Located in Zona Rosa, Anejo Modern Mexican Cuisine is a brand-new restaurant that beckons patrons with its vibrant atmosphere and a tantalizing fusion of Mexican and Southwestern flavors. Having recently dined at this culinary oasis, I am thrilled to share my experience.
Upon entering Anejo, you are enveloped in a warm ambiance that seamlessly blends modern aesthetics with traditional Mexican elements. The open space exudes an inviting charm, making it perfect for a great date night spot or a lively happy hour gathering with friends.
Now, let's talk about the star of the show: the food. Anejo's menu is a testament to creativity and craftsmanship. Their guacamole and queso are an absolute must-try. For the guacamole, the combination of perfectly ripe avocados, fresh herbs, and a hint of lime is a burst of flavor that sets the tone for the meal. For appetizers, the street corn and choriqueso are delightful choices, each showcasing a unique twist on classic Mexican fare.
Moving on to the entrees, the selection at Anejo is diverse and sure to please any palate. The carne asada, marinated to perfection and cooked with precision, practically melts in your mouth. Seafood enthusiasts will be delighted by the mojarra frita dish and the grilled fish. A friend of mine had “Angel’s Favorite,” a dish of grilled mahi mahi fish, and shrimp, cooked with mixed veggies, and he absolutely loved it.
The drink menu at Anejo is even more impressive, boasting an extensive list of tequilas and mezcal. The margaritas, in particular, are a crowd favorite, with the spicy jalapeño margarita providing a pleasant kick. They also have a painkiller margarita that will wash your cares from the busy week away with every sip. There is an incredible happy hour with great deals on specific drinks and appetizers on weekdays from 11 a.m. to 5 p.m.
Service at Anejo is attentive and friendly. The staff's knowledge of the menu is commendable, and they are more than willing to accommodate dietary preferences or allergies.
