Just moved to the area a month ago and this is definitely our go-to place for Mexican! The staff is so nice and are always smiling :) love the atmosphere and the food is delicious!
Pros and cons here... I'll start with dessert because that was the best part for us. They have a churro cake with vanilla ice cream. It was so flavorful and delicious! They serve the cake warm and though the presentation is a bit..... Interesting (see my photo for a giggle) it was the best thing we ate here. Came in at a weird time between lunch & dinner so it wasn't busy. We were seated quickly in a booth. The waitress came regularly but was not friendly at all. So service was just okay. First you get chips & salsa and when I say this is the mildest salsa I've ever tasted in my LIFE. It's basically just tomato sauce. We were hungry so we ate some but it was so bland & had zero to no flavor. I ordered the birria burrito and it's probably the biggest burrito I've ever seen. Enough for two meals which was awesome but again the flavor was just lacking somewhat. The birria itself did have decent flavor but again just so mild. Covered in queso which I like normally but you could barely taste it. My husband got a chimichanga which was a lot smaller, he also said the meat was the most flavorful part of the meal. So overall... This was just a mediocre Tex Mex chain imo. Lots of tvs so if you want to watch football, this place is for you.
We live near this area and decided to finally try Anejo Cocina Restaurant. The interior is pretty nice, reminds me of another Mexican Restaurant. We were greeted warmly and seated right away.I appreciate that they provided us with complementary chips and salsa. We ordered the following: Chicken Wings - nice flavor of the buffalo sauce but it was not crispy as we requested . Pollo Loco - the chicken breast was nicely flavored and juicy. Love the veggies on the side and the grilled onions on top of the chicken! Birria Quesadillas- Tasty shredded beef. Would've enjoyed it more if it was crispy. Service was slow, our server never came back to check on us after we received our food. Waited too long also to get our bill. Not sure if we will come back.
An hour after I arrived at Anejo dense fog was everywhere like London in an old movie. They have outdoor seating that was bare of guests. We both had the tortilla soup which was very good. Mine without cheese and his with lots of cheese. It was like the tortilla soup I made with a kit from HEB in Austin. I just never added rice. He also ordered the pork belly. I had the street corn but dusted off most of the cheese and took two lactose pills just in case. The wait said many order the corn cut from the cob but what fun is that? Would someone cut your corn off the cob in the street? Beautiful restaurant with mid century modern decor, emerald booths, brown 70s style vinyl chairs, pretty pendants everywhere and art.
I've been holding off on writing anything for this local chain establishment but it's finally time. Anejo has been solid through and through. The staff at the St John's location really make you feel at home. All of my dining experiences have been from bar service so take that with a grain of salt. The food here overall, is quite good. It's pricey. But everything in this area is pricey. It's a great value if you're looking for some fantastic Cancun shrimp tacos or a massive steak burrito (enough for two portions). Their shrimp diabla plate is excellent and be sure to order a side of tortillas to go along with it. Their diabla sauce is house made and incredibly spicy and flavorful, if you're a spice head. There just seems to be a minor fruit fly issue near the bar and hopefully that is remedied. Overall a solid spot to grab a drink and some fine dinner.
I have eaten here a few times, every time is great. The most recent time I tried the pizza, it was HUGE. Their margaritas are good, but I have had some that were just ok. Service is always great. Tasty salsa. The decor is Instagram worthy. Love the stand alone chairs.
The best pork belly ever!! Nice inside with plenty of space and menu. No photo of the pork belly because we ate it. Staff was very nice too! Great place for lunch or dinner at a decent price.
After a trip to the beach we were all craving Mexican food. We were all looking forward to a delicious meal! I'd been craving their chicken quesadilla but did not want to pay $3 extra for the grilled so got shredded chicken. We got 2 kids meals also. The biggest disappointment was the rice - my kids will usually DEVOUR Mexican restaurant rice but could barely eat a few bites of this one. It was hard and had NO flavor at all. Service was incredible and chips/salsa so good but we won't be back due to the rice. The beans are so, so dark and don't have much flavor either.
Amazing food! Service, I tried this restaurant in Orlando and loved it ! So happy there is one closer to me now, inside is beautiful, service was great, we were seated right when we came in Thursday evening. We were starving and ate the food before I remembered to snap a shot. I had the Yucatan Cochinita Pibil $23.50 , we also did an order of carne asada to go $27.50 dishes come with rice & beans Complimentary Chips & Salsa, ended the night with a flan $9.50 (best flan since home in CA !!) not watery nice and firm just how I like it and not overly sweet! Order the flan! My drink was an Old Fashioned Añejo $25! Was delicous! Our waiter Axel was the best! Please give him kudos he was great! Awesome spot go in and give them a shot.
This place was highly recommended by the concierge's desk at the property I stayed at while vacationing in the area. The restaurant was nice and the service was good. I liked the atmosphere. The food was pretty good. If you like spicy though-get some hot sauce when you arrive. I found the food a bit bland.
Reviews are mixed. Many praise the fresh and flavorful food, friendly and attentive staff, and the inviting, clean atmosphere.

We wanted a delicious Mexican restaurant to take our out of town family to and I'm so glad my husband recommended Anejo! Everything was fantastic. Our server was proactive and very kind with our little one. We started with drinks & those ordered were the coconut margarita which was very fresh and delicious! The house marg, & I had a Dos Equis. Our meals included the Birria quesadilla which was absolutely fantastic! I loved every bite! Hubs chose the California burrito which I got to try, and it was also cooked very well and the meat was fresh. Burrito was HUGE and hubs was happy. Other family selected the fajitas and liked them as well. Definitely a great spot for an authentic meal & good service! read more

We went for lunch, and were quickly seated in a nice booth. The restaurant was clean, colorful, and the menu had plenty of options. We were served a big bowl of fresh warm tortilla chips, and very good salsa. My husband ordered steak nachos, and I had the Mexican style corn tortilla chicken tacos. The serving sizes of our food was enough to also take some home. It was delicious. The wait staff was attentive, and we enjoyed our wonderful meal. This place has the tallest ceilings I've ever seen. Make sure you look up! read more

A new restaurant in the Fountains shopping center. Anejo occupies a corner suite towards the back. Lots of parking in the area. We didn't have reservations. Not sure if they take them. But figured that going after 8pm on Friday, we should be able to get a table. The advantage of the Fountains area is that if you can't get into one place, there are other options. We walked up to the restaurant and, as expected, they were busy. They told us there was about a 20 minute wait. It actually was only about 10 minutes. They escorted us to a booth and gave us our menus. A few moments to look at the menu and our waiter stopped by. Very friendly and polite, he asked us if we wanted any drinks. We ordered our drinks and guacamole. Lots of different choices on the menu. Plenty of dishes we would like to try. Soon, our guac and drinks were delivered. We then placed our orders. The guac was good, nothing special. It is not tableside prepared. But we liked it. Chips and salsa are also supplied. We finished our guac and our dinners were soon delivered. Our meals were good. My wife's chicken Relleneos was good and big. We took half of it home. I had the tequila chicken. Also quite tasty; a great tasting meal. The restaurant is nicely decorated. A pretty large bar area in the back part in front of the kitchen. A nice outside dining area off the back. Some outdoor seating outside the main entrance. The night we ate there, it was too cold for outdoor seating. Inside, the restaurant is nicely decorated. Lots of interesting decor. But, there really is not much room inside the restaurant to wait for your table. The other negative is that this restaurant is pretty loud. Sometimes, It is hard to hear the person across from you. We weren't celebrating any birthdays, but there were a couple of birthdays there. The team came out with a variety of instruments and then wished the guest a happy birthday. We may try lunch there as hopefully it wouldn't be so loud. read more

Restaurant is very clean and spacious, staff was very friendly and super tentative, we ordered the California burrito, the Arrachera steak, ground beef tacos and a kids hamburger. All of the food came out hot and very well seasoned. The one thing we would say is that they give out too little rice ratio to the beans but it was still very yummy. read more

The waitresses are very accommodating! I didn't the salsa was spicy enough, so she brought out two more. I mixed them and my palette truly enjoyed it! The entrees were okay, not too much to brag on. Food tasted fresh and the salad that came with the fish was delicious! Could've eaten a plate of it! The whole fried snapper was a tad bit dry to us. I'd go again just for the salsa. Oh, the decor is amazing! read more

We went here for the first time. Ambiance was great and the drinks were excellent! Our server, Carly, was fantastic. She was well informed about the different types of menu items and offered to make us something off menu if needed. Will be coming back soon! read more

Ate on the relaxed covered porch with our little poodle! Happened upon this place and didn't realize it is the same restaurant as the one in Nocatee Town Center--same great service & delicious food! Portions are huge so we usually split one entree! Has become our go-to Mexican restaurant! read more

Solid! We arrived at about 730 and were immediately sat down. Our waitress came over with water before we could order. He was super fast, attentive and friendly. He also didn't come up when you have food in your mouth which was great. Ha. The steak chimichanga was amazing! Def different but so good. I subbed the rice for fries and they were hot and crispy! Will def be back. read more

We went here for my brother's birthday, and I loved it! I usually don't like tacos but the ones here are fantastic. Our food came out quickly. Our waitress was very nice, she was always checking up on us. The restaurant itself was very beautiful and had a very welcoming vibe. read more
