| - This is not a review solely through my eyes. This is a shared review between me and my Father.
My family is a little more "down-home" than "downtown" we were once surprised with a dinner out to the Costco food court for dollar hot dogs.
So I decided to take the family out to their first REAL downtown dining experience at AÑEJO. This was a pretty safe bet because we've been to Mexico a few times and everything in this restaurant was pretty authentic it just made us feel as if we were back in sunny Cancun.
On a side note: I WANT to live in AÑEJO throughout the entire meal I was planning on how I would turn this restaurant into a home, the main dining room would make a great breakfast/day nook. I would keep all the decor I love it all, all the skulls all the religious paraphernalia all of it! It is so cool and the place is so bright and full of sunshine.
Mother and I got the Coconut and Chili Margaritas. ERMERGERD!!! So good! It was such a cool blend of spicy and sweet. And not to mention it was STRONG.
So since my brother and I were paying we went big pimping and order appies. We got the nachos with the salsa ground right at the table.
As we ate our nachos, drank our marg's and waited for our meal all my Father could say was:
"WOW, you know if I was single and happening this would be the place I would go. Look at all the people! This is the kind of place cool and happening dudes would go on a Friday."
Along with:
"Look at those bartenders, look at them making those drinks!!! so talented!! Look at that food. I can't wait to eat."
Our food arrived. As a table we had two of the Chicken and Rice Tamales, the chicken tacos, and an order of the Mac and Cheese.
Like mentioned before we have been to Mexico a few times and all the food we had here tasted just like the food from Cancun except you didn't have to worry about drinking the water.
We decided to go all out and get dessert. Along with appetizers, desserts are a rare thing on account of us being a little cheap. So we went and got dessert. We got an order of the Lime and Avocado pie, and some sort of Mexican cake. I think that was the quietest we have ever been as a family. Everybody was so busy trying to get as much dessert as they could.
So to sum it all up it was a great meal, awesomely strong drinks, devilishly good desserts and beautiful decor. The only downside was the lack of parking. The road rage in Daddy-O came out a little but once in the restaurant we were all okay.
