Since our favorite place closed a couple years ago, we've tried dozens. This is the best so far. The depth of flavor in the skirt steak is the first thing I noticed. Even the rice. Usually an afterthought. Everybody makes rice but it's seldom (never) fluffy and flavorful. If you can't get the rice right, you're not ... paying attention to detail. This was a 30 minute drive but that won't matter as we are definitely going back. 8 or 10 other things on the menu I have to try! Exceptional service from Marlene! Read More
Went on a first date here and I was absolutely amazed at this place. Food was amazing, service incredible and absolutely a beautiful spot.
Absolutely incredible!!! My sister turned me onto this place because she always gets ir delivered. The inside is absolutely beautiful and peaceful and calm. It’s a good place for a date. We got strawberry and peach margaritas which were absolutely delicious and gave us the buzz we were looking for. We got the avocado ... rolls as an appetizer which were ABSOLUTELY INCREDIBLE!!!!!!!! So so so delicious the inside was soft and the outside was a crunchy egg roll so flavorful. I got enchiladas with red sauce chicken cheese and steak the steak were my favorite super juicy and again flavorful!!!! My sister got a tilapia plate with a combo of other things she devoured. Freddie was our server. Amazing service place and food!!! I can’t wait to go back! :) Read More
Alejandra's is my absolute favorite spot. The environment is inviting and warm but spacious, we always have quick and friendly service, and the food is second to none. I'm a huge fan of the tacos, the avocado rolls are insanely good, chilaquiles are delicious, and the churros! I also love the VIP margarita - you can ... tell it is crafted with care. I could go on and on about how incredible the food is. We love coming here and bringing visiting friends and family - because we can trust that it is always a great experience. We are grateful to have Alejandra's so close to home. We love to stop in on Tuesday and Thursday for the specials - which they list on their Facebook page. Highly, highly recommend! Read More
I have been coming here for years, the food is always hot and flavorful. I highly recommend their variety of guacamoles, steak fajitas and steak tacos. The steak is tender with a perfect amount of seasoning. The chips and salsa have a nice spicy flavor. The staff is always friendly and attentive.
This was a pleasant mid-day lunch with my husband. The place was almost empty, but it looks as if dinner time rush takes over. They had an area that looks like it hosts some sort of karaoke or musical experience over in the corner. The bar looked to be pretty well stocked and the food was good. I had a bowl or carne ... en su jugo and it was delightful. Overall, I would've liked to give 5 stars but the waiter left us at the table too long without checking in. Read More
