Añejo, a Mexican restaurant known for its Tex-Mex cuisine, is preparing to open at 1006 Walnut St. in the Commerce Bank Building in downtown Kansas City by May 25, 2023. This new establishment will take over the space previously occupied by Charisse, an upscale restaurant that closed after 10 years of service. Añejo has two existing locations in the Kansas City metro area, with its original spot opening in Olathe in late 2021. The menu will feature popular items such as the Añejo burrito, enchiladas, street tacos, and steak fajitas, along with a diverse selection of over a dozen margarita flavors, including peach and passion fruit. Assistant manager Victor Terrazas expressed excitement about the opening and the opportunity to engage with the community during the upcoming World Cup. Additionally, the team plans to launch a specialty line of Añejo tequila, which will initially be available at the downtown and Zona Rosa locations. Charisse, owned by chef Jason Craine, had been a beloved dining spot before its closure, marking the end of a significant chapter in the local dining scene.
