El Muchacho Alegre

I've eaten in many Mexican restaurants but when I weren't here I felt like I went to Mexico!The service was excellent, the shrimp ceviche was to die for and the margaritas were deliciousThis place is well worth the visit if you're really into Mexican food and the ambiance again makes you feel like you are in Mexico!

Hands-down, one of my favorite places to get delicious food, the service is great and the drinks are strong! Highly recommended if you're in north Everett

This is a fun place for a night out it has lots of tables, yes tables that you can put together for groups and update 21st century junk box and the usually multiple tvs for viewing sports or movies. This place has many selections of plates and yes I did say platters of shrimps or mussels or other seafood but I can't turn down a whole deep fried fish, to my disappointment after I order the white fish I don't look farther in the menu and saw deep fried Rick fish , what. The fish was crispy on the outside and moist on the inside and came with rice and salad and a choice of flour or corn tortilla. Which of course I got corn they were extremely still hot a surprising moist for corn, next time I'm going to ask about if it was hand made. Ii saw that clay drink on the other table and they called it a cantartio, all I know it has tequila and juice in it , they called it affectionately a Mexican high ball, it suprising how much a person can drink when you can't taste the liquor, and don't be full by it size, I thought it was as a never ending glass by the hearty "sips" I was draining thru the straw. The mussels was a lot I wasn't sure how to eat those crackers that came with it , I'm sure I was doing it wrong and look foolish as usually. One last point the staff was very helpful explaining the menu and and and clear your table a you wee done, nice nothing I rather have than dishes clear, so I can focus on my drink

Lovely surprise in N Everett. Focus is on seafood, excellent environment and fresh food! Awesome fresh guacamole, had tasty carne asada, Margaritas were great too. Service was a tiny bit slow, but we were in no hurry and enjoyed the restaurant. Very clean inside with good design, will definitely go again

This place makes some first class shrimp or fish tacos. Great batter really crispy. They come with a delicious red sauce. As required the chips and salsa are pretty legit. Salsa isn't spicy but it's good

I do not recommend. It took us 30 mins to get our drinks and then another 45 to get our food which came out way overcooked, rice was mushy, and then they never came back to check on us at all so we couldn't get more tortillas or anything refills.

After waiting a while to at least be acknowledged we walked out.Customer service is horrible

In shortIncredible seafood! Just a couple non-seafood dishes. Be ready to learn some food words in Spanish. Read the online menu beforehand if you can, and Google the words you don't know. (I had to, and I had 6 years of Spanish as a kid). The printed menu has in-house items not on the online menu, so bring the Googles with you when you go in. In longThis is an old pizza place that already had a decent build inside, so they didn't change much, just painted everything turquoise. It's clean and nice for sure, and *bright*--lots of big windows and skylights. Even a cold, rainy, snow-ish gray day yesterday, it felt airy and welcoming inside thanks to all the bright natural light.Service is not necessarily flying at warp speed, but they take care of you for sure. Try to get a drink and appetizer order in on the first table visit. Oh, and, if you're stoked for margaritas and other cocktails, maybe ask for the drinks menu or poke around in the bar on your way to the table. We had *delicious* margaritas but saw a ton of interesting-looking pours going out that we did not see on the menu. Muchacho Alegre, if you're reading this, send a drinks menu out with the food menus. :-)As you've probably figured out by now, the kitchen here is 98% focused on seafood. First of all, they stock a huge variety of saltwater proteins, but best of all, they know how to season absolutely everything. We got multiple fresh housemade salsas on the table (1 each for the 3 dishes we ordered), plus 4 bottled salsas that were all fantastic and new to us (mostly from Mexico Lindo). Mixto ceviche con pulpoThis is ceviche with fish, prawns, and octopus. No ketchup in sight! Bright acidic flavors, perfectly tender bites of seafood, lots of fresh veg. The "regular" seems a little pricey but it's an entrée-sized portion. Gorgeous fresh slices of avocado and tostada shells make this a fun sequence of bites to assemble and play around with spoonfuls of all the different salsas. Shrimp empanadasGreat flavors inside and out. Served with a creamy, sweet-ish salsa. Combines well with all the other salsas, too. Langostinos a la DiablaFresh shellfish, more delicious salsa, and nice red sauce. The sauce didn't show up in the photos online, but it made the dish even better than anticipated. Lots of onion, lots of peppery seasoning, some tomato slices. It has a sweet tomato-y note in the background but you can tune this up with all kinds of salsa if you'd rather have the heat than the sweet. Prices are a little high but for fantastic seafood the value is more than there. This is a huge family-style dining room and they are absolutely knocking it out of the park. Come in, relax, and have fun. They definitely push tables together for big groups.

We had an Excellent lunch! The seafood menu was very interesting. the service was extraordinary and the food was fabulous! The portions were almost too large for myself and my wife. She took some home! A sure winner for all to enjoy. We are planning a return soon.

Service was excellent! food outstanding! Met the owner he's super nice great guys very engaged!
