Frequently Asked Questions

Our first location opened in 2012 in the original home of the legendary 4th Street Rose in Calgary. We brought the magic of old Mexico to the charming Mission neighbourhood and reimagined that historic landmark building into a home for tacos and tequila.

Your exclusive tequila experience in Canada. Whether you're a seasoned aficionado or new to the scene, we offer a journey through the flavours and culture of Jalisco and Central Mexico — Canada's largest tequila selection, hand-crafted cocktails and elevated Mexican fare. Read more about us.

Seven: Banff, Calgary – 4th Street, Calgary – Seton, Edmonton, and three in Toronto — Don Mills, King Street and Market Street. Find your Añejo.

Añejo is part of the Recipe Unlimited family of restaurants, one of Canada's leading hospitality companies.

It's a tequila term. Añejo means “aged” — tequila rested in oak for one to three years, smooth and complex, made for sipping. More in Tequila 101.

We hold Happy Hour twice a day, every day — including weekends. Times vary by location, so check your nearest Añejo on the locations page.

All of our locations offer $7 margaritas, $4 classic tacos and half-price tequila — from house to top-shelf. See the Happy Hour menu.

Sí! Every Añejo runs Happy Hour twice daily. Only the times differ, so check your restaurant's page.

From house pours to the top shelf. With over 200 tequilas on our list, that's a genuinely good time to try something you wouldn't normally order. See the tequila menu.

We're home to Canada's largest selection of tequila and agave spirits — over 200 varieties, with sommeliers on hand to help you choose. See the tequila menu.

Four main classes, defined by how long they're aged. Blanco is bottled right away — best for margaritas. Reposado rests in oak for up to 364 days for a spicier sip. Añejo ages one to three years, smooth and complex. Extra Añejo ages at least three years — rare and exclusive. More in Tequila 101.

Only in Mexico. 180 municipalities across five states make up the recognised denomination of origin, with the vast majority produced in Jalisco — centred on the valley of Tequila and the highlands east of Guadalajara.

Blue agave — Agave tequilana. Often mistaken for a cactus, it's actually closer to asparagus and lily. The core, called the piña, is slowly roasted and pressed for its juices. Quality tequila starts with harvesting the piña at its highest sugar content.

Sí! Creating personalized tasting experiences is our greatest joy — our team are experts in all things tequila and love sharing the heritage of Jalisco. Tequila tastings can also be added to group event packages. Ask your server, or mention it when you book.

That's our favourite kind of guest. Tell your server what you usually drink and they'll take it from there — there's no wrong place to start.

We write about it regularly — the classes of tequila, what happens at a tasting, the most exquisite bottles we've found, and how tequila's reputation has shifted. Read the blog.

Almost all tequila is vegan-friendly — which makes our back bar the largest vegetarian selection in the building.

Elevated Mexican fare — snacks, dishes for the table, tacos and birria, Mexican mains and desserts, alongside hand-crafted cocktails. Tableside guacamole is a must. See the food menu.

Four: Food, Drinks, Tequila and Happy Hour. Pick your location to see that restaurant's version and pricing.

The menus share the same foundation, but items and pricing vary by restaurant — and the tequila list in particular differs between locations. Select yours to see exactly what's pouring.

Sí, amigos! We love livin' on the veg — think mushroom flautas, Molcajete Vegetariano, veggie quesabirria and garlic mushroom tacos. Filter the menu by dietary preference to see them all. Please note some vegetarian items are cooked in a fryer also used for meat.

While we are not a gluten-free environment and products containing gluten are prepared in our kitchens, we offer menu items that are, or can be modified to be, gluten intolerant friendly. Look for the gluten intolerant icon on our menu, or filter by that preference. Our servers are happy to help.

We're not a gluten-free kitchen. Items are prepared alongside products containing gluten, and several gluten intolerant friendly items are cooked in a shared fryer, so cross-contamination is possible. If you have coeliac disease, please speak to your server before ordering.

Many of our dishes can be modified — tell your server you're vegan and they'll help you find what works. Almost all tequila is vegan-friendly, too.

Allergen and nutrition information for our core menu is on our website. Click the allergen icon under any item on the food menu to see what's in the dish, or go straight to our Nutrition & Allergens page.
