" Fantastic dining experience at Añejo! The elote was one of the best I've ever had! The staff provided excellent service, making us feel at home. The atmosphere was festive, and it’s a great spot to celebrate special occasions. Looking forward to returning and trying more dishes, especially the seafood options!

" Añejo has it all—friendly service, a vibrant atmosphere, and delicious dishes. I adored the mole chicken as it had a rich, complex flavor that left me wanting more. My drink was perfectly blended, with a refreshing quality. The staff was professional, checking in regularly. Although a bit of a wait for food during peak time, it was well worth it.

" I've been to Añejo a few times, and it’s become one of my favorites! The mole chicken and cheese dip are a definite must-try; they are both super delicious. While the service was a little slow on my last visit, the staff made up for it with friendliness. The vibrant atmosphere is perfect for a night out. I'm looking forward to my next visit!

" Añejo did not live up to the hype in my opinion. While the atmosphere is nice, the food was overly priced and lacking in flavor. The portions seemed small for what I paid, and the service, although friendly, was quite slow. I’m glad I tried it, but I likely won't be returning anytime soon. Overall: 2, Authenticity: 2, Service: 2, Atmosphere: 4, Portion: 2. " (*Curated Review*)

" I visited Añejo with a group of friends for a birthday celebration. The cocktails were strong and delightful—a perfect start to the evening. We tried a couple of appetizers, including the elote and queso fundido, which were stellar! However, my carne asada tacos didn’t impress as I expected; the meat was a bit uneven in seasoning. I understand they were busy that night, but it affected service as well. I commend the staff for being friendly, but I hope to have a more cohesive experience next time. Overall: 4, Authenticity: 4, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 4, Portion: 4. " (*Curated Review*)

" My visit to Añejo was a mixed bag. While the food has potential, my enchiladas were lacking salt and flavor. The restaurant itself has a lovely atmosphere, perfect for a night out, but I expected more authenticity based on its theme. Service was decent but could have been faster. I might consider giving it another shot. Overall: 3, Authenticity: 3, Service: 3, Atmosphere: 4, Portion: 3. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had a not-so-great experience at Añejo. While I loved the idea of the place, my meal was mediocre. The mole lacked depth of flavor, and the portion sizes were smaller than I expected for the price. The atmosphere was nice, but it just didn’t do enough to redeem the meal. The service was okay, but I had to wait too long for attention. Overall: 2, Authenticity: 2, Service: 2, Atmosphere: 3, Portion: 2. " (*Curated Review*)
