Anejo Modern Mexican Cuisine
About This Spot
Stepping into Añejo Modern Mexican Cuisine in Olathe is like finding a vibrant, colorful corner tucked away from the everyday. The moment you walk through the door, there’s an inviting buzz – a mix of cheerful chatter, upbeat music, and warm lighting that feels simultaneously energetic and unhurried. This isn’t a place rushing you through a meal; it’s a spot where every moment at the table invites a relaxed savoring of flavors and company.
The atmosphere strikes a thoughtful balance between modern flair and authentic charm. Bright colors and traditional Mexican decorations echo throughout, crafting a lively backdrop that instantly transports you, yet keeps things approachable and familiar. Whether it’s a quiet Sunday afternoon or a lively Friday night, Añejo carries a steady pulse – welcoming groups of friends, lunch breaks with coworkers, or families making evening plans.
Here, the food feels like the centerpiece of shared moments rather than just a meal on the plate. Start with some cheesy, warm dips that come alongside crisp chips, fueling conversations and anticipation. The skillets and specialty dishes bring a carefully crafted heartiness, balancing boldness and comfort. You might find yourself savoring a hearty parrillada or a skillet packed with chorizo and tender chicken, each bite reminding you of the art of Mexican cooking with a modern twist.
Drinks, too, play their part in the experience as much as the food. Classic favorites like the refreshing Paloma or a rich Spanish Sangria add subtle layers of relaxation or celebration, depending on the mood you arrive with. The bar area, often a hub of lively yet casual interaction, invites guests to linger a little longer, savoring the moment as much as the taste.
Service glides somewhere between quick and gracious – efficient enough to keep the rhythm flowing while leaving room for genuine human connection. It’s a place where the occasional little glitch in timing doesn’t overshadow the honest effort to make every guest feel welcomed and cared for.
Añejo Modern Mexican Cuisine isn’t just inviting because of the food on the menu; it’s the feeling of being enveloped in an atmosphere where energy, taste, and togetherness mix naturally. It’s where a flavorful meal becomes a backdrop for stories shared across the table, and where returning feels like coming back to a place you didn’t even realize you’d been missing.

I tried this place for the first time on a special occasion. We went on a Friday night at prime time. We were seated immediately. Service was maybe not the friendliest, but it was quick & efficient. The food was excellent! I saw some reviews that said the slightly elevated prices did not match the quality of the food... I disagree! The food was all excellent! This is a great place & I highly recommend trying it out! I think you will be glad you did!

I tried this ace for the first time last night. When we arrived we were told there would be a wait because the kitchen was behind. That was fine took about 30 min to be seated the food came out quickly. I was not able to get my drink refined though. The food was good but was not fantastic. We ordered the cheese dip and bean dip and honestly could not tell the difference between them. I enjoyed the stuffed burrito but felt it needed more of a grilled taste . Overall not a bad experience but could of been better

It was fairly quiet on a Sunday at noon, except for the music that was just a bit loud. Ordered a skillet and the chile verde. We forgot and our server didn't ask for our choice of refried or charro beans, so we got refried. Food was hot and tasty. Pork chunks in chile could have been better trimmed. Chips were a bit greasy. Good potential with a few improvements.

We went around 9 pm on a Friday and there was no wait time. We were seated close to the bar and our server brought us chips and dip prior to us ordering. 10/10! We then ordered drinks and food. I had the street steak tacos and they were SOOOOOOO good. The street corn dip was goood but it wasn’t necessarily a dip, just street corn but still very delicious. My family had various of other dishes all of which they enjoyed. It was my pre bday celebration and I was greeted with a bday sign, song, and a nice house shot of…..something that was very delicious!! Lol. 10/10! Definitely go try it out!

I love the vibes at this restaurant. My co-workers and I went for lunch and didn't want to leave. Fun music, bright colors, and authentic decorations made you feel transported. Service was efficient and friendly. Our food was really good and portions were fair for the price. I would definitely go back.
