“ Great experience. Cheese dip was not good but the sour cream chicken enchiladas were fantastic! ”
“ I love the friendly personal service and the atmosphere in this building well over a century old. Local charm in a city established during the old West. ”
“ I had the special, chicken fajitas. The portions and price were reasonable and the service was great. ”
“ We had already eaten so didn't have much. I had tamales. We did go back in the morning and eat breakfast and I had the Migas. Both were very good. My son enjoyed his meal too. I think the wait staff is awesome and it's a really cute place. ”
“ Alejandra’s delivers fantastic food in a setting that has a classic Western feel, making it a great spot to sit down and enjoy a solid meal. The flavors really shine, and it’s clear care goes into the dishes. The only thing I wish they’d change is using fresh tortillas instead of store-bought ones, and swapping vegetable oil for lard to keep things more traditional. Those small details would take an already great experience to the next level. Overall, Alejandra’s is absolutely worth a visit for the food and atmosphere, with just a little room to lean even harder into its roots. ”
