    I've spent months in Switzerland now and one thing that's been lacking was not just good Mexican,…read morebut even elevated Mexican. El Alebrije does both, and the passion is seen everywhere. Their menu is smaller, but it has the necessities and you can't go wrong. The drink menu is top notch and the cocktails are amazing. I was also fortunate to a stop by and an odd slow night and had some time with Miguel, the owner, and got to hear the story of how the place came to be and got a tour as well. It's going to. E a regular stop when we're in town for sure.

    El Alebrije is in a lovely spot because all I have to do is jump on the 7 tram and, shazam, here I…read moream! Woop! I like how sort of tucked away this place is. I like the location. The people working here are very friendly and attentive. The cocktails are fantastic. I was really impressed with them! And the jalapeño margarita is freaking spicy, but yummy. So, the food was good, but I wasn't completely blown away. We ordered the vegetarian tacos, and the stuffed poblano pepper with vegetarian filling. We came here with some good friends and they ordered the same, except with meat. Funnily enough, my husband accidentally got the poblano pepper with meat, and didn't realise it until he ate half and I had a taste. What an absolute goob... some "vegetarian". But I digress. I really appreciate how much care they give to their customers and I do love their cocktails. Their food is very expensive for what we ate. Yes, we only had vegetarian (sort of... haha) so maybe the meat options are a bit tastier. In the end, we had a lovely evening.

    -authentic Mexican food and drink so far from North America? Well, shucks, that's just great!…read more I found a decent assortment of tequilas and mescal. 'Abuelita' chocolate, and, oh, um, CORN TORTILLAS handmade in CH really caught both my eye and pocket book. Aside from consumables, El Mais sells festive pinatas of various shapes and sizes, earthen ware, arty and funky Frieda Kahlo themed hand bags, and much more! Unable to go into the shop and purchase directly? Well, El M have a website set up for your buying pleasure! Don't forget to check out the band, too. :)

    So, I stumbled upon El Maiz as I was walking through the neighborhood looking for something else…read more Luckily, I'd previously read about the store here on Yelp. So, when I was done doing my other errand, I popped in and was pleasantly surprised. I was immediately greeted warmly and asked if I needed any help. I told them that I'd just like to look around. The shop is split into the grocery side and the gift/decor side. I happened to be much more interested in the grocery side. It's small but it has a lot... a lot more than I'd found anywhere in Europe in the almost 9 years I've been here. Tomatillos (almost impossible to find in my searches)... fresh and canned, some good quality tequilas, hand/homemade goodies of all sorts. I bought some chips and tamales and I'm really looking forward to trying them. My wife is jealous that I got to go but she didn't... therefore, I know that we'll be back soon.

    As an American in Zurich I would say this place is getting a bad wrap from what appears to be…read morelocals. I had the chicken burger with cornflake breading, it was hot and lettuce was fresh. Fries were hot and also fresh, the shaker of table seasoning was nice (possibly old bay). This is one of the better and least pretentious meals I've had all week including a McD burger that had a nasty red pepper yogurt dressing for 15 CHF. PJ's is much better and fresher than an Applebee's. I didn't try the ribs so I can't compare to a Chilis. I would say the food is closer to a Red Robin for quality and taste. Portions are generous as well. Like everything else about Zurich it's expensive for what you get.

    We were ready for a change from Austrian/ Swiss food and…read morewere attracted by cheeseburgers and Tex-Mex. Disappointing. The restaurant was nearly empty and they tried to sit us in a a two-seater so crammed in to the next one, we had to ask to be reseated. The second one was only slightly better. I ordered pulled pork tacos, which came with fries, and my husband ordered the cheeseburger and fries. He deemed the burger mediocre and enjoyed the fries. My three pork tacos looked great. The flour soft shells were fresh, the pulled pork was tasty but COLD. I had a glass of decent Pino Grigio. My husband had tap water. Our waiter never came back to check on us. We walked up to the bar to ask for our bill. The guys said, Thanks, have a good day." I said, "We need to pay." Our bill was $60!" Suffice it to say we were disappointed. Don't bother!
