" I'm in love with Alejandro's! The vibe feels very modern but still reflects Mexican culture. The cocktails were phenomenal, especially the spiced margarita! We shared a few plates and the dip was perfect for our chips. I have to say, the service was just as impressive as the food. I will most definitely be coming back! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible dining experience at Alejandro's! Such delicate flavors and presentation in every dish. I was blown away by the fresh ingredients and authentic preparations. I can't recommend the churros for dessert enough, they were delightful! Thank you for a wonderful evening, Alejandro's team! " (*Curated Review*)

" Alejandro's is good, yet has room to improve. Yes, the food is flavorful and the presentation is pleasing. However, I encountered a few hiccups with service. Our server was friendly, but we had to wait a long time for our order. I suggest they work on improving the efficiency of the waitstaff. The food was great! I had the fish en papillote and it was delicious. " (*Curated Review*)

" The service was friendly, and the atmosphere was inviting. I had the salmon with mango salsa and it was delightful. However, the size of the servings was below my expectations for the price paid. I also expected more bold flavors in my main dish. Overall enjoying the experience but hoping they enhance their portion sizes in the future. " (*Curated Review*)

" I honestly wasn't sure what to expect when visiting Alejandro's, but I was impressed! The ambiance is perfect for a date night, the lighting sets an enchanting mood. The food was innovative and tasted great, particularly the duck with mole that everyone recommended - it did not disappoint! However, I expected a little more space between tables for added privacy. " (*Curated Review*)

" I had my first dining experience at Alejandro's soon after it opened. The modern take on traditional dishes was interesting. I ordered the grilled shrimp, which had a delightful smokiness. Service was friendly, but they seemed a little inexperienced. I was disappointed with how few vegetarian options there were. It's great for meat lovers though! I’ll probably go back for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)

" Absolutely loved this place! Alejandro's truly captures the essence of upscale Mexican dining. From the handmade tortillas to the exquisite mole sauce, every dish felt like a work of art. I particularly enjoyed the cochinita pibil tacos, which were spot on. The waitstaff was knowledgeable and genuinely seemed to care about our experience. The prices reflect the quality, so I recommend it for special occasions. " (*Curated Review*)
