Anejo’s Bistro & Bar

An average Mexican meal. The service was good the people were friendly and it was a rather interesting little hole in the wall. We were there at lunch on a Saturday and I got the sense that it’s more of a bar than a restaurant. The price was fair. I’d look elsewhere.

This is the place to go in Gunnison if you want Mexican food. The margarita was solid. The salsa was delicious. Everything we had was pretty good. My mole was delicious. We will return. I haven’t tried all the Mexican restaurants in Gunnison, but I feel very confident that this is the best.

Great little stop — limited table seating but a dozen or so bar seats. Chicken enchiladas mole was a winner — get extra mole sauce. Worth a stop.

Best Mexican restaurant in Gunnison. Great food, the staff is amazing, and the margaritas are huge.

After going for a swim in my giant margarita glass (salt-​rimmed of course) we dipped into some tasty guac and carnitas tacos. solid service, worth a visit.

Didn’t get to eat here but did try! Traveling through Gunnison around 11:30 and pulled to check it out. Sign said would re-​open at 12:00 so waited 30 minutes only to be seated in the back with an ammonia smell so strong I had a headache within 1 minute of sitting down and had to leave. They had already screwed up twice and I wasn’t about to let them feed me!

My husband found this place while we road-​tripped to Telluride. It is small and quaint. Service is a little slow, but very friendly. Everything is homemade. I had a pork burrito with red and green sauce. It was solidly delicious. The rice and beans were also quite tasty. I had a house margarita, and I know, you can’t expect a stellar margarita that way, but it was still quite drinkable.

Service was great and the place is cute, but the food was mediocre. I’m bummed we chose this place in such a cute, quaint town. There are so many places that looked great, but I trusted all the reviews on Unilocal,and was disappointed. I wouldn’t recommend this place.

What a joke this place is… Everything is extremely overpriced for quantity and quality of the food. We ordered a taco salad, Huesvos rancheros burrito supreme which was smaller then the 99 cent Taco Bell burrito and they charge 11.50. Our bill cam out to almost 50 dollars for probably only 5.00 worth of food. I highly recommend people to choose another place to have Mexican food at.

All good! Had tacos, burritos & enchilada. Great food, drinks and service!!!

Unilocal reviews seemed pretty good for Anejo’s but being from South Texas and loving Tex-​Mex, you never know what to expect outside of your comfort zone when it comes to Mexican food. Upon the advice of a local, my dad and I decided to try Anejo’s for lunch.
It’s a tiny little place with only about 8 tables and seating for 20 or so, but we were a little late for lunch and there were seats available without a wait.
Service was excellent during the entire meal and our waiter was easy to have a conversation with. He answered our questions and made great suggestions.
The chips and salsa were a great start! We went through 2 baskets and a refill of salsa. I had beef enchiladas with red sauce and rice. My dad had shrimp quesadillas with guacamole on the side. We were both extremely pleased with our meals. I really like good Mexican rice and this was some of the best I’ve had. My dad really enjoyed the guacamole and said there was a certain taste to it that he couldn’t identify. After asking our waiter about it, he asked the kitchen but they would not reveal their secret! (which you have to respect)
I’m visiting for another week or so and I know we will be back at least once more before I leave.

We went here for a meal after hiking and traveling for the day. We had great service and great food. I don’t think we have had Mexican food this good in awhile. Salsa was fantastic! There were 6 of us and they handled us easily. We’ll be back for more!

Best beef tacos I ever had. Must be local Colorado beef. Seriously great food. Simple and hi quality.

The food is freshly prepared. I’m not afraid of a little spice, so the flavors could have been more assertive. The house salsa is awesome! My husband said he would buy it bottled. BUT the top tip is: come between 4−6pm and order a large house margarita for $ 5. The tequila pour is heavy handed, and the perfect way to finish off a day in the river or slopes.

Just wanted to grab something quick when I was checking out the black canyon with my fam… Holy shit we were stoked as hell to find this «literal» hole in the wall, little yellow building. My family and I just move from San Diego to Denver about a year ago and we can’t find anything in Denver like we could find back home 20 mins from the boarder. But let me tell you this place is just as good if not better than most of the Mexican establishments back home. Don’t be a pinche puta get your zoot suit like a pachuco and hit it up.

I had two lovely meals here. He chips and salsa are devine. Really interesting chile Relleno. Tony is so friendly and made us feel very welcome.

Why didn’t we discover Anejo’s sooner? Our service was great, giant margaritas for $ 5.50, excellent chips an salsa and our entrees were tasty, fresh and sizable. The only thing that would make Anejo’s better is if they had an outdoor patio like the Mexican joint across the street.

If you are in Gunnison, and have a hankering for Mexican food, this is the place to go. On my last visit, I had Michoacan style carnitas, which were fantastic. Ask for their spicy salsa. With your carnitas, it will not disappoint.

This place was busy on a Monday evening, but that told us it probably meant the place were really good. And the crowd was right.
Hands down the best tortilla soup I’ve ever had! I was going to order a bowl, but the server told me the cup was pretty big, especially if I planned to order entrees. I was skeptical, but she was right — in fact, at other restaurants, I’d have called THIS «cup» a bowl. A generous handful of crisp tortilla strips lay among the thick, smooth broth, and the flavors were well-​balanced between the acidity of the tomato and the fattiness of both the chunks of avocado and the cheese (I think I tasted cotija cheese). Next time I come in I’ll only be getting the bowl.
We both thought the salsa was delicious — it was bright, flavorful, and fresh. As we had been eating meat all weekend, we opted for vegetarian entrees, and one could hardly tell there was no meat as it was still hearty. I was grateful that the arroz wasn’t dry, and though I’m no refried beans lover, most of it disappeared from my plate.
We didn’t order margaritas, but all the ones that I saw were delivered in huge, bowl-​like glasses. The strawberry version looked especially delicious with a beautiful dense color and a juicy strawberry garnish on the rim.
The service was harried, but the 3 staff members working the room were pleasant and took care of us with refilling our drinks, getting us more chips, and even asking if we’d like to move from one of the bar seats to a table once it became available. Because the space is so narrow and small, the kitchen is right there in the open, so expect to leave the restaurant smelling like the good food you just had.
When it’s not super busy, you can sit wherever you find a seat. We didn’t know this and just stood around awkwardly for a couple minutes. Watching other diners come in it appeared that when lines began to form, the servers tried to help seat them.
