First time trying out this restaurant. The 3 of us ordered in. I ordered the Del Rio (switched the carne molida enchilada for a cheese enchilada), my Dad ordered the Summer Special, and my sister ordered the cheese enchilada plate. We also all shared a cup of queso. Mine did not come with guacamole like the menu said it would. It also would not let me pick beans as a side item. Little mistakes can be forgiven though, especially because the rest of the order was so delicious. The chips and salsa were pretty tasty! I wish they'd given more than just one side of salsa. The queso was tasty as well. The portions of meat, flavor, and freshness were all spot on. Nothing was overly salty like some Tex-Mex restaurants fall guilty to. The rice had some spice, but was very good. The addition of corn was a fave for all of us. Definitely will want to dine-in here at some point. Until then though, I'll continue ordering take-out from here. read more

First time we tried Anaya's. Based on Yelp's reviews, I picked Durham location and we, my husband and I, had a great time! Amara was amazing! She took care of us!She should be the "marketing manager" of this restaurant because she knows what to recommend and she knows their products/food! She's very professional, attentive, friendly and warm! CUSTOMER SERVICE: 100/10 I ordered a sampler "Botana Platter" --it's huge and delicious! My husband's beef fajitas was very delicious too! He loved it! I ordered frozen margarita and it's SOOO good! FOOD: 5/5 This place is a little bit old, but very clean. It has the "authentic" vibe. AMBIENCE: 4/5. We will definitely come back!! read more

Everything was so good! We went for brunch and our waiter, Wayne was so nice and attentive! We will Be back and highly recommend the brunch service here! read more

I havent had that great of a service in a long time. Our waitress brought refills before we even asked and always checking in with us with such authentic kindness. In a lot of places it always tends to be awkward asking for to go boxes but our waitress was so willing to help us with providing everything we need or want to take with us without seeming like we were a burden. Food was also really good. It was moist and flavorful! Tomato sauce really felt homemade in such a great way. read more

Popped in to kill some time because my friends were gonna be late to dinner at another location and this pop in made me realize how much of a staple cyclone is! I only had an espresso martini but it was great and so were the chips and salsa! Sometimes an unexpected visit will make you remember how good and simple and establishment is!

We had an amazing time at Cyclone Anaya City Centre With the greatest Manager Lorena and our server Brook. The food was excellent and the taste was signature that only Cyclone can provide. The GM. Ike came and greeted us and welcome us back as we are regular guest. Joel the bartender did a great job on our drinks it felt like a tropical getaway. We love Cyclone Anaya. The experience is like no other. Cheers!!! The Owen Family read more

This was my first visit, but likely not my last. I liked the friendly service, the restaurant design and the food. I settled on the Enchilada Trio after discerning that the chef did offer my favorite, ...chicken enchiladas with sour cream sauce. As a concession, the waitress brought a serving of sour cream on the side. The trio consisted of a carne molida enchilada (ground beefy goodness), a chicken tinga enchilada (shredded chicken and tomato spiciness) and a nice cheese enchilada. All were covered in a savory red sauce that made me forget about sour cream sauce (at least for the duration of the meal!) I washed the enchiladas, rice, beans and tortilla chips down with a Crawford Bock. Good food, good drink and good service, ...another safistying Sunday dining experience with family. read more

Fairly certain we were at this location while visiting relatives. Very solid meal and enjoyed by all. The best thing was the attentive and sweet waitress. The chips and salsa was liked by all. Hubby and I both got brisket meals (I got tacos and he got enchilada) as it was somewhat unique to us. Kids got a huge portion of fries with their chicken tender kids meal they shared. Fries were super good. Margarita was good too. It was very lively on a Saturday night. We enjoyed the decor, company and food. Recommended! read more

It wasn't my favorite dish because of the heaviness. I liked it at 1st but not the more I ate it. However, the staff were really friendly and they made accommodations for us to have mimosas! They also did a promotional deal to take off $10 from your order if you sign up for membership! It was such a steal! Interior was a typical tex Mex place with more wooden furnishings and pictures on the wall telling the story of the founding of the restaurant chain. read more

We stopped in for happy hour and had a really pleasant experience. Roberto took great care of us -- he was attentive and kind, and checked in on us throughout the meal. The margaritas were a great deal with the $1 off happy hour special, and the queso was fantastic. We also really loved the sautéed vegetables -- they were flavorful and delicious. We tried the fajitas as well; they were decent, along with the tortillas and beans -- simple and classic. Overall, the atmosphere was nice, the food was enjoyable, and Roberto helped make the visit a good one. read more

Our server was so amazing, very attentive, and patient with us as we had to wait on the other half of our party for a bit, but he didn't rush us at all! This was my first time at this Cyclone Anaya's location and I think it may have been my favorite experience. I ordered the Ultimate margarita on the rocks, strong but so good 9/10. For entrée I got the Camarones Bomba Tacos and wow it was hard to stop eating these even though I was full! The batter on the shrimp was perfect, light and crispy plus the sauce on them was divine definitely 10/10! Atmosphere was great as always, a little quieter too since we came on a Wednesday. Highly recommend and will be back! read more

It's been ages since I've had Cyclone Anaya's and after my recent visit, I was reminded why it's been so long. Long story short I think there are better restaurants for Tex Mex. I have to say the red salsa is still as I remember it. The consistency was just right. We went out of our comfort zone and got the brisket enchiladas and the enchilada trio. On a Friday night the restaurant was kind of dead for dinner, but for some reason, it took them almost 30 minutes to prepare our food. There was nothing really noteworthy for the enchiladas. They were bland and doused in the red sauce. The sides were on point. The black refried beans and their spin on Brussel sprouts were my favorite. Our server was very professional. He kept checking in and refilling our drinks, asking if we needed anything. Food quality/taste, and kitchen speed was totally out of his control. read more

Ms. Tina was a very great server. The food was good the drinks were cold. Enjoyed our visit

I've been to this Cyclone Anaya's before and loved it, so I stupidly thought that it would be a great place to take my mom for her 70th birthday. Boy was I wrong. As soon as we arrived, the atmosphere was bleak. The servers didn't look happy or upbeat. Our food took an hour to get to us and then when it did get to us, the food sucked. Shrimp tacos was basically cut up little bits of shrimp covered it thick batter. Some of the "shrimp" pieces were just batter. The flautas were unedible. We let them know that it was my mom's 70th birthday, they didn't care. No surprise piece of cake for her, but by the end we just wanted to leave. We thought my mom would have a wonderful time, but it was just embarrassing. I will never go back, it was that bad. I don't know what happened from our last time to now but even the server said that since they have gotten new management the food and service has gone downhill. It is too late to bring me back here but I really think they will not be around for too much longer. read more

In love with the brisket empanadas!! Sandy was very sweet and helped us enjoy our time here, thank you!

I'm always game for fresh, flavorful dishes. Cyclone Anaya's is perfect for large parties (we had 8 people) as well as smaller tables. The expansive menu offers the very best of Tex-Mex cuisine, ranging from sizzling fajitas to empanadas to enchiladas. Fret not about parking, as there are ample spots available right next to the restaurant. Also, their margaritas pack a punch and taste best shared with a friend! read more
