Just walked out of this place after hubby and I took one bite of our entrees….it was a terrible from the moment we walked. Waitress had the personality of a wet rag. Loud house music was playing and the floors were super sticky!! Had some chips and some salsa. We tried all the salsas from the salsa bar, the corn salsa looked like it was there for a week. It looked dried out and they use larger cheap corn kernels so it’s super chewy. The mild salsa mixed with the hot made an ok salsa. Hubby ordered the fried cali burrito and it wasn’t even hot. I ordered one of the chicken entrees and it was swimming in grease. The rice was dried out and the beans were luke warm

Salsa Bar is a definite must. Freshness of everything is unsurpassed. So many skimp on the avocado, but Alejandro's is more than generous from their Salsa Mexicana (avocado based salsa) to the portion presented in the meal, it really set the mood for delicious Mexican repast. If you don't like avocado, that's OK (though something might be wrong with you), there are plenty of options that don't include avocado or guacamole. Was a little concerned about the quality of the food, as many "bars" are more interested in their alcohol sales and only offer food to keep the taps flowing. Here, it is a true delight to enjoy even the generous lunch portions. The Cuban Sandwich, which includes 3 kinds of hot meats and plenty of additional condiments (including avocado), is a double handful of goodness. If you have a willing dinning partner, have them drizzle the various salsas on your Cuban while you take each bite. It provides some excellent variety and allows you to keep ahold of the prize. The Steak Fajita Taco Salad is also generous with what appeared to be a home-made tortilla and nice blend of rice, beans, salad and condiments. For the salsa, it was a lot of fun to fill up multiple cups and try the 6 different varieties. Pre-COVID, they used to have even more variety of salsas, hopefully they will be able to get back to that in the future. Service was excellent & FAST. Absolutely loved it. Thanks for the great lunch.

This is probably the best Mexican restaurant I've ever been to and I've been to plenty. We've gone several times now. Every time we go, whatever meat is in the entree is plentiful and cooked properly. Everything always tastes fresh and is cooked just right. It might not be the fanciest fare in the world, but at least they get it right.

Fairly cheap! Somewhat of a strange atmosphere in the restaurant though. Oddly, all the windows were blacked out. The service was very fast. The entre food was adequate, fairly salty. The people were nice! The main gripe is the salsa bar! The presentation of it was quite gross. We tried all six types of salsa, here are the reviews: Mild red one: tasted like ketchup with the texture of very blended pasta sauce Spicy red one: very very very faint hint of spice on top of the ketchup/pasta sauce flavor The chunky green (avocado?) one: Literally no flavor, my glass of water was more flavorful. The corn one: Tasted like corn. The orange one (looks kinda like queso): this one tasted like mayonnaise but the aftertaste was mouth pain, not even spicy just kind of a burn. The blanco one: a very niche flavor. Kind of like ranch dressing mixed with a small amount of cake frosting. Truly odd. It should be noted that the salsa bar was free. You get what you pay for!
