THE BIG: Mexican restaurant located on 4th St SW in Calgary. Indoor and outdoor seating available. Parking is relegated to the street. THE BLACK AND WHITE: I came here with the wife and a couple of her cousins for dinner on Monday. We were wrapping up the Calgary Stampede weekend and decided on getting Mexican. Fortunately we were able to snag a seat by walking in but it was crowded. For food, we got the taco platter, fried coconut shrimp and scallops. The scallops was bomb however the tacos were very dry and dare I say mid. The cocktails were very refreshing. THE FINAL BAMBOO: Overall for the taco platter, scallops, fried shrimp and a couple of drinks ended up being around $80 CAD. Not the best tacos but then again I'm coming from Austin.
Really delicious food! We only got the QUESABIRRIA and the MOLCAJETE DE CARNE as we were in a rush. Out of the two the birria tacos were really delicious! The other one was mostly savory but slightly sweet which I personally didn't like as much. Their margarita menu looked delish but we had to drive to the airport and couldn't try any drinks. Overall we were super happy with the food and vibe!
I don't normally come here because I used to work downtown and I never enjoyed the food. The atmosphere is good, but I always found the protein in their tacos dry. I wanted to give this place another try after enjoying the Anejo in Banff. We came here for Taco Tuesday, my friend's vodka/pineapple drink tasted like tequila. The server had it remade, but the new one still tasted off. The server took the first one off the bill, but kept the 2nd one on although undrank. The mix must have been bad. It kept tasting like tequila mixed with rotten juice. We ordered beef, mahi-mahi and pulled pork tacos, drinks, guac/chips and churros. Service was great, beef was dry, as it was in Banff also, but the pulled pork was great, as was the guacamole. Their Google business says its open until 11 but last call is 10pm. I would return just the churros and Nutella!
What's up yelpers! Went to Añejo tonight for the first time and boy was I not disappointed! The atmosphere was amazing, very fun and festive restaurant! The drink menu was phenomenal with a huge selection of tequila. I order the tacos as per usual and they were great. I'm only giving them 4 stars because I didn't find them spectacular, but still a good place to go out. Also it was nice because I found that I was not rushed by the staff to head out which was really nice. Overall I would definitely visit again (maybe just on happy hour next time)
Loved their Guacamole for table and tres leche cake. We tried 5 of their classic tacos and they all were delicious. Great selection of tequilas and service was good.
Great environment, the food is outstanding!! Best Mexican restaurant I've been to in Calgary. Beware the drinks are STRONG but good just prepare yourself lol.
Great place!! Friendly Mexican restaurant, tasty food and great Mexican beer. The best tequila place on the city.
My aunt and I came here for a late dinner and were happy to be seated right away despite it being very busy. We started with the guacamole, which was freshly made in front of us by the handsome waiter we had. It tasted delicious and had just the right amount of spice. I ordered the steak which came with bacon wrapped asparagus which was really cool and tasted nice. The rice could've been a little hotter but either than that I'd definitely come back.
June 2017 Given 4 star rating: I want to give this place a 5 because the food is so good. Its actually AMAZING! I am a big family person which means I spend lots of time with my Mom, and Grandma and Grandpa- not just boyfriend and friends. I had been to this restaurant once before and it was so good that I wanted to bring my family. I went here with my Grandma and Grandpa and unfortunately the restaurant I found to be the music to be way to loud that day and it was not that way when I had been there the last time. It was almost like a nightclub. I believe that at a restaurant the music should be moderately loud but not overly loud. People, obviously, talk and restaurants and need to be heard so the volume increases from people talking over each other. This music seems to be trying to be louder than the people which is not how it should be. That is why Anejo is losing a star- for how loud it is but the food is amazing! I have had under the "Sharing for Two" the Guacamole (avocado, cilantro, jalapeño, onion, tomato and lime salt) and Salsa De Molcajete (oven roasted tomatoes, jalapeño, roasted garlic, grilled lime and onions). Of the two I would recommend the salsa as it had more flavour. The guacamole needs more lime, but it was fairly bland. The serving of chips that comes could also be a little bigger.. They make it right at your table to alter to your level of spicy which is a nice touch. I have also had the Ceviche Tostadas (seasonal ceviche, lime, cabbage, avocado) which was not my favourite ceviche I have had. They were generous with the amount they put on the cracker but too generous as it was too heavy for the cracker and the cracker would break. The cabbage was not a good choice on these and again it needed more flavour. The seasonal ceviche when I went was Salmon and shrimp. I have also had the avocado toast off the brunch menu which was AMAZING! The best thing I have eaten there so I would highly recommend this. Really.. you don't go there to eat though- you go there to drink. I have had every margarita on the menu and my favourite is strawberry rhubarb or the seasonal (when I went) was pomegranate. I also like the Guava but it is too thick and my Mom's favourite is the Coconut Child which reminded me of the Mango heat slurp from 7-11... sadly. Therefore, if you go there you need to get at least two sensational margaritas and the avocado toast. They have a patio as well and it gets lots of sun which is nice but it is small. Not many tables on the patio either- mostly street seating. December 2017 Given 5 star rating: The margarita of the month is mandarin with a cinnamon rim which is really interesting in a good way! I finally tried the tacos too. Overtime I go I always say I am getting the tacos and then I end up getting something else. I got the chicken, beef, veg chili, fish and calamari tacos (5 tacos all together). You have the option between corn or flour tacos and I wanted to try each so I got two corn tacos and 3 flour tacos. The corn taco shells have good flavour but are dry so next time I will just stick with the flour shells. Out of all of those my least favourite was the fish and calamari tacos because it makes the tacos really dry because they are deep friend and then put in a taco shell so I will probably stick with the beef, veg chili and chicken. They also have pork and chorizo but I didn't get those because I don't eat pork so I don't know how those would be. March 2018: The margarita of the month is sour cherry with almost a chipotle BBQ rim which is interesting. I don't know if I loved it or Event liked it. It's not my favourite margarita that's for sure. The tacos of the month are jerk chicken which are good. I also had the shrimp tacos again- they are my favourite! Rather than posting every month a paragraph I thought it would be easier to just list the Margaritas of the month: - December 2017: Mandarin with a Cinnamon Rim - January 2018 - February 2018 - March 2018: Sour Cherry with a BBQ Rim - April 2018: Pineapple - May 2018: Pomegranate with a sugar rim - June 2018: Paloma (Grapefruit) margarita - July 2018: Watermelon Margarita with a sugar rim - August 2018: White Peach Margarita with a sugar rim - September 2018: Passionfruit Margarita with a sugar rim - October 2018- - November 2018 - December 2018
We went to Anejo last night for Happy Hour, appetizers and of course margaritas. Beautiful decoration and lighting. We had the guacamole (a must have), and queso fundido for aps. Margaritas were highly acidic (more than normal) but the flavours were very creative: Spicy Coconut and Ginger. Not sure how they couldn't get a traditional margarita done well but they did. The tacos were saggy, cold and the chicken and meat dry. The staff was not friendly at all and the service was extremely poor. No plates, no napkins. Just not friendly at all. Forgot to say that they "kicked us off" by saying: "we have another reservation in 10' so you need to leave before they arrive". All this despite the $500 bill.

My cousins and I came for dinner on a Monday night during Stampede. We were able to sit on patio after waiting for about 20minutes. Service was excellent and our waitress gave us great recommendations. I highly recommend the shrimp and scallops to share. They were DELICIOUS! The tacos in my opinion were very dry. Next time I will definitely ask for sour cream and pico. Finally, you should try their cucumber and coconut margaritas. They are super refreshing! read more

Solid Mexican restaurant in Banff. Cocktails have a good alcohol ratio, the salsa sampler with chips has a wide variety of dips to share with 2-4 people, and the ceviche is delicious. Ordered tacos which were good as well. Service was very friendly and helpful; would recommend. Overall ambiance is nice; note that there is a code to go to the bathroom. read more

Only thing worth while here is the table side guac and the margaritas. Other than that I'd throw this place away if I could. The service isn't the best and the tacos made me upset, as someone who has had real Mexican tacos I was offended and hurt. It should just focus on making guac, margaritas and desert. I did go back a second time but to try the desert which made me feel better about going back there. The bathroom was gross and hopefully they will get a cleaning chart up so the staff can make sure it's always clean. I think seeing the gross restroom was what added to my anger. The dessert is still from ur establishment Kate, still doesn't change the fact the food and service aren't on the same level as other resturant in Calgary especially since I had gone back a few months ago to give it another go. So until the service gets better, and the food isn't thrown together carelessly I stand by my review. :) Best, SB read more

Anejo... I waffled a bit on whether to give it a 3 or a 4. But alas, it's predecessor, Fuze, was a solid 3, and Anejo is a cut above it, so... 4 it is! Love what they've done with the skylight area of this resto. Installed a full bar and high seating. Well done! Though it seems the entrance is now through the patio doors? That was a bit confusing. It makes for a fun sharing appy kind of lunch. We tried the guacamole (mixed table side), ceviche tasting and I believe the molotes. All good, though not "OMG!! You have to get this!" In my true cocktail loving fashion, I just had to have one. Strawberry rhubarb margarita anyone? Ok! The margaritas are appropriately over ice and not a big bowl full of slushy drink. And the taste was much more strawberry than it was rhubarb. Overall, I'm happy with this locations new occupant! read more

Our waiter was awesome... initially. The way he described one of the drinks when we sat down was so enticing, both my friend and I were immediately sold on it. As well as the second drink, even though it wasn't as delicious (but still tasty!) as the first. While the margaritas in other places in town may be bigger, Añejo scored points for quality. But then as the night went on, he started to disappear more frequently and by the time our meal was over, might as well have changed in to a red and white sweater and called himself Waldo. We were constantly scanning the restaurant for him. I was on the fence about ordering the Strawberry Rhubarb margarita for dessert (since none of the desserts at Añejo are vegan, which, no surprise there... but if you're going to tell people on your menu to ask for the vegan options, actually having options would be nice), but since he took so long to come back; my food had settled and I no longer wanted it. Also, when he brought out our chips and salsa, he also brought out the 3 salsas that are meant for the tacos. Neither of us realized this initially, and just assumed he'd bring out more salsa for the tacos. But nope, that was it. Not a terrible thing, it just made the main course of the evening kind of bland and dry, and since he kept disappearing; we couldn't ask for more. As for the tacos themselves, since I wrote my last review, they've changed the veggie tacos to black bean. Instead of fried strips of tofu, you now get raw black beans. They're not bad, would be great if they had both tofu and black beans, and the black beans had a bit more flavor to them, but they're okay. I'd get them again. The corn tortillas seemed a little undercooked, but I'm glad they're available. So... again, on the fence. This was really more of a 3.5 star visit, would've been 2.5 if the other staff weren't so awesome and kind of made up for our friendly, yet absent-minded Where's Waldo. Drinks were great, salsa is delicious, though not spicy (in terms of heat) at all. Probably need a third visit to seal things for myself :). read more

I went to Anejo for "The Big Taste" a couple of weeks ago and had the chupacabra roll, the chile relleno, and the tres leches cake. Holy cow: what a knockout of a trio! - Chupacabra roll: deep fried roll of ground beef, enough said. - Chile relleno: it was really tasty but really heavy. I felt like I was harbouring a 10kg delicious brick of cheese in my stomach. - Tres leches cake: a milky, pillowy delight. It was so freaking good!!! I didn't have any of the tequilas but friends I went with did and really liked it. They had an anejo (spanish for 'aged', learned that bit of spanish from our server) tequila which looked fancy. read more
Hey! Guess what?! You like tequila! No really, you do. Possible responses: 1. "Yeah I know I do, Dale. Tequila is the best!" = Go straight to the food section, or better yet, just go straight to Añejo. 2. "No way! I drank it back when I was 18. Tequila is what you buy to punish someone for having a birthday!" = You, my friend are in for an *agave education. Read on. The first thing you'll learn by some time at Añejo is that tequila isn't bad. Bad tequila is bad. Good tequila, however is very very good. Simple right? It's smooth, it's drinkable, and it's downright delish! Another thing you should know is that you don't have to shoot it, in fact you shouldn't. Throw away the salt and the lime (unless you're making a margarita) and enjoy a tasty tequila cocktail (including margaritas) or get yourself a nice sip-able tequila and just sit back and enjoy. I'm sure that in their over 100 types of tequila they have on hand, the bartender will be able to find you something you love. Cocktails! This place loves margaritas and after a bit of time here, you'll love them too. When it comes to margaritas, they have 10 to choose from. Sit down, you're going to be here for a while. My favs are, in second place, the Chili Coconut: Blanco tequila, triple sec, coconut syrup, habañero and citrus. In first place, The Mezcalarita Basically a regular margarita but like I just taught you that you love tequila, this one finally taught me that I love mezcal. Mezcal, Triple Sec, Agave syrup and lime. The smokiness of the mezcal adds some delightful complexity to the beloved margarita while still maintaining a bunch of its more refreshing, drink-them-all-day-in-the-sun qualities of the margarita. Food! It's been a while since I've eaten a full dinner at Añejo, but I remember quite enjoying myself. It's high end, foodie style Mexican fare. The table-side guac is good for any occasion. Especially occasions where you want guacamole! *Agave - a succulent plant with rosettes of narrow spiny leaves and tall flower spikes. It's what Tequila is made from! Yum! read more

Wow, what a crazy cool, fun, fiesta of a spot! You know a place is great when you can't stop thinking about it, telling others about it and looking forward to being able to return. The room itself is chic and comforting all at the same time. It's very rare to find a place that has got soul, a funky vibe and adorned with wickedly fun throw pillows that make you want to curl up with your rhubarb margarita and stay awhile! The food is just fantastic! Everything I tried was so fresh, so flavourful and so surprising for a snow covered, Alberta resto. I guess anything is possible! I highly suggest going in for dinner or even just grabbing a drink at the bar. The tequila list is fantastic and the phenomenal servers and bar staff will get you in a sunny Mexican state of mind before you know it! Viva Anejo! read more
We took advantage of a rare sunny weekend this summer and sat on the patio. This restaurant features a menu with more appetizers, shareable and small dishes than main courses. Given the slick yet relaxed festive atmosphere of this place, the focus on less formal dining makes sense here. The significant twists on traditional recipes mean this is neither a cheezy Tex-Mex fiesta house, nor a traditional Mexican restaurant. And it works. We ordered 4 non-main dishes, and I must say they were all really good. This merits 4 stars right off the bat. Freshness and craftsmanship are at the forefront, evident in the fine preparation and artful presentation of the ceviche sampler, and of the tuna "tartare". The use of capers in one of the ceviches was a pleasant surprise that worked well, as was the tequila compressed watermelon in the tartare, which comfortably straddled the line between savoury and sweet. None of the three ceviches (containing 4 types of seafood) was overly acid, sweet or salty, and the extremely fine dice of peppers/herbs/flavourings made every bite consistent. The third dish was a pozole (pork and full kernel corn grit soup). This preparation was quite non-traditional, including mushrooms, chorizo sausage and cheese, but definitely worked as a whole. My only complaint would be that many people would probably like to add some heat or acid to this soup. A simple improvement would be to provide a small side of lime wedge and a cute tiny bowl of chilli sauce. The final dish was a Mexican "fondue", which is served in a hot mortar made of lava rock (the traditional "molcajete"). Here some showmanship is on display, as the bubbly cheese is mixed with the mushrooms, sausage, etc. tableside, then served with warm tortillas. Simply delicious, though it might have been nice to have the option of cilantro (this herb was noticeably absent from all dishes, which would probably add an extra star for some people, but not me). Maybe the mains may be good too, but they are quite pricey...the dishes we had provided a nice variety, and I think were reasonably value for money. If you can arrive before 5pm, you can get your happy hour margaritas for $5, which also eases the pain. The refreshing margaritas do stand out as a beverage choice, as they have a large variety of flavours, made with real ingredients. For tequila aficionados, there are more available here than you can shake an oversized molonillo at. While our service was in general quite good, one area for improvement would be consolidating or at least guiding people through the many menus. We missed the separate taco menu completely (which is also not on the Web site), as it was lost in the shuffle of the tequila and drink menus, "What's fresh" menu, and regular menu. Be sure to find them all! I guess I'll have to come back... read more

Busy, fun & buzzy environment. Was surprised for it was a week night. Great service. Sat at the bar & my food order came out so quickly. I really wanted to try the big guacamole bowl but I was a single diner. The couple beside me ordered it and the chef prepares it fresh right in front of you. I ordered three tacos and all three were delish. Definitely coming back. read more
Passing by so many times, and it seems very packed; finally got a chance to try on last weekend. As what I thought, the food was just okay. The place is very nice, I guess that's why people enjoy spending time there hang out with friends. For me it's more like paying for the good atmosphere, but not the food. I ordered Tuna Poke for my lunch, lacking of flavour, very flat. Especially I had a good one at another place today, big comparison. I was thinking if I should give 3 or 2 stars. But since I do not think I will go again, so I gave 2 starts (places with 3 starts I may go again). read more

While our guacamole we drove all the way from Edmonton for was delicious, our service was not so delicious. I booked reservations for my mom and I and we were oddly disappointed when we were sat right by the door, a spot you'd think to leave for walk-ins? Everything seemed fine at first but eventually we never saw our server anymore. He ventured to every other table around us, but never took the time to ask us how we were doing. He never even brought us another bottle of water. We ordered a second round of drinks the one time he stopped by but we never got them. Shocking because we were also near the machine where orders are placed, so I don't understand how it could've been missed or forgotten about in such a short distance. It was supposed to be a fun night for my mom and I, but instead we felt ignored and like he didn't want to be our server. Not an ideal feeling to have towards your server. This wasn't our first time here but it might be our last because of how disappointing the service was. I expected better of this place, I recommend it to anyone who comes to Calgary but after this I don't feel like I can anymore. I suggest if you're going to book a reservation here maybe make a comment that you don't want to be sat by the door, might make your experience a bit better than ours was... location wise at least. read more

Thanks amigo! Hope to see you again soon.
I've been here on a couple of occasions and happily enjoyed myself each time. The music is fun, the decorations cool and the ambiance delightful. This is a fun Mexican restaurant and a loud one so if you are looking for a more intimate atmosphere....this is not your place! I've tried a variety of food items and not been disappointed. So far the chile rellenos, tacos and table side guacamole have been my favourites but I admittedly have a long ways to go (lots still to try). Another stand out that keeps me coming back is the Chile Coconut Margaritas - on the rocks. Holy delicious and they go down easy! I've always preferred on the rocks to the slushy version (no brain freeze). The staff have always been courteous, knowledgeable and helpful. And since they finally started taking reservations a couple months back I'm more willing to come here more often. Put it on your bucket list - good times! read more

First time going to this place. I love Mexican and we wanted to check it out. It's got a cool vibe. Busy, loud, cool decorations. I had an original margarita, we shared guac and tacos. Good margarita, decent guac, average tacos. The wild boar tacos were the best! The service was a bit of a bust. We had a waitress who was training so it wasn't the greatest but she tried hard. She had another guy training her. We asked him about ice cream options but he never came back to tell us so we just got the bill and left. Go here from 3-5pm to save $$$ at happy hour. read more
