and beans" (for lack of a better term) are equal. Anejo Cocina fits the bill of being pretty darn good, a step above, and the flavors are "there". Always start off with embracing the chips and salsa. They offer them to you; take them...enjoy them!. The chips and salsa always set the stage as to what type of meal awaits. I am happy to report the Chips & Salsa are absolutely delicious here. Moreover, if you're feeling froggy, they have a tad spicier habanero salsa to offer upon request. We have eaten our way around the menu, but I must say, my favorite is always the Chili Relleno. It is always cooked to perfection, and they use the correct cheese. Any meat item you order will be enjoyable; the seasoning is perfect! They have a full bar and happy hour. I'd like to mention they offer pitchers of beer here, which seems to be hard to find these past few years. There is a large parking lot shared by other strip mall businesses; however, there is more than ample parking. It is easy to find and to get in and out of. There is indoor and outdoor seating. The service is always top-notch, and the prices and portions are fair. Anejo Cocina always offers a very inviting atmosphere, and the Mexican Décor is pretty cool.

I liked it a lot but didn't even come close to finishing it on account of the huge-ness. Lauren had the Chicken Chimichanga with shredded chicken.
