Reviews
Kelly, our waitress, was very helpful at first but when I called her out (nicely) on not refilling the water for us and forgetting to bring utensils, she had an attitude that came with sighs and eye rolls thereafter. I also told her my daughter didn’t like the enchilada dish and to please replace with quesadilla (because she did enjoy that on our first visit), she became argumentative and said that my daughter won’t like that either because it’s the same as the enchilada. I then asked for Mac n cheese and she rolled her eyes and said ok.
When the check came, she refused to take off the enchilada and said we ordered it so we had to pay for it. Is it worth losing customers over a kid’s menu comp? Apparently so. Great place, terrible service.
Joanna is hands-down the best waitress we’ve had anywhere. She’s always on point, attentive, friendly, and just overall amazing at what she does. She makes us feel welcome and valued every single time.
As locals, we feel lucky to have such a great spot right in our backyard. Whether you’re craving great food or top-tier service, Anejo Nocatee is the place to go.
Dropped into Añejo Cocina Mexicana for lunch while out of town — we were hangry and on a mission. Wait for a table? Kinda long. So we pulled the classic “let’s sit at the bar” move like two seasoned pros.
I ordered the Steak Puebla — grilled steak (solid ), plus this fancy little stuffed poblano pepper filled with shrimp, veggies, and good intentions… all topped with a green sauce that looked like it came from a spa.
Was it amazing?
Nah.
Was it good?
Yeah, for sure.
I cleaned my plate like someone who forgot they had a meeting in 20 minutes. ♂️
The food took a while — not “grow a beard” long, but definitely “scroll through the entire menu and learn Spanish” long. ⏳
My friends liked their meals too. Nobody cried, nobody sent anything back, and we all walked out satisfied… just slightly rushed and full.
Final verdict: 4 stars.
Good food, slow kitchen, cool vibe. I’d go again — just not if I’m on a timer. ⏰
Overall, an okay experience. The complimentary chips and salsa were appreciated (as is customary at many sit-down Mexican restaurants), but the chips tasted commercial and lacked freshness.
The burrito was massive—easily filled the entire plate. The person who ordered it only made it through about a third and said it was “just okay.” My enchiladas were decent, though a bit dry, but they were filling. The guacamole on the side was likely the best part of my meal. One person in our group ordered the trio of tacos and said it was the best dish at the table—the tacos looked great.
Happy hour specials were underwhelming: $2 off draft beer and house margaritas. When we asked if there were any other specials, our server didn’t mention any. My margarita was so sweet I ended up diluting it with water.
The real highlight was the service. Our server was friendly, efficient, and personable. Every staff member we interacted with was polite and professional. The restaurant was clean, lively, and clearly popular with locals. It was busy with large groups, and we loved the dedicated parking for community golf carts—definitely a nice neighborhood touch.
Worth checking out, but with some room for improvement on the food and drink side.
Come here for a margi or 2 – you’ll be feeling so good!!
Staff is great & super helpful – Very affordable.
This is a really neat spot!
Service was great.
Cocktails were great.
But the food. Well, the enchilada was…ok.
When I was placing my order, I asked our server about the statement printed boldly on the menu : “NO REFUNDS FOR FOOD”. I could tell the server was uncomfortable to explain it.
When I ordered the salmon, she said “I should caution you that they tend to cook it well dine here”. So I asked for it to be cooked medium.
When the salmon was served, I could tell right off it was very dry – with the tail end kinda crisp. I called the server over – “ where’s the chimichurti peach and mango sauce that’s supposed to be on top?”
She checked with the kitchen and reported back that they were out of the sauce.
That’s it, huh. No informing the customer that you don’t have the ingredients to prepare the entree so they can order something else. Just slap it on a plate, slop it in front of the customer.
I ate it. It was very dry. I didn’t ask for a refund. There are obviously problems with the kitchen here, and management knows about it and accepts it.
But you only get one chance to make a first impression.
