Anejo Cocina Hunters Creek — Restaurant in Kissimmee

We are so excited that Añejo has officially opened its doors right here in our Hunters Creek neighborhood--finally! Let me tell you, it was well worth the wait. From the moment you walk in, you're hit with major wow factor. This place is gorgeous. Think modern Mexican vibes with artistic flair--tile mosaics underfoot, a stunning bar centerpiece, and even a tucked-away saloon-style corner to the right. It's the kind of place you immediately start planning to bring your friends to, just to show it off.

And the food? It completely lives up to the ambiance.

My husband is a chimichanga enthusiast, and this one stopped him in his tracks--it came shaped like a perfectly puffed pouch, bursting at the seams with juicy, flavorful shredded chicken. He took one bite, declared it one of the best he's ever had, and then promptly ordered another one to-go. No joke.

I was in the mood for something crunchy and light, and our amazing server, Thamara (shoutout to her kindness and great suggestions!) recommended the taquitos. She nailed it! Crispy, golden perfection topped with just the right sprinkle of Cotija cheese and a dollop of fresh guacamole--chef's kiss.

Let's talk chips and salsa: crunchy, fresh, and not overly salted (a rare combo!). We couldn't stop munching. And the horchata? So good. Smooth, not overly sweet, and spiced with just the right touch of cinnamon--exactly how horchata should be done.

Even on a Tuesday afternoon, the place was buzzing with happy diners, which says a lot. It already feels like a community favorite in the making. The only tiny note I'd mention was the guac had a slightly vinegary tang--but honestly, that's just splitting hairs. It didn't stop me from polishing it off.

All in all, Añejo gets a full FIVE STARS from us. Amazing service, unforgettable food, and an atmosphere that makes you want to stay awhile. Can't wait to return for a full night out with friends--and dive even deeper into the menu.

Welcome to the neighborhood, Añejo. We're...

Based on my recent experience at Anejo's, I have reservations regarding the validity of their current ratings. My visit, detailed below, presented several areas of concern.

The establishment's noise level made it difficult to find a comfortable space for conversation. Service quality was inconsistent. An additional charge of $5 was applied for extra chips and salsa. A cocktail, priced at $45, was served without prior notification of the cost and was quickly depleted due to excessive ice. While the taco plate offered some visual appeal, the burrito contained only meat, lacking vegetables or cheese. The taco itself was acceptable. Notably, the refried beans exhibited an unusual orange hue. The Rib Eye plate, ordered medium, was served as a thin, medium-well to well-done steak. The corn, while palatable, was dry and could have benefited from butter. As previously mentioned in item #5, the refried beans displayed an orange coloration. The guacamole, despite its appropriate color, tasted primarily of lime and had an overly smooth, almost pureed consistency.

While I am willing to invest in a quality dining experience, the cumulative negative aspects of this visit lead me to suggest exploring alternative Mexican restaurants...

Amazing restaurant! Authentic Mexican food. Everything was delicious. Even the chips and dip, were some of the best that we have ever had.

The atmosphere is also awesome. It's modern, mexican, and classy elegant. From the custom light fixtures, to the LED back-lit bar wall and bar-top, it is all so inviting and just exudes class.

As for the food, we had the Anejo Sampler, Anejo Nachos, and the Anejo Trio Fajita.

HIGHLY RECOMMEND the Anejo Sampler. We weren't expecting there to be so much food for an appetizer. There is nothing wrong with that, but I think we would have just ordered the appetizer by itself had we known the portion size because between my wife and daugher and I, we got full just off the Anejo Sampler. Advice to anyone thinking of getting the Sampler, it is a large enough portion for 2 people for sure!

The issue we had was that my wife asked for a Chile Relleno, but apparently the server heard "Nachos"? I don't know how that happened, but regardless the nachos were delicious.

Overall, value for price, this place is top tier. Highly recommend, and will absolutely be...
