It is Paris so the salsa is never going to be really hot! The food was good, the margaritas were good and they have dos XX!! The tortilla chips were great! I would recommend to anyone this place when you want a little mexican food in your life while you live in Paris!

I'm not sure I know what "authentic" Mexican food is. I mean I grew up in the US eating Mexican from about the time the first Ole' Taco showed up on the West Coast. I think Anahuacalli is supposed to be Mayan anyway - a special sliver of the genre I guess? *shrugs*
The food was good - the spices were a richer blend than the typical tomato based salsa. They use cocoa in many of their dishes. Margarita was good but not too strong. The chips and salsa were also fine, but both exceedingly limited in quantity. The chips come out in a small bowl and they don't like you to call them tortilla chips (I can't remember what they are "supposed to be called"). I 'm pretty sure the refills are not free.
Main entree - tostada was the highlight - richly spiced, light cheese and lots of brown sauce. And, the service was nice and attentive.
The meal of a guacamole starter, one entree and one margarita was about 35 Euro - which is to say, a little salty. -

I deliberately avoided the London Mexican debate, so I guess I will wade into this Parisienne one then.
What do you say when you just arrive in Paris and your Parisienne friend takes you to a "surprise restaurant" which turns out to be Mexican?
Well. Apparently A LOT more than what you say when you go to Mexican in London. The margaritas were tip tip top, strong, large and delicious and my enchilada "au gratin", whiles not necessarily completely authentic; answered my complaints usually about enchilada- ie it was au gratin'ed like there was no tomorrow. The beans that came with it was also sublime.
My friend was less enthusiastic about her mole as it was essentially a massive lump of turkey covered in Mole sauce with some rice and home made tortilla. She was delighted with the tortilla though.
This little joint is run by a family with lots of typical mexican decor and I must say; I rather wait for my next Paris trip for a Mexican trip than suffer the "mexican food" they serve in London. -

It's not completely authentic, but it's really good. And given the lack of any other even decent Mexican food in Paris it makes it a real treat. The salsa is hot and spicy, the drinks are done well.
If I have a complaint it is that the tortilla chips are a little over-cooked and hard. But still better than anywhere else in Paris so it's a small issue. -

i have to admit i have a pretty high standard for mexican food, but after being away from california for a while i decided to search out an okay option to relieve my mexi-cravings when they got too intense.
maybe it's the cheese they use (possibly feta) but i could NOT get into the meal and my friend that i brought along wasn't a fan either.
it too FOREVER to get our meal, although they were super sweet and brought us multiple baskets of chips, i don't think it was worth the wait. something about the food was just off. the rice was bland, guacamole was decent, but the cheese in my chile releno super threw me off.
what's wrong with a nice cheddar or jack? -

best "mexican" food I've ever had, and I lived in Santa Fe.
