Cyclone Anaya's Mexican Kitchen

Cyclone Anaya's Mexican Kitchen is a renowned Tex-Mex restaurant chain based in Houston, Texas. It is celebrated for its rich history and commitment to authentic Mexican cuisine. Established in 1966 by former Mexican wrestler Jesus Becerra Valencia, known in the ring as Cyclone Anaya, and his wife Carolina Berzeny, the restaurant has become a beloved institution in the Houston dining scene.

Over the decades, Cyclone Anaya's has expanded to include multiple locations across the Houston area. Each offers a unique dining experience blending traditional Tex-Mex flavors with contemporary touches. The menu features classic dishes such as enchiladas, fajitas, tacos, and tamales. All are prepared with fresh ingredients and time-honored recipes.

Signature items like the jumbo margaritas and crab nachos have become local favorites. They contribute to the restaurant's reputation for generous portions and flavorful offerings.

In 2017, the Heritage Restaurant Group, part of the Dhanani Group, acquired Cyclone Anaya's Mexican Kitchen. This acquisition aimed to enhance and expand operations while preserving its legacy of classic Tex-Mex fare and exceptional service.
