Anayas

I was hungry for Mexican Pizza so I searched online and found Anaya's not far from home.It's a cute place, sweet staff, and really good Mexican Pizza. I had mine with shredded beef but ground beef, chicken, and steak are also available.Will be back.

My parents loved it. I did not. Salsa was way too spicy and the waitress was clueless. It would have been better if we had ordered queso dip and guacamole. My dad got the chile rellano, mom had the spinach enchiladas, and I had the seafood enchiladas. Mine had little flavor and rice was blah. We also got a mango lemonade which was refreshing. It was quiet and decorated nicely.

This is our new favorite Tempe Mexican sit down restaurant. Hubby is totally obsessed with the fajitas. They come with generous portions of sour cream and guacamole and the plate is absolutely heaped with chicken, onions and peppers. I like their combo platter. The salsa actually has some heat to it, so beware before you scoop a huge amount onto those crispy chips! Service is always friendly and the food arrives pretty quickly.

Family owned and operated. Come in to Anayas and meeting Joey, the owner. Joey will take care of your every need from food to libations. Grab a seat at the bar, munch on some chips and salsa and have an Anaya's margarita with a little orange liquor to sweeten it up. (Advise add tajin to the rim!) The staff are wonderful, the food is fantastic. Try some fajitas with shrimp and fish, and hug everyone on your way out because you'll be back, you're part of the family at Anaya's.

Saw the place as I happened to be driving by and it caught my eye. The place is very much that of a local business that is trying hard to do a great job and they nail it! They greeted me promptly inside the door. Got me seated, chips & salsa, and a drink order entered within just couple of minutes. The staff were very pleasant and interactive.The salsa had a bit of heat to it; not enough to make you count scovile units, but enough to make you enjoy one of their tasty margaritas. I went for the combination with tamales and enchiladas and while the size wasn't overboard, it made up with flavor.A great place for a great value.

Our group of four came for an early dinner on a Saturday night and had wonderful service, drinks and food!Anaya's decor is vibrant with the colors & scapes of Mexico. It's festive, fun & welcoming. ¡Qué mono! There is a bar area separate from the dining area and our group agreed we'd love to go back and enjoy that area one day soon.The chips and salsa are delicious. The chips came out fresh, warm and nicely salted too which I personally love. Not too thin and not too thick, we really enjoyed those chips. The salsa packs some delightful heat and is so very flavorful & is more of a thick non chunky consistency. We also added the queso dip and that was also really good.Two of us ordered the skinny margarita with a side shot of Herradura resposado to float on top since they did not have añejo. I was happily surprised that the margarita came in a full shaker cup with strainer & a cute mini salted margarita glass. The marg was made with fresh lime juice and was so very tasty and balanced with the orange liquor, agave and tequila. For dinner I ordered the Steak Tampiquena and it was outstanding. The mole sauce was on the sweet vs bitter side and I could definitely taste a chocolate/peanut buttery goodness. I bet their chicken mole is really good! The beans and rice accompaniments tasted fabulous too. One in our group ordered the carne asada and that was some of the best we've all ever tasted! It was well marinated, cooked to perfection and so very tender. My friend texted me the next day and said she woke up thinking about that carne asada. Another ordered the enchiladas sunrise and the other a combo plate of a taco and an enchilada. Y'all, the food is just so dang delicious! I'm so glad we found Anaya's.

Closest I get to the homemade taste I'm used to, I come at least once a month for breakfast- they have great tortillas they have brought in as well

The pressure was great. Closing at 9 pm we arrived after 8. My cousins visiting from Spain and never been to Anaya's but went because of the yelp reviews. They were so kind and helpful! The food was amazing for everyone! I had the carne asada plate and for dessert we shared the flan. The carne was delicious. I've had better flan, being from Puerto Rico, it tasted more like a bread pudding to me. But the family was incredibly happy for my choice and everyone left a fan. Thank you for the gracious service. The restaurant was clean and decorated in typical Mexican fashion. Don't miss it. You will enjoy the food!!!

Always good food and service.Somehow we always forget this nice spot at rural and Elliott, but are always happy when we remember.Fajita burrito and fajita salad and absolutely solid.

Food is good. Service excellent. Ambiance is ok. Location has plenty of parking. Prices above average.
