At first glance, the restaurant is beautiful. The ambience of the restaurant was great, a beautiful blend of traditional Mexican decore with modern Mexican American art sprinkled throughout. I got the tequila pasta and my husband got the gobernador burrito; both were delicious. The food was so flavorful and well portioned. Finally, the service was great. Our server was friendly, attentive and prompt. He even packaged us up some complementary chips and salsa at the end of the meal because we enjoyed the salsa so much. It’s rare to find a place that it great all the way around and this place here is one of those rare places.

Stopped in for a quick bite and a couple drinks (Modelo bottles and some 24oz draft) with friends and stayed for lunch and cocktails. They offer complimentary chips and salsa (verde) which really hits the spot on a hot day.

We ordered a share plate, molcajete de carnes, and were very happy we did. The volcanic bowl comes with beef, chicken, cactus, avocado, cheese and some vegetables, plus bean, rice and tortillas on the side. Depth of flavor was amazing, and the tortillas sopped up every bit of the broth.

Cocktails here are great, with pitchers of margaritas, mojitos, sangria, and multiple tequila flights for bigger groups or adventurers. This place also offer a MASSIVE list of premium tequila, mezcal and other spirits. If you’ve been missing refreshing, authentic Mexican drinks, this is definitely worth a visit. Flavors for margaritas and mojitos are a small charge, but the purée is well worth it if you’re not in the mood for lime.

One of the finest bars I’ve been to, with full glassware and well stocked bar (including good wine options) for nearly any kind of cocktail you could imagine. The atmosphere is very relaxed and cool. Perfect for a regular day, and easy to upgrade your order for a special occasion.

The real highlight here has to be the staff. Everyone was friendly and extremely efficient. Each seemed to know to make/pour drinks and also cover one another to run food out to tables as quickly as possible. Every drink arrived at our table quick and cold, and the food still piping hot.

Absolute 5/5 venue and one of my most memorable.

Absolutely delicious steak tacos with side of grilled vegetables. Probably the best food I had in Pasadena, and we ate at some nicer, more expensive restaurants. Good margarita. Friendly service. Definitely recommend.

We went yesterday with family to enjoy good food and time together. My sister in law brought in her own food due to dietary restrictions. We all ordered appetizers, drinks and our food. There were no signs posted anywhere about no outside food allowed. The manager waited until after we all got our main dishes to come over to say that she couldn’t have outside food due to their policy. He didn’t ask why she had outside food. We asked for the bill and had them take away what hadn’t been eaten. We understand policy, but they could have said something before everything was brought out. The waiter was super sweet and apologetic. This was a race discrimination as we were the only table that was African Americans. The manager was welcoming and talking to every other table that was of other ethnicities. The portion that we got a bill for was not cheap. We left and went down the street to Amigo’s where there was a warm, comfortable atmosphere, they were accommodating with the outside food and the prices were much for budget friendly. If you want a good place to eat that welcomes everyone with good food, don’t go to Anaya’s go to Amigo’s

Stopped by here for lunch with our friends is Pasadena. This place was in old town industrial Pasadena and the ambience was nice and inviting.

Several of us had Margaritas and they were perfect. Carefully hand crafted at the bar with top shelf tequila.

For lunch I had some carnitas tacos that were better than any I had back in the Midwest. My wife had a noodle dish, but I forgot the name of it I’m getting old. Our friend had the verde enchiladas and I definitely will try that next time

Staff was attentive and helpful when we had questions about popular items. The restaurant was clean and well laid out.

I’ll definitely go back when I’m in Pasadena. The prices were reasonable and the food was excellent.

Entrance and bathrooms were ADA compliant

The menu offered a variety of delicious options, making it easy to find something appealing. Meals were delivered at the right pace, fresh, and full of flavor. The staff remained attentive and professional, ensuring that every detail was handled with care. Drinks were brought promptly and refilled often. The overall atmosphere was lively yet comfortable, creating the perfect environment for a meal. It was clear that the restaurant values quality and service, making it a fantastic place to revisit again.

Review for Anaya’s Restaurant, Pasadena
February 13, 2026

I avoided Anaya’s for a while because I had heard mixed reviews, but I was in the area tonight and decided to give it a fair shot. I truly wish I hadn’t.

I walked in through the back entrance around 7:00 PM and approached the host stand. The hostess was collecting cutlery, walked around the stand, and casually asked how she could help me. I asked for a table for one and was seated. And then… nothing.

It took about 15 to 20 minutes, so around 7:25 to 7:35 PM, before anyone even acknowledged my existence. I could see staff talking and eventually discussing who would be serving me, but no one actually came over. I waited patiently. About five minutes later, a man brought chips and water. Then again, nothing.

Another 20 minutes passed before anyone came to take my order.

By that point, I no longer had time to eat. When someone finally approached the table, I told him I would just have a drink. He apologized for the delay. I ordered a cocktail called “La Passion.” It was $18. What I received was hands down one of the worst drinks I have ever had in my life. It tasted cheap, poorly mixed, and nowhere near worth the price. Certainly not mid grade liquor, let alone anything premium.

After finishing what I could tolerate, I asked for my ticket. No one came. My card sat on the table for at least 10 minutes. No server. No check presenter. No acknowledgement. Eventually, I got tired of waiting, put my card back in my wallet, and left a $20 bill on the table just to close out an $18 drink and get out of there.

I originally wanted to try the food. I never even had the opportunity.

And while I never want to immediately attribute poor service to race, it is hard not to notice when you are the only person of African American descent in the room and also the only person seemingly invisible to the staff. Everyone around me was being helped, served, and checked on. I was not.

This was not just slow service. This was neglect. From start to finish, it felt disorganized, inattentive, and frankly disrespectful.

Anaya’s had one job tonight, serve a single guest. They failed at that completely.

I will not be returning.

It’s one of the hidden gems of Pasadena, I’ve been there multiple times, for special occasions or just a crave, the food itself makes an statement, flavorful, rich in contrast of taste, delicious, and the portions are very generous, from appetizers to traditional Mexican American food it has it all, perfect for a date night or evening the atmosphere is quite nice, nice background music, it has a bar with many options of drinks and beer, comfortable seating very intimate, the service is great, very attentive and welcoming, you can’t miss the opportunity to try the side served freshly made guacamole with chips. Overall a great experience.

I Actually Only Came Here Because My Cousin Wanted To Try This Over Priced Over Rated Poor Excuse For A Mexican Restaurant. I Actually Have Eaten From Street Venders Who’s Food And Service Are Much Better. I Ordered The The Fish Ceviche And Was Definitely Disappointed With The Fish That Was Cut Like Worm’s. Yup Definitely Taste Like Dry Fish. Oh Yeah I Actually Had To Order Avocado Because They Didn’t Put Any . Yup My Little Cousin’s Chicken Wings Were All Dry And Tasteless. I Definitely Asked Her Mom If She Liked The Shreaded Beef And She Said It Was Ok. I Definitely Don’t Like The Percentage Tip That My Waiter Really Didn’t Deserve. He Definitely Had A Attitude And Really Didn’t Deserve Anything. I Definitely Know I’m Not Ever Going Back To This Place Again.

What a treat!! Enjoy breakfast all day long or dive into perfectly seasoned Mexican cuisine. We were partaking in dry January and asked the amazing Easy for a mocktail and he did not disappoint. This fella is going places with his libation creations. Spacious indoor/outdoor seating and friendly staff.
