Reviews for Alegrias Seafood Chicago in Chicago, IL
I hesitate to post this review because I selfishly don't want this place to get any more crowded. The food is delicious and the... portions are massive. When we sat down, after a slight wait they brought out complimentary fish tostadas. The salsa was good butsuper spicy so be careful. The oysters especiales we started with were decent but the star of the show was the whole fried redsnapper in Nayarit sauce. The plate has a massive fish, cooked perfectly, boatload of fries, rice, and salad all sitting aboveliquid gold a.k.a. Nayarit. I thought I was in heaven eating the bites toward the bottom of the plate that had been soaking inNayarit. My wife and father-in-law claimed their food was good too but I was so full and happy from mine that I didn't even lookat theirs. Can't wait to go again and try one of their enormous sharable platters. Read more
Absolutely delicious!! It was definitely worth it! It's expensive but worth it!!! Hard to find good parking area. We had to park... around to corner then walk to the restaurant. We got the Alegrias Special Delicious and such a big platter of food!! Read more
One of the best seafood restaurants within the Wicker Park neighborhood. Their large shareable seafood dinner (4-6) is... absolutely fulfilling. Everything was cooked to perfection, nothing was too salty or undercooked. I definitely was notdisappointed about this restaurant. The service here was good and attentive. This place does get busy, but once you get seatedand squared away, the food here is worth it. Read more
Alegrias has some of the most unique seafood dishes I've seen. The Piña Rellena was absolutely AMAZING. The amount and quality... of food for the cost is more than worth it. Plus, the service was fast and very friendly. Read more
A decent small business Mexican style seafood. Not over priced for portions serve. It is a byob and also offers on-site alcohol... mixed drinks Read more
The food was delicious as usual. It?s our go-to spot when we want to take a guest for great food. Don?t know what?s in their... house special sauce but it?s so addictive. But why only 4 stars? The prices seems to go higher and higher. They do indicate ifit?s MP (market price) on the laminated menu. Would be helpful if they printed out on paper or posted on a chalkboard what theMP is for the day. Definitely ask so you are not surprised when the bill comes. Read more
Always honest opinions. Was a bit disappointed. Love seafood but this was like an explosion on a plate. You can?t tell the... difference in anything. The shrimp, lobster and crab all tastes exactly the same because of the sauce they use. Nothing hadprices on the menu. The muscles I ordered were really dry. Like they cooked and sat in a window drying up. Overall gave it 4stars because I love seafood but probably won?t be back. Paid $150 for my plate and the shrimp weren?t even clean. Good but notworth the cost based on the quality of the seafood. Read more
I made a reservation at 7pm on Sunday to celebrate my Birthday. This local Seafood restaurant is definitely alot busier now, so... we were very pleased to see our server Liz work her magic to seat our party of 9 on the front patio! Liz is always veryattentive despite the hustle and bustle that comes along visiting a busy family restaurant! The short wait to be sat helped usget ready for a full night of non stop great seafood platters that our whole family loved! Read more
