" I visited Little Alex's thinking I'd get some hearty Mexican food, and I was not disappointed! The fish tacos were bursting with flavor, and the atmosphere felt very welcoming. It’s the kind of place where you can relax and enjoy your meal. Service was good but could be slightly faster during peak hours. Overall, I would definitely recommend it! " (*Curated Review*)

" Having tried many Mexican eateries, Little Alex's undoubtedly stands out for its authentic flavors! The tacos De Pastor were deliciously seasoned, and the homemade salsa brought everything to life. It's a great value for what you get, and the staff was very engaging. Looking forward to my next visit! " (*Curated Review*)

" Little Alex's is a charming spot with quite a promising menu. The ambiance is airy, which I really liked, and the staff were very helpful. I ordered the Primo Burrito but found the flavor lacking compared to other places I've been to. It was decent, but felt overpriced for what I got. I would probably come back to give other dishes a try though. " (*Curated Review*)

" I felt the food could have been more authentic in flavor profile; I love spicy food and this fell a bit short. But on a positive note, the outdoor area is perfect for gatherings, and the staff was incredibly friendly! If you don’t mind mild flavors, you’d enjoy your time here! " (*Curated Review*)

" Food is pretty good, but found some of the dishes to be a bit bland. However, I was impressed by the cleanliness and the service was also very decent. I ordered their famous breakfast burrito and while it was hefty, it lacked spice. Overall simple but enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

Loved every bite of my rajas tacos; each was loaded with flavor and fresh ingredients. The owners really know how to make you feel at home! I will absolutely return for another happy hour! " (*Curated Review*)

" Incredible experience indulging in the delectable offerings at Little Alex's! Their Caldo de Pollo is a must-try as it manages to enhance the craving for homemade food. I cannot stress enough how friendly the staff was too; they really made us feel valued as customers. Will recommend to friends and family! " (*Curated Review*)
