    Fish Tacos
    Fran D.

    Came here for lunch after the NYC 1/2 marathon. The place was crowded but the vibe was amazing! The staff was friendly and the salsa music was fun! The wait staff was super attentive and patient as we had a very large group. We ordered guacamole and chips to start. The guacamole was very good and obviously fresh. I ordered a mimosa and mah mahi tacos for lunch. The Mimosa was great. The tacos lacked unique flavor to be honest. They were bland. Overall a great restaurant. I'd def try one of the more flavorful dishes next time

    Carne asada con huevos
    Jeremy P.

    I've come here a few times and have determined the food here is solid, but regardless of the time of day or how busy they are, the service is unbearably slow. Most recently, I went there for an early dinner. I just caught the tail end of their happy hour and the restaurant wasn't very busy. I always get the guacamole and salsa combo, it is a bit pricey but totally worth it. I love all of their 4 different salsas they make in house and the healthy serving of guacamole. This appetizer is definitely enough for at least 3 people to share. For the entree, my table got pork carnitas tacos, crispy fish tacos, salmon a la veracruzana, and pollo adobado. The chicken was delicious and cooked perfectly with a crispy skin. The salmon was seared perfectly, but I expected more flavor from the vegetables. The tacos are always solid, but could be a bit more spices. In the past, I've been to their brunch a few times but it was just too chaotic the last time we went so I try to avoid it. During a weekend brunch, they get pretty busy so slower service is somewhat expected. However, it is a bit frustrating when they offer bottomless cocktails and you have to wait quite some time for the next drink. Their bottomless brunch includes cocktails (including margaritas) and guacamole. In the past, they've included coconut french toast as desert. The coconut french toast is still on the menu and is a must try as it was a favorite among my table. Their carne asada con huevos is pretty standard. The yucca fries are more like tots and I would have liked them to be more crispy. In the past, they had shrimp and grits and pork carnitas breakfast tacos. The shrimp and grits were well seasoned and the shrimp cooked perfectly, but the breakfast tacos needed a sauce. It is a nice casual local restaurant and always has availability. I would say going there for happy hour is definitely worth it, but wouldn't recommend going there if you didn't have ample time to hang around.

    Great option for Mexican grub. Only complaint is that you can't mix and match tacos :(. Service is quick and excellent. We stopped by on a Monday evening and were seated immediately and it wasn't too busy.

    Ambience was really nice. We went in around 3pm and it was quiet, which made for a perfect late lunch. Service was excellent; our waiter was super attentive. The birria tacos were a 10/10, and the consommé was just as good. As it got later, the place definitely picked up, and we spotted what looked like a margarita flight that caught our eye

    Bestie picked this restaurant to celebrate her birthday here,and it was absolute perfection. I have not been this impressed with a Mexican restaurant in a very long time (I am picky, I like authentic as it gets). If my dish does not have cilantro, onions, and a million sauces, salsas then I don't want it!!! The dishes were flowing smoothly, and felt like a grandmother from Mexico was cooking her best recipes. The food was incredibly fresh and delicious. Service was nice as well. Restaurant is on the smaller side, but that is what makes it cozy. My friends and I collectively all said this might be a new go to from now on. Oh I almost forgot the coconut cake was a show stopper. Absolutely come here, thanks bestie for finding this place, you never disappoint!!

    In search of good Mexican food, I happened to find Anejo and dined here with friends after seeing a broadway show. This place has THE best Mexican food I have tasted in a long time! Everything is so fresh! I could taste every single flavor in my shrimp tacos! The shrimp was cooked so tenderly. The fresh cilantro and cotija cheese was beyond! The pork belly tostadas were also incredible! Guac and chips were ordered for the table and we all were blown away by the freshness and taste. Service was great! The place is small but cozy and I loved that. I'm used to overcrowded restaurants, but this small somewhat local feel was very nice. I will definitely return! Anejo blew me away!

    Esquites
    Carol S.

    Great Mexican food in Hell's kitchen. The restaurant is clean, spacious, and lively. Service was prompt and attentive. We enjoyed having dinner while watching a few tables on first dates. We ordered lamb and fish tacos (which come in two or three), the guacamole and salsa combo, and a side of esquites. This is one of the best esquites I've ever had!! The guacamole and salsa combo was interesting because it came with so many sauces. I was very happy! I can see that this is a great date spot and local eatery.

    Guac & Salsa Combo. Guac was in the top right corner. It was the spicy pineapple guac.

    We decided to come here as a party of 4 on a Friday evening, entertaining our friends with some Mexican food they don't normally get at home overseas. Knowing it was Friday, we were able to get a reservation in at a pretty early time at 6:30pm. This came in handy as we were here at the restaurant for just over 2 hours, which was mostly by choice, but a luxury worth having. The place itself is not too large. There are tables indoors and a decent amount outdoors. The indoor seating is split between high tables and regular tables. I originally chose a low table, but as it was next to the bathroom, we opted to swap it for a high table instead. Smart choice. For starters, we decided to go for the guacamole + salsa combo. Our waiter was nice enough to swap the traditional guac with the spicy pineapple guac. Smart choice as the spicy pineapple guac had a dope taste to it. However, we truly enjoyed the variety of salsas as they had different levels of kicks to complement the taste palettes. Also, the chips were plentiful too and we were able to get extras as we had a ton of salsa to get through. Also, as a party of 4, it made the most economical sense to split a pitcher of margarita as it allowed us to get the best bang for our buck. I think it amounted to around 6 glasses for the 4 of us. We went with the signature Anejo margarita with the spicy salt, which was quite refreshing. As for dinner, my girl and the other couple split 2 non-vegetarian tacos, which turned out to be plenty. I opted for the enchiladas verde with veggies. This was really good and it wasn't too heavy. All in all - very solid meal and a fun dinner. I'd recommend.

    we stopped I for a margarita...a way overpriced margarita (nearly $30 each) wow! it was fine...not bad not great. service was friendly window seat view was entertaining. didn't try food since this was after brunch.

    I came here for bottomless brunch with my friends. We had a really great time. Everyone at the table has to participate. I loved that brunch came with chips, guac, and salsa. The chips were on the thick side, which I love. The guac was thick, which I also love. We also got French toast to share before our appetizers. People got margaritas and mimosas. My friends said the margaritas were strong. Service was great! I would definitely come back.

    Had the chicken tacos this time. Superb! And the margs were especially fantastic. Bar staff is always so nice,

    Queso fondido, yuca fries, and 2 empanadas
    Shemesh Y.

    We came for happy hour. The A/C was blasting to the point we had to put our jackets on! The sangria was good; empanadas were not very special (but were inexpensive too, so..); queso fondido was nice and cheesy (but quickly got too cold and tough as it was so cold inside the restaurant), and th loaded yuca fries were delicious and refreshing. I love a good Happy Hour

    Carne Arrachera
    Jessica G.

    We were on our way to another restaurant in mid town when we passed by Añejo. Must have been fate that the other place ended up closed for Labor Day, because we came back and had a great meal. We came in around 5:45 and they had no problem getting us in and out comfortably before our show at 7. We started with the Salsa quatro sampler, followed by the Pork belly tostadas and Carne arrechera. The white sauce and the salsa verde were my favorite 2 salsas of the bunch. I highly recommend the carne arrechera. The beef was perfectly crispy on the outside and tender on the inside, and the pickled vegetables that came with it were tasty too. I don't normally find the side of rice and beans interesting enough to finish, but they were delicious here.

    Cinco de Mayo landed on my radar when a bunch of us at work were looking for a place to grab some…read morelunch. We had our usual list of spots in Midtown East, but this time we wanted something a little different. We ultimately landed on Mexican, however even then there were several spots to chose from. One of my colleagues found CdM, and since we had nothing to lose we decided to check it out. In terms of physical space at CdM, there is very little; this is actually a walk-up spot hence it is solely a takeout restaurant. The menu is pretty straightforward - lots of Mexican staples with a good variety to choose from. The burrito bowl looked good so I decided to go with that - I was given choice of protein (I chose pastor) and types of beans (I chose black). The bowl was really good - all the ingredients tasted fresh and they were generous with the portion. They added sour cream to the top of the bowl and it came with a side of salsa verde which I thought was a nice touch. We also ordered some bags of tortilla chips to share - these were my favorite kind as they were semi-thick and super crunchy. Overall, I had a solid experience at Cinco de Mayo. It definitely hit the Mexican craving spot and I would have no qualms returning for another meal.

    First time here - pretty solid meal with decent pricing as well…read more I got the cinco de mayo plate which came with beef. Good lunch portion and it was also pretty tasty. Also got guacamole and chips as a side - which was on the smaller side given the price. All in all it's a good lunch option in the city!

    I had this place bookmarked for a while. Finally came for my birthday dinner. It was a rainy…read moreevening and I was hoping there'd be umbrella sleeves offered. I didn't see any but saw buckets for umbrellas. I opted not to leave it there since I didn't wanna forget or risk someone taking it. I took it upstairs with me. My friend had arrived and was seated. Apparently, they do offer sleeves because she got one. But the 3 people who were at the hostess booth failed to offer me one. The beautiful ambiance will get your attention immediately. It is a stunning space. The tableware was gorgeous as well. We waited for our last friend to arrive who was almost half an hour late before ordering (we thought she'd arrive sooner). Our server, Matias was gracious about it the whole time. What we ordered: Drinks: Passionfruit Margaritas & Mojito - we were happy with them. Tlayudas, Guacamole y Salsas - this was really good and a great option for the table to share. The homemade chips alone were excellent. Liked all the different dips. Guac could've used some cilantro and more acid/spice. Tán Ceviche - I loved this. Super fresh and great flavor. Could use a touch of acid. My entree was the Shrimp & Crab Enchiladas - This was pretty good. The sauce could've used some spice and some acid to cut through the richness. My friend ordered the Yellow Corn Soup as part of her meal and she did not like it. She said it was too sweet which I thought was strange. I tried a spoonful and I agreed with her. It needed a savory note and again, acid would've done wonders. Also, the crab was a bit fishy in this. She enjoyed her tamal though. I tried a touch of the sauce and it was delish. My other friend had the Quesabirria which she was also happy with. To sum up: Ambiance: 5/5 The space is undoubtedly gorgeous. Food: 4/5 Beautiful presentation on everything but each dish lacks an element or two to make it a home run. Staff: Wait staff 5/5. Downstairs staff (greeters/hostess) 4/5. Needs to be more on point like offering customers sleeves for umbrellas or pointing out the buckets to put them in. At some point through our entrees a group of 3 women were doing a 10-minute photo shoot by the stairway where our table was. Absolutely inappropriate behavior and a manager should've stopped it. Camera flashes all up in our faces while we're eating wasn't cool. Overall, still a great elevated Mexican cuisine option. The slight tweaks would make this a 5 star place for me. I'd return to try more things.

    What a GORGEOUS space. Whoever interior decorated this restaurant deserves their tens because it is…read morea spectacle. I had only seen daytime pics, but being there in the evening is a treat. If you are someone who is looking at an aesthetic place, this is a top contender. Unfortunately, I would say this place is better looking than the food is good. The food was fine, appetizers were all fresh but lacked any real depth in flavor. I wasn't too thrilled with the bone marrow I had either (but the tortillas come in the cutest basket). Personally, if it wasn't for the drinks and the space, I cant say this place is worth it - you're not coming here for the food. Another little complaint I have is the women's restroom on the second floor - right by the door is a floor to ceiling mirror which I understand was included to make the space seem bigger, but my friends and I agreed that it is a little misleading - I kept wanting to walk into it thinking there was more space there and not wall. I would recommend maybe putting a decal on it to clearly show its mirror.
