    Anejo at the Shops at Don Mills is a trendy place to come for fun vibe. The place is nicely decorated especially in the patio. Everyday happy hour 3-5pm or 10pm-close gets you $4 Classic tacos, 50% off tequila, $7 beers and $7.5 Margaritas. The service is prompt and everyone is friendly and helpful. At least 3 servers reminded us about happy hour. Food is delicious and meat tender. Definitely coming back for my taco fix.

    Had a great experience at Añejo Restaurant. The food was flavorful and well-prepared, with lots of tasty options to choose from. The portions were decent and left us satisfied without feeling overly heavy.

    A set of three tacos was the perfect portion size for one person! Service was great! They were great with accommodating food allergens.

    Tacos will always be my favourite food so I am always on the hunt to find the best places. One of my favourite spots to go in the city is Anejo, especially the location at Shops at Donmills. Yes you must always make a reservation before going, because they are always packed! The ambiance and service here is always stellar regardless of how packed it is. The music can be quite loud and with the amount of people inside as well, it can be difficult hearing your people at your table. Now for the food itself, the tacos always hit here! Probably one of my favourite places to go just to get guac & chips which they make right at your table so you know it's fresh! I love coming here for happy hour because the tacos are $3 each. My favourites are always the Fish and the Carnitas taco. The Birria Tacos are also so delicious here! Will always be my go to for mexican food and definitely recommend! 9/10 recommend!

    . higher expectations . no "wow" item, feels like we've had better elsewhere for a fraction of the price . guac is salty . tacos feel like missing something, super plain but meat filled . coconuts shrimp's missing flavour and small serving size for the price . heard good reviews about this place but mildly let down/ disappointed . the ambiance is okay, nice workers-- fast service

    If you're going to start with chips and dip, I'd recommend the house salsa tasting ($16) over the tableside guacamole. Firstly, it includes more than just salsa, containing a small portion of guacamole and salty silky refried black beans, which is a great way to get a taste of everything. Of course, there's also three salsas ranging from a mild pico de gallo, a medium salsa roja, to the spiciest salsa verde. They're all lovely and fresh with the only drawback being the lopsided chip to dip ratio. So, if you're visiting during lunch, you should consider the speedy Gonzales lunch special ($16) along with the starter. Offered from 11am to 3pm daily, half the plate is filled with tortilla chips... more than enough to finish off the salsa. With a choice of two classic tacos and a decent portion of guacamole, it's a satisfying combination that kept me filled until dinner. The tacos are bland on their own but come with a crate of sauces for diners to customize to their own tastes. The garlic mayonnaise goes well with the crispy fish taco, especially topped with pico de gallo and salsa roja to help cut through the oiliness of the over-battered fish. Meanwhile, all the hot sauces seemed to pair nicely with the braised beef taco. My favourite combination was with the spicier sauces as they held up against the beef, while the pickled radish helped to calm down the heat. And what's an amazing patio without a relaxing and friendly vibe? Since Añejo wasn't packed, they also allowed us to sit around and graze through the chips and dip. It an establishment for those who want to chat and catch up over a leisurely long lunch.

    I came for happy hour tacos and it was amazing. I ordered 8 tacos for myself and I still couldn't get enough. The meats were juicy and flavourful with a nice soft tortilla. The sauces that came with paired very nicely. I loved trying the different hot sauces. Service was good, our waiter was very nice and the food came fairly quick. When I went I was seated in a heated patio and it was a very nice area with its own bar close by. Overall, this is a nice place for some tacos and drinks during happy hour.

    Decided to give this place a try and it definitely exceeded expectations. The food was absolutely delicious, and even though we just had beer, the drinks were great too. We were seated at the patio bar since they required reservations, which we didn't have. That was fine, but we noticed about 50% of the place was empty, so it was a bit odd they didn't offer indoor seating (we were there for hours). Also, the bartender seemed a bit cold toward us while being friendlier to others sitting nearby. Aside from that, the vibe was excellent and everything else made up for those small things.

    Came on a Saturday night for dinner without reservations, and were told we needed to wait even though there were multiple empty tables available. We were happy to wait, but after 30 minutes we still had not gotten a call so we asked again, and was seated right away at one of the empty tables all along. Slightly frustrating. Once we were seated, the service was good, however, the food was very mixed. We got three tacos and a Molcajete de Carne. The three tacos were dismal, as they were bone dry, lacking flavor, and overall very disappointing. I don't even know how they served such bad tacos and are getting away with it. The Molcajete was on the other side of the spectrum. It was swimming in a delicious sauce, full of meats and topped with cheese. At the end of the day, I would not come back so giving it two stars.

    I love Mexican food, specially Tacos and I love margaritas. And Anejo offers both in a high quality and a nice atmosphere. We reserved a table on the patio (covered during winter) and were seated at no time upon arrival. The staff are very friendly. The service is great and we received information on specials and recommendations for our order. We ordered "Guacamole", and tacos. Guacamole is fresh and made at your table; it's always nice to watch food preparation. The food was fresh and tasty and we enjoyed the both the vibe and our food.

    Service was good and fast We had fish taco that was super bland, absolutely no spice , not even salt! The other dish with shrimp was not bad The Ambiance was good Over all if I want Mexican food, i would not come back here.

    I love Mexican food. Anejo has a downtown location but this one is close to my grandparents house. Ambiance: Cool vibe, great for drinks, appetizers and dinner. Very chill. Service: It was great, server was attentive and helpful. Food: Love their tacos! We got the pork carnitas, beef and fish tacos! Highly recommend this restaurant

    Came for happy hour (3-5 pm) for the half prices tacos. The inside is dark, but spacious. Nice decorated with ample seating and lots of walking room. There is also a super long bar stocked with lots of different tequilas. Had all the tacos on their happy hour but I like the fish tacos the most.

    The food was awful. I ordered the vegetarian enchiladas, and I've never had enchiladas served with…read moreraw zucchini and carrots. On top of that, the entire meal arrived cold. It got worse. When I went to the basement washroom, I swear I saw what looked like the end of a mouse's tail sticking out from under the door. Needless to say, I completely lost my appetite. When the waiter asked how everything was, I told him honestly that it was terrible. I had only taken two bites, and there was really no response. I wouldn't have wanted a replacement anyway after that experience. I also had some fruit bites, and about 10 minutes later my stomach started gurgling. By the time I got home, I felt awful. I was shivering, felt like I was going to throw up, and had to rush to the bathroom. It honestly felt like food poisoning. And I still paid for my meal Unfortunately, I can't recommend this place.

The place is a bit small so it can be a bit tight so I would highly recommend having reservations if you have a large group. Tacos: The soft and the crispy tacos were both delicious. The tinga chicken and the beef barbacoa were juicy and full of flavour. The portions was fair, the quality was a standout and tasted quite authentic. Overall, I really had a great experience at Playa Cabana, totally would come here again to try out their other dishes.

We opted for…read morethe tasting menu, and every course showcased incredible technique while allowing the ingredients to shine. The bluefin tuna was pristine, buttery, and incredibly fresh, while the char-grilled octopus was perfectly tender with a beautiful smoky depth of flavor. The ensalada verde was bright, crisp, and refreshing, offering a perfect contrast between courses. The standout for me was the hanger steak, cooked beautifully and paired with a rich peppercorn sauce that elevated every bite. Beyond the outstanding food, the service was impeccable--attentive, knowledgeable, and perfectly paced without ever feeling intrusive. Quetzal is a Michelin star experience that lives up to the acclaim, delivering bold flavors, refined execution, and genuine hospitality.

We got lucky and they were able to squeeze us into seats at the bar area, which ended up being the best possible spot because we had a front-row view of the live fire cooking the entire night. The ambiance was lively and hip, with a great energy that made the whole experience feel exciting. This was my first time watching each main courses get cooked over live fire in real time, which added to our amazement given that all the dishes came out cooked to the right doneness. Every bite of meat and seafood was perfectly kissed with flame -- the char, the subtle smoke, the texture. Beyond the fire element, you can really taste how fresh everything is. Nothing felt heavy or muddled. Each dish was well thought out with balanced flavors, but the ingredients and that fire/smoke magic were always the main event. Service was also superb. All the staff were attentive and high-energy. Different servers checked up on us throughout the meal, our water was always kept full, and dishes were cleared in a timely manner. Only drawback: the heat. Sitting by the fire is incredible for the show, but it definitely started to feel like a sauna at times. Still, I'd do it again and choose to sit at the bar without hesitation. If you're in Toronto and you love a tasting menu, this is a must. Just make sure you book at least a month in advance - it's popular for a reason.
