El Alegre Mexican - Deforest

Amazing good! Have to try the Parrillada!! Best Mexican food I’ve ever had, wish we live closer! Food: 5 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 5

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.
