Reviews Summary
Alebrije Mexican Restaurant & Bar receives high praise for its authentic coastal Mexican seafood and unique cocktails, with many calling the tacos the best ever. While the food is generally considered delicious and made from scratch by a friendly chef, some reviewers find the portions small and prices high for certain appetizers. Service is typically attentive, though a few noted a lack of energy in the restaurant at times.
"My wife and I tried here as the menu stated it accommodated gluten free folks. What a Find, we both ordered the 3 taco specials, we both changed our tacos to (hers) chicken, onion, cilantro and cheese only, mine was grilled steak. BEST TACO'S we have EVER eaten, Anywhere in our lives. Yes, we've been to Mexico many times. They said they will make some GF desserts, so we can have those next time too. Can NOT wait to come back here in March with the adult kids. Looked like could use a few more customers, only writing this so they stay in business, not to make a giant wait next time we come. Go Here, they deserve the business, for the phenomenal food they put out. We'd give 10 stars if we could too, like another reviewer said"

"My husband and I enjoyed our dinner here, it’s a very nice restaurant. The food is so delicious . If you are looking for fresh and tasty food from the Mexican cousin this place is your spot. The chef was super nice and talked to us about his signature dish and how he makes everything from scratch. Highly recommend."

"Stopped in after snorkeling for an afternoon snack. Hibiscus margarita had that punch and tart of the hibiscus and lime without being overly sweet. The ceviche was fresh and perfectly balanced.
Ginormous selection of tequilas and the mescal mule is a must.
We chatted with the owner, super nice guy.
Crazy dark haired lady (customer) was a downer, but I'd still go back."
