Anepalco - Modern Mexican

BEST Handmade Tortillas I've Ever Had...

I am absolutely floored at how good this entire meal was. Hands down, the BEST handmade tortillas I've ever had... and I eat a LOT of Mexican food. Plus, the staff is so welcoming and it's beautifully designed. Thank goodness for this place being located directly next to the hotel I'm staying at for work!! Order the short rib tacos and spicy margarita, you're not gonna regret it.

One of Our Favorite Meals in California Ever!

We were so lucky to find this place, and enjoy what may have been one of our favorite meals in California ever! Gabby helped us to choose the perfect meals, and was also our cocktail guide! Our hand crafted, organic cocktails were complex and delicious, and they have a great tequila list! I think the standout was the chicken mole! It's hard to find amazing mole, but look no further! Give this place a try, you won't be sorry!

Something Special About Their Tortillas

Amazing food. All of the salsas taste great. There’s even something special about their tortillas/tostadas. Portions are nice. I had the duck which is a small size, but fills you up and hits the spot. Drinks are refreshing and pretty strong.
Service was very pleasant. I took family that doesn’t speak English and they felt respected.

Super Authentic Flavors

This place was a great find! Super authentic flavors and everything was delicious! I had the mangotini which was not too sweet with the added bit of spice from the tajin. For dinner we got the pastor tacos, mole, and lobster enchiladas. All of the items were wonderful and everyone enjoyed their dish. Would definitely return! It is a little small inside, so would recommend making a reservation if possible, but for a Friday night it wasn't super packed. Service was great as well!
