Añejo Mexican Bistro

Wow! We had a great dinner at Anejo Mexican Bistro. We were immediately offered water, chips, and salsa upon our arrival. Our server was friendly and quite attentive. The puerco burrito was the BEST I've had. My daughter loved the fried pickles. This was a great experience!

What a breath of fresh air. In a sea of restaurants charging $50 for local cod or $47 for five scallops, it was refreshing to find a place that serves great food and drinks, offers free chips and salsa, and is dog-friendly. No wonder they were packed well past 9:00 p.m. on a Friday. The service was outstanding—our server checked in often and kept our water glasses full. Honestly, they should be teaching the folks over at Water Street Kitchen how it’s done. 10/10!

Fun popular Mexican with good and very potent margaritas, delicious Mexican tacos, salads, salsa, Queso, guacamole and more. Vegetarian friendly. Wonderful friendly waitstaff. Enjoy people watching too! 🇲🇽 🌮 🍹 🍹 🥑 🍻🎊😎

Well, we’ve given five stars to the categories, we have major complaints about your reservation process, or lack there of. There is no reason why in this day and age you can’t have people make a reservation and then show up and either get a table or if they’re late forfeit it. But to arrive and be told that you can put your name on the list and sometime in the next hour or two, maybe get a table does not seem like the most efficient way to run a reservation process. You lost a table tonight for four people who were very excited to come back and enjoy your restaurant but unfortunately That did not transpire. Your loss.

Been wanting to try this spot since moving to the cape and i have to say the food, service is on point. Very tasty and versatile menu. Highly recommend trying them out. The Fried plantations and pork shank is beyond amazing. Ill be coming back!!

We went here on a business luncheon, and I was very happy with the food, service, and ambiance. We were seated pretty quickly and decided on dining outdoors. The waiter and waitress came over quickly with chips and salsa and took our drink order while we looked over our menus. When she brought over our drinks, she took our orders, and our food came out promptly afterward. The food was great and the staff was super attentive and friendly. I will definitely go back again soon.

This is a good restaurant. The food was good, loved the chips and salsa and the outside seating was an excellent option for the beautiful day. Service was slow, that’s the only reason I didn’t give 5 stars. All in all, it was good experience.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant! I have never seen so many choices for different Margaritas🍸Our meals were amazing and well if you want an excellent server ask for Aaliyah!

The hubs and I went out for a late lunch on Saturday and had lunch at Añejo on Main Street in Falmouth, MA. The place was super busy due to there being a celebration for Halloween on that day. It was busy, but not overly loud. Our server was prompt and offered us some chips and salsa to start while we waited (not long) for our drinks. For lunch I ordered a new menu item, Scallop and Bacon Tostada with black beans, lettuce, avocado, sweet chili and cilantro crema. Not being a huge fan of cilantro (I am one of those to whom cilantro can taste like soap) but this was pleasantly 'easy on the cilantro'. This was absolutely delicious. The flavors were banging around in my mouth so nicely. The sweet scallops, the smoky bacon, the sweet chili, the creamy vegetal avocado, the crunchy lettuce and tostada all made for a delightful lunch. I'd go here again just for that dish!

Came again on a less busy day (Monday afternoon). We got a table outside pretty quickly. The food was just ok this time. Not as flavorful as the first time. Mocktails were still good. Service good - consistent with previous experience.

Really solid experience here. Place was boomin when we arrived but we're still able to be seated promptly. Great energy and ambiance inside. The bartenders were having a blast. Our waitress was really nice and helpful with recommendations, etc. Complimentary chips and salsa were very good. Nice crunch on the chips - wish the salsa was a little bit spicier. The cucumber marg fixed that issue tho cause it is spicy!! But also refreshing at the same time. Huge glass too; great value. Birria quesadilla was a very good sized portion and flavorful. I had the street corn (off the cob) and it was very smoky and delicious. We shared mahi mahi tacos and they were a good size and good flavor (and I don't particularly enjoy fish). A little salty but the side of spicy pickles that was included with the plate helped balance it out and were really good! Overall, this place is fun, has a massive tequila selection, great drinks and great food. Would highly recommend!

We had been here a few years back but this time we came for drinks only. Everyone had a great time. We had a few margaritas and beers. Their margaritas were the best. We also loved they had Modelo Negra on tap.

Hi, I'm Firulais and I love margaritas, Añejos, and Kate the bartender. I highly recommend this establishment. Thank you

My mom and I went here for dinner last weekend and thoroughly enjoyed our meal. Unfortunately we were seated outside in an alley-like area with no heat lamp coverage and I forgot to bring a jacket so I was chilly. Our server was nice and pretty consistent. We got guac, fried sweet plantains, and a house salad to start. All were really great except the guac isn't made tableside anymore which is too bad. The sauce with the plantains was incredible! I got fried fish tacos and my mom got the red chicken enchiladas. We actually ate too many chips before our entrees so we couldn't finish them, but the fish tacos were SO GOOD! The fish was so fresh and was fried perfectly but there was a bit too much breading imo. We don't go to Añejo often, but whenever we do it's delicious!

We have been waiting to try this Mexican restaurant but it's always packed! Today, for lunch we found out why. Wow! The service is top notch! The atmosphere is creative and relaxing. Plenty of room between tables. The menu is a pleasant surprise! Waaayyyy more than just thought they would have, including a brunch! I saw the French toast at the table next to me and thought, do I want lunch or brunch.... I went with lunch. The presentation of the food is second to none! You need to see the photos. There is very little wait before you eat. As soon as you sit, you get chips and salsa. Fresh and delicious. First drinks then she came for the order. BOOM the food came quick as we enjoyed the comfortable surroundings. I had a chimichanga and my wife had tacos! Fresh and delicious is the theme here. Very nice experience. Lastly, the menu does not tell you everything in the food, so ask if you have preferences. For example the chimichanga had onions and peppers in it. With all the ingredients listed, these were not. Over all great experience! Thank you for lunch!!!

4 of us arrived at 3:45 on a beautiful Saturday and all the outdoor tables were taken, the indoor bar had all seats full, and we scored the last available table inside. SERVICE: Aaron was our server, he was pleasant and knowledgeable of the menu. FOOD: The complimentary chips were fresh and the salsa was excellent, had wonderful flavor and was not watery. The queso dip was a good portion, $13, enough for the 4 of us to share and was tasty and hot with a spicy oil on the top giving it some heat. The calamari was excellent and cooked perfectly. The pork in the enchilada was on the dry side in sections. Some of it was ok. The pork in the tacos was very dry. The Mahi Mahi in the tacos was overcooked and very salty. BAR: Looks like a cool place to sit and eat, and around 4:30 several seats opened up. Margarita menu is extensive. Decoy chard was an average pour, $12. ATMOSPHERE: Indoors is crazy loud. We had trouble hearing our server describe certain dishes as well as having conversations without shouting. If you can score a seat outside, I'd recommend that for a more pleasant dining experience. You can get yourself on a waiting list online, and there is a free parking lot nearby for a short walk to the restaurant.

I had the cauliflower tacos and they were delicious! I appreciated gaming such a unique plant-based item on the menu. Staff was friendly, food came out quickly, and the place in general had a good vibe.

This is the place to be in Falmouth! My friends and I were on a weekend trip and decided to stop by for lunch while walking around the downtown area. It was pretty busy, but we were able to grab an outdoor table. Just be warned, some tables don't have a ton of shade, but there's still a big indoor area as well. If you're coming in the summer, though, I think it's nice to dine outside. For the food, I was thrilled when they brought out complimentary chips and salsa because we were all hungry. I ordered the Mole, which was delicious. If you're a fan of spice, ask for some of their hot sauce on the side, which packs a punch! My friends also enjoyed their entreés and those who ordered margaritas loved them as well. I would totally come back if I'm ever in the area again!

Food is amazing and drinks are great. Love the atmosphere and great date spot. However, I HATE any restaurant that has suggested tips STARTING at 20%. They go 20, 25, 30. Sorry worried in kitchens for 20 years. Pay your staff accordingly. The percent should never change from 15, 18, 20% and then you can go more for great service

Nice service, everyone we came in contact with was friendly and attentive. Tables were cleared quickly and everything was clean. The food was served timely and hot. Nice spices.

Stopped here to crab a quick dinner. I got their chili verde and it was delicious. My friend got veggie burrito and she was satisfied.

I absolutely loved our experience at Anejo and would recommend it to anyone! We stayed at a hotel about 15 min away so we called Anejo on our way out of the room to put our name on the waitlist. By the time we found parking and walked over, it was our turn to be seated! Our waitress was so kind and really quick! We placed drink orders and food orders right away. Our food came out before our drinks lol! Theyre SO fast! Our drinks came out minutes later and we dove in! The food was incredible. We got the fried fish tacos and chicken burrito. Everything was 10/10! It was a nice night out and we sat on the patio which had an amazing ambiance and great views of downtown Main St. Will be back every time I'm in Falmouth!

Not bad for the Cape! Slightly overpowering with the chipotle mayo on the dishes but it was a fun Cape cod take on Mexican. Busy spot and a great ambiance on an incredible street! Great for large or small groups

(Last visited 5/5/2022.) Up for the week vacationing in Cape Cod, specifically Falmouth and it's dinnertime! Right on the main strip in downtown Falmouth on Main Street is this gem. The first time we walked by it there was a GANG of folks outside enjoying themselves and a completely full restaurant inside! We couldn't even get a table the first time we tried so we made sure to spin the block later on in the week to try this place out! Atmosphere/Appearance: The outside is lined with tables PERFECT for people-watching along Main Street. Lol. It was decently warm outside and the umbrellas above each table helped keep the sun out of our eyes. However, INSIDE though... was so LIVE! The music was pumping, the decor was bright, exuberant, fun and uplifting! I absolutely loved it! Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but she was awesome. She was fun, energetic, personable and made sure that we had everything that we needed. Food: I started out with a Chorizo Potato Empanada which is a fluffy, flaky, crispy shell filled with Oaxaca-jack cheese, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, lime crema, salsa roja and topped with cotija cheese. It was HOT, temperature wise, but very delicious with an excellent balance of salty, savory and creamy flavors. For my entree I went with Langosta Enchiladas! I chose these because where else but Cape Cod can you get lobster in Mexican food?! So of course I had to try them! Inside the floury, cheesy tortillas were ancho-glazed local lobster and fire roasted corn with chipotle cream sauce then topped with Oaxaca-jack cheese and sour cream. The lobster was a lil' overcooked and the flavor was drowned out by everything else going on with the enchiladas, but I did enjoy the novelty of lobster-flavored Mexican food! Lol. They were served with refried beans and Mexican rice which were also delicious as well as filling. Value: It's Cape Cod so it's not gonna be cheap because this is sort of a vacation destination, even though people do live here year-round. My single empanada was $15.00. Yah, trippin'. My lobster enchiladas were $30.00. So yeah, bring an open mind and your check book if you'd like to check this place out. In conclusion, I really enjoyed this place, so much that we came back a 2nd time! Check this place out if you're in the area.

Anejo is my favorite restaurant to go to. If my family gets me a gift card, it's for Anejo's great food, wonderful location, and excellent atmosphere. Call ahead in the summer though because it's not easy getting a seat.

Eggs Benedict had hard boiled(!) yolks and bland pulled pork. I liked the service and the atmosphere though. My wife liked her shrimp and avocado with lime dish. We'll try again in the future, but will avoid anything that challenges them, like poaching an egg.

I went here for lunch at the recommendation of a local. They did not disappoint. I stopped in for lunch. Started with the Raspberry Margarita with the complimentary chips and salsa. Had the Lobster Bisque. Then finished off with the Steak Burrito. Everything was very flavourful and filling. Service was great and the restaurant was open and welcoming.

The tacos were very good, but the salad was lacking. The ingredients were not appropriately portioned. Our server was very nice and the restaurant tastefully decorated. Surprisingly good for a Mexican restaurant on the Cape!

Nice outdoor seating which is dog friendly which is a huge plus since we were traveling with our dog. The wait was not terrible for a Sat evening. We left our name at the host and they text us when the table was ready. Service was okay...we had to wait a while for our order to be taken. They eventually brought out chips and salsa so I guess that was a nice touch. Portions were decent and the food was delicious. I had a chicken quesadilla with added black beans which was pretty good. We also got the pulled pork burrito...this was yummy and quite filling. I would definitely come back.

It was OK. It wasn't the best I ever had and it was far from the worst I ever had. It seems that everything has to be covered in something in order to eat it. All natural is not too bad either. We ordered a whole bunch of dishes just to try a lot of stuff. Everything was pretty good. it was recommended by someone locally. Make a reservation, because you definitely don't wanna wait. And if you walk in without a reservation, they slightly looked down on you. Making the experience not so fun. I feel bad for all those people who were told they'd have to wait 90 minutes for a table. It's definitely a popular spot. They open for a late lunch also. Go in before it gets busy. I can't really recommend anything specific, it was all pretty much neutral. Try a few things.

We came in hoping for a quick snack before hitting the beach. Each table is greeted with a basket of chips and salsa, both of which were okay. We had the steak tacos with a side of guacamole. It was the perfect portion size for a quick snack, though I'm not sure many would consider it a meal on its own. The tacos were on the smaller size and were somewhat bare. In terms of flavor, they really needed some lime. The guacamole was also underseasoned, but hit the spot nonetheless. Looking around at other peoples' plates, I wouldn't have gotten anything else. Nothing looked appealing to the eye; I even noticed someone received completely burnt quesadillas. The restaurant was very loud and busy and we had a hard time getting a hold of our server when we wanted to pay. If you're looking for a quick bite, this place is a good option, though I wouldn't make a whole dinner out of it.

Two stars for amazing service. Zero stars for astonishingly tasteless food that literally tastes like absolutely nothing at all -- quite a feat for Mexican food.

Nice atmosphere with a healthy crowd surrounding you the entire time. Longer wait than usual for a menu that's consistent over time. Would like to see items added and a means to more easily to secure a reservation, versus walk up

Looking for a late evening bite and this was one of the few places still open. Ordered 3 tacos - fish, a bit on the dry side, chicken, a bit bland, and pork, juicy and flavorful. It comes with complementary chips and salsa. The salsa almost tasted like pasta sauce. Service was decent, but they were really busy so the staff wasn't by much. Prices are to be expected in this area. Street parking is limited.

First time here. We shall be back! Nice outdoor seating. Friendly wait staff. Loved our waitress. Complimentary chips and salsa....yummy. The hubs ordered a taco salad and I had the pork carnitas quesadilla. Food was delicious. I might order the quesadilla again and again because it was that good. The pork carnitas was so tender and the portion was generous.

Alright, as someone who grew up in the Southwest, I consider myself a pretty competent authority on Mexican food. I used to live on cape cod and visited Anejo more times than I can count. Through all my years living back east, Anejo was the only Mexican restaurant that not only compared to, but rivaled many of the Mexican restaurants out west. I swear I never had a bad meal here. Everything was always fresh, and you could tell that all the ingredients were made/prepared in-house. Their taco Tuesday deal in the winter was something I looked forward to every week. The ambiance is great and the inside of the restaurant is very nicely decorated. If you're ever on the cape, Anejo is a must visit.

Everyone i was with really enjoyed their meals and the margaritas were phenomenal! We sat outside and the inside was dark but nice. Considering we had a group of 8 the service was quick and pretty impressive.

Outstanding Mexican restaurant. All fresh ingredients and just delicious. The quahog was a great appetizer. Great salads and the cod dish is exceptional. Of course you must have a margarita and the coconut one pictured here was one of the best. Outdoor dining and great service! Make a reservation!

We had a last minute reservation for a Sunday birthday celebration. Even though we arrived on time we had more than a half hour wait to be seated. Granted the restaurant was extremely busy. Other than that the experience was 5 stars all around. Everyone was happy with their meal. The wait staff was efficient and accommodating. And the bill was surprisingly reasonable.

OK guys. I couldn't decide if I was going to give this place a 2 or 3 star. In my opinion, if it was up to me, I give it a 2. I'm familiar with good authentic Mexican food when I taste it and I cook it often. However, my kids thought the food was really good. The waitress was super nice and accommodating so service is a 5 and we had a nice outdoor table, so I give ambience a 5. The fancy drinks were yummy, I will give them that. The salsa was fantastic and perfect as well. My daughter liked her steak Street tacos and my other daughter enjoyed her enchilada. My meal, however, was an epic fail. I ordered the shrimp tostada. There was more lettuce on it than anything else and the shrimp, which was hard to find, was tasteless and few. The guacamole was literally smashed avocado with no fiesta to it. Sorry, I will not return. ~Nini

We love Anejo! Food and margaritas are incredible. We love the spicy mango margarita and the carnitas tacos are so so good. I had the Rojas enchiladas and those were killer. We can't wait to go back. Great vibe and waitstaff are fantastic. We love the bar!!

The bf and I went twice over a 3-day trip to the Cape for New Years. The first time, we went for a couple of drinks only (no food) and sat at the bar. The bartenders were quick and friendly. He got the cucumber margarita which was light and refreshing. I went with the Anejo Manhattan and boy, was it strong! Yes, Manhattans are supposed be strong. I'd never had one with tequila before and it was a different world. It took me a while to finish, but it was good. We got free chips and salsa as soon as we sat down as well, so that was a nice touch. When we were cashing out, we were given a red envelope that held some sort of discount if used between Jan 1 and Jan 31 which is what prompted us to return on Jan 1. There was no bar seating available the afternoon of Jan 1, so we got a table. We couldn't open our coupon until we were in front of a staff member which was smart of them - if you opened it at home and didn't like the coupon, you wouldn't return. Not knowing made us return out of curiosity! Ha. Ours ended up being a free order of wings which were normally $14. Not too shabby. So, the bf got the habanero wings and I got a chicken chimichanga with a side of guac. The food was pretty tasty and the portions were large. The habanero wings had a kick, apparently. My chimichanga was yummy - crispy on the outside and filled with yummy chicken, cheese, etc on the inside. The side of guac was also tasty and they gave a good portion - definitely enough to accompany my chimichanga. The one downside of that visit was my drink. I made the mistake of ordering off-menu and asked if the bartender would be able to make a pineapple martini. They had pineapple in some of their margaritas, so I didn't think it would be hard to create a drink with pineapple and vodka. I don't know what they did, but it was one of the worst drinks I've ever had. The aftertaste was bitter and just... bad. I asked the server for a side of simple syrup to sweeten it up and it didn't help at all. The on-menu drinks were good. I would totally go back for a margarita, but I shouldn't have ordered off menu. My bad. I paid for that decision... Ha. Anyway - good service, food and margaritas. Also loved that they stay open in the winter. I would return.

Superb atmosphere and superior food! Always busy so be prepared to get there early. Outside dining is wonderful.

1st time there good food. Had the pollo chimichanga and a great coconut margaritas! Service was good. Ambiance is nice

Horribly overpriced. Extremely tiny portions. The lobster bisque took me about three bites to finish. The fried pickles were disgusting. Do not recommend this place in the slightest.

Had a great experience here. Food was so tasty and the environment was very cool. Drinks were flowing and we forgot all about the ferry we missed.

My favorite restaurant ever and i'm not lying. I will say there are some items that are hit or miss (certain tacos) but this salad & the chicken tacos are my go to every time, they're so good! the raspberry mojito & spicy pineapple margarita were also amazing! also the chips and salsa are soooo good! i ask to go here every weekend lol!

Great location if you like to people watch. Very good fresh food especially the guacamole

Love the atmosphere here. Can go for a girls dinner, to watch the Celtics, or just have a delicious meal with your family. Turns into more of a bar at night and becomes pretty lively. They have my favorite salad on cape cod (the shrimp and avocado).

One of my favorite restaurants in Falmouth. Open late, with a delicious menu. Eaten here many times, always delicious. Lovely to sit outside as well.

We ate here on a Monday around oneish and there was a decent lunch rush, especially for the off-season (December). We ordered the calamari mojo and the Baja fish tacos. The calamari was really unique and tasty! And the fish tacos were reportedly great. Service was also good. We just moved into the area and would definitely return!

I would give them a 3.5, but round up because I think they are much better than I enjoyed my food. I got the beef chimichanga, which was huge and delicious, except for the red sauce on the top, which had a bit of sweetness to it, which I do not care for. My partner got the enchiladas, which she loved (and couldn't finish, as it was also a LOT of food). Service and atmosphere were both well above average. It was crowded, during the offseason, and was recommended to me by someone who's recommendations I trust, so you will probably have a good experience if you dine there.

Another terrific meal at Anejo tonight, This may be my favorite Mexican restaurant of all time, and I've been to Mexico! Well done!

Had to go back. This is by far my favorite restaurant we've tried on our month at the Cape. I love everything I've eaten here. The queso fundido is ridiculous. Save your chips to eat it with. The plantains were consistently amazing. Got the fish with the corn this time and holy crap it was good! I want to go back at least one more time before we leave!! But OH MY GOD PLEASE CHANGE YOUR "RESERVATION" SYSTEM!

Our server, Bridget, was awesome!!! She was cool, was friendly, and had great recommendations for a newbie. Ask for her as a waitress!

I stopped at this restaurant for a quick lunch and it was quite busy but I was seated right away. I ordered some wine and the tres tacos. I was served really quickly which was great! The tacos were very yummy and the complementary chips and salsa were also tasty. The tres tacos came with some type of cucumber salad on the side and it was SO GOOD. I ate every bite of it! If I had one critique I would say that the meat was pretty dry on the tacos. However, the toppings made up for that. The servers were nice and I really enjoyed the outdoor seating off to the side of the building. Also, the prices are reasonable for what you get. I'll be sure to come again!

Food is generally good, although they sometimes make some strange fusion dishes that don't totally make sense for mexican flavors. The place is small and won't take reservations so you can expect a wait. Large selection of tequila and good micheladas. They can make their veggie burrito vegan and it is very good!
