Reviews for Alebrije Mexican Restaurant in Reading, PA
The drinks were great and the servers were nice. However, the food was just not good at all. The salmon was raw in the... middle. The food had no flavor, and their cheesy dip was congealed the moment it came out. I tried to enjoy it because of thegreat atmosphere but the food was a waste of money. The drinks made the experience Read more
It's a bit different than most Mexican restaurants in the U.S. in that it has an open floor. Also has a bit of a fancy menu, but... the prices are what you'd expect. Food is quite good. Margarita selection is large - I recommend the jalapeño margarita. Read more
We have been going here at least once a week or every other since they opened. Service is usually good and friendly. We know... most people who work here and the owners from being there so much since they opened many year ago. I love their frozenmargarita! Coke is on point if you are a soda drinker, the carbonation is perfect. The food comes out much faster than food at afast food restaurant, and we always wondered how they do it. The chips and salsa is amazing that comes free when you are firstseated. We buy their chips and salsa to have at home as well. My only complaint there is the price has gone way up for thetakeout chips and salsa. But I still buy it because it?s so good. I can count on one hand how many times something has been lessthan desirable at this restaurant in all the years of going there. I love them and I love their food, what can I say?! Read more
Spontaneously decided to go out for Mexican food. We were torn between Moe's and never tried before Alebtije. Decided on... Alebrije because I wanted a sit down evening dinner with service and a hot and plated dish. It was getting close to closing buthostess assure us we had plenty of time for a nice dinner. Waiter was excellent and during my time of sauce uncertainty,recommended a sauce. He also allowed me to tailor my meal in a slight way that isn't even on the menu. He was very pleasantand easy going. Kudos to the waiter. They also offered up more sauce for our chips. The food came out quickly and wasexcellent. Plate looked like the menu picture. Portion was just right and tasted excellent. I would recommend when your tastebuds are looking for Mexican flavors. Only down side is they didn't have hot tomollies on the menu...but I have yet to find arestaurant that has them on the menu.

We celebrated a co-workers wedding shower and got the Texas Sampler from the catering menu. Food was great, reasonably priced,... and delivered my food!! Definitely will be ordering again for work events. Read more
We were first time visitors and from start to finish we give this restaurant, at this location 5 stars. Our visit was mid-week... slightly after 4pm. We were seated as soon as we walked in, and our server was pleasant. My husband and I ordered empanadas asan appetizer and they came out quickly, fresh, and delicious. My husband ordered tacos and I ordered the Chimichanga and theyboth looked great and tasted even better. The server was great, the restaurant was cute and clean and the food came out fast,was fresh, very flavorful and very good. We will visit again. Our two soda, appetizer, and meals cost roughly $50.00. Read more
Got the -Carne Asada street tacos-, "NO CILANTRO". Ordering no cilantro apparently also means, "no cilantro and NO ONIONS".... Disappointing! The corn tortillas are amazing and fresh. The tomatillo sauce was surprisingly spicy just the way I like it, butfor my wife it was followed up with a glass of milk lol. My wife had "Al Pastor tacos" which she said were good, but when youhave worked for a top notch Mexican restaurant in the past other places just won't measure up. We got there at about 8pm on afriday to order takeout, 10 minutes later we had our food and were headed home. The dine in atmosphere seemed really good, everyone seemed to be happy and enjoying themselves. Definitely worth the trip and menu prices are fair. Read more
If I could give this place a negative review I would. I ordered a margarita and the inside of the glass was dirty. I asked them... to remake it and they came back with the same glass, still dirty. Food was bland, had no flavor and drinks were not up to parfor the price. The empanadas were frozen and I?d highly recommend on the border instead. Read more
