What Travellers Say
Reviews Summary
Añejo Restaurant is praised for its vibrant atmosphere, extensive tequila selection, and delicious Mexican food, particularly the table-side guacamole and tacos. While service can sometimes be a bit slow, the flavorful dishes and lively ambiance generally make for a highly recommended dining experience. It's a popular spot for both locals and tourists looking for authentic flavors and great happy hour deals in Banff.
"Enjoyed authentic Mexican cuisine, from classic tacos to unique dishes served sizzling in hot stone bowls—something new and exciting for me. The restaurant wasn't crowded and is conveniently located just off the main tourist street. They offer simple kid-friendly options like cheese or chicken quesadillas—both were tasty, though the chicken was too spicy for my little ones. Note: there’s no traditional kids’ menu. The interior is beautifully designed and adds to the pleasant dining experience."
