Anepalco Mexican Restaurant

Swung by this place early in the morning and was surprised to see it so empty! The servers and hosts were very friendly with music going. We were treated with a very warm welcome, despite the cold and windy day! Ordered a berry hibiscus tea, red chilaquiles, and a carne asada torta. Everything was incredibly tasty and the food was served just as quickly. We would definitely plan on coming back to this OG Anepalco location!

I really wanted to like this spot :( . Read some great reviews and wanted to try the chilaquiles. Unfortunately didn’t hit the mark . The chilaquiles were okay . The tortilla chips were soggy in the green sauce , the eggs were overdone and not runny . The flavor was pretty bland . The coffee and lattes were not good either 😭 the service was staff were great and the spot seemed busy - maybe there are other items that are better ? Idk 🤷‍♀️ probably won’t come back to try it though .

This spot was one of our first date spots and we haven't been here in forever! So when hubby suggested that we visit here for their breakfast, I was super excited!! The Guava French Toast & the Chilaquiles will always be our favorite dishes here and it was just as delish as when we last visited! Because we were the 1st patrons there, our dishes came out super quick! We love the small, charming restaurant. We came pretty early on a weekday morning, so we got our choice seating. Be mindful that if you come on a weekend, it does get pretty packed! There are a handful of tables with chairs set up out front, with the main dining inside the restaurant. Can't wait to visit again! WHAT WE ORDERED: - Hot Abuelita Chocolate - Chilaquiles Divorciados - Guava French Toast

The BEST CHILEQUILES EVER! Best Coffee and abuelita mocha🤤😋🤤 so good! This time we got the costillas de puerico (pork ribs) and chilaquiles divorciados (red & green sauce) Excellent Service. One of Our favorite breakfast spots. SOOOO GOOD!

Visited for breakfast. The guava French toast was sweet, tangy, and light (delicious!). Service was great as well! I'd come back to try their lunch dishes!

This morning I was looking for a different place to eat and found this little place in Santa Ana. The reviews were a little mixed but I thought I would give it a chance. I was intrigued by the guava french toasts but was discouraged since it didn’t come with any sides. For $15.50 I wanted something a little more substantial. I went with the Chilaquiles Divorciados ($16). It was a mix of red sauce and green sauce - two fried eggs on too. Most of the tortillas are pretty soft so if you like a little mix of soft and crunchy you may have to make a request. Beautiful presentation. I also had a delicious mocha abuelita ($5). The menu is pretty small but the choices sound interesting. The place was empty when I arrived and was a little concerned since it was still morning. However, it started to get more customers as I enjoyed my meal. There is outdoor seating but it’s right where the cars park so it was not desirable for me. Indoors they have ample seating. The host/waiter was very nice and always checking on me. I would like to try the Orange location.

We traveled from Los Alamitos with high hopes of enjoying some authentic Mexican food after hearing great reviews about the restaurant. Unfortunately, our experience with the service did not meet our expectations. Upon arriving, we saw a sign that instructed us to wait to be seated. After a few minutes without any greeting, a gentleman, who seemed preoccupied with a conversation, eventually told us to go ahead and sit down. After we were seated, we noticed that other customers who arrived later were greeted warmly, offered menus right away, and asked about drinks. This inconsistency in service left us feeling overlooked. Ultimately, we decided to leave without trying the food. I would suggest that the restaurant focus on providing consistent hospitality to all customers, regardless of when they arrive. It’s a shame we couldn’t experience their cuisine, and I hope they can improve this aspect for future guests.

I visited this restaurant for the first time with a local chef, local bartender and local server. Ordered drinks and food. To start, chicken quesadilla missed the chicken. Dressing on Chicken Caesar salad, was the awful/ horrible taste and lettuce freshness missed. Ahi tostada had no taste and big chunks of cucumber, made the tuna disappear. The night was lightly chill and we were seated at the patio by request, The problem was ( there's only 1 heater ) We did mention our concerns to the server who apparently was going to notify the chef/manager but no one came to our table. Honestly, I will not recommend this restaurant, not even on happy hours if exist....
