Really great traditional Mexican food, especially for dine-in (that's a hard combination to find). Inside is nice and new, very clean and the staff is always really friendly! read more

Love Anaya's. Their salsa is great. I always get a ground beef taco, rice and beans. Always delicious. And their service is fantastic. I went to the one in Tempe this time as I was in the area. When I am in Casa Grande for biz it's my lunch go to. read more

Wanted to try a new place. Found them on Yelp. When we entered they they were very friendly. We were seated right away. The chips and salsa were good. We ordered a cheese crisp. It was crispy and good. All our meals were very good and the waitress was attentive. The guy at the front checked on us also went out of his way to help us. Liked the atmosphere. Family friendly. Would highly recommend. We will return. read more

The food is amazing! I have lived in AZ my whole life (60+ yrs) and have had the opportunity to eat Mexican food because of that. This is my all time favorite Mexican food place to eat. Everything is fresh, tasty and has the authentic taste of fine dining. The service is the best! Friendly staff that work well together and put their customers first. The atmosphere is fun and uplifting. Colorful and artful. Prices are reasonable and fair and drinks are incredible. The Tempe Anayas has my patronage for life and I recommend it to all! read more

We went here last night for the first time and the food was wonderful. Not only that the service was great also. We will be back many more times. read more

I've been looking for a great go-to Mexican food spot after some failed attempts, and I think I found it with Anayas! I ordered food to go for myself and several members of my family. I had the Tacos Mexico with pastor meat and it was delicious! Very flavorful and just the right portion with rice and beans on the side. Family members had meals ranging from Arroz con Pollo, Chicken Fajitas, Steak Fajitas, and a Carne Asada Plate; each one loved their choices as well! We also had the queso dip to share which was delicious, very creamy and a generous portion. The chips were crispy and the salsa packed an extra punch (in a good way). Lastly, the takeout service was excellent with the food being ready on time and with friendly, professional staff. I would highly recommend Anayas! read more

Cute Mexican spot in Central tempe. The original margarita was delicious and authentic. The burrito loco with Carne asada was a medium portion, but very high quality. Relatively affordable given today's restaurant prices as well. read more

Great food and great service. I highly recommend this restaurant I support your local business.

The food is pretty good, but the service was lacking. We ordered house margaritas on the rocks during happy hour. When we got the bill, they were not happy hour pricing because we ordered the "regular ones." Beware, if you do not specify happy hour margaritas, they will not question you and give you the full price margaritas. We really felt ripped off. read more

We had the fajita burrito, arizona chimi, and a shrimp cocktail. Both the burrito and chimi were decent but definitely nothing to rave about. I took 1 star off because the cocktail was supposed to have octopus and we paid for it but there was none. Unfortunately we didn't know until we were already home, but it was cinco de mayo during a pandemic so not worth going back to complain. I will probably try this place one more time before writing the place off altogether since it is so close to home. read more

We had a family birthday party and had Anaya's prepare the meal. They did a fantastic job and the food was hot and delicious. We ate outside with 9 people and each person ordered their choice of a combo meal. Each meal was marked by person and everything was exactly as ordered. Each individual meal was in its own container with napkins and utensils. They added a bag of chips and a bottle of salsa. Easiest family get together we've had. read more

This is best Mexican restaurant in the state! The service is amazing and the food is plentiful and delicious. The owners are amazing and make you feel like family. read more

Amazing margaritas and tacos. Staff did an amazing job. Very friendly. It was very busy but they kept it moving. read more

Anayas - Original Margarita - Mexican Near Me - Tempe, Arizona

Restaurant was very clean with a fun festive decor and nice quiet laid back vibe. The service could not have been more attentive and helpful. And the food LOOKED great too, very well presented. Maybe I ordered the wrong thing, but it just didn't taste so great to me. Now, in fairness, I did not complain or ask for something else (which I bet they would have been happy to do). I was very hungry and ate my whole fajita style chicken burrito, but there was something second rate about the food quality. They do try very hard to please here, so I will go back and order some different things next time. read more

After having a bad experience at one restaurant and really wanting tacos, I decided I'd try another local spot that I'd never visited. Soggy tacos, the shell fell apart immediately so I just had a pile of meat and cheese. Beans and rice, flavorless. I guess they're aren't any good tacos in my area. I'll just make my own. Where's the cilantro, where's the salsa, where's the damn flavor?!? Both places sell tacos like they're making them for hospital patients with restricted diets. No more wasting my money. Chipotle would've been better, but I wanted "authentic" read more

Came here for the first time tonight because we saw it on the way home. We were pleasantly greeted walking through the door by a super nice host and were sat immediately at a seat of our choosing (my boyfriend wanted to see the tvs in the bar area). Our server greeted us quickly and cheerfully. We received our drinks along with chips and amazing salsa. Our food came out so fast and was very hot and fresh. We will definitely be coming here again. Thank you! read more

The tacos on Tuesday's are only $1.50 and are delicious! The service is also great! We'll definitely be going back!

Food was absolutely disgusting. We ordered in from Door Dash going off reviews from a neighborhood app. Shrimp enchiladas were disgusting...brown inside-and the sauce was horrible. Seafood chimi was horrible and slimy. Shrimp taco salad had four shrimp and the size of a dime. Regular taco was a regular Ortega taco shell..burrito was tiny..quesadilla was mediocre. Combinations had two tablespoons of beans, rice was bland. Chips were stale and greasy. Will never ever eat there again. The only people that they should serve this food is people with COVID and can't taste it. read more

Been for taco Tuesday a few times now. Tacos a bit greasy but super tasty, Chips and salsa are very good. Other menu items have also been very good. Consistently good service as well. read more

Cinco gritos por su menudo absolutamente delicioso with a perfect bite on the tongue so just right! Abundant quantity for two on take out can't say no one wasn't wiping their bowls out with tortillas that accompany. I'm looking forward to trying their pozole and other menu items caution their salsa pica which I loved next time I go I going yo get a take of it. The atmosphere is simpatico so cultural the bar is intimate and the variety of tequila drinks endless. Keep the soups and salsa hot I'll be returning soon. read more

Great food, beautiful presentation. Courteous staff and reasonable prices. Highly recommend.

Simple but amazing quality. The service is so nice. Margaritas are sooo good. Just a great place to go on a random day.

Finally we've found a local Mexican food restaurant with great food! The service is a team effort in this cozy little place and after just a few visits, they acted like we were old friends. Limitless chips and salsa (2 kinds). Get there before 6 and have margaritas for $5! The shredded beef in any dish is flavorful, plentiful and tender. Camerones Anayas is bacon wrapped shrimp served with rice, beans, homemade flour tortillas - fabulous. the carne asada is seasoned very well and is great in any application. I order it as a dinner and eat it like a steak. The guacamole is an equal blend of avocado, onions and tomatoes - get a side order as spoon as you are seated. Love their enchilada sauce on whatever enchiladas you prefer. eveything is served fresh and HOT. Haven't had anything that disappointed. Reasonably priced. Let's support this local business. read more

We order catering here at Earnhardt Ford every Saturday for our employees and BY FAR Anaya's has been the BEST all around for quality and service. The food is AMAZING. Joey the manager is always so friendly and helpful with ordering something new and different every week. I highly recommend if you are looking for a caterer or just looking for a great restaurant to go sit down and eat! read more

I ordered a chicken taco and got shredded beef, ground beef in the enchilada is burnt , looks recooked from yesterday or the day before. I actually like The Anaya's chain & decided to give this one a try , I will stick to visiting the one in Casa Grande when I'm out there. read more

Love the place, good fresh taste to everything, great chips and salsa at Bar, cold frosty beers, good taco Tuesday special. Saturday breakfasts are good. Girls serving dining room and bar area are great! Michelle. read more

Ok. 3 times in 3 weeks. So good and so fresh. Sunday brunch 2 weeks in a row then today for taco Tuesday. At the time of this writing we are in full Covid stage. Their tables are surrounded with high walls and we feel very safe. The breakfast skillet is my favorite so far. Bed of potatoes, peppers and onions topped with a plethora of steak, eggs and delicious sauce. Small family owned. Help support them and in return you will receive fresh delicious food in huge portions. read more

I was here the other night with my wife she had gotten the steak fajitas, and I got the dos amigos it was phenomenal. The spicees really enhanced the flavor of the shrimp,scallops, and mushrooms. The service was amazing. I forgot her name, but she had bangs. Everyone was amazing. The afternoons are when it's gets packed and will be coming back soon !!! read more

Margarita was tiny but tasty. Watch your bill for things not ordered. Food was below average.

Great restaurant close by our place. Chili rellenos is my favorite and the wife likes the fish tacos. Reasonably priced, friendly service, very clean and fresh and food is very good. read more

Breakfast was really good juevos rancheros & the machaca plate , service is good . 10/10 recommend

We have eaten here a few times, it's a block away from our house, food is average nbut it's close and easy. I don't think we will order from here again. The steak fajitas were like eating rubber, such a poor poor quality of meat, had a strange flavor, had to throw them out almost tasted like the meat was going bad. Also ordered a chile relleno, there was barely any cheese in it, so dissappointing, the best part of a relleno is the gooey cheese, for $7.00 it was not worth it. Hubby had a combo platter, ground beef was overcooked, seemed like yesterdays meat reheated. He said his meat tasted off as well. $40 for a meal thrown in the garbage, heated up some leftovers instead. Very sad, definitely wanted to support this business in our "backyard" unfortunately we will not spend any more money here. Better off getting taco bell. read more

Great neighborhood spot. Food is really good, priced well, and service is top notch! Street tacos on Tuesday are really good but entrees are even better. read more

Absolutely amazing service, and great food. Anaya's just picked up a spot on our go to restaurants list.

Went there for the first time today, I got the 2 combo plate and my husband got a Mexican flag burrito. Both were amazing! Service was fantastic! Drinks were yummy! We will definitely be back!!! read more

Me and my family came here on a friday night man it was crazy packed they do seem like they are short staffed but they did a excellent job of taking care of my family and I. We had gotten a mexican pizza with grilled chicken as a appetizer and I had a burrito loco with grilled chicken and my mom got a fajita combo of steak and chicken and my sister got a menudo. Food wise everything was tasty and presentable. Service was outstanding as the waitress (yeya) was very attentive towards my family and I, we will definitely be back . read more

So good! My husband and I were eagerly awaiting the opening of Anayas Tempe last spring when COVID hit and everything had to close. So glad they weathered the storm. We tried them for the first time last week and it was delicious. We did take out and the food was very fresh and hot. Excellent authentic cuisine. I had the Burrito Deluxe and my husband had the Chicken enchiladas. Both superb! We hope they are here for many years to come! read more

This place was by far one of the best restaurants I've been to in Arizona. For the last three years trying place after place with the feeling of wasting money for an okayish meal, we stumbled upon Anaya's. Everything was amazing from the staff and customer service, drinks, food and desserts this place has absolutely won me over. I do not feel bad spending my money here. Well worth it! I will definitely be back.. read more
