Alebrije Mexican Restaurant & Bar

My wife and I tried here as the menu stated it accommodated gluten free folks. What a Find, we both ordered the 3 taco specials, we both changed our tacos to (hers) chicken, onion, cilantro and cheese only, mine was grilled steak. BEST TACO'S we have EVER eaten, Anywhere in our lives. Yes, we've been to Mexico many times. They said they will make some GF desserts, so we can have those next time too. Can NOT wait to come back here in March with the adult kids. Looked like could use a few more customers, only writing this so they stay in business, not to make a giant wait next time we come. Go Here, they deserve the business, for the phenomenal food they put out. We'd give 10 stars if we could too, like another reviewer said

Such a unique Mexican restraunt, we spoke to Douglas and he explained the tedious process that goes into every meal/side. while other restaurants use premade mixes Alebrije does everything by hand from scratch. Personally I loved the award winning Baja bowl and cauliflower bowl. the atmosphere of the restaurant was warm welcoming and kind, I loved the open concept and the staff was exceptionally kind.

Finished snorkeling and wanted nachos. Looked up the closest Mexican restaurant and found Alebrije's (soon to be Tequila's Mexican). Decided to give it a try. Walked in, was warmly greeted. Sat at the bar. Had a great conversation with the owner before ordering drinks. Easy going all the way. Right off the bat, this isn't Taco Bell. It's not Alberto's Taco Shop. It isn't your typical faux Mexican/American fare. This place is genuine, costal Mexican seafood cuisine. If you left a negative review because you wanted a bean burrito with sour cream or a chimmichanga, that's on you. Ordered a Hibiscus Margarita and a Mescal Mule. Oh man....that mule was fantastic! Never had a smoky mule before, absolutely hit the spot. For food, we got the ceviche and breaded octopus. Both were fantastic! Octopus presentation looked like the coral we'd just been diving. The sauce was amazing, slight tang of mustard with just the right amount of spice. Asked for a small cup of the sauce, and the owner went right to the back to grab it. Solid. Talked more with the owner, had a great time....right up until a crazy cat lady walked in and sat down next to my wife. Cut off our conversation with the owner and started complaining about things. Salsa was cold, waitress doesn't speak good enough English. Owner went to the back and she immediately launches into a negative tirade about everything at the restaurant. I asked her...."why are you here, then?" Dirty look. Owner came back, we paid our bill, shook his hand, and left. If an older lady sits next to you with a wrist full of bracelets and complains about the temp of the salsa...... .....RUN. We'll be back!!

Went for lunch with my cousin and the service was top tier. We were seated quickly and the drinks were great. We went around 1pm and it wasnʻt busy, so we had some happy hour drinks and food. It was a great portion and we shared the guac, enchilada, and frijoles. The food tasted great and came out quickly. We are staying at the HIlton nearby and we definitely want to do another meal here before we leave. We got the guava margarita and it had a nice, balanced flavor. It wasnʻt too syrupy or sweet and the alcohol wasnʻt overpowering. With the chamoy tajin rim, it was a great starter for the meal.

I would give them 10 stars if I could. My husband and I popped in on a whim and we can’t wait to come back during our next vacation. We had a fabulous lilikoi margarita with delicious chips and salsa to start with, followed by a vegan cauliflower bowl and pork enchiladas. Every single bite we had was out of this world-so much flavor is imparted into each and every dish. The beans and sauces stood out just as much as everything else. Staff is super friendly as well. We can’t wait to come back!

Stopped in after snorkeling for an afternoon snack. Hibiscus margarita had that punch and tart of the hibiscus and lime without being overly sweet. The ceviche was fresh and perfectly balanced. Ginormous selection of tequilas and the mescal mule is a must. We chatted with the owner, super nice guy. Crazy dark haired lady (customer) was a downer, but I'd still go back.

My husband and I enjoyed our dinner here, it’s a very nice restaurant. The food is so delicious . If you are looking for fresh and tasty food from the Mexican cousin this place is your spot. The chef was super nice and talked to us about his signature dish and how he makes everything from scratch. Highly recommend.

I recently dined at Alebrije Hawaii, and I must say, it's the best Mexican food I've tasted outside of Mexico! What impressed me the most was their thoughtful inclusion of vegan options. I opted for the soy chorizo chilaquiles, which were absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with a side of beans. The meal started with fresh corn chips and salsa, both of which were exceptionally flavorful—the chips were delightfully crispy, and the salsa had just the right balance of flavors without being too spicy. My husband tried the enchiladas suizas and declared them the best he's ever had! We were both impressed with the generous portions and how well each plate was prepared. The staff even accommodated our baby by providing sides of beans and avocado. To complement our meal, we enjoyed margaritas made with high-quality tequila and no additives, reflecting the restaurant's commitment to excellence in every aspect. Their extensive knowledge of tequilas was evident, and I'm looking forward to trying a tequila flight on my next visit to sample more of their offerings. Beyond the outstanding food and drinks, the staff's warmth and helpfulness added to our dining experience. It's clear that Alebrije Hawaii is a labor of love, being family-owned by owners hailing from Mexico City. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience that left us eager to return and explore more of their menu. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors in a welcoming atmosphere!
