I went for the Chiles Rellenos and they ran out. I had the mole and that was good. Staff is very nice.

The huevos rancheros are so good ! Will be going back to try something else. Love the atmosphere and friendly wait people. They don't try to rush you, but make you feel welcomed.

Been to Anaya's a few times. Great fresh salsa and margaritas. The food is always great as well. We always look forward to returning. Ive had amazing street tacos which are not always on the menu.

Have dinner at Anaya's in Glendale almost every week. Every month or so my wife and I have the chicken fajitas. They are scrumptious. We get two orders and bring over half it home. The leftovers provide another lunch and dinner.

This is my favorite Mexican food in valley. Cute decor. Friendly staff. And EVERYTHING I have tried there is amazing. The fajitas are my all time go to.

We love this place, especially for date night!! The food is always so fresh and delicious, including the complimentary chips and salsa. Our servers have always been very friendly and fast. My favorite dishes so far are chile verde and dos amigos! Thank you and we can't wait for the next visit!

Great good, drinks, and service! Not too loud but fun. Try it out. The enchiladas and Paloma were great! Salsa is the best I've had

Oh my gosh!! The customer service is amazing here. Super friendly staff since you walk in the door. Definitely this restaurant could go either way. You can feel a family environment or friends to have great time. The food though, wow!! It's so authentic and has that homemade feels. The Mole is delicious and the spicy salsa they offer (ask for it at your own risk) is spicy hot but delicious. The Pollo Fundido is also delicious. But them beans and rice, totally homage flavor. Oh did I tell you, you get complimentary chips and salsa. Oh and the Margarita on the rocks, mind blowing good. Definitely coming back! Gracias Muchachas por la atención y su rica comida

I found Anaya's Mexican food on Yelp. Their strong reviews caught my attention, so let's see what all of the fuss is about! They are located in a strip mall with plenty of parking. Upon arrival, we were promptly seated. Unfortunately, the young lady at the reception desk didn't seem so happy. I noticed the same look with some of the other employees. A smile was hard to come by for whatever reason. The ambiance of the restaurant is very nice. The tables and chairs had Mexican murals and the live Mariachi band was really enjoyable. People in the restaurant were all seated on the same side of their tables so that they could watch the band as they enjoyed their meal. I thought that was pretty fun! Our sever was helpful and fun-loving. Our drinks and really good chips and salsa came out quickly. After I ordered my food, I said "oh, please add onions to my enchilada." He responded, "sorry, it's too late!" I did get my onions anyway. I did try a little bit of everything to get a feel for their food. I ordered my Taco with ground beef. I didn't really care for it too much because of the way it was seasoned. This is common in this area. I guess one of these days I will learn and order the shredded beef. I will say that ground beef tacos with simple ground beef and onions is hard to beat. I'm not much on cumin or Taco seasoning. I did like the Chili Relleno. They used Hatch Chili (rather than Pablano) and it was covered in a nice sauce, which I also liked. The enchilada and enchilada sauce that it was covered in, was excellent. While, I felt the service was a little unfriendly, the food was well above average and the fact that there was a band there to entertain their guests, tells me the owners care about their customers. Anaya's is a top contender for Mexican food in the area. I have been to and rated many Mexican food restaurants in and around Phoenix and Anaya's in my opinion deserves a top 5 spot.
