Alebrijes Cafe — Restaurant in Dallas

From the moment I stepped into Alebrijes Cafe, I knew I was in for a treat.

The walls are adorned with whimsical alebrijes, which bring a unique and joyful atmosphere to the dining experience.

As for the food quality, it’s clear that Alebrijes Cafe takes pride in serving dishes made from fresh, high-quality ingredients.

When you walk into Alebrijes Café you’re immediately greeted by the beautiful couple that owns Alebrijes. But it doesn’t feel like you’re being greeting into an establishment but into your Tia’s and Tio’s home. I immediately felt welcomed and at home, in a restaurant. I was greeted with hola hermosa, and preciosa and princessa, the care and love is very much felt. The menu is on the wall to your right and you’re able to look at the entire menu at once. I’ve been twice, and both times, I was greeted the same exact way and felt the same. The love you feel is absolutely expressed in the food as well. The first time I went for breakfast and had the heuvos rancheros, and it was absolutely delicious. The second time I went, I had the papas tacos and they were amazing. The food is beyond “good” or “great” or “full of flavor.” Yes, both dishes tasted amazing, but it was beyond just what I tasted. The experience I had brought me back to being a kid visiting my Abuelita, and as an adult now I see, she wasn’t just making me food, she was creating a dish made with love. While I couldn’t see how the food was being made, I felt it was made with the same care and love my Abuelita made her food for me those weekends when I visited her. Food just tastes different when it’s made from love. I cant just say the food was good, or great because it reached beyond what I tasted, but how I felt. The second time I went I invited my coworkers for lunch because I wanted to share the experience and they loved it just as much as I did. From beginning to end my experience was beyond anything I’ve ever experienced in Dallas, at a restaurant. It doesn’t even feel right calling it a restaurant. It feels like home....

Not sure how to start, but it began with excitement due the the nice reviews I saw. So much that I invited a good friend to meet me there and I took my son, it was 3 of us. We were offered homemade pastries during our wait which I loved. Unfortunately I regret going there. The food was not very flavorful, I must admit. My son and I had to add salt to our food which we rarely have to do when eating out. But the disappointment was discovered after I left. My friend paid the gracious lady $20 to deduct from the ticket while I was gone to the restroom. So I unknowingly paid the full amount, with no details of what I was paying for on the receipt. It was a custom amount according to the receipt texted to me. For the 3 of us, the tab came out to $62.24, and after we left, my friend asked me if I was given $20 off and that's when she explained to me what she did. Come to find out, my friend was told that they had applied it towards the tip. For 3 people in a humble environment, mind you 2 of us ate breakfast and the other enchiladas, that tab turned out to be pricey 😞 A...
