    I love Cyclone Anaya’s and when I found out about the River Oaks location, I was ecstatic! My work team of five celebrated with a holiday lunch today. The food was excellent, service superb, and ambience perfect. We enjoyed the holiday tunes mixed with trending music. We will definitely be back as a group!

    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 ….

    We arrived at 5:00pm to enjoy the last hour of happy hour. The music you call energetic was interfering with the conversation we were having at the table. Very difficult to hear. The service from Michael was outstanding with his attentiveness and professional manner. The food was generally good. We all ordered something different which gave us an indication of quality overall. I like that you have a separate dining room.

    Great new location with cool indoor/outdoor bar. Food and drinks are both on par with other CA locations, which is to say very good.

    We went on a Sunday for Brunch to the River Oaks Location. The salsa is amazing, a little spicy and not sweet like most Tex-Mex. We had the spicy strawberry margarita, I wish it was spicier but I did enjoy the frozen pieces of strawberry. The Chilaquiles Verdes were AMAZING!!!! The fresh jalapeno slices added the perfect crunch and spice. The verde sauce was peppery and a little tangy, the crema on top was sooooo good. Would definitely go back because our only regret was having dinner plans too soon after lunch so we had to share because we really wanted to try the Tres Leches Pancakes!!!
