"Man, I wish these guys were near us (aka in Denver)." Actual first words after his first bite. Mine were similar: "Omg, me too." Slow cooking. Be ready to wait a bit for your food. They are literally making it when you order. And they're using fresh ingredients. Don't believe me? You can watch them cook your order from our seats at the bar. So, yeah, I promise. Meanwhile, their chips and salsa will keep you busy (fresh, spicy and also one of my favs in a long while too). You can tell a lot by a place's salsa, IMO. The salsa here is house made, daily, I bet, which already tells you a lot. Made daily. Yum. Ok, literally my dude took two bites and made a wish that we could transported these folks to our neck of the woods. I was surprised really, until I had a bite of my spinach enchiladas. Fresh. Well seasoned. Cooked just right (aka, the spinach wasn't slimy, lol). Sooooo very good. Staff were amazing, laid back and super courteous. If we do nothing else when we pass through Gunnison, we will be stopping back by here! read more

Noticeably unfriendly staff (almost like they have a reputation to uphold lol) and bruuuutally slow. As in, nobody even looked up or acknowledged the people at the "wait here to be seated" sign by the door for literally 10+ minute periods at a time, and we watched this happen multiple times to multiple groups. Once they, reluctantly, sat us at a table, it was 20 minutes until the next acknowledgement, then 20 minutes until the water and chips/salsa came. Then prob 40 minutes more for food. The food is the only bright spot, and you literally see the ladies making everything fresh to order. But it's not THAT good, not really worth the 2 hour experience unless you have nothing else to do. Would recommend this place only if you can catch it at a time with very few other customers, then they may be friendlier and less stressed and may be able to keep up with food and marg orders. I rarely write reviews but this was such an odd experience I had to share. read more

Cesar, the artist of Mexican food, created yet another Masterpiece! This time it was the four bean enchiladas layered with pork carnitas and smothered in his delicious red and green sauces....incredible! Another win for Anejos!!! read more

Best food and service in Gunnison! The family business is really great. The food is excellent and worth the wait (it's a small place). Anejo is the place to go for dining out! read more

This is our 2nd visit as we could not just have one chance to try their food as we are traveling. Their chili rellenos are so authentic and delicious. Tried a chicken enchilada with mole sauce- which hit all the marks, too. Ended the first dinner with sopapillas. So many restaurants throughout the US think sopapillas are tortilla chips with cinnamon, honey, and chocolate sauce drizzled over! They made those puffy dough pastry with cinnamon and honey drizzled - delicious! Tonight we tried Cameron's al mojo de ago- oh my the shrimp was large, garlicky and buttery- yum! Our waitress was the best as she knew from our first visit that I love shrimp. She customized ours with whole beans and a small salad with Pico and guacamole. For dessert we had their fried ice cream - one of the best we've ever had! It's a cozy atmosphere but a little noisy. But who cares - this food is spot on! And being a family owned and operated restaurant makes it even more special! read more

Well, sorry to say, not a very good experience at this place. I've been to many Mexican restaurants and eaton many varieties of fajitas,but this has to be at the bottom of my list. I did not appreciate the boiled chicken breast with the lightly grilled sear. No flavor, watery mix of tomatoes, green pepper and onions. But hey, if that's what you're looking for, this is your place. It took forever to bring out the food too. The guy at the bar next to me wasn't very happy waiting for his three tacos. I told em Taco bell is just down the street, and his reply was "I'm heading there now"! I won't be back. read more

Happy hour drinks are good, food is fresh and tasty. service can be slow and owners are not very friendly at all.

We were passing through Gunnison this week and looking for some legit Mexican food. We're pretty picky since were from San Diego but Anejo looked awesome. We had a great meal! First we ordered a couple of house margaritas I ordered the large it looked like a fishbowl obviously it was huge even the medium one was pretty big like the size of a normal margarita the large was 7:50 in the medium was 550 very reasonably priced not only do they have a good strong margaritas they have great food I ordered a pork tamale à la carte and it was amazing the MASA was tender and moist and the pork was amazing. My hubby ordered a beef taco and two beef enchiladas and they were so good. The beef tasted just like a Sunday pot roast but Mexican style! Also really good chips and salsa are provided during the meal. Service is great love the ambience just a little mom and pop place with the dude cooking and mom taking the food orders. Will be coming back by here or in the future will be in Gunnison again in the fall so I'll definitely hit this place again. read more

Found this gem on the way to Crested Butt and was glad we did. Read g the reviews on yelp everything looked great. Only negative was slow service because it is a Ma and Pop place. The place has a yellow front entrance as wide as one parking spot. We were lucky and got star parking right in front. When we entered we were surprised because it was larger than appeared, with tables and bar is a ling room. We were greeted with a smile and seated at a table in the back. The server provided menus and water. We ordered our drinks and food at the same time and everything came in a reasonable time with drinks first. We ordered a large and small margarita's. The large was large :-) Chips and salsa were on point and tasted authentic. We ordered the pork tamale and beef enchiladas and taco cheese combo. Being from San Diego i know my mexican food. Ine if the best tameles i have every tasted. The beef in the taco and enchiladas tasted like moms slow cooked roast beef with a mexi seasoning Food was amazing, service was quick and good. Parking is street, you may get lucky like I did right in front. We were there on a Monday 1:30 pm. Tables were available. Check out the menu in the pictures, lots of options. Love this place! read more

Anejo's Bistro & Bar - Wings and tortilla soup. - Mexican Near Me - Gunnison, Colorado

One of the worst meals I've had in a while. Took an hour for us to get our food and everything across the board was bland and felt like it came from a can. Our waitress was rude and basically ignored us the whole time. If I could give 0 stars I would. I am starting to think all the reviews here are fake. read more

super slow service, we waited close to 45 mins to have our order taken. Not great house margaritas, food was not great. I wouldn't recommend. read more

My family and I are on a road trip. We were passing through town and wanted good food. After looking at all the reviews of restaurants nearby, we decided on this restaurant. We got there around 8:00pm on a Tuesday. The restaurant is pretty small and was full when we got there. We were told a twenty minute wait and got seated in that time. I honestly believe the wait is worth it. I had the adobada tacos. They were delicious! The rice didn't taste like the usual Mexican rice. It was more buttery but that's what made it taste really good. It included black beans in the dish. They were decent. I really liked there homemade salsa that was served with chips. I added that salsa to my tacos instead of what it came with. I doubt I'll ever be in town again but if I am I'll be back! read more

Anejo's Bistro & Bar - Adobada Tacos - Mexican Near Me - Gunnison, Colorado

I must say for a small town like Gunnison, Colorado they have some very good authentic mexican food. I was so suprised by the assortment of resturant you an choose from. I really enjoy Anejo's Bistro the house margarita is the best I've ever had. The food very flavorful and the atmosphere very eclectic. Its a true authentic mexican resturant with a BIG PUNCH!! My co workers joined me for dinner and we also got there for there awesome happy hour 4 to 6pm. Leslie was our waittress and she told us that her mom makes the juices that create such an magnificent margarita. Leslie was very eduacated on the tequilas and the food. Ask fot her when you go dine there. We had dinner of course I went dor the shrimp fajitas they were delicious and prepared perfectly. My co worker Mekkel had the barrito it was huge he stated that the brown sauce had a kick. He devoured that burrito. My co worker Myron had the Carna Asada with onions and cactus he stated that, that was the best carna asada he ever had. He a Dallas Fort Worth, TX they have a huge amount of mexican restaurants so he's had hes share of carna asada. My co worker Joe had these tortitos with sauce he really enjoyed hes dish as well. I can't seem to get enough of this place but i have 2 more weeks in Gunnison, Colorado. I will be checking out more great eats until next time my Yelpers #FOODIE4LIFE. read more

Authentic Mexican Food, which at first it was hard for me to believe given its location but this is the real deal. Small place with street parking. The only downside is they do take a long time to make, serve your food and charge you. read more

Best Mexican food I've had in a long time. Everything tasted homemade and great flavors. Highly recommend!

3.5 rounded up. This is a very casual Mexican eatery, with a short-order cook working behind a counter on a hot griddle making taco fillings and putting together your plates. You can chose to sit at the limited bar seating up front or some small wooden tables in back (better suited for family groups). Overall, not impressed with the layout of a full working kitchen (opening and shutting fridges, cleaning the griddle etc.) being the center piece of the restaurant. Still, there are quirky decorations to make the place seem colorful and inviting. Can't knock a casual cafe atmosphere really. We pulled in for some margaritas and boy were we hit with a sledgehammer level of margarita! The tequila is strong here. It didn't taste of a cheap store-bought mix, and I thought the drink was well put together with authenticity and a decent tequila. I couldn't believe the size of the large for $5, because that would cost me at least $13 in Washington DC. The $5 is their happy hour price for a large margarita. Well I was hurting half-way through...so I didn't finish it. The lovely service included complementary chips and salsa (the latter tasting sharp and perfectly zesty, a very well done mix). I didn't have Mexican food elsewhere in Gunnison so I cannot compare but their location downtown and their cosy, loud vibe is quite warming. Not to mention their heavy handed tequila pours. read more

This Mexican spot is pure fire. Highly recommend it if you are in town. Everyone is very hostpitable

The food is pretty good. The service is honestly whatever. Takes awhile to get food sometimes. They have really good drinks and the ambiance inside is nice. read more

Food is excellent. Family owned. The adobada tacos are fantastic! My kiddos love the tamales and cheese dip.

I love the food here. Every dish is made fresh and is authentic. The adobada tacos are my favorite and the margaritas are strong and delicious. The service is top notch as well. This is a family owned business and prob my favorite restaurant in Gunnison. Stop in for authentic food and delicious drinks. read more

Really, really good, authentic Mexican cuisine. Tasty and powerful margaritas. Very nice folks. The chef is essentially a one person band so, since the food is cooked to order, the dining experience here is very similar to what you would experience in Italy or France -- you will be there a while, so enjoy the company of your dining companions, order a second margarita and relax. The wait is absolutely worth it. read more

Kind service and consistently delicious food. Best place in town for mexican food. Small kitchen so wait time can be long but always worth it for an amazing product. Restaurant is small as well so not the best for a large party. read more

If you are expecting the staff to pay attention to you or are in a hurry, turn around. But, if food is all that matters, patiently wait to be seated. Had the steak tacos and tamales and they were great. read more

This is definitely my FAVORITE place in Gunnison and by far some of the best Mexican in the state! Everything is super delicious. The margs are killer, beware, lol! I come here often and recently took my sister and her family. My brother-in-law said it was the best Mexican meal he had eaten in years. My sister is picky and said the flautas were "life changing" . I ighly recommend Anejo's! read more

We left before ordering and went across the street to an outdoor Mexican restaurant. We left because we were not greeted well and we found the menu to be a bit pricey for lunch. I would recommend El Paraíso across the street on a nice day. They do have indoor seating as well. Staff was friendly and food was ok. read more

Place is not open for lunch today. Saturday. August 14 11:30. Yelp said open. Hours or if they are still open need to be updated.

Great fajitas and rellenos!! Will definitely return when in Gunnison! Small place with character and yummy margaritas.

Only good Mexican food in town. The restaurant is a little small, so good luck getting a table. Call and order for pickup, you won't be disappointed. read more

The food is decent but a bit pricey. However a 30+ minute wait for a simple takeout order on a moderately paced night is unacceptable,especially when we were waiting outside. read more

As another Yelper says "this place has a large open kitchen" so you would have to close your eyes not to see into it. So there are no heat lamps here as one person suggested so do not be discouraged. I was shocked by how good the food here is! In a mountain town of 5,800 I didn't think I would find good Mexican food but thank God I did! As of this writing I have eaten at this place three time since I have been in Gunnison and I am sure I'll go again before I leave. The staff, which looks like a father, daughter & two sons that works all day, are starting to recognize my wife and I. This place is narrow and colorful (festive) with limited table seating but a lot of bar seating. The bar seating on the west side of the restaurant is a little awkward but after a few of their awesome margaritas you want even notice. We have had burritos, carne asada & fish tacos (the fish tacos tasted great and fresh), chili rellenos and red enchiladas; all are excellent choices. If you like Mexican food and margaritas you have to give this place a try while in Gunnison. read more

Anejo best Mexican restaurant in Gunnison. Family run restaurant with a one man culinary genius in the kitchen. Food is authentic and full of flavor. I ordered the Cazuela de Mariscos, which is seafood cooked in a garlic sauce. Comes with shrimp, scallops and muscles, all cooked to perfection. Rice was buttery and flakey, not your traditional Mexican rice. Portions are substantial yet because of the flavor it kept me wanting more. I almost likes the plate clean. I highly recommend Anejo if you are in the mood for Mexican cuisine read more

We were in Gunnison for a few nights between Christmas and New Year's. We placed a carryout order and were not disappointed! The chips were handmade (while I was standing there) and delicious! The salsa was amazing! My husband had delicious carnitas. I had chicken enchiladas and my son had tacos. Even better than our meals were the margaritas! They only have house margaritas and these were by far the best house margaritas I've ever had! It is a small place, which made me slightly uncomfortable waiting for my order due to COVID-19. The folks working were working extremely hard and fast to prepare and deliver the orders. We would definitely stop by again when passing through Gunnison. THANK YOU! read more

Best tortilla soup I've ever had. The corn tortillas are on point and the retried beans are perfect. A great, family run business with excellent service. read more

This place is the real deal. Very narrow front on the south end of Main Street, across the street from an all sombrero no cattle Mexican place that only gets 3.5 stars...so you might wonder if you should go in given the relative obscure entrance to the place, but once you do you are welcome by a member of the family that runs it and they obviously feel confident that you will soon be glad you are there. Right to the food...you walk by the open kitchen on the way to the tables and you can readily see you have nothing to fear, clean well managed kitchen. We ordered a variety of things from Tamales to tacos to enchiladas and they were all perfect Colorado style Mexican, no tex-mex. So, if you are in Gunnison...this is a must place for lunch or dinner! read more

Don't go here if you're in a hurry. Enjoy the best salsa I've ever had. We shared a fajita combo, steak and chicken. Fresh, good meats and vegetables- good selection of beers and desserts. We had Mexican beers, had to skip dessert! The have a huge selection of margaritas and Tequilas- but they really charge for them. Fajitas were very good, a little pricey read more
