Anejo Cocina Mexicana

We love Anejo Cocina Mexicana and the all new Mexican experience they are serving up. They have a few locations throughout the state but their is nothing uniform about them! They put a twist on the classic tacos and margaritas night with their unique modern Mexican menu! Their menu goes on and on with dishes like a quesadilla burger and a fajita burrito, combining all of our favorites into amazing dishes we can’t stop raving about. 

Our recommendation: get a group of friends together to indulge in their pitchers of sangria and share their unique tacos – like the Hawaiian tacos and chimichurri tacos!
