Great food and great service! Everything we had was delicious. A local gem you don't want to miss.

What a pleasant surprise. We went to Hirsch's Meat Market to pick up a prime rib roast for Christmas dinner, and stopped by Alexander's for lunch. It is not a pretentious place, but small and warm. We were seated promptly, ordered guacamole for an appetizer, then chile rellenos for the main course. The chile relleno is the star of the show. You have your choice of three fillings, but cheese was our choice. It comes with the classic ranchero sauce, not some of the weird toppings I have seen at some restaurants. The chile was loaded with cheese, and cooked just right. The only downside to the meal was the guacamole. It was too salty. We like it salty, but this was a little much. It was devoured anyway, but just a word of warning to those who don't like salty food. The service was attentive; the lady pleasant. Bottom line - we will be back to explore other items on the menu. I hear the chicken mole calling me. read more

Unfortunately we went on probably their first week being open, and with a party of ten, with a reservation. Almost every table was taken. Service was just slightly discombobulated. We got there at 6:30 PM and our food eventually showed up at 8:15 PM. The friend sitting next to didn't eat his tortilla soup because he didn't like the taste. I took my meal home and ate on Saturday night. Will we go back? If we do try it again it will not be with a large group. The staff was very courteous and apologetic. read more

Loved this little hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. Got the queso blanco and enjoyed it. They have great HH specials on margs. House marg on the rocks with tajin was delicious and a great price. Then finished if off trying their spinach and cheese enchiladas with veggies on top and it was a fantastic healthy option. I wish more places offered a healthy-ier option. Great service and give you the family business vibe. read more

Went here for my husband's birthday and the food was very tasty. The guac was super fresh, I think it is the best I have had in the DFW area. The queso was good, I think it could use a little more spice but that's a personal preference. The quesadilla and enchiladas were very good. Service was quick and our waitress was very helpful. The restaurant is cozy and had a good ambiance. read more

Fantastic food and excellent service! Brisket tacos and happy hour all day! We will definitely be back!!!

We had lunch here. Busy Monday lunch time. We ordered Beef Quesadillas and Taco Salad. They taste delicious. Server is friendly and helpful. Nicely decorated Mexican Restaurant, a hidden treasure off 15th Street, Plano TX. Parking spaces available. read more

Alexander's Restaurant owned by a great family, Bernardo and Claudia. Their fajitas tonight were excellent! We ate too fast and didn't get pictures, lol. Their Margaritas are amazing. My favorite is Alexander's Margarita. Margaritas Love their Tres Leche cake and Churros and ice cream. Can't go wrong with anything on the menu. read more

Ok but not great, 3.5 rating. We were so excited to try this local spot, unfortunately we left a little disappointed. The chips and salsa/bean dip were really tasty. I ordered the enchilada plate (2) and they were very small in size, also they messed up my order but I didn't say anything (not a big deal but asked for no beans, extra rice). The flavor of the enchiladas were good, my favorite was the chicken with sour cream sauce. The beef fajitas were not that good, the meat looked a little off and the taste wasn't great. Open to returning and trying other items but do not recommend the beef fajitas. read more

Amazing find! Cozy family owned and the second you walk in you are warmly welcomed by staff and most amazing smell of delicious food coming from the kitchen. Our waitress Leti was amazing! Definitely try the mole! read more

Amazing food! I got the carne asada and it was delicious. Was still sizzlin and the grilled onions were succulent. Horchata wasnt to bad. I want to try the enchiladas next time. All the food looked and smelled great. Friendly staff read more

This is my second visit to this location. I was there on June 26th. This time we were able to come together as a family and enjoy the ambiance, food, and fellowship with each other. Everybody enjoyed their meal. Salsa and chips and bean dip was phenomenal. My son had his usual Burger with modifications of ketchup and cheese only. From my memory, surprisingly he was not able to take the whole thing down this time. I think I ended up eating it as a leftover. My daughter had the tacos Al Carbon, My wife had the al alambre, And I ended up sampling the Victoria's pasta. Like I said, everything was great, especially the staff at attending to our every need. It was a week night so it was not super busy. I can remember the first time we went where it was crowded and there was a wait, but the wait was well worth the time that it took us to get in there. This is definitely a stop. I will make again, as there are many items on the menu that I am eager to try! Try! Shout out to the owners as this is a small business, and I sent PRAYERS up for much success with this endeavor! read more

My first day back from Vacay and I was craving Tex Mex. None of my usual haunts seemed appealing at the time. Maybe residual " Hunters Malady" from the challenge of tracking down all that great food on Kauai. Dialing in the local Yelp,a newby poped up. A superfluous perusal of a couple of reviews indicated it may be a find. It was early afternoon about 3 and the place was empty. Never a good sign. We ordered and the food came out hot in a reasonable amount of time. The chips were good but the salsa was served in tiny plastic condiments to go cups? Not cool My Tex Mex plate was just ok. The chili concarne which makes or breaks the dish wasn't quite there. Obviously this mom and pop is trying. They opened last January and appear to be struggling somewhat. I should have looked closer at the reviews before coming. The high 4 and 5 Stars were given by folks with only 25 or so reviews. I'd wait on Alexanders. read more

The neighborhood corner restaurant is a small family owned eatery. Very basic, no frills, friendly Mexican restaurant. If you are looking for an upscale restaurant...keeping looking. If you and others are just looking for a casual place for a bite to eat...try this place. We ordered a tamale plate, compadre enchiladas and mar y Tierra. The food and service overall was acceptable. read more

I had Alexander cater my housewarming party and I was so pleased with everything! They delivered on time, set it all up and all my guests loved the food... the chicken and beef enchiladas were superb and the beef tacos were so easy to assemble. I had so much left over and was able to send food home with some of my friends. The pricing was reasonable as well. Highly recommend Alexander's!! read more

We went to Alexander's for lunch today from the recommendation from neighbors on ND. TBH, I'm kind of burnt out on the eateries I frequent and I wanted to try something new and local. Places I like, PB don't like, so I had to choose from Mexican, Italian and seafood and I chose Alexander's to try and I'm glad I did and my neighbors were right. It's a small, cozy eatery adjacent left from Eddy's Pizza. We were greeted by Claudia(hostess/server). She is very friendly and welcoming. We started out with 3 different kinds of salsa and chips and they were delicious. We ordered Queso blanco and guacamole and shrimp tacos(comes with refried beans and rice)and shrimp quesadilla. They were right amount of food and very tasty. We had room for desserts, so we ordered Tres Leche cake and Sopapilla with ice cream. I got coffee with my cake. They were so delicious. We highly recommend it! We can't wait to return to try other items. read more

Try the fish tacos.They are very good! The service was good and they have a good health inspection report which is very important to us!

My family members have met here several times for dinner. We always enjoy our meal and the cozy, family-run atmosphere. This is a great place for a casual meal and the menu offers something a little different than what I usually find. read more

Excellent food, great service, and a warm atmosphere--this place really has everything. The staff is always friendly and attentive, and the dishes are consistently delicious. After several visits, I can honestly say it's my favorite place so far read more

At this point, have tried close to everything on the menu and I've liked everything, cannot say that about any other restaurant.

This is a small neighborhood joint in Plano. (My favorite kind of place) Chips were fresh and salsa on point. Nice spice level. Bean dip could be sold by the quart. House margarita was tasty. The chicken enchiladas with the poblano cream sauce were fantastic. Lunch menu under $10 bucks. Several choices on sauce, choose poblano. Beans and rice are very authentic and tasty, especially covered with the salsa. Service was outstanding. I'll have to return as they were out of strawberry tamales. read more

Tasty food, good service. And the place was full of locals too! Would go back there and eat again.

What a gem! Definitely my new go-to Mexican spot. Family-owned, and absolutely authentic, delicious food. Their drinks are also top-notch, and the prices are very reasonable. This place deserves recognition and I plan to spread the word to as many locals as I can. Plano: please support local, family-owned businesses and give this place a try. You won't regret it. read more

Simple restaurant but great margaritas and their Brisket Quesadillas are the bomb! This was my third time eating here in a week. My only complaint is the Street Corn. It tasted like it was frozen and I know corn isn't in season so they should make it a seasonal item. Service is excellent! read more

I have been wanting to try Alexander's after seeing good reviews from Nextdoor neighbors. It is not the easy place to find, but conveniently located on 15th St & Custer in strip center on N. E. quadrant. Think Firestone store, Eddies Pizza, and Fred's famous steak and cheese! Though Mexican cuisine is their focus, they have many Tex Mex choices on the menu. I typically like meat dishes, and very pleased with the selections. Chips, salsa and bean dip were special. Had the Carne A La Tampiquena, and could not have been more pleased. Grilled sirloin (I asked and got medium rare), grilled smoked sausage, Mexican rice, charro beans, avocado slices, and a cheese soft taco. The size was such that I took home half of the order, which made the $19 price even more reasonable. Service was spot on. Their menu is unique, varied with many Mexican and Tex Mex selections. Will be on my favorites list, as there are a number of other dishes I will try. May be hard to top the one I had! Give Alexander's a try as they are a local family owned business offering something for every one, including Lunch Specials and Happy Hour drinks. I always enjoy seeing neighborhood restaurants like this thrive. BTW - nice patio weather permitting. read more

Food was flavorful. Elote was good. Service was decent. Environment was laid back/chill. Great atmosphere. Would come back

Owners are very nice, food is tasty. Not as fresh on weeknights..... we will probably only go at busier times.

Food , service and margaritas are excellent. Tex Mex platter was very good and the ribeye fajitas had a great flavor and quite tender. I highly recommend this neighborhood restaurant. read more

Ate dinner here on Tuesday night around 8:00 October 14th, I had only eaten breakfast early in the morning, so I was very hungry. I order Don Pedro plate, beef tacos with Serrano peppers beans and rice . My wife had the tortilla soup. When the food arrived taco's were very soggy and completely fell apart, I told the waitress and she brought 2 extra corn tortillas, my wife tortilla soup was chicken covered with thick cheese no liquid chicken broth at all - a big thick non ate-able chunk of chicken with thick coating of cheese, she ate half a bite and spit it out . This was the worst meal.She told the waitress about it , and waitress asked if there was something else she wanted, my wife said no bc she lost here appetite. What is so surprising to me - don't the cooks look at the food they are serving. Soggy tacos and thick cheese over chicken and they call it tortilla soup ! Waitress did not charge for the soup. I ate the meat after I got fresh tortillas, rice wasn't that good either and charro beans were ok , if I wasn't so hungry I would have left and gone somewhere else. This will be the last time I go here. My final words is to the cook - LOOK AT WHAT YOU ARE SERVING!!! read more

We Just had the best brisket tacos, crispy beef tacos, and brisket enchiladas!! It's so much better than the usual Tex-Mex, from the rice & beans, the taco meat & brisket, to the salsa & queso. It was our first time there and we'll definitely go back weekly. Inside is actually really nice and nothing like I was expecting. They have a full bar and it felt like I was on vacation somewhere in Mexico. You could tell the staff was dedicated and genuinely nice, which you rarely see anymore. This is a great restaurant for our neighborhood, and at the least, on occasion go help support..one delicious bite at a time. read more

Very tasty food and margaritas here! The brisket enchiladas are my favorite. The staff is very friendly and attentive as well. It's become one of our "regular" favorites. read more

Excellent ribeye fajitas and great portions! The bean dip is to die for. The rice is so moist, I could make a meal off of that! I'm just sorry we waited so long to come here! Very friendly and attentive service, too! read more

It wasn't super busy which worried me a little but the food was outstanding! We were greeted immediately, chips, salsa, and bean dip were brought right out and delicious. Corona's were $4, house marg $5.50, skinny marg $7, entrees were $15 and under and everything was homemade and authentic. You can go to all the other chain'ish type places and spend twice as much but this is authentic Mexican food that is delicious! We will be back! read more
