Anejo Mexican Bistro

Food was good . Service was good. We ordered queso with our drinks but everything came at once, including our tacos. Lively place . It was a bit loud , hard to have a conversation. Overall a good place to eat. Just wasn't great.

What a lovely spot! My first time visiting this restaurant and it did not disappoint. We opted to eat under the huge and shady beech tree, and I’m so glad we did. In spite of the day being hot, it was shady, breezy and quite magical to dine under this majestic tree! The food was great - not at all “Taco Bell” type Mexican. It was fresh and tasty and not at all greasy and heavy. I had a chicken quesadilla and others had the fish tacos - which looked really great. I also had a fruity and refreshing sangria. Overall a lovely experience and I will def be returning. There is plenty of parking in a free public lot directly across the street and only a short walk to Anejo. I recommend you try it!

Killer habanero chicken wings! And half price from 4-5 M-F! $3.00 tacos on Tuesdays. Good, but not great. Excellent service, pricey margaritas.. interesting, but good key lime flan!

What a lovely dining experience!! Seems to be a truly popular spot, as folks kept coming especially for Taco Tuesday ( the day we went for lunch). The tacos were $3 each and were definitely delish!! Authentic Mexican food and cocktails. The service was very nice . Beautiful ambiance , except a little too much sun if you sit at the front table behind the host stand. Maybe a half shade would be helpful. I bet it's beautiful at moonlight, though. The chips and salsa were amazing, as well as the quesadillas , scallops, and lobster mac and cheese The menu looks teasing, and all we have was really delish!

Usually this is a very crowded spot. Discovered this weekend they do brunch on Sundays and we got right in at 11am. Food and service are always excellent. The best fried plantains I’ve had in this country.

Food was good! A bit on the pricier side but still slapped. The margaritas were good too. The house margarita was a bit on the blander side, and the spicy was actually *spicy* which was a pleasant surprise. Service was a bit slow. It wasn’t super duper busy, there were empty tables and people were leaving more than they were coming. It took longer than expected to get drinks and order food. Hey at least there was free chips and salsa. I’d come here again if I wasn’t in a time crunch in any way.

Overall one of the best places I've ever eaten. I have never felt more compelled to give a place a 5 star review than here. The prices were great, the food was delicious, and the service was fantastic. Also a beautiful place to eat. Highly recommend!

Stopped in at Anejo for lunch before a show & wasn't sure if we'd be able to be seated in time as it was busy. Luckily for us, the wait was only about 25 min. We found some seats at the bar & we were greeted promptly as well as offered chips & salsa. I ordered a raspberry mojito, which was delicious & refreshing! The host takes down your phone number & you get a link sent to your phone so you can track how long you've been waiting as well as see how many parties are ahead of you. Our estimated wait time was accurate & the waiters were just as friendly & attentive as the bartenders. I ordered the langosta (lobster) enchiladas, which were amazing! Portions were large, but I managed to finish it without having any leftovers. It was that good! I can't wait to try the Plymouth location that opened recently!

I ordered the Lobster Taquito's. They were excellent, but the problem was... there was zero lobster in them. It was all Chorizo! I showed the waitress the inside and asked... "where is the lobster?" I thought it was just a simple mistake. I was told it was puréed into a mix. I could not taste even a trace of lobster, never mind see any lobster. I paid and went on my way without argument. My point is..... if I ask and PAY for Lobster... I want to be able to SEE it!!! Also, I want to taste it, when I PAY for it! Bad 1st impression!

I grew up on the cape but lived in CA for a long time. This Mexican food is the best I have had on the cape. Tacos and Enchiladas are fantastic. Taco salad, wings, black bean soup...all fresh and delicious. Great interior, nice aesthetics and vibe. And the service is friendly and proficient.

Really cool atmosphere and a great place to grab drinks and a bite with some friends. I can't say the food was phenomenal (maybe I'm just picky with mexican) but the pricing is fair and the service was great. I would recommend this place for sure.

I was in town for business from So. Cal and was looking for a good place to eat dinner and wind down with co workers. This place was recommended to us and it hit the spot. Ambiance was on point. Clean, modern and inviting. Server was attentive and food selection was plentiful. Ordered a Paloma and it was outstanding. Top 5, very memorable. Food portion was just right. Food items seem to have a little fusion vibe to it; ie. sweet potatoes with chorizo (a must try). Reasonably priced. I enjoyed everything about this restaurant and will certainly go back next time I'm in the Cape.

Two years in a row we celebrated New Year's Eve w Añejo and so glad we did. Sat in the bar building with the open ceilings. Such a cool room. Simply stated - one of the best meals we had in 2023, and we saved it for the last possible night. Started with the street corn and you can't go wrong. I had the special short rib, and the flavor was out of this world. Wish I could describe it, but the layering of flavors was too much for my simple mind to translate to other than incoherent babble. It was amazing. There was nothing but a garnish left when I was done. Wife had the sweet potato salad with mahi mahi and it was tremendous. She reports that the fish was perfect. Service was on point, and a great last meal of '23.

Really good service. As soon as we sat down, we had chips, salsa and water. The house margarita was $12.50, but was tasty and full bodied. I ordered the chicken thighs and rice dish and was tremendously impressed. The rice was moist and the entire dish was flavorful. Would return here in a heartbeat

Recent visit was a solid 3.5-4 stars, but I'm confident that this place could/should be at a 4.5 rating. The issue is consistency! Chips and salsa (complimentary) were absolutely fantastic! Some of the freshest chips and perfectly spiced salsa I've had in a while! The appetizer we got (Birria Quesadilla) was likewise really great. Texture, flavor, condiments all worked very well together. Our entrees (aside from the Tres Enchiladas which were overall quite good) were each just lacking in one or more areas. I got the Taco Trio (sampler). The chicken was amazing (9.5/10), the carne asada was good but a little lacking in flavor/some rough meat (7/10), but the pork was so dry as to almost be leather (2/10). Very disappointing! The Chicken over rice entree was great in terms of the rice (cool idea with the risotto!), but the chicken again was overly dry. We all agreed this dish could have benefited from the addition of some other flavor "pop." Perhaps plantain? Service was fair but nothing special, and ambiance was quite nice (back room was interesting!). Wondering if we'll venture back to give it another go.

Upon arriving at Añejo last night, we were "greeted" by a group of three hosts that were simply just rude and uninviting. They looked us up and down with what felt like a judgmental glare and it seemed like they barely wanted to give us a table and then sat us in the back corner of the restaurant by the kitchen. This kinda ruined the whole experience for us because we just felt unwelcome right from the start. Our server ended up being really nice so that was a relief, but the food was sub-par at best. The queso kinda just tasted like a bechamel with hot sauce on top, the elote was kinda odd but not terrible, and my quesadilla was alright but nothing i'd come back for. really disappointed because i heard a lot of great things.

Trust me, I've really enjoyed this place. Good Massachusetts Mexican, tasty drinks, lovely atmosphere inside and especially out back under the massive tree. Real special spot. But Monday eve? What is it, "I just turned 21" night? You'd think it would be a good local vibe. But all under 25s? And a bartender who was too busy on her instagram or whatever to serve me? I love dropping into a bar solo some nights when I'm home but not this joint. Weird highschool job vibes and a distinct lack of respect. And if one more bloody person calls me "boss". How about "sir" next time thanks. Party on bro...

Awesome spot on Main Street Hyannis. The back patio is where it's at - absolutely gorgeous! It's literally built around a large tree. I'm so glad we were seated back here! Outdoors is also dog friendly! There was quite a wait, even in May, but you can add your name to the wait-list and walk around Main Street. For a Saturday afternoon, we waited about 45 minutes. We weren't sure what we wanted so we got a little bit of everything. The margs were huge!! They also provide chips & salsa which is always a treat. Our favorite dish was the chorizo fundido - so cheesy and flavorful! It's a must order! The Flautas de Pollo were also very good and something I don't see very often. Would absolutely be eating here again next time were in Hyannis!

Amazing service and delicious drinks! Back porch was very nice for drinks and apps and Ava L was amazing with her service and recommendations!!

What a lovely environment. We sat in the back under a giant tree and surrounded by chic, modern decor that was friendly and inviting. The food was very good. The salad was a sizable portion and tasty but did have a lot of dressing. The Baja tacos were covered in a delicious sauce but the fish could have used more seasoning. The tres tacos were delicious and offered a nice sampler of the menu. The service was quick and attentive for how busy it was. There are a lot of Mexican restaurants on this strip and for quality, ambiance and portion, this is in my own opinion the best place. Would recommend.

I got a regular margarita and the Baja. Both were very good! Also, loved the atmosphere. We sat outside of the tree. Would definitely go again.

Service was very good even though the place was packed on a Friday night. I had the grilled shrimp salad with a coconut lime dressing and it exceeded my expectations, super delicious. Also had a cocktail that also did not disappoint. Ambience was very casual with inside and outside seating.

Came by for Memorial Day weekend and it was packed! We were able to get a table around 9pm on Saturday after about a 15 min wait. We ordered drinks at the bar while we waited and the mango margarita was pretty good! Once we were seated we ordered a few apps. The corn off the cob had an up charge to "take it off the cob," it was actually just corn kernels with some cheese. I would not recommend it, it was terrible. We also had the calamari & fried plantains. Both were delicious! Highly recommend both of those apps, especially the plantains. We also had micheladas and they were quite spicy. Reasonably priced and bar service was good even though they were slammed. The tree makes this place. Always a fun time and the rating is really more for the ambiance & service.

Amazing food. Tremendous service. Fun setting. Always a great great experience. My favorite place. Dos tamales. Tres tacos. You're welcome. Enjoy!

Sat outside on a sunny day under the huge tree in the back and it was lovely! Waiters are nice and attentive. Loved the fish tacos - they were well flavored and slightly spicy. Loooveeeeddd the pickles on the side! We tried a few margaritas and thought the flavors were good but slightly watered down

We had the most delicious meal!! Service was excellent and quick. Drinks were top notch. We finished the meal with the fried ice cream!! Over the top good

JC from Westchester ; We are back at Anejo in Hyannis, and as usual it did not disappoint the food was excellent and the waitress who's name I can't remember was really nice and took excellent care of my group of seven If your in the cape or visit the cape stop by and have a great meal under this beautiful tree they have, amazing stuff Ciao Remember Mangia bene Vivi bene

Stopped into Anejo for their "Taco Tuesday" deal and left happy. This was my first dining experience in their new lounge area, which was really cool. It's very vibey in there- dark patterned wallpaper, a velvet couch in the waiting area, some pops of neon pink. Great atmosphere! Our server was funny and helpful, our food came out quickly and was delicious. My friend and I sampled all the tacos on the $3 taco menu, lots of unique flavors and a good way to get a filling meal for cheap! Anejo is a perfect spot for girls night out or a date!

We had a large group, waited for a table to accommodate our 12. The hostess was not happy. Our waitress Julie was great and attentive. Great Birria Quesadilla. The Saffron risotto I ordered was very dry and had too much of an unpleasant spice (too much achiote? Saffron is too expensive to waste)I doubt it was too much saffron due to price.

I wish I took more pictures of our food! Everything was presented nicely and it was all delicious! I would definitely go back again. I had the tres enchiladas and brought home more than half of my meal. My daughter had the classic burrito and brought most of it home... but she wanted to save room for the churros and chocolate dessert! My husband had the beef chimichanga! Can't wait to go back again soon!

We finished our trip to the cape with an outdoor lunch here on their gorgeous patio and it was the perfect end to a getaway. The service was great, we loved the food and drinks, and the beautiful decor and ambiance of the patio. Big plus that they had grilled chicken and corn on the kids menu and my kid actually ate it!

Have had dinner here twice and not been disappointed. The ambiance is great, food and service excellent. Highly recommend.

Beautiful environment inside and out. In warm weather you can sit outside under a beautiful large beech tree that is lit up at night time . So beautiful! Food and service were great .

Incredible dinner here ! I got one of the best Salmon dishes I have ever had. It comes with crispy saffron risotto which was TO DIE FOR!!! My Fiancé got the beef chimichanga and loved it. The drinks are balanced and tasty. The atmosphere is cool and laid back. Don't get the Queso lol. That was the only miss. It wasn't smooth and creamy it was weirdly gritty and lacked flavor. The bartender was friendly and quick. We had a great time !

This is the best Mexican-inspired food I've had. My wife and I ate here with a large group, so we got to try a little bit of everything. Among our samplings: Chipotle Beef Chimichanga, Pollo Elotes Tacos, Chorizo Fundido, and Spicy Fried Pickles. Everything was outstanding, especially the chimichanga and fried pickles. While the food and table service were great, the bar service was bizarre. My wife (29) and I ordered drinks while waiting for dinner. We were happy to provide IDs when requested to do so. The bartender informed us they needed two forms of ID for service. My wife didn't have her credit cards with her because I had mine, so she only had her ID. The bartender started to berate my wife for not having an alternate form of ID. My wife canceled her drink order since she didn't have an alternate ID. The bartender continued to question her about why she wasn't carrying at least a credit or debit card, then turned magnanimous and told my wife she'd "let it slide this time" and served her. I don't understand why the bartender would insist on this policy only to ultimately violate it, after my wife canceled her drink order. Overall, this bartender's approach was way too intense in a situation that didn't call for it and didn't make a good first impression. I'm glad we stuck around and had a nice dinner, but these are the sorts of situations that cause people to take their business elsewhere.

Would've gone 4 1/2 stars if available. Had a great first time experience here. Cool vibe, good drinks, and some really good food. Service was friendly and on point. Wouldn't hesitate to go back when in the area.

This place is great! All the food is good but my go to meal is the Mahi-mahi tacos. Fish is fresh and and the servings are just right. The staff is attentive, environment is great.

One of my favorite restaurants on the cape. The food is incredible. Some of my favorite items: Chipotle Stung Lobster Bisque, Lobster Taquitos, Grilled Veggie Burrito, Baja (Cod) Tacos, Cauliflower Tacos, Fried Avocado Tacos, and the Churros with Chocolate and Strawberries. The margaritas are great, I am a fan of the Caliente Mango. My wife loves the Raspberry Mojito. Everyone I have sent here raves about it.

Great food, great cocktails, all good. Only wish they took reservations because it is always packed!

Anejo is our go to anytime we stop in Hyannis or are meeting friends from Boston while on Cape. The food here is amazing, guac is fresh and tasty, tacos are awesome and burritos are great. My favorite dish is the lobster taquitos which I've not seen anywhere else! Weather permitting, I highly recommend eating outside under their massive tree!

Wow! Great food, great service, beautiful atmosphere!!! If you have the opportunity to dine outside, ask to sit out back. It's magical!!!

Awesome complimentary chips and spicy salsa, the beef chimichanga was amazing. Not spicy which works for me and the beef was tender like pot roast, not cheap ground beef. When in the area I would def repeat

Big place best Mexican food in the cape !!!! Been here many times and it is always amazing

i'm very disappointed with anejo tonight. i'm a frequent customer have never had a complaint until now. My boyfriend and i went for drinks for valentines tonight, we just wanted some chips and were planning to take out. Our server was not great. Had a bit of an attitude, and took waaaaay too long (at least 30min) just to get us more chips. (it wasn't that busy we just got there as it was slowing down) We finally order takeout after waiting another 30-45 min for her to come back over. We check out and i asked for the street corn. i got SCREWED and only got just corn in a cup nothing on it. IM EXTREMELY disappointed by this. Anejo has a great reputation so i don't know what happened tonight.

One of our fav spots on Main Street! Delicious drinks and yummy fish tacos! Girls dinner last night. Lukas and Zach were awesome behind the bar. Highly recommend!

We went on Cinco de Mayo, it was very well organized although packed, the service was good. The chips and salsa were fresh and very delicious. We had guacamole which was to die for. The margaritas were on point the spicy mango margarita was so yummy! I had the Tres tacos, Mahima he was so fresh, not fishy best taco I've ever had. Everyone loved their food. This was the best meal we had on the Cape.

Excellent tacos! Great service Wonderful salsa!! Next time I'm back I'll be doing dinner

This place was packed on a Saturday night even at 9 PM. We only had to wait 15 minutes for our table though which was good. I got the house margarita with a Grand Mariner floater since they didn't have a separate Cadillac margarita. The margarita was pretty good. The salsa that came with the chips tasted like tomato paste and didn't have much flavor. The nachos were huge and was more of a taco salad on top of a few chips. It looked like a pizza when it came out instead of typical nachos piled on top of each other.

We temporarily relocated to the Cape for work and live out of a hotel which essentially means we will become very well acquainted with Hyannis' restaurant scene. It became evident very early on that Anejo was a highly recommended and popular spot. At around the same time, it became evident that this place is harder to get into than the White House. The first time we attempted to dine here was a Friday night in August at around 7:30pm which honestly was stupid as fuck and the wait was 90 minutes but what the fuck did we expect? Anejo playing hard to get just solidified our determination and we tried again that following Monday at around 6:30. The wait was 45 min. Did I mention that we don't wait? Sigh. They had us wrapped around their little finger at this point. Desperation emanated from every pore and we returned the following Tuesday aka THE NEXT DAY at mother fucking 5:30pm with intermittent RAIN and much to my surprise there were plenty of empty tables. We were seated under the iconic beech tree that's like older than the earth itself or something. I have to say, I don't know what is poisoning the water in CC these days but the service every single place we have been has been absolutely excellent and this place was no different. Our server was personable, friendly, and took excellent care of us. Because of the excessive eating out, I need to watch my fucking calories. I adore the fact that they have a skinny cocktail menu because you know I'm not going to cut out the alcohol. I ordered the pineapple jalapeño skinny marg and GF the blood orange skinny marg. They were both delicious and both had a nice kick. Despite the gen Z girl diner at the table next to us' view that spicy drinks are "absolutely disgusting" (genuinely wondering whether this girl is old enough to drink lmao), I respectfully disagree. You would never know they were "skinny". Their menu deviates somewhat from the standard Mexican-restaurant-in-Amurica fare, Instead of a gazillion things, the menu is smaller but more defined and had a twist, including fried pickles, for example. Most categories had some vegetarian options. GF and I decided to do a splitsies with our ordering and shared everything. I am THE OG NACHO BITCH so despite the shit I said before about dieting, I had to try theirs which we noted immediately was more of an LA distribution (GF prefers to describe it as "communist" nachos) which means a very thin layer of chips where every chip is covered with toppings. At Anejo, the toppings include refried beans, lettuce (which unfortunately is the boring iceberg), Oaxaca-jack cheese, pickled jalapeño, cortina cheese, picante crema (which is SEX btw), pico de gallo (kindly placed on the side at my request), and guacamole is stated on the menu but this is fake news because there was none of that shit. Nevertheless, the nachos were fantastic. They must have special nacho chips because they are the biggest tortilla chips I have ever seen, I kid you not, they are like the size of a pizza and hold so many toppings!!! GENIUS. This shit was fucking delicious. We also shared the Coliflor Frita tacos with crispy habanero cauliflower, corn tortillas, blue cheese dressing, onion, cilantro, and golden raisins. We were warned that the cauliflower is spicy, it's not and I'm as white as they come. We questioned the inclusion of golden raisins in a cauliflower taco but it works. The tacos come with their spicy fried pickles on the side which is a plus. The pickles are not "fried" with a breading in the traditional sense, I'm not sure why they are called "fried" because they are essentially just seasoned pickled slices. The diet comes in with our order of the La Casa salad with mixed greens, tomato, avocado, cortina cheese, onion, cucumber, and a spiced lime vinaigrette. I adored this salad. It had all of the fresh Mexican flavors in a healthier package and I felt better about myself after eating it. Finally, we also ordered a side of their rice and beans. The beans are good but a touch too salty for my taste. The rice has that mouthwatering rice seasoning and goes down easy. I would also like to say the chips and salsa they give you are also incredible. The chips are normal sized but crispy and some of the best tortilla chips I've had. The salsa is also less chunky, which I prefer, but provides an incredible flavor. You already know that the ambiance of this place under that ancient tree is something special and unique that you can't get anywhere else. I also just noticed that you can add yourself to the waitlist on their website so now I can live there.

We LOVE anemia. Which is crazy because we usually don't love Tex mex. We have been to the location in Falmouth plenty of times. This location is just as good and if not better because the ambience outside is so nice. This is definitely a great place for brunch or date night. The menu is the same and consistently good so I would say apps wise the lobster taquitos are the star. The corn slaw with crema really brightens the dish. It is perfect to share. For entrees I always get the mole chicken. I love everything about this rise. The rice. The beans. The rich mole sauce. The chicken is always very tender. The fajitas are good too. I have tried a handful of tacos each time and they are just ok. I would stick to main entrees. The portion sizes are also really large so if you are visiting without a fridge for leftovers ... definitely bring a friend or two to share with.

They do not take reservations. You can add your name to their waitlist online before you go to try and reduce wait time. I came here on a Saturday in August at 6:00pm and the wait was 1hr and 45min. We ended up only waiting 1.30min. While you wait there are tons of couches so the time past by quickly as we grabbed a drink at the bar and waited comfortably. The food is good. Not amazing but probably one of the better Mexican places on Cape Cod. The prices are $$$ ($15 for a margarita) but you are paying for the atmosphere. You really can't go wrong if you are coming here with a group. As the night goes on it gets more and more fun. Especially in the back dinning area by the big tree. The service is not great but again, it's all about the atmosphere at this place.

My husband and I thoroughly enjoyed our dinner out with friends at Anejo! We sat outdoors in the backyard behind the most gorgeous enormous old tree. Staff was all courteous and professional. Our server was friendly and attentive. We all had different margaritas. I had the cucumber margarita and it was delicious as were all of the margaritas (coconut and house). They were also enormous!! We tired a bunch of appetizers to share including the tuna Aguachille, fried plantains, lobster taquitas, stuffed quahog, as well as the complimentary salsa and chips! The fried plantains are incredible and a must. I would eat all of these dishes again. The four of us were really enjoying ourselves! I had delicious short rib enchiladas as my main. Lots of yummy food! Everything was excellent especially the appetizers and the margaritas! On the cape, there are a lot of average restaurants that leave me disappointed but Anejo is not one of them! The price was extremely fair, surprisingly reasonable for downtown Hyannis. Can't wait to come back and try the mole baby back ribs I couldn't convince the others to add to our order!

A very cool spot on busy Main St Hyannis. This can be fun just to grab drinks, though some of the fruity ones are a little too sweet, as well as for dinner. The empanadas are huge, if you're hungry, but there are also fresh and interesting healthier options. It's always a treat to get a spot under the tree but the decor inside is also well designed and sets a great tone for going out.

Had a party of 7 on a Sunday afternoon so considering it was brunch time and there was live music playing, we had to wait like 45ish minutes, but considering the party size and the limited large tables in the restaurant, this was a reasonable wait time. You could order drinks while waiting. The vibe is amazing. The large tree providing shade on a hot day was amazing. The live music was a huge plus as well for a Sunday brunch. The complimentary chips and salsa were really good. We also ordered a lot which was also really good. Specifically, I tried the Añejo nachos (vegetarian) which were heavier than expected, but very good. I loved the amount of avocado on the nachos. I also ordered the Tres Tacos, but instead of the Carne Asada, I substituted the Colifor Frita. All of the tacos were really good, especially the Pollo Elotes and I would highly recommend all 3. For drinks, I had the Citrus Mojito which was nice and smooth 10/10 would recommend this spot at any time! Would make for a great brunch spot with the live music or a date spot at any time

This place is amazing: Delicious food, great service, great outdoor seating atmosphere. Recommend the coconut tres leches cake! A good one to share.

Decent Mexican but not as authentic as people say it is. Does the job. Good for being on the Cape. Always busy and always a line, not sure if it is just the location. Pricey place but drinks are good. Portions are okay. Atmosphere is nice both inside and outdoor patio. More of a treat for me than every week regular place to go.

The service was good and the food wasn't anything out of your ordinary good texmex food however it was great and the ambience was awesome! Good music too!

Tacos are good and drinks ok. Manager has an attitude but most bartenders and servers are nice. Too many young drunk kids at night outside.
