Stopped in for a quick bite and a couple drinks (Modelo bottles and some 24oz draft) with friends and stayed for lunch and cocktails. They offer complimentary chips and salsa (verde) which really hits the spot on a hot day.

We ordered a share plate, molcajete de carnes, and were very happy we did. The volcanic bowl comes with beef, chicken, cactus, avocado, cheese and some vegetables, plus bean, rice and tortillas on the side. Depth of flavor was amazing, and...

At first glance, the restaurant is beautiful. The ambience of the restaurant was great, a beautiful blend of traditional Mexican decore with modern Mexican American art sprinkled throughout. I got the tequila pasta and my husband got the gobernador burrito; both were delicious. The food was so flavorful and well portioned. Finally, the service was great. Our server was friendly, attentive and prompt. He even packaged us up some complementary chips and salsa at the end of the meal...

First time at Anayas for their Sunday brunch (their regular menu is not available during brunch). Great selections - my favorites were the chicken mole, the menudo and shrimp ceviche. Their beans and rice are good too. Lots or other items to choose from too. Desserts were so yummy, a delicious flan, churros, a chocolate fountain for fruit make it hard to choose but the flan was my favorite! There is also a great bar. Definitely recommend!! Thanks Anayas, we’ll be back!!
