Stopped in at Anejo for lunch and were pleasantly surprised that they had a brunch menu that started may long weekend. The bartender/server was awesome. Made a "drink" for my 7 year old and he felt pretty darn special. The french toast was amazing and we also had the huevos rancheros and the egg tacos. Very good meal. Love the staff there too!
🥑🌮🍹👌🏼💖⭐️ One of my all time fave venues in the city! Amazing cocktails, food, atmosphere, staff and owership. Anejo is my staple place to bring people to who've never been to Calgary.
All staff are engaging, lively and knowledgable of the food & tequila options. Ambiance is second to none in the city. Overall a very fun place to meet up with friends during the day or night. Love the guacamole and coconut shrimp...and who could forget the chili coconut marg. So glad delivery is now an option with DoorDash :)
you won't find a single refried bean in this Mexican restaurant and that's a good thing!! The atmosphere and decor is fun and funky and the service is great. If you want a server who is knowledgeable, especially about tequila, and a lot of fun ask for Cory...he's awesome! The fresh guacamole made right at the table is fantastic. The menu has some good variety and the food was great. Definitely try the croquettes on the appy menu and the enchiladas are my favourite. For dessert the deconstructed cheese cake is a must try! If you plan on trying out Anejo for dinner make sure you get a reservation because this place is hopping every day!
Excellent Tequila selection and reasonable prices. My favorite place for happy hour, where you can try a new Tequila for 1/2 price. Always remember to start with the fresh guacamole and chips and move on to some great tacos. Service at Anejo is always excellent and the staff are friendly and knowledgeable. If you're new to Tequila, ask your server what their favorite is and you'll be pleasantly surprised when following their recommendation. :)
This is one of the best restaurants I ate at,we are from Nanaimo so not a lot of good Mexican restaurant.I highly recommend you try their food.when we come back this will be the first place we eat at
This is the second time I have been to anejo and it never disappoints. The food is just incredibly impeccable. The presentation is outstanding but the flavour is out of this world. Staff are all very friendly and the decor is amazing. You will not be disappointed when you check this place out! Probably one of the best restaurants in Calgary!
As a tequila fanatic I love everything about this place
Perfect food perfect drink.
This is my new place !
Yum yum yum!! The "Speedy Gonzalez" was perfect.. two tacos, small side of guac, and a mini-margarita to wash it down. Unreal!! And if you have a chance to try the new spicy pineapple marg, do it!!
Amazing food and drink. Upbeat atmosphere. If you want to try something fresh and exciting I recommend Añejo.
Came for a belated birthday dinner and enjoyed the chili coconut margarita as always, tacos were great as well :-) but the consistent service is what makes it a great restaurant experience
Great food, atmosphere and service! Arrived late night around 1pm and got food and drinks right away. Food was fantastic and the service was too notch. Wish we had arrived early so we could have stayed longer!
Anejo is a great little Mexican restaurant located in mission. The tacos and guacamole are delicious and I love the varieties of salsa they serve with your dishes. I would highly recommend the lunch specials or happy hour if you’re looking to make your visit more affordable. The mezcalerita is my absolutely favourite margarita. Try it out!
Went there yesterday on my birthday yesterday with friend! It was my first time here! It was super busy on a Wednesday night! We tried the chilli coconut margherita and strawberry rhubarb margherita which were ready good! Loved the heat in the margherita! Had the chips and guacamole! The fact they make the guac right in front of you is super cool! Tacos were good n the churros too! Will definitely come back soon
Been going here every summer, my 4th now actually. I love their margarita drinks my fave is chilli coconut. Go with their everyday happy hour at 3-5 so u could try all their tequila drinks! If you’re having a mexico fever, this place can chill u out!
If I could give them a 10 I would My last review was read over 32,000 times.
GREAT TEAM GREAT SERVICE GREAT FOOD AND DRINK
From the moment you walk in the door with a great and friendly greeting to the moment you leave a great experience. The staff, the management, all fantastic. Friendly, knowledgable service. Go you will not be disappointed
I love going here to chill at the bar, the Guacamole is amazing done to your taste in front of you. The Taco's always 100%. The drinks well . . . I love them. Personally I go for a martini, But I do like the marg's as well.
This place and the Service was incredible on par with the food, The Bar was a really nice atmosphere in addition to the decour, this seems to be the most authentic Mexican Restaurant in Calgary
Very cool mexican restau / bar, with El Día De Los Muertos theme. Cocktails are great and the food is nice! We loved the tacos & enchiladas. And it’s so cool how they make the tortilla dip in front of you!
Went for lunch with a friend. I am not familiar with Mexican food nor my usual choice, but this place rock me! It took a little long for food to come, but service was nice, interior decor was nice, and food was awesome!!! It may not an easy place to bring family, but I'd like to go when my little one grow bit older.
I've never been a fan of guacamole before but after our group ordered it, I was a fan. Made at your table side it's quite awesome the tacos were great too nice heat to it and was a sizable portion

Pro: food! Tacos are amazing
Con: very busy
We visited on Sat night. They were very very busy but we luckily didn't need to wait.
We tried salsa, chicken wings, and tacos. We liked all the food! They were all delicious.
The salsa was served on stone bowl and the server mush it up at the table in front of you. They ask your preference of spiciness, so you can adjust the heat which was very nice. Also, you can tell what's in it since they make it in front of you. It was made with simple ingredients and it was very fresh!
I usually like guacamole as well, but it seemed like their guacamole has tomato in it and it was very similar to salsa so we only got salsa in this time.
Wings were decent, too!
For tacos, I really liked them. We tried beef, pork, chorizo, I believe. They were all so tasty, the filling was so big and seasoned just right. The taco wrapper, you can choose from wheat or corn. We went for corn and it was very good.
We didn't try and cocktail or tequila, but they have big alcohols selection so we will definitely try next time!
Over all, I loved it!!
Another amazing experience at Añejo. We went very simple tonight and had tacos......so good. Nothing complex or hidden. Just straight up, authentic street style tacos. And the Fundido is the best starter anyone can have. The service was excellent. Highly recommend the 1/2 jug of Blood Orange margarita....it's beyond delicious. Such a great atmosphere!!!!
The food is so good. The gauc is awesome. The atmosphere is my kind of decor with day of the dead. They have a great margarita selection. My lower review is that the service all three times i have been has been terrible. The servers were busy and I am very patient but all three times i received my appy before my drink and the service was very slow.
Anejo has an amazing happy hour - if your a tequila drinker make sure to come for it ! We shared the jug of guava margarita it was good, quite thick and reminded me of a smoothie but the flavour was good and pretty much masked any of the tequila taste. The table side guacamole is good and fun to share. The churros were also a hit.
Ambiance is beautiful, but it is tight quarters so sitting is not all that comfortable. I am 5 foot 6 and found that the bench where I sat was low and the table was uncomfortably high to eat off of.
That being said, our server was wonderful and all their margaritas (don't expect frozen- they only make classics) can be made without alcohol.
My friend and I shared the guacamole-yum! And then we both had assorted taco trios. Everything came out delicious! We also tried the mexican rice which was a bit spicy for us, but had I thought to order a touch of sour cream it would have been perfect.
I wouldn't recommend this for an intimate dining experience as there is no privacy, but for dinner with a friend I would go again and asked to be sat at a different type of table.
Añejo is definitely somewhere you should try at least once, if only for their table side guac. It's smooth and creamy, but chunky and flavourful, with just the right amount of heat and texture. I like their tacos and other offerings, but the guac is usually the main reason I'll go (and sit and drink four beers with friends).
Tableside guacamole..YES. Crispy pork belly tacos.. YES YES YES!!! We were seated right away and our server Austin was so friendly and helpful with menu suggestions. We will definitely be back!
Every day from 3-5 p.m., Anejo offers $5 margaritas and beers, and half off tacos. I don’t particularly care for Mexican food, but I do love tequila and a strong margarita.
One of my absolute favorites in the city! Perfect for a Mexican fiesta :) We went here for happy hour (3-5pm) for half price margaritas and tacos. Also added an order of their special guacamole, which they prepare fresh right at your table. Incredible atmosphere with amazing food. Definitely a must for Taco Tuesday!
Happy hour for TACO TUESDAY. Had to try the Margaritas as well. The Watermelon and the strawberry&rhubarb were both delicious. I had the pork and chicken tacos on a flour tortilla, at $2,50 a taco it's an absolute steal ! So very delicious, & that's not even mentioning the Guac ! highly recommend. Love the interior of this restaurant and the staff are very friendly.
I had high expectations for Anejo. Unfortunately, it was painfully average.
We had the beef and bison tacos, the guacamole, and a number of classic margaritas. They were all good but not great.
The service was likewise average. The girl wasn't particularly friendly, and didn't smile. She was just doing her job, going through the motions, if you will.
The location is average. In my opinion, Mission is an over rated district. The patio is right on noisy 4th street and about 22nd ave. It's also high density. Lots of noise, fast cars, and exhaust fumes.
I recommend going between 3-5 for half price tacos and 5 dollar margaritas. Otherwise it doesn't, in my opinion, present to customers much of a value proposition.
A fun place to go for good guacamole and decent tacos. I would not say it is the best but certainly good.
They have a wide selection of tequila, but fairly small for beer.
Great place for a casual hang out, their habenero mayo is pretty amazing.
Slight bit pricey I think.

AMAZING! Get the Guacamole! Chilli coconut margaritas are the best (if you like spice).
The BF and I came here on a Wednesday night. We missed happy hour (3-5) but will go back for that for sure.
Service was stellar. Friendly greeting at the door and we even managed to snag a spot on the patio. Our server was very friendly and checked on us often. We ordered a watermelon (summer special) margarita and a strawberry rhubarb margarita. We also ordered the fresh guacamole. This is made right at your table, that is how fresh it is. It isn't on the menu though. We just saw that nearly every table had it so we needed to try it. It was worth it at $14.00. The server that made the guacamole at our table was friendly and very funny. We really felt like we were spoiled by good service here.
I got the marinated prawn tacos and the BF got the chicken. Both were amazing and after the guac we were both stuffed. Wanted to try the churro but just couldn't.
Only two negatives were they were out of the guava margarita, and the BF got the last strawberry rhubarb. We were there around 7pm so I feel like that was a bit early to run out of beverage mixings. Also, though my prawns were delicious they were a little on the dry side. Would order them again though.
Halfy hour here today 3 to 5 pm everyday. Half price tacos and margs. Recommend the wild boar tacos and also the coconut chili marg. The chips and guac are always on point every time.
I love the Mexican themed environment. Makes date night a little more spicy! With the flights of tequila... you cant go wrong. Food is decent but not the reason I find myself going back for more! Service varies on the night you go.. I definitely recommend checking this place out.
Delicious tacos and guacamole, dark and intimate atmosphere. Go for halfy hour and try out their margaritas and little tastes like solo tacos. During the summer the patio is backed, but gets direct sunlight!
Order the guava margarita and the table-mixed guacamole and you won't be disappointed. Other margaritas might be tempting, but I've yet to have one better than the guava. I love having a round of tacos on the patio in the summer, followed by churros and chocolate dipping sauce. Perfection.
I am not a huge fan of Mexican food, but this place was great. The guacamole was so fresh and satisfying! I really enjoyed my beef tartare tacos :) the atmosphere is very hip.
Super trendy spot in mission. Love their tacos, and margaritas! They use fresh ingredients (they will make salsa/guac at your table) and offer several different sauces with different levels of spice that makes it a great experience for everyone! Best mexican food in town!
One of my favourite spots in Calgary. Anejo always has above average service. However, the atmosphere is what really makes this place special and different from all of the other bars and restaurants in Calgary. Food is great for sharing.
Overly expensive for what you get, but none the less an interesting restaurant. I love the guac and salsa made at table side, and the happy hour specials are great. The amount of competition they have is growing steadily in Calgary.
If you love cheese, you MUST try the fundido flameado. It was not only appetizing, but also visually stimulating. The bubbling dish of melted white cheese, with a layer of bourbon poured on top, was lit on fire when served. After the flame had died down, the server...
From appetizers, tacos to desserts, it didn't disappoint. The guacamole and fundido flameado are must-try! The tacos are fantastic too - my faves are the wold boar, mushroom, and crispy snappers. Next time, I will come back for the tequila!
This restaurant has great Mexican cuisine! I really enjoy the tacos here. The price of the food is decent considering the flavours of the dishes and also the service. I would say the service is good, but not outstanding. There is a lot of street parking available. I definitely will come back to try other dishes and cocktails.
Great food, mediocre service. Prices are slightly steep. We had the guac which was freshly made in front of you as well as the snapper, chicken and wild boar tacos. On a Friday night, this place is hopping, so be sure to make a reservation.
Good food. Great service. Split the guac and some fish/pork tacos. Not cheap but neither is mission. Margaritas are great with good diversity. Happy 3rs anniversary!
Great environment, place is really comfortable, the food is amazing, and they have their own special tricks which is amazing, people are really friendly too

Probably one of the best places to hang out in Mission, Anejo is a casual Mexican tapas spot offering good drinks and food.
The best bang for your buck is probably the tacos. For a set of six they run about $26 (one is $5). Basically every filling you could want is available from beef and fish to wild boar and mushrooms. Most of the tacos are loaded with fillings, the Crispy Snapper is the only exception because it's one long chunk of crunchy fried fish. The mushroom and corn was actually a nice enjoyable surprise. Maybe the juiciest filing with the moist, plump mushrooms. I found the other meats a bit dry, but decent for tacos.
One of the best things to get on the menu is the guacamole. It's made right in front of you in a stone bowl and is a nice creamy consistency to spread on the tortilla chips. There's also a lot of ingredients crushed into it with no flavour overwhelming the other. Good use of cilantro, jalapeño and tomato.
End the meal with the Churros. They're really crunchy and the sweet dipping sauce is fantastic.
Finally as a casual place to hang out, give the margaritas a try. They run just under $10 for an 1.5 oz, but they're a refreshing drink on a hot day. Especially if you're relaxing on the patio. If you want something a bit harder, Anejo's tequila selection is incredible. Hundreds of varieties to choose from. After indulging in a flight, it's difficult not to have a good time.
The best guacamole around! And the tacos are super amazing. My favourite was definitely the wild boar and chicken. If you want cheap tacos and margaritas, be sure to check out their daily happy hour.

When I go to Anejo, it's either to get one of their AMAZING margaritas which I always pair with their even just as AMAZING Guacamole - prepared right in front of you!
The rest of the food on the menu is good (tacos, anyone?) but be warned, it is a bit on the expensive side.
Anejo is a vibrant place, super lively and opened till late. Plus they have a nice patio and they play movies all the time (no sound obviously). Where else could you have tequila shots while watching Top Gun and eating tortilla chips with guac, uh?!
PS: they made a pizza for the 2014 YYC Pizza Week contest (pic below) that was incredible - review on my blog.
Another wonderful evening at Anejo. Great food, great drinks. I had the feature Watermelon margarita - yum! The wild boar taco is so good! Awesome service too. One of my favourite places in the city.
Anejo has a great atmosphere - cool, hip and seems to always be busy but in a good way. Their tequila cocktails are delicious and as for the food, my favourites are the crispy snapper and chicken tacos! They're super flavourful.
Been here a couple times and will continue to go back! The service was great, and the food was even better. We got the guacamole, tacos and 2 margaritas! The guacamole is amazing and they make it right in front of you, super cool. The tacos was pretty good, but I've have had better. The margaritas are fantastic! It's a cute place, looks small from the outside, but actually has quite a few tables once you get in there and the atmosphere is awesome. Love it here.
Was here last weekend on a Saturday night. Quite a happening place! Loved the crowd. I ordered red wine sangria, starter salad chicken tacos & flan for dessert . They were all good. One of my friends ordered the chicken mole meal and she didn't like it at all. Fairly on the expensive side (their drinks are a little overpriced). Finding a parking spot is not easy around this area. I had to park my car at the $5 parking lot across the street as there were no street parking available. If you want to have a good time with your friends, definitely a place to go to. Overall a satisfying experience (except for trying to find parking around the area).
Drinks here- amazing! I love their tequila selection as I can always try something new. Have not eaten here and probably never will because of some things I have heard about the quality of food.
Loved my experience at Añejo. Had no problem making a reservation for a party of four on a Thursday and service was friendly and fast at all times. The drinks were fabulous. Had the chance to try two of their margaritas, strawberry&rhubarb and peach, as well as their Caesar and I was just blown away at how great they were. The guacamole and salsa fees a were also to die for. Absolutely amazed at the presentation of the fresh/whole ingredients in a volcanic stone bowl and then the server smashed it all up for us. The tacos were also good, particularly the wild boar tacos. The beef tacos needed a little more seasoning but were still very good with the sauces they gave us. All in all, a wonderful place, will definitely come back.
I can't say I've tried the full menu, but if you want incredible cocktails and the best guacamole served table side... Look no further than Anejo. Always a long wait, but once you taste this place you'll see why!
Definitely a happening place, glad we had reservations for a Monday night. Our meal began with the fresh made guacamole done at our table. It was great and they were able to make it without cilantro (allergy). After we polished that off our set of 6 corn meal tacos arrived which included chicken, wild boar, beef ribs, pork and snapper. My favourite was chicken, my husband preferred the beef ribs. We found the wild boar to be dry. My husband topped his meal off with tuna pokè which he thoroughly enjoyed. I will definitely be back again.
The service was excellent. Food overall was very good, guacamole is a must! The Aztec soup was more like tomato soup with very little flavouring but it was the only thing we were not pleased with. Great place will definitely go back.
Excellent lunch, very good service and great atmosphere. I will return

My favourite restaurant in the city. We always go for Happy Hour (or Halfy Hour) - $5 margs and beer and half price tacos. The tables side guacamole is a highlight. The Chili Lime Margarita is dangerously good. We usually go on a Monday or Tuesday afternoon, but on weekends this place gets packed. Such a fun environment. Just go.
Went here for the big taste lunch. Food was good (for the price we paid), service was excellent.
Liked parts of it but found the seating uncomfortable and tables too small for dining. 4 people on a cocktail table limits what we ordered as there was no room for the food. Short ribs were good as well as guacamole.
Hip and trendy but comfortable customers spend more money.
Always start evening here... Big fan of spicy margs & the guac. Great location and always get incredible service here.
Food and service was awesome, guacamole was as good as I had in local restaurants in Mexico. My new number one choice for authentic Mexican.
Wow!!. The food here is amazing and we LOVED the service. We were here on a busy Saturday evening and everyone around us was happy with the quality of food and our waiter was on the ball. Definitely order the Guacamole-they make it for you fresh right at the table!! My only complaint is that the margaritas are very small and pricey, but damn they are delicious!!
Will definitely be back!!
Great restaurant for celiacs. When I have to get my gluten free taco fix I head on down to anejo. There food isn't all delicious and some of it is over priced but if you like fresh made guacamole and tacos this is the place for you. Friendly atmosphere and good food.
I love this place! Ive been multiple times and it never disappoints. They have some of the best table side guacamole in Calgary! It's so full of flavour and the chips are perfectly salted. This time instead of just ordering the regular tacos, we ordered the Birria Al Res and wow they were amazing!!! The consomme to dip them in was delicious, and the pickled onions, cilantro, onions, and the hot mayo on top made these to die for!!! Our server was the best as well!!! She knew we had a concert to get to, so she made sure to put our food order in right away and gave us fast service all night. We can't wait to come back again soon!
We had a wonderful time at anejo. The drinks were great and tacos were huge. I particularly liked the chicken taco. The barbacoa unfortunately was really dry. Overall pretty good, I'd go back for sure.
This is a restaurant with an amazing vibe and the food was super delicious with authentic mexican flavours... I highly recommend the ceviche, guacamole, carnita tacos, birria tacos and let's now forget the watermelon margarita, although I overheard people at the next table talking about how good the coconut margarita is at Anejo. You will be pleasantly surprise at the flavours... oh and make a reservation because this place gets packed.
Great Friday vibe at the restaurant. Even though the place was full, we did a walk in and we were able to get a spot. Margaritas, Guac and Tacos are my favourite from this place.
This place is so good ! Our waitress was really friendly, the food was very delicious! They give you a couple bottles of sauces for your tacos, which is really nice because you can add as you please. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you're in Calgary.
The table side guacamole was AMAZING. Would go back just for that as a snack. The two fish tacos were yummy. And the churros were nice too. Loved the interior and ambiance.
I love Anejo ! I’ve been a couple times now and it’s great every time, the pork tacos are amazing and fully loaded up! The guacamole bowl is so fresh, I love that they mix it right in front of you! Super outgoing staff, very bubbly and enjoy making conversation! Mango margs and pork tacos are my top picks!
I rated this place five because of its service. The staff is friendly—a very decent Baja fish tacos (4/5). I also tried the Ceviche (3/5), which was good, but I will volunteer with the chef to improve the recipe. The place needs a more Mexican vibe but still is a great one. I will recommend this place and will come back.
