What our guests are saying
BY FAR the best Mexican place I’ve tried in Florida and I should know because I’m from Honduras, which basically makes me Mexican!🤣 Seriously, I get a bowl everywhere I go and this one was better than some of my favorite spots in Miami and Naples especially the carne asada steak! The entire staff from our server, Mollee, to our bartender, Anabel, and the managers, Brandon and Melvin, were all super friendly, knowledgeable, and professional. HIGHLY RECOMMEND! Thank you guys and God bless you!⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

We came in for a meal and left with so much more than great food and service. Danielle went above and beyond, not just being attentive and kind, but taking the time to talk with my daughter about college life and her future. In a true college-town moment, they shared thoughtful, honest advice that was encouraging, practical, and genuinely meaningful. It’s rare to meet someone who makes that kind of impact in such a short interaction. My daughter walked out feeling more confident and excited about her next chapter—and that’s something we’ll never forget. Outstanding service, wonderful conversation, and a reminder that the best customer service comes from truly caring about people.

Honestly, I have never encountered such incredible customer service from a restaurant before. They went so above and beyond today, it brought me to tears of gratitude....extra special shout out to Matt! Oh yes, and the food is delicious too. My main order was the sopa de pollo - its flavorful, savory in all the right ways, and really hit the spot. 20/10. Thank you Cantina Añejo family...you really saved the day.
