Very nice Mexican restaurant in town. They opened in 2019 (I think, according to their "4th year anniversary" sign in 2023), just before covid, but survived it. Glad they did, since we really enjoyed our food here! There is outdoor seating that looks nice, on the deck. It isn't anything spectacular, but if you're not into smelling all the oils/smoke from the fajitas etc indoors, stay outside. We had the parrillada norteña ($40) The dish is for 2, and comes in this cooking pan over a flame - but there was no flame. It was more for show. A little flame under the pan would actually have been pretty good in keeping our food warmer... but it was delicious nevertheless. The tortillas that came with the dish were corn, and lightly oiled before getting grilled (I think), and it was delicious. All the grilled steak, ribs, chicken and veggies were delicious. The cactus was interesting for first timers (me!), and not necessarily my favorite. Hubby and I each got a separate dish of rice, beans, guac, salad, etc. Overall, very tasty and enjoyable.

My wife and I ate here for dinner. When we arrived there wasn't many people. The food was fairly decent. Would recommend the El Alegre Taco Pastor and the Baja Avocado if you decide to eat here. However, the service was super slow. It took about 20 minutes until the server came over to order our food. They had served another small group that came after us also. Also, we had only 1 water refill and was never asked if we wanted refills on the chips. I heard the server asked a few other groups if they wanted chip refills.

This place has amazingly delicious and authentic Mexican foods and the presentation of their dishes is equally as impressive! The vegetables were very fresh and they're is an impressive array of vegetarian meals available. I am very cautious of Mexican restaurants because I have an allergy to peppers (not the spice). The server was very attentive and assured me there would be no peppers in my food and he absolutely did make sure. I was there at lunchtime and the food came very quickly. Highly recommend!
Very good lunch. Great tasting and fresh. Restaurant was very clean. The staff was welcoming and polite. The server visited our table several times to refill drinks and make sure the lunch was to our liking. I will be back and recommend it to anyone in the area looking for a solid Mexican cuisine option.

One of the worst Mexican restaurants I have had. My carne asada was not that good. The beef was touch and flavorless. I didn’t finish the whole thing. Fajita was alright but very pricey for the portion. I wasn’t also impressed with the customer service. The waiter was rude and has little empathy. He spoke very fast and when I expressed that I didn’t understand, he didn’t bother to slow down or help explain. He made a lot of assumptions. We asked him a question and he made us feel stupid for not knowing. He served some chips and salsa and asked if we wanted guacamole to go with it. So we asked if it cost extra for guacamole. And he scoffed and said of course, we’re not giving things out for free. Didn’t feel comfortable the whole time and felt looked down upon for not knowing things. First and last time… Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $10–20
Stopped on our way to the Dells. The best Mexican food I have ever had. The chips and salsa, Al pastor sope, and hibiscus Margarita were all delicious. Service was great! Service Dine in Meal type Lunch Price per person $10–20 Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4

Fantastic food. The ingredients are fresh and you can tell. Everything I have tried here was very tasty. They have many of the more traditional Mexican dishes that you don't find at other Mexican restaurants. Decent selection of imported beers and one of the best Tequila destinations in the area. I highly recommend El Alegre if you are a fan of Mexican food. Service Dine in Meal type Dinner Price per person $20–30

we ate at the restaurant today, around 5 pm, wasn't too crowded but good atmosphere. immediately started with water, chips, and salsa :) lovely service, and the food was amazing. i got a steak burrito and my cousin got the pastor tacos, both we super filling and delicious. horchata was house-made and also yummy. definitely going back for more w the local friends.
