| - Hey! Guess what?! You like tequila! No really, you do.
Possible responses:
1. "Yeah I know I do, Dale. Tequila is the best!" = Go straight to the food section, or better yet, just go straight to Añejo.
2. "No way! I drank it back when I was 18. Tequila is what you buy to punish someone for having a birthday!" = You, my friend are in for an *agave education. Read on.
The first thing you'll learn by some time at Añejo is that tequila isn't bad. Bad tequila is bad. Good tequila, however is very very good. Simple right?
It's smooth, it's drinkable, and it's downright delish!
Another thing you should know is that you don't have to shoot it, in fact you shouldn't. Throw away the salt and the lime (unless you're making a margarita) and enjoy a tasty tequila cocktail (including margaritas) or get yourself a nice sip-able tequila and just sit back and enjoy. I'm sure that in their over 100 types of tequila they have on hand, the bartender will be able to find you something you love.
Cocktails!
This place loves margaritas and after a bit of time here, you'll love them too. When it comes to margaritas, they have 10 to choose from. Sit down, you're going to be here for a while. My favs are, in second place, the Chili Coconut: Blanco tequila, triple sec, coconut syrup, habañero and citrus. In first place, The Mezcalarita Basically a regular margarita but like I just taught you that you love tequila, this one finally taught me that I love mezcal. Mezcal, Triple Sec, Agave syrup and lime. The smokiness of the mezcal adds some delightful complexity to the beloved margarita while still maintaining a bunch of its more refreshing, drink-them-all-day-in-the-sun qualities of the margarita.
Food!
It's been a while since I've eaten a full dinner at Añejo, but I remember quite enjoying myself. It's high end, foodie style Mexican fare. The table-side guac is good for any occasion. Especially occasions where you want guacamole!
*Agave - a succulent plant with rosettes of narrow spiny leaves and tall flower spikes. It's what Tequila is made from! Yum!
