Alebrije Mexican Grill & Tequila Bar Reviews
I have lived in Texas, Arizona I've had Texas Mexican food, I've had Sonoran Mexican food, I've had Arizona Mexican food. Alejibre in Sanford is one of the best Mexican food experiences I have ever had. What a phenomenal restaurant, the horchata, the carne asada, the tacos everything is seasoned layer by layer excellently balanced nothing is fighting for the lead. The homemade corn tortillas are a game changer, I'd do the hour drive anyday of the week just for the tacos alone.
Hubby and I had dinner here a few nights ago and loved the clean, bright, uncluttered atmosphere. The waitress was very accommodating as I eat low carb, so together we put together a meal that was outstanding, (actually two meals as I had plenty of leftovers)! We look forward to returning for another fabulous dinner!
food was good had the steak , service was good , Janessa always so nice, clean atmosphere. The cook came out to greet us , he was very nice!!
Food was AMAZING. Being from EPTX 915 its difficult to find great Mexican food in Orlando Fl. The decor and ambiance is on point. This place hit the spot. Sadly it was dead in here but OMG the food was delicious. I told my wife I might even come back tomorrow!!! The server, JENESSA was outstanding, very nice, informative and on her A GAME. I can't wait to come back and hopefully this place get a lot more business. Its definitely deserves it so come check it out!!!
Reopened as 'Mexico 1800', this restaurant was by far one of the BEST Mexican restaurant experiences I've ever had. Upon walking in, there was a Dj on a booth in the corner and we were greeted almost immediately. We chose to sit at the bar considering it was Cinco. While there we noticed we were getting a little hot so we turned around and saw that they had tía in the back making fresh tortillas - hence we were near the open stove which was no problem, we had the menus to fan with! Everyone there was so welcoming and nice! We ordered some house margs and an 1800 margarita too. For some Cinco fun, we ordered ourselves a shot of Patron and that's when we got to have a talk with the owner about what his favorite tequilas are. He even offered a sample so we could taste why 1800 was his favorite. I absolutely loved the attention to detail and how personable everyone was! The food was absolutely delicious - I ordered the chicken chimichanga (as a safe option) and my husband had the tongue tacos and both were amazingly seasoned and portioned. I hope to see them grow!
