El Alebrije Mexican Restaurant & bar

Absolutely delicious! We wanted to try everything they had ! And we will be back to try everything there . The food was absolutely amazing! The staff and cook are extremely friendly! Family owned and you can taste the love she puts into every single dish ! We even bought the biggest container we could have their salsa !!! Truly amazing! Thank you to everyone there ! We will be back to experience everything on the menu! I highly recommend trying this place ! It’s truly a hidden gem!!!!

I want to emphasize that the service was impeccable, everyone on the staff was kind and attentive. For it being Valentine’s Day, I am so impressed at how well it was run on one of the busiest nights of the year and there being afull house. The food, unfortunately, was not great. The queso fundido was probably the best of the four things we ordered. I truly wanted to like this place, but the esquites were watery and didn’t seem to have mayo, the mole chicken enchiladas ordered(the rojo and negro) were without spiciness and true, fresh zing. It was also room temperature, when mole is best warm. It’s hard to explain, but maybe the choice of chicken enchiladas with mole did not blend well into one dish. The drinks were phenomenal, but it was mostly ice. We opted for mango/passionfruit/pineappl

This restaurant truly redefines Mexican cuisine— definitely not your typical Mexican food, in the best way. The flavors are bold, unexpected, and absolutely amazing, with beautiful presentation in every dish. The family who runs the restaurant did a great job and made the experience so warm and welcoming. Prices are on the higher side, but completely worth it for the quality and creativity. The chocolate tamale dessert was hands down one of the best things I've ever had. Unforgettable! Highly recommend for an elevated dining experience.

This is my favorite Mexican restaurant in the burbs. Definitely authentic Mexican. The mole sauces are delicious!! Make sure to try one!! My daughter doesn’t like cilantro and the chef made her a pico de gallo without cilantro without even asking for it. Talk about amazing service!! The margaritas are delicious. I had the passion fruit one. Definitely check out this gem !! Everything is made fresh!!

We indulged in the delicious food at El Alebrije. Everything was delicious and flavorful. We ordered the albóndigas in chipotle, which had the perfect amount of spice 👌🏽. The grilled platter was filling and are leaving with leftovers. Our bellies are full content. Will definitely come back here.
