Anejo Mexican Bistro & Tequila Bar

(Last visited 5/5/2022.) Up for the week vacationing in Cape Cod, specifically Falmouth and it's dinnertime! Right on the main strip in downtown Falmouth on Main Street is this gem. The first time we walked by it there was a GANG of folks outside enjoying themselves and a completely full restaurant inside! We couldn't even get a table the first time we tried so we made sure to spin the block later on in the week to try this place out! Atmosphere/Appearance: The outside is lined with tables PERFECT for people-watching along Main Street. Lol. It was decently warm outside and the umbrellas above each table helped keep the sun out of our eyes. However, INSIDE though... was so LIVE! The music was pumping, the decor was bright, exuberant, fun and uplifting! I absolutely loved it! Service: I can't remember who took care of us, but she was awesome. She was fun, energetic, personable and made sure that we had everything that we needed. Food: I started out with a Chorizo Potato Empanada which is a fluffy, flaky, crispy shell filled with Oaxaca-jack cheese, shredded lettuce, pico de gallo, lime crema, salsa roja and topped with cotija cheese. It was HOT, temperature wise, but very delicious with an excellent balance of salty, savory and creamy flavors. For my entree I went with Langosta Enchiladas! I chose these because where else but Cape Cod can you get lobster in Mexican food?! So of course I had to try them! Inside the floury, cheesy tortillas were ancho-glazed local lobster and fire roasted corn with chipotle cream sauce then topped with Oaxaca-jack cheese and sour cream. The lobster was a lil' overcooked and the flavor was drowned out by everything else going on with the enchiladas, but I did enjoy the novelty of lobster-flavored Mexican food! Lol. They were served with refried beans and Mexican rice which were also delicious as well as filling. Value: It's Cape Cod so it's not gonna be cheap because this is sort of a vacation destination, even though people do live here year-round. My single empanada was $15.00. Yah, trippin'. My lobster enchiladas were $30.00. So yeah, bring an open mind and your check book if you'd like to check this place out. In conclusion, I really enjoyed this place, so much that we came back a 2nd time! Check this place out if you're in the area.

What a hidden gem! Food was absolutely delicious, albeit not exactly traditional Mexican cuisine. The chef puts a unique twist on Mexican classics. The cocktails, as others have stated, are amazing, and the ambiance can not be beat. It feels like you are in another world under that massive tree with the twinkling lights. It is just shy of magical! We loved the dinner so much that we went back for brunch, which was equally as good. I highly recommend it, and we will be back next time we are in the area!
