" After few visits to different local spots, Puerto Alegre is by far my favorite! The flavors are explosive, especially in the carnitas tacos. I appreciated the homey feel of the restaurant and how the staff treated us like family. However, I did notice it got quite busy, and the noise level was higher than I would like. Still, the experience made me feel like I was back in Mexico. I'll be coming back soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" I had high expectations for Puerto Alegre, and they certainly lived up to it! The ambiance was lively, with music that added to the experience. I ordered the shrimp fajitas which were perfectly cooked — not overdone, just right! They even catered to my gluten allergy without any fuss. The only downside was the long wait time on a busy Saturday night, but the quality of the food made it worth it. I look forward to returning again soon! " (*Curated Review*)

" Puerto Alegre is such a cozy spot! My friends and I shared a few dishes, including the taco sampler, which was lovely. Each taco had its unique flavor profile, and the salsa was delicious! While we waited for our food, we enjoyed some drinks, and the margaritas were fantastic. I appreciate the authenticity and community vibe of this place. " (*Curated Review*)

" This restaurant holds a special place in my heart! The burritos are gigantic and so full of flavor. Plus, the service is always excellent — the staff really care about customer experience. They even remember my name from my last visit! If you want a spot that feels like home, Puerto Alegre is where you should go. " (*Curated Review*)

" My husband and I tried Puerto Alegre last weekend, and we were really impressed! The service was prompt, which was great because we were starving. I ordered the chicken mole, and it was heavenly! Just enough spice to wake up my taste buds. The margaritas were also better than average. Only a slight drawback was finding a parking spot nearby, but it was worth the trouble. I see why this place has such good reviews! " (*Curated Review*)

" On my visit to Puerto Alegre, the food was decent, but I feel the sauce could use more depth of flavor. I tried the chicken enchiladas but was a bit let down. However, the atmosphere was vibrant, with a mariachi band that was enjoyable. The service was attentive, and they made sure I had everything I needed. Overall, not the best Mexican food I've had, but still very enjoyable. " (*Curated Review*)

" I came across Puerto Alegre while exploring the Mission, and it was truly an experience. The mole verde was exquisite and the portion was generous. I noticed they had live music, which contributed to a festive atmosphere. It felt very community-oriented and made me feel connected to the culture of the food they serve. The only challenge I faced was the wait time, but the food was so rewarding that I would gladly wait again. " (*Curated Review*)
