“ ***Brunch review*** I visited Philly a few weekends ago to celebrate Galentines with my college bestie! We've visited Anejo in NYC and was happy to learn it's the same owners as the Philly location. We made advanced reservations which I highly recommend as a 24-hour notice is required in accordance with Philadelphia law. They offer a bottomless brunch for $49, but some items are a slight upcharge. It's limited to 90 minutes and they will remind you of that time. You get guacamole, salsa with chips and French toast to start. The guacamole was delicious! I could have filled up on that. The salsa was just ok. The french toast wasn't bad. For the entrees, I got the steak and eggs (premium brunch, $8 upcharge) - it was yummy and filling and my friend got the shrimp and grits which she loved. Drinks offered: blanco margarita, sangria, bloody mary, and mimosa. You're allowed to switch between the drinks. I only recommend if you're not driving!! We mostly stuck to mimosas and we requested pineapple juice instead of orange juice but they do charge for the pineapple juice. I tried the margarita and it was good. Our server was nice and helpful. I wish I remembered her name. Too many mimosas! Overall, we had a great time. Definitely worth the price, but I felt our table for two was small and a tad uncomfortable as there wasn't enough room for everything and I was worried I would accidentally drop a glass. Would I visit again? Absolutely! ”
“ This is a must-visit every time I'm in Philly! The cauliflower tacos are to die for--so flavorful and perfectly cooked. Great atmosphere and delicious food every time! ”
“ Great brunch spot! We did the bottomless and they kept them flowing! They were also super accommodating to an allergy. The outdoor area is super cute for when it's nice out. I would definitely make a reservation- there was a wait for those without one. ”
“ Food -10 Service -10 Ambiance - 10 Another amazing authentic experience at Anejo !! Ordered the Barria and it was out of this world ! A must try when in NoLiberties ”
“ Our party of 9 made reservations about a week in advance. All of us decided to do their premium brunch which in my opinion totally worth it. We were seated promptly at our time and asked for our drink order immediately. Then seconds later the table apps that came with the premium brunch came out. The guacamole TO DIE FOR!!!!!! I ordered the chilaquiles verde with steak. Talk about yum!!!! I demolished my plate. The waitress also ended up surprising our party with churros and sparklers for the bride. ”
“ I really did like the ambiance of this location. The service was really good. My server was really kind and on top of our bottomless brunch experience. The food was good too. Sure, the brunch entree is small but you mostly fill up on chips and guac or French toast. I'd definitely come back and I'd recommend making a reservation and giving yourself enough time to find parking. Lastly, the drinks are on point. ”
“ I was pleasantly surprised by the brunch at Anejo! Their brunch option for $50 with bottomless drinks was a great deal! They give you unlimited Chips, Guacamole, and this orange hot sauce dip that was really good. They also give you unlimited French toast for the table along with an entree! Hard to find a better deal than that in the city. I got the Jalepeno Cheddar Biscuit as my entree which was pretty small but with everything else I was stuff anyway. I'd give it a 7/10. Nice time I would try the shrimp and grits since my friend got it and it looked good. I would definitely come back here for brunch. ”
“ Blown away by brunch at Añejo!! I had a remarkable time and didn't want to leave! It was a great way to spend my afternoon for brunch. Great jalapeño margarita! The Morning Tacos were fresh, hot and seasoned well. I appreciated the difference between brunch tacos and regular tacos (pictured with ingredients). The two I had were very filling but I left room for the Ahi Tuna Ceviche (pictured). The Ceviche was a light appetizer but very seasoned and well chosen snack. Amazing customer service from all the staff I interacted with as well as the manager. Special shoutout to Korina who was the bartender during my brunch visit! She had great recommendations, conversation and had such a vibe! The ambiance during my visit was truly energetic! A few groups were celebrating birthdays and the music was great! I asked for the playlist. Everything was clean, many windows and an outside patio covered & heated area. I will definitely be back! ”
“ Had a taco craving while in the city, so I swung by Northern Liberties to check some options. I have been to Anejo before, but tricked myself into thinking there might be something else in that area. WRONG! My senses led me right back to Anejo (I should have known better, lol). Anyway, I walked into the establishment and realized that I had just made it in time for Happy Hour. YAY! That made me really HAPPY! I quickly grabbed a table outside and began looking over the Happy Hour Menu. Now, I must admit, there were lots of options on the menu, which made me pleasantly surprised. You have $3.00 beer options, $5 wine options, and a mixture of cocktails. Additionally, you have 4 taco choices 5/6 other side order or appetizer choices. I can't remember them all, but I did go with the red sangria, fish taco, elotes, chicken empanada and rice + beans (regular side). The waiter brought out the fish taco first. It was small, but filled with a nice portion of fish and some sort of jalapeño slaw. Yum!!! The fish was flaky and the sweet heat from the slaw was perfect. Next, the rice and beans are probably my favorite side at Anejo. I don't know what they use to make them, but I could literally eat an entire bowl of rice and beans by myself. They are a MUST if you decide to try this place. Next up, my elotes. I felt the elote was tasty. I would have liked to taste more of the cotija cheese rather than the chile powder. I felt the powder overwhelmed the flavor of the elote. However, I still devoured it. Now, by the time I got to my empanada, I was completely full. So, I can't give a review of it this time. I did have empanadas during a previous visit and I remember loving the complex flavors of the chicken and green salsa at that time. Yesterday's visit just reminded me of why I keep coming back to Anejo and how much I enjoy my dining experiences there. I'll be back again really soon. ”
