Cyclone Anayas Tex Mex Kitchen

I popped in here before a show at the pavilion a couple weeks ago, and I've been wanting to say something. The location and design for this restaurant is incredibly charming. From the street, I was definitely hooked by the style of the unassuming entrance leading to a small room with an elevator and stairs that came from a Dr. Seuss book.I was alone, and sat at the bar. I'm a former bartender and I can promise you; if you want to test a place, eat at the bar. You'll see and hear a lot if you aren't glued to your cell phone. My bartender was great. Had my chicken tacos came out any faster, they'd still be clucking. Good flavor, nice portions. My God, the chips and salsa were excellent. I'm sure I would have had a lot more fun if I'd tossed back a shot and a margarita. I would have given 1 more star if my chicken had a bit more char.

The service was slow. It was slow and throughout my whole meal I did not get a refill. I had to ask another waiter to come bring me a refill. Also, the quality of the food was not good, and the portions are small. it is definitely not a Mexican restaurant I would recommend.The view is great but that's it. If I was to come here again, I would only order the quesadilla appetizer with beef. That was better than our main course meal of fajitas.

Dog Friendly, great patio mexican food experience! This is always a go-to for on a sunny day when we want to eat and take the pup out. Love the family story and meaning behind the name of the restaurant. Food is fresh and great, only thought I have is being slightly more liberal with the amounts with the Fajitas per $. In any case, we will come back!

Popped in for lunch with family visiting from out of town. Anayas is right on the waterway and you can view the waterfall from the window. Beautiful location. Lunch fajitas were a great portion size at an excellent price and the in-house flan was perfect. I had my staple cheese enchiladas and they were perfect. Stop in and visit Michael and the rest of his team. You'll be glad you did.

Went here today for my birthday and had a great time! The food here is amazing, I had the combo lunch fajitas. They even gave a complimentary dessert for my birthday (Tres Leches, my favorite!) Cody was very accommodating; answering all of our questions. I think he was psychic, because I never ran out of Dr. Pepper lol. Will definitely come back and try the tacos.

The cocktails are great. The service and staff are fantastic. But portion sizes are small. I got a Parilla for 2 for example. It definitely was the portion size for 1. Then again as an American, maybe we shouldn't need large portion sizes.

This place has got to be the biggest insult to Mexican food. Overpriced and under seasoned is one way to describe their food. This review is mostly based on their food, as the service was decent and the server was ver attentive even though we went at a busy time. The chips tasted a bit stale but at least they were warm. I ordered the enchiladas and I regret doing so, there was barely any meat in them. No flavor, no seasoning, basically tortillas drenched in salsa and cheese. The rice was bland, and the beans were fresh out of the can! The fun part came after we left when my stomach was pretending to be a washing machine. Needless to say, can't say I'll go back.

Cyclone Anaya's was a nice place to eat on the waterway in The Woodlands! I always love the atmosphere here and it's in the middle of the downtown Woodlands area which means you can enjoy a nice dinner and go for a walk after. Overall my experience here was good and the food was enjoyable and worth coming back to visit again. We came here to celebrate an occasion and were greeted and seated within about 20 minutes. The good thing is if you need to kill time while waiting for a table, you can always go for a walk on,the river walk. The food here is good but unfortunately I can't say it's exceptional. The recipes are the standardized "gringo" version of Mexican food and in my opinion it was slightly salty but the portions were good. We ordered for the fish tacos, the summer special, the Del Rio and also the chicken quesadillas. All the food was good and was served rather table rather quickly. **I would like other patrons to be aware of an disappointing situation that I think the restaurant needs to improve on communicating: We had requested two small bowls of the queso for our free tortilla chips and found out at the end on our bill that we were charged $11 PER BOWL, which was never originally clarified by the waiter and is exceptionally high-priced. The ambiance of the restaurant is comfortable and the layout is nice and not too loud in here. The staff is very courteous and attentive and provided a great service! The restaurant offers the option of both indoor and outdoor seating so no matter what the weather is you can find comfortable table with a nice view. Overall I give Cyclone Anayas Tex-Mex kitchen a 4 out of 5 stars with note of the high cost of the queso balls being too high. Also you can expect to pay about $30+ per person for a dinner each I did enjoy my experience and will come back again.

Food was OK it's Tex-Mex. It's basically all the same . Felt it was overpriced. Ordered lunch combo fajitas for just over $31 and got four little strips of beef fajita and four little strips of chicken fajita. The food was good, but again just didn't feel the price point was accurate..

Great food and a fun environment. Expensive margaritas, but they're great. Had a quiet-ish booth in the back where we had a great reunion with friends visiting from overseas.
