Every time we get food from El Alegre, whether it’s take out or dine in, the service and food is top notch. The owner and staff are extremely friendly. I’ve tried many things off the menu, but my all time favorites are the chorizo potato tacos, steak fajitas and any type of burrito. Everything else is still delicious, but those are my personal favorites.

Found this place during our overnight stop and was very impressed from the moment staff greeted us upon entering their restaurant. I don't think you could go wrong on any choice. Very flavorful with attention to presentation to make the meal even more enjoyable. We have put this place in our return favorites on our next stop through the area.

Had an excellent meal! Chips and salsa were excellent before the meal and the fajitas were great and had a ton of food. I had to bring some home. Good portions for the price and quality was good!

This Mexican food was absolutely fantastic. Their steak tacos with onion and cilantro was absolutely amazing!!! The service was wonderful and quick. Their salsa was one of the best I have ever ever ever tasted!!! The strawberry margarita was mixed perfectly. I just cannot say enough how good and authentic this food really was. Thank you so much for a wonderful experience!!!!

This is by far one of the best Mexican restaurants in the area! The food is so flavorful and fresh. The drinks are great, especially the margaritas. The salsas are all fresh and spicy. They have amazing guacamole. The staff are all friendly and helpful. This is one of my favorite places to go for a date, lunch or dinner. Fantastic!

Traveling through the area and we came on this place. We really enjoyed it, I had the enchiladas in mole, fabulous (and I’m a mole snob ;)) The place was hopping but the wait staff did a good job and were very friendly. But here’s the best part, the food came super fast, like “Wow! That was fast!” Well done El Alegre! Wish I lived in the area, I’d definitely make it a regular stop. Definitely recommend. Enjoy!

We’ve been here several times & always like it!! It’s nice having a good Mexican restaurant in town. Tacos are good, and I’ve had their fajitas several times (good too!). Their rice is super good, and salsa are super flavorful. Always look forward to going!
