Alejandro “Serious Mexican, Mariscos, & Fusion Food”

Wow! Yes, it’s great to have some serious Mexican food competition in the area! This restaurant is great! We were greeted by friendly staff and promptly seated. It was definitely busy! We got chips /salsa and our drinks right away. The chips are definitely made the right way, fresh! The salsa is flavorful! We had the carne asada burrito 2 different supreme ways and it is definitely satisfying! The chef (owner?) stopped by to ensure we had all our questions answered and then to make sure the food was good! We had the best experience!! My only negative comment is the spring rolls need some refinement. I would absolutely return but I probably wouldn’t order the spring rolls— there is no “Mexican” flare to me it seemed like bland shrimp with lettuce in a rice paper roll.

The burritos however were very flavorful! Sweet peppers and spicy peppers with amazing beef!! The tortillas were AMAZING!! Fresh veggies and avocados! The beans had great flavor and texture! The rice was good too!!

First of all the place is a vibe.
It’s has a modern feel to it. Nice for a casual margarita (which I had their watermelon one which tasted like a jolly rancher of how good!) and/or michelada which is what my boyfriend order. Their machaca (the jerky like steak) was the best I’ve ever had that I had to take a picture. I’m normally not a fan of tortilla soups cause they normally plain but not here. This soup was delicious! Seasoned well was great for a light lunch.

On top of all that the staff is super friendly!

Newly opened, family run restaurant. Food was outstanding. Very high quality and our service was excellent. The owner came out a couple times to check on us and make sure we were enjoying our experience. I had the burro owner percheron and it was huge! Definitely recommend this place. We will be back for sure.

Brand new Mexican Restaurants always have to live up to everyone's expectations of what "Mexican" is for them. For some it's hot, spicy and saucy, for others it's New Mexican, Hatch or Green Chili everything, others it's Tex Mex style , Northern or Sonoran. All of course, are preference and upbringing, but ask any Mexican and they will tell you it should taste like your grandma or Abuelita made it fresh for the family. And that is where we all end up. Alejandros name states it from the start. This is Serious Mexican Food and fusion of course. The appetizer we chose was the Abuela Chayitos Mexican Cheese Board and the star of that show is for sure the chorizo and the refried beans, that are accompanied by a selection of cheeses and tortillas and it was full of flavor and a twist on Mexican appetizers that was a surprise and worth trying twice... The main course was both the Beef Tacos Dorado's plate with Rice and beans and again great presentation and the flavor of the beef quickly made the decision for me, I'll order this plate every chance I get. And then there was Sobrina Isabel's Molcajete, and this is a delicious blend of shrimp, chicken and beef along with peppers and the sauce or broth was to say the least special, and I can't say enough about the blend and dance all the flavors do when laid on the tortilla and eaten. It was fantastic! Please save room for dessert, because Mirandas Fried Ice cream made the 5 year old in me feel great and but the Primo Gabriela's Sopapillas were light, fluffy and perfect and fyi they threw in some ice cream and that just knocked it out the park for me. Now if you keep up with my reviews you know I never give 5 stars until I have visited multiple times to ensure consistency but this place is the real deal. So for sure we will be back again and again. Tucson!! get out and support! The food alone deserves five stars on what was a very busy service for such a new place, but the energy and love you can feel from the staff would have made it a 5 star experience even if the food had only been satisfactory. So the food being a joy for a fat man's belly is just the cherry on top! Shout out to the family and staff that took care of everyone but our Server Ramona was sweet and attentive but Miranda was fun and I love the joy she finds in food and family!
