While the Chilaquiles were excellent, the Huevos Perdidos is the star. Get them and you will forever be changed.

I was about to get my usual choice of burrito because the choices didnt sound too appetizing but as burritos are everywhere, i wanted to try something new from their place, therefore I tried the red chilaquiles( a little spicy). very unique presentation and very flavorful . definitely getting them again

I was here a few years ago but had nothing to write home about. I came in about a month ago saw the outside sign changed and the inside walls were bare like a clean canvas. Figured I'd give it a second try. Had a few tacos and the pork rib plate. The tacos come with beans, cheese and salsa, was expecting onion & cilantro, should of read the fine print. I'm not fawned of cheese or beans and like to put my own salsa on my tacos, moved on to the pork rib plate that came with 8 potato cubes around the plate for decoration a side of beans and tortillas. Overall food was good. The tables and chairs do need replacing and the place needs sprucing up but if you don't mind drinking from tin cups instead of glasses like a small joint you find on the road to Hana this place has lots of potential. Menu is small but convenient, I am still not sure what their hours are (not posted) as I tried a third trip at 3:00 for a late lunch but the place was closed plus parking is somewhat difficult thus the 3 stars...I will ask next time I am there.

The ambiance was very cozy. Prices were super affordable compared to other restaurants. I took my team for a holiday dinner and it was perfect.

My friend and I came here for breakfast. It did not disappoint. Food was delicious, service was spot on, and we didn't wait to be seated. The chilaquilles were bursting with flavors. The tacos were ok. But the whole menu definately has something for everyone.

Great ambiance for a birthday brunch! The service was prompt, attentive and friendly, although our waitress would sputter a little when we had any kind of substitution or special request. For example, she could not seem to understand that I wanted my eggs cooked "well", and she kept explaining it was "omelette style" to which I kept responding ok that's fine, i just want the omelette well done because I don't like loose or jiggly eggs. She finally stopped with the back and forth and wrote it down. Then, on another occasion, one person in my party order bottled water for himself, and another person at the table said they were ok with tap water. However, she kept insisting the bottle could be shared, even after we explained that they didn't want to share. The person who ordered bottle water just happens to prefer bottled, not tap. She had to be told a few times to bring out tap water. So besides those weird moments, the meal went over well, the food was good but a touch overpriced. The green chilaquiles, which they told me they were known for and happens to be one of my fav dishes, were tasty but weirdly mushy. In my opinion chilaquiles are more traditionally known for their crunchy nature. The green sauce was a little too tangy and had no heat, and the plate did not come with rice and beans. So it was just a plate of green, mushy tortillas and eggs. Mango cheesecake was delicious, the guacamole and homemade tortilla chips were fantastic, and everyone else seemed satisfied with their meals of carne asada and veggie omelette and pork pibil. Overall a B+

We have been coming here for over 10 years. One of the reasons we fell in love with the place is that as soon as you walk in you can smell some good cooking. Another reason was the chilaquiles. I have never had chilaquiles like the ones they serve here. This time we came in to not only enjoy one of the original dishes but also try some other menu items. But first let me just say when we originally found this location and ordered the chilaquiles they use to serve a over easy egg on top of the chilaquiles. Now it seems like its a hasel, when you order over easy egg they bring it as a side item.

Well here are the new items we ordered.

Rib Eye Taco
Asada Taco
Tripas Taco
Lengua Taco
Corn on the cob

All very delicious!

Coffee is still just as good a I remember it. The only other criticism is the service although good, not to friendly.

Unassuming hole in the wall type place but great food. I did the chilaquiles and added carnitas. A little pricey for the add on but huge serving and they did not skimp on the carnitas. I left stuffed. Friendly staff. I'll definitely be back.

Brandy

I've been to Anepalco many times now, and make it my go-to for out of town clients and guests. It never disappoints. The food is fresh and full of flavor, and the service is always friendly and amazing.

I sat outside with my 16 year old nephew and was able to grill him about life and girls etc in privacy and face him more found than he could eat so it was a win-win and we both had leftovers for lunch today!!!
