I was curious as the the name of the restaurant "los alebrijos". The owner came outside and told us that there are hallucinogenic mushrooms in Mexico that give you visions of different types of colorful animals. The people then convert their images into paper mache figurines. This is a great place.

I had always imagined this restaurant to be an elegant one; the façade reminiscent of regional…read morecolonial architecture inviting new patrons to come and taste the delicacies of northern Veracruz, as well as a welcomed sticker letting Amex users know their credit card is accepted here. I imagined the decor and ambiance à la Nico's, with well-trained servers, white tablecloths, and handsome platings. However, my excitement soon turned into dread as I stepped inside the contradicting restaurant. It looked like a typical fonda that tried to be a sit-down eating establishment: a simplistic, almost non-existent decor, faux-leather tablecloths, and what I expected to be plain-tasting food served on a plate without any form of inspiration. We ordered with low expectations upon seeing the seemingly mass-made Pan Dulce, which probably came out of the factory-like ovens of Costco. Our food arrived on ordinary plates, but the food actually looked inviting. Handmade tortillas unexpectedly made an appearance along with a tasty looking salsa, and we slowly recuperated our appetite. The stellar dish was the Cecina, Veracruz-style, which was slightly thicker and not as dry as Yecapixtla Cecina, but still packed a ton of flavor and saltiness typical of a slab of cecina. Here you can pair your cecina with nearly everything, be it chilaquiles, scrambled eggs, dobladitas, a variety of enchiladas, or even as tacos. They also have a variety of regional specialties, such as Huastecas, Migadas, and Bocoles. Ultimately, the food makes you forget the decor, and that is a good thing. Either this place is an unconventional stroke of genius with so many instances of juxtaposition taking place, or just a circumstance of people cooking awesome food in a not so awesome restaurant. While I lean towards the latter, I would rather leave it for up for people who have not eaten here to decide for themselves.

It was a warmer evening that night and without being asked they brought over multiple fans to keep our group comfortable. (It was very appreciated) Someone ordered a mixed ceviche for the table that I cannot believe how amazing it was. The taste had almost an Asian flare to it which was phenomenal. I'm glad I ended up tasting because i had already ordered ceviche for my entree, but a different one. The shared ceviche we had as an appetizer far surpassed the one I ate for my entree. Don't get me wrong mine was delicious as well. I heard amazing things about everyone else's entree choices as well. I'd love to come back for the food the ambience and the service, highly recommend!
