I attended an evening dinner party for a friend. Parking was a bit complicated but that’s expected for downtown… We were seated right away and the waitress soon approached for our drink orders. I ordered an Arnold Palmer, brisket enchiladas and a tres leches to go. The brisket enchiladas were pretty good but on the drier side, the beans were creamy and the Brussel sprouts stole the show! They were perfect, crispy and savory. The tres leches cake was also really good! Overall it was a good experience.

My office had our Holiday lunch at this restaurant. The food was very tasty and had great flavor! The service was quick and friendly and the music was not too loud. There were a fair amount of patrons since it was lunch time but that didn’t stop our waitress from having our drinks full and our table clean. Id definitely go back. Although the portions looked small, it was very filling and the queso and salsa were delicious!

This use to be one of my favorite Mexican restaurants. I always got the crab nachos. The food was still great but the service at the bar wasn’t the best. There were a lot of big parties but the service was mediocre. Ambience and music were STILL vibes. Their drinks are 10/10.

Cyclone Anaya’s in Midtown is consistently a top-tier experience. Whether you’re winding down after work or kicking off a night out, their margaritas are the perfect companion—refreshing, flavorful, and always satisfying. Happy hour here is more than just a deal; it’s a vibe.
Pair your drink with the crab nachos, and you’ve got a winning combo. They’re rich, indulgent, and packed with flavor—an ideal match for the laid-back yet lively atmosphere. The food is always on point, the service is warm, and the energy is just right. Every visit feels like a celebration.

She ensured we got everything we needed and wanted while dining. The food and drinks were delicious, and the prices were on point!!

I had the absolute pleasure of being served by LaSandy Graham, and I can honestly say she gave one of the best dining experiences I’ve ever had.
From the moment she greeted our table, LaSandy was incredibly warm and welcoming. She has this natural charm that makes you feel comfortable right away, like you’re being taken care of by someone who truly enjoys what they do. Her professionalism stood out immediately — she was attentive, knowledgeable about the menu, and handled everything with such confidence and grace.
What made the experience even more special was her personality. LaSandy is genuinely funny in the most natural way. She knew exactly how to keep the atmosphere light and enjoyable without ever missing a beat when it came to service. She checked in at all the right times, made sure our orders were perfect, and anticipated things we needed before we even had to ask. Me and my wife will definitely be coming back to eat real soon!

LaSandy was absolutely AMAZING! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcomed and taken care of. Her energy was so warm and professional, and she really knew the menu inside and out. She gave great recommendations and made sure our drinks and food came out quickly and exactly how we ordered them.
What really stood out was her attention to detail she checked on us at the perfect times without being overbearing and handled everything with such a positive attitude. You can tell she genuinely cares about giving great service.
If you’re coming here, ask for LaSandy! She made our whole experience 10/10 and we’ll definitely be back because of her. I LOVED HER DOWNNNNN!!!!!!

John was an incredible server. The food was amazing! John’s attentiveness was appreciated. I will definitely be coming back to this location. I highly recommend the El Don margarita. (And adding crab to your nachos!) They also have an incredible Happy Hour!

I came in today to relax with a couple of margaritas and beers, and I’m so glad I chose this place. The atmosphere was welcoming, and I felt comfortable bringing my son along. Our waitress, KAYLEN, was absolutely wonderful. She was friendly, attentive, and made sure we had everything we needed without ever feeling rushed.
The drinks were great, the service was even better, and the whole experience was genuinely enjoyable. Thank you, Kaylen, for taking such good care of us—we’ll definitely be back!
Highly recommend!
