Really nice restaurant in the heart of campus town. The decorations and vibes of the restaurant are great. There are tvs at the bar and music playing. It makes it a bit difficult to hear but also makes conversations more private. Definitely on the more expensive side but you definitely get your moneys worth in the atmosphere.

Nice place and atmosphere. Food looked great. I expected better-tasting food. It wasn’t bad, but not great. Not sure I would go back. Service was great.

Absolutely stunning restaurant! The ambiance is incredible here with the tall ceiling, loft and warm wood accents. The chandeliers are even authentic to the local area and Mexico, which just brings it’s charm to the next level. I was very pleased with the esthetic of the bathroom. It was very clean with colorful sinks and mirrors are so sweet. Super stoked to have a fine dining Mexican restaurant in the area!

So much yum! I recommend the Mexico City Sunrise cocktail, which is beautiful and delicious – it even has a candied hibiscus flower. The choco flan cake was also delicious. Service was great!

I highly recommend Alebrije. Right off the bat, the atmosphere was very welcoming. The service was great and our server was very knowledgeable and helped us select items from a great menu. Definitely have a Fresh Squeezed Margarita with chose of tequila. Started with Queso Fundido and ordered Chile Rellenos for an entree. I would definitely will dine here again when in town. Muchos Gracias Alebrije!

Hotel restaurants tend to be bland and overpiced. Alebrije is no exception. This place is pretty. High ceilings and nice decor. That’s the end of the nice things I have to say about it. Everything is beige. The walls, the food, everything. Entrees are overpriced and not particularly good. It’s not awful, but for the price you’d be insane to choose this place over the cheap burrito place around the corner, much less one of the more authentic Mexican places in town.

I would call this a solid place, the restaurant itself is super pretty, the service was a bit slow (considering the place was not busy at all) but the food was good (had the tacos, good amount of meat and the salsa it came with was tasty) but I think the best past were the margaritas, a bunch of tequila options! The music and ambiance was nice, honestly kinda quiet for a Friday night.

This place is amazing. Greeted immediately when came in the door. Seated right away. Ordered drinks- fresh house Margarita that was light – not overly sweet at all and a Michelada ( Bloody Mary with beer). Great heirloom Mexican nachos and prickly pear cactus leaf salad. A very fresh take on Mexican food. Staff was very accommodating as our son was running late. Stayed open past closing time so he could join us. Service and food were both phenomenal. Not your fast food Mexican restaurant. Upscale and unique menus. Decor was amazing. Very clean. We will be back
