**AÑEJO RESTAURANT**
Bienvenido to Añejo, the home of Canada’s Largest Selection of Tequila. Saying that we’re passionate about tequila is an understatement. We’re tequila experts. For years we’ve pursued our assortment, learning about Mexican culture along the way. We’ve acquired knowledge of fresh-made Mexican cuisine and Central Western Mexico-inspired décor. Through countless hours of visiting distilleries and absorbing the knowledge and passion of Mexican people, we’ve become what Añejo is today: iconic.
We call ourselves tequiliers. We love learning about tequila almost as much as we love teaching our team members and guests about this great spirit
