“ The food was amazing. After 4 days at the FRC world championships, we were ready for more than... brunch on Sunday was A! ”
“ Stepping into Cyclone Anaya’s Tex-Mex Kitchen (in Rice Village) feels like an invitation to a vibrant celebration of flavor and hospitality. On our recent visit, we were fortunate to have Ali as our server, whose attentive, cheerful demeanor elevated an already outstanding dining experience. The star of the show was undoubtedly the fish tacos. Perfectly seasoned and cooked to tender, flaky perfection, they were nestled in warm tortillas and topped with a medley of fresh, zesty garnishes. Each bite was a harmonious blend of textures and flavors that showcased the kitchen’s mastery of Tex-Mex cuisine. The sides were equally impressive. The yellow rice was a fragrant, flavorful companion, with just the right amount of seasoning to complement the boldness of the tacos. But the brussels sprouts stole the spotlight—they were a revelation. Charred to crispy perfection and tossed in a subtly sweet glaze, they struck a balance that turned this humble vegetable into a dish to remember. No visit to Cyclone Anaya’s would be complete without their margaritas. These were not your run-of-the-mill cocktails; each sip was a refreshing burst of citrusy brightness with a perfectly salted rim, embodying the essence of a classic Tex-Mex dining experience.

“ Oscar was a great server, he brought us samples for the enchiladas sauce, the mole and green tomatillo sauce is very good. He kept my refills coming and he kept the chips coming! The food was good, nothing especially stood out, but it was all good. My wife loved the Ceviche! The atmosphere is what makes us really love this place, the music isn’t loud, the lights aren’t super bright but they aren’t too dim either, the restrooms are nice, and there is a nice view. ”
“ Stopped in for lunch and very happy we did! Very nice atmosphere, delicious food and Oscar provided exceptional service. 7 margaritas on Monday's, lunch menu was very good with lots of options and portions were generous. They also have a very pretty patio. ”

“ The food here was excellent! The selection was fantastic, and the prices were reasonable. Our waitress Paula, was very helpful. We had several questions about the food and she took her time explaining the different dishes. I went with her recommendation and I loved it. I will definitely be back again. ”
“ I wasn’t sure what exactly to expect when coming but what I found was an absolute gem. Fantastic food, service, and drink. I usually struggle at new places when it comes to ordering etc. but my server Jorge helped me feel right at home and educated me about the menu and what I was ordering. He helped me feel comfortable and come to a decision myself and I very much appreciated that. The margaritas are FANTASTIC. Best ones I’ve ever had bar far. I did order a top shelf one though but I’d bet the house ones are great too!! I very rarely will leave 5 stars by Cyclone absolutely deserves all 5.00 of them. They also had indicators for allergies and dietary restrictions on the menu and were happy to check with the kitchen and go above and beyond to make sure that the food I was ordering was safe for me. As someone with a severe peanut allergy that’s VERY important to me. If you’ve got an allergy (even a peanut one) no worries. ”
