El Muchacho Alegre just opened. My visit was May 2nd 2022. This new Mexican restaurant is in the original Don Pablo’s building behind Barnes and Noble. It was nice to see this location open again.

Just went 2 days ago, definitely recommend! It was a slow hour, so we didn’t have to wait long for the food. We ordered their octopus, fried tacos, and fried red snapper. Delicious! Some would argue about the price, but as far as quality, service, presentations, and freshness go I thought it was pretty fair.

Loved the atmosphere and the food was so good! The Pollo Loco was delicious and highly recommended. The staff was working so hard to please the customers and making sure everyone was satisfied. Check them out asap and enjoy! A little more upscale than your typical average restaurant. So nice and had some live music.

I have been here twice and had a great dinner and experience each time. I had the beef, chicken and cheese enchiladas. The red enchilada sauce which was excellent. The enchiladas were very good. Chips were fresh and salsa was excellent. Friendly staff. I travel through Clive often and will continue to visit this place. Prices are going up everywhere. Prices were fair priced

We had friendly and quick service from a nice young man. Our chips were fresh and the salsa was tasty. I ordered mango shrimp ceviche, and it was tasty and perfectly spiced. The prices are higher than some, but not outrageous. They have lots of seafood options. The drink menu is fairly extensive with lots of margarita and michelada options.

Went there recently and the food was disgusting. Food was not flavored or seasoned well. For the price, you’d expect good food but no. Overpriced food for “lunch menu” and was bad quality food. Waitress hardly checked on us too. Extra charge for using card is ridiculous too. Don’t recommend to anyone.

We had a wonderful experience here. The veggies on my steak quesdilla were fresh and not soggy. My husband also enjoyed his chori pollo. Great margaritas as well. We had a very tentative server and were checked on several times, by I would guess the manager. The space is very large and decor is nice. We will be back!
