Really good! Went at about 4:30 PM so wasn’t too busy but there were people in there. Our server was super sweet and helpful. Didn’t catch his name, but he was a tall black guy. It took less than 30 minutes to order get all the food for a party of 3. The food was amazing and it wasn’t outrageously priced. Will definitely be back

I come here each time I come to Houston. Food is highly flavorful and the cocktails are excellent and innovative. Servers are kind and good people. Vibe varies depending on how full the place is. I always feel welcome as a solo diner.

Cyclone Anaya’s has the best Mexican food in the River Oaks area and great staff. We love going there. They face stiff competition in the neighborhood from Escalante’s, Mi Cocina and others. I think the drinks could be improved. My husband has tried several margaritas from the specialty and has not found one he likes. They are either too sweet or have too much lime juice. I like the skinny but I think it is generally short on tequila. I do not like how they serve the ranch water to be drunk from the Topo Chico bottle. I ordered a Topo Chico and a shot of tequila the other night (to mix acc to my preference). I paid $23 for that privilege : ( $5.50 for the TC and $17 for a shot of Hornitos reposado. I had blackened shrimp tacos for dinner - delicious and <$20, but my meal still came out expensive. Maybe we will just get take-out next time, but then we would miss the lovely staff ….
