Alebrijes Mexican Grill & Bar

Food (4.6) Service (4.5) Ambiance (4.6)What a great find, authentic Mexican food just north of Dallas. I was planning on finding some local take-out for the hotel room while finishing some work, but ended up eating in this great find within a local strip mall. I had the Taco Plate (3 Street Taco's) meal which comes with rice and beans as well as very fresh onions, radish, and limes for stuffing. I had one beef, one Chicken, and one Chipotle Chicken. They were each great, the chicken was a bit dry but the chipotle chicken was great. Based on signage I had to try the Flan, and boy I was glad I did. It's enough for 2 or 3 but I killed it, it was that good!The service was great, waitress was kind and helped me make decisions and part of the reason I decided to stay. The owner stopped by to say hi, such a nice gentleman who clearly puts his all into this fine establishment. The Ambiance is very nice, clean and uniquely decorated. Not traditional or trendy like most Mexican restaurants, airy and carries an overall good feeling. They have a very nice full bar yet I was not drinking so enjoyed a traditional Topo Chico Mexican seltzer (I understand it goes great with tequila). Their mural is amazing and unique.If in the Dallas area and you are looking for authentic Mexican food, this place is a must try!I will return!!

Stayed at Westin overnight did a yelp search and found this restruant ,Went Saturday for lunch me and my wife ordered drinks and shared a taco plate and dips and chips Her margarita was not good it had a bad taste like it was sower? She order a ultraThe tacos were hearty and delicious bees was cold,the music was pretty loud which was odd to me for the time of day? service was good ....will return when iam back this way....must try if you're in the area.

I wish I took photos but I don't review a ton. I had to post this because it was absolutely the BEST true Mexican food we have had. The Barbacoa is amazing. The tacos are perfection. Everything is fresh. The owner is the sweetest human being and he is so proud of his work, so generous and kind. Ask for him and ask him about his recipes! He talks about his grandmother cooking and how he learned. I am not a big dessert fan, but we got the flan upon his recommendation and it was the BEST I've had in my entire LIFE! The restaurant is clean, our server was super attentive. We will definitely be back!

I really wanted to like this place because the service and staff were great. But the food just wasn't that good. I got the pastor tacos. The meat was hard on the outside. You could tell it was prepped in advance and old. The bar was also "out of ingredients" to make 2 of the drinks we requested initially before settling on the house margaritas which were alright. The ambiance was mid at best.

One late night, feeling hungry, my partner discovered this hidden gem! On a Saturday night, they had a live band and were open until 2 a.m. We arrived around 11:45 p.m. and found the place lively but not overcrowded, allowing us to be seated immediately. The table displayed a $10 entry charge, but we were not asked to pay this fee. The atmosphere was fantastic, and the staff was welcoming and responsive to our questions. I ordered the Spicy Pineapple Margarita, while my partner chose a Top Shelf Spicy Margarita. Both drinks were excellent and reasonably priced, as was the food. While waiting for our drinks and food, we enjoyed the live band. As the establishment is Hispanic, the primary language spoken was Spanish, so I didn't catch the band's name, but they were highly entertaining. They even performed "Baby Shark" for a young fan in the audience. We ordered the Camarones Al Ajillo (sautéed shrimp with rice) and Fresh Guacamole, which came with refried beans and salsa. The food was well-seasoned and delicious, living up to the high standards of Hispanic cuisine. The customer service was outstanding. I will definitely be coming back.

Great place! Went here for lunch last week. Big portions, great sauces, homemade tortillas and service. The Combo Parrillada is worth the visit!

We stopped here for lunch after the kid's swim competition in Addison, and wow, what a great find. The area is still up and coming with a ways to go, but this restaurant in a small nondescript strip mall is a winner. Look for the Target on Montfort and the restaurant will be there. The restaurant itself is pretty small and the interior is modest. Aside from a Mexican-themed stage for music, you would never know what kind of food is served. But everything is clean, including the bathroom.I had the taco plate (three to an order) with chicken Tinga, barbacoa, and carne asada. The Tinga is prepared like a stew and it is the best I have ever had. The chicken breast is soft, tender, and very flavorful. It was phenomenal and now I can't get the taste out of my head. The beef tacos were good too, but the Tinga stole the show. The tacos are street taco size with yellow corn tortillas. I loved everything about the plate, which comes with rice and beans, lime, cilantro, and onions. The tacos did not need salsa at all. The wife had the same three taco plate with Tinga, brisket, and barbacoa. I did not order the brisket because I was afraid it would mainly fat but hers were all meat. The flavor on the brisket was spectacular and the meat was tender. She had the flan for dessert and I tried a bite. I usually am not a fan of flan but this one was excellent. Creamy, smooth, and very flavorful. The great thing about this restaurant is that the quality of ingredients is high and the cooking tastes homemade. It does not taste like restaurant food; instead you would think you are eating at a good friend's house where the mom has spent the day preparing food for you.Our server Yesenia was friendly and efficient. We experienced no problems. The food came out quickly and was hot. We will undoubtedly be back anytime we are in Addison or the kid has a competition.

This place was TO DIE FOR. I almost didn't stop in because there is a lot of construction, but I'm so glad I did because I was pleasantly surprised by this " hole in the wall." Don't let the outside fool you, this place is serving up some of the best food in DFW. I ordered a three taco plate, which came with rice and beans on the side and I was really full. I came here very hungry and thought three tacos would be easy to conquer, but they were so filling! I tried the Asada, barbacoa and Al Pastor in each taco was better than the next. My favorite was the pastor--so flavorful!!!The service was also great here they were a little busy for lunch, but I got my food very quickly and was asked multiple times if I needed a refill or or anything else. I also asked for extra hot sauce on the side and they had no trouble accommodating that . I will 100% come back to this place when I'm in the area!

Fantastic street tacos. The side of rice and beans were also outstanding. I will come back and recommend that anyone in the area try this place. It's incredible.

Food was ok. Ordered Salmon well done and it was almost raw. Music was ok. I was there for dinner and was charged a cover fee. On my tab as well as a crazy 19% automatic tip and not free chips and salsa. Dont be cheap. Your restaurant could have us back if you fix these items. Tip should be earned, free chips and salsa cam go a long way. And come one cover charge on my tab?? Really?? You are not Glorias'.
