Long time patron. I wish they would do tamales and a few truly authentic dishes. I feel the food caters to the American pallet. What they do is excellent but I think they'd benefit with a weekly or monthly authentic special.

My ultimate favorite restaurant around reading. I love their queso and fresh guacamole. Always have had excellent service there. You must try the fajita quesadilla.

This is nacho average taco joint, it's a vibrant celebration of Mexican culture, just like the mythical alebrije creatures themselves. Alebrijes are a bundle of color and imagination born from fevered dreams. They are fantastical mashups of real and fantasy creatures that act as spirit guides. For example - a Bat/Man hybrid The restaurant has a long dragon Alibrije painted along it's outter wall - very unique. I made friends with one of the lizard Alibrije and took it for a ride. Then I took a moment to pose heroically next to the majestic peacock. Snapped a pic with the whole crew, perched on a serving tray like a tiny Bat-Signal dish! Dos thumbs up. The food is fantastic, the atmosphere is lively, and even a miniature Batman action figure can feel right at home. So ditch the Batcave for a night and head to Alebrije – you won't regret it!

Fantastic atmosphere, excellent service, and authentic flavors that stand out. The staff is welcoming and attentive, making the experience even better. Everything was fresh, well-prepared, and bursting with the right balance of spices. A must-visit spot for anyone who appreciates quality and authenticity.

Get the shrimp nachos! They were amazing! Everything else was really good too. Waitress was friendly, place was busy on Saturday night. Live music performed by a gentleman with a guitar. Was a great experience
