Alegrias Seafood

First, this place is BYOB. Small restaurant but has two levels with plenty of seating. We had great severs that came to check on us plenty of time and got us buckets of ice for our drinks.We started our meal with some shrimp ceviche and their special oysters which was topped with shrimp, octopus and some fresh veggies. My husband and I shared the deep fried red snapper which was delicious. Nicely fried and flavorful. Definitely will need to come back and try other dishes on the menu.

10/10 would recommend. This place is amazing -The food is fresh and flavorful, the BYOB atmosphere is super fun, and everyone had a great time!

SUCH LARGE PORTIONS! The platter on the menu said feeds 2-3 and there were 4 hungry people in our party so we ordered the Alegrias Platter and another dish but the platter was more than enough food for us all!! The side dish of garlic bread, fried rice, and fries that comes with the platter was good to soak some extra sauces and eat alongside the seafood. The server was super helpful and even let us use two tables until another party needed it to hold all our food!! They also gave us recommendations on what to order and service was relatively fast. Lots of their menu is based on market price so varies so be sure to ask! Everything is super tasty and flavorful though and they even make a lot of the seafood easy to eat by pre-cracking some of the shells on the platter and opening up the shrimp. Great place for flavorful and large portions of seafood!!

I was recommended this place from a friend of a friend, the location reminds me of a small mom and pop restaurant. Since I love seafood, I decided to go all out and order the Alegrias Special and boy it did not disappoint. I will definitely recommend and return in the future. Everything about it was cooked/boiled to perfection, and the flavors were spot on. Customer service was superb. Also, you can BYOBThey prepare drinks but they don't sell Alcohol.

Langostinos in the house Nayarit sauce were Service was great. No drinks so bring your own. Can't wait to go back and try more.

This place has incredible food! It's a cute little place located on N Ashland that serves incredibly huge seafood platter's & individual plates. It's BYOB at Alegrias Seafood with an adult beverage store right down the block. This place gets packed quickly so get there early & plan in a feast! Enjoy!

I've been wanting to try this spot for a while, and I took my parents to experience it with me. We were first greeted with complementary ceviche tostada, which was fresh and delicious. We had no idea what to order (the menu is overwhelming with pictures and no prices), but our waiter pointed us right away to the special platter big enough to feed 3-4 people. That was the perfect dish to order for us because we loved the variety of seafood - lobster, crab, scallops, octopus, shrimp, etc - and the quality and amounts of it all too! The sauce was delicious, and we had a good amount of seafood leftover. The fries, fried rice, and garlic bread that came with it was also scrumptious. My dad's virgin pina colada (we didn't bring our own alcohol with us oops!) was very refreshing with the meal. The servers were so nice and explained that everything was made fresh to order too! It definitely tasted like it. Overall the price was well worth the value of quality and amount we got too - around $150 for the huge platter.

It's a dark and stormy December night with the wind blasting the rain sideways and I'm hungry. Upon being seated with no wait- magically ceviche and Chips appear. Fairytale come true. *5 starsWe tried the Sangria which is more like a Bloody Mary mimosa especially with the tajin on top. Its weird initially but I actually like it. Can't explain the experience just try it - YOLO. We had the Charola Mixa, it was humongous. That's mussels, crab legs, and the most shrimps/prawns I've seen in a dish. With extra sides of rice or fries this will easily feed 5 to 6. This was almost gluttony. Why the *stars - it's just this side of pricey and the shrimps this Wednesday night was not the freshest but I'm nit picking

A friend and I came here on a warm 70+ degree day in April after thrifting nearby on Milwaukee. We were in the mood for seafood so this was perfect. They bring you a mini tostada seafood plate to start off as well as these fire chips and salsa (the salsa is pretty damn hot and I can tolerate spice well). We decided to just go for the aguachiles (with green sauce) to split since my friend wasn't super hungry. It came out pretty quickly. The first thing we noticed was that it was a bit sour - more sour than normal. The overall freshness of the food, shrimp, etc was good, but the sourness wasn't the greatest taste. I'm willing to come back and try other stuff though. The initial little complimentary tostadas they give out is a nice gesture and tastes great, so I don't see why I wouldn't return to sample other things. I also love that spicy salsa! It is also a BYOB restaurant so that's something to keep in mind.

Delicious, fresh, flavorful, juicy, unbelievable! I was so blown away when I came for dinner one night that I came back the next day for lunch. Ceviche was my favorite, shrimp platter was my boyfriends fave.
