About Anepalco Mexican Restaurant
Beyond their size, small businesses are defined by their spirit. And at the helm are their intrepid founders—scrappy, ambitious, and resilient. They invent and build things despite uncertainty, because it’s what drives them. Their risks lead to innovation that moves the world forward. And we need them.
The service was excellent, and the food was great. I had the chilaquiles, which were flavorful, though they were on the soggy side. One unexpected highlight was the coffee, it was surprisingly good and tasted like something you’d find from a cafe. Parking isn’t great, and when it gets crowded, getting in and out can be a challenge.
Swung by this place early in the morning and was surprised to see it so empty! The servers and hosts were very friendly with music going. We were treated with a very warm welcome, despite the cold and windy day! Ordered a berry hibiscus tea, red chilaquiles, and a carne asada torta. Everything was incredibly tasty and the food was served just as quickly. We would definitely plan on coming back to this OG Anepalco location!
Great Mexican restaurant near St. Joseph’s & CHOC. No need to move your car, very walkable from the hospitals. Breakfast is good, and the Horchata French Toast are something you don’t see every day. The tacos are also good. Thank you Anepalco!
This spot was one of our first date spots and we haven't been here in forever! So when hubby suggested that we visit here for their breakfast, I was super excited!! The Guava French Toast & the Chilaquiles will always be our favorite dishes here and it was just as delish as when we last visited! Because we were the 1st patrons there, our dishes came out super quick! We love the small, charming restaurant. We came pretty early on a weekday morning, so we got our choice seating. Be mindful that if you come on a weekend, it does get pretty packed! There are a handful of tables with chairs set up out front, with the main dining inside the restaurant. Can't wait to visit again! WHAT WE ORDERED: - Hot Abuelita Chocolate - Chilaquiles Divorciados - Guava French Toast
This morning I was looking for a different place to eat and found this little place in Santa Ana. The reviews were a little mixed but I thought I would give it a chance. I was intrigued by the guava french toasts but was discouraged since it didn’t come with any sides. For $15.50 I wanted something a little more substantial. I went with the Chilaquiles Divorciados ($16). It was a mix of red sauce and green sauce - two fried eggs on too. Most of the tortillas are pretty soft so if you like a little mix of soft and crunchy you may have to make a request. Beautiful presentation. I also had a delicious mocha abuelita ($5). The menu is pretty small but the choices sound interesting. The place was empty when I arrived and was a little concerned since it was still morning. However, it started to get more customers as I enjoyed my meal. There is outdoor seating but it’s right where the cars park so it was not desirable for me. Indoors they have ample seating. The host/waiter was very nice and always checking on me. I would like to try the Orange location.
