El Muchacho Alegre

My hubby works late hrs. So we like to go here for dinner. Amazing food. Friendly ppl. Their Muchacho Alegre plate delicious and spicy. And byob. You gotta try it.

The reason why this place doesn’t get a five star for me is because I’ve been ordering here for years sometimes the meat is good sometimes the meat tastes like I just got scraped off the grill along with everybody else’s order I can taste the charcoal and its not good sometimes are good sometimes they’re bad I don’t go there lately because it’s just too iffy I’m not sure what it’s going to be any more so I rather go to El Gordo’s that is just down Belmont where
food is great every time

My family and I frequently have dinner here. The shrimp soup is delicious. I also love the enchiladas. The chips are served warm the prices are affordable and they also have a vegetarian menu.

I work in three different schools and one of them happens to be less than a block away from this restaurant. The other options are Subway or Wing Stop, so I have been here many a times. It is pretty good. Is it the most amazing tacos I have ever had? No. But does it hit the spot when I am craving tacos at work? Yes. I like their al pastor tacos and their guacamole. And their service is very friendly!
If you are on a time limit for dining in, I would recommend calling in your order because their food takes awhile…

The tacos, burritos, rice, beans, chips, and salsa… All very good! :) I’ve been here too many times and even went through the phase of coming here once a week. Very friendly staff here as well!

Amazing service and delicious food. I have a habit of making difficult orders. Or irregular orders I like extra meat and to hold certain toppings the waitress didn’t even blink an eye and she was pleasant throughout my entire meal.

I love this place. I’ve tried their tacos, enchiladas, flautas, and camarones a la Diabla. Delicious!!! Small place, fast service.

I really like Mexican food, and I’ve been to quite a few local restaurants, including Nuevo León, which is my #1. This place is a close #2, and it is deserving of 5 stars. First of all, I HATE horrible customer service, which includes places with unfriendly wait staff. Not here! The young lady who helped us was super sweet, and she made us want to come back. Now, my 5 stars is based solely upon the meal I selected. I don’t care too much about the ambiance and things like that, but overall, this «hole-​in-​the-​wall» restaurant was clean as a whistle. By the way, «hole-​in-​the-​wall» is not a negative description in my mind. I mean, Nuevo León falls in that category too. Now, if you want foo-​foo, so-​so food at ridiculously high prices, and it makes you FEEL better because you spent a lot of money… Goto the Gold Coast. I’m more interested in good flavor at reasonable prices. All I have to say is… Steak Burrito for $ 6.95 with a Horchata… What did Lynyrd Skynyrd’s mom say? Be a simple man!
You can thank me later.

I hate to give a bad review because the staff was very friendly, but the food warrants it. I was craving tacos Tuesday night and because l’patron was closed I decided to try somewhere new. The place looks like your typical hole in wall Mexican joint. I ordered the taco dinner and an order of nachos. The nachos were just kinda weird. Melted cheese randomly throughout and blobs of sour cream and guac. They weren’t awful but nothing great. It was the tacos that really disappointed. The meat was very bland and the toppings were just off. They advertised onions but I didn’t taste them. Mostly just lettuce and tomato. I like my seasoned meat greasy and with a punch of flavor. This place doesn’t do that. Seems like it would be decent drunk food, but not great dinner food. Also, my boyfriend ordered tacos with no lettuce and they gave him lettuce, so there’s that.

Came here for breakfast & had chilaquiles verdes which were fantastic! I was surprised to see they didn’t have a Unilocal page given the quality of the food.
Also, the prices are so cheap! $ 5.50-$ 6.00 for chilaquiles, huevos rancheros, etc?! I’m in.
Our server (the only person in there from what we could see) was the absolute sweetest. She smiled a lot and wanted to make us feel welcome.
Was also pleasantly surprised to see they took debit. I’ll definitely be back.
