Lunch special fajitas - mixed (steak chicken & shrimp)
Teresa M.

Stopped in on our way home from a trip to Costa Mujeres, because it's hard to let go of Mexico. We were greeted and seated immediately at around 130pm on a Tuesday. Establishment was clean & well decorated. Several imports on tap & a large menu. Chips and (big score here) INDIVIDUAL bowls for salsa - double dip with no fear or judgement! Chips were automatically refilled when empty. Food came out with hot food hot and cold food cold. There was an abundant of food on each plate, perhaps too much, as only 1 of 3 finished. Dishes were neither over-salted nor bland. There were sauce options to amp up the heat, as well as a variety of flavor profiles yo choose from on the menu. It's nice that it wasn't one note. We were too full for dessert, so that will have to wait til next time. Empty dishes were refilled or removed promptly. Timing for the wait staff was on point, though only 2 other tsbles were occupied, removing some of the rush hour challenges. Overall, we were very pleased with our experience.

Sumpreme Chimichangas

While visiting Alexandria, MN my wife and I decided to try the local Mexican cuisine and boy did it not disappoint! To start with the Salsa that came with the chips was spectacular, probably one of the best Mexican restaurant salsas I've had. The food was hot, tasty, and the perfect portion size for dinner with extremely quick service. The only disappointment was the margarita and it really wasn't that big of an issue but is the only reason I didn't give a 5 star review. The margaritas tasted fantastic but they lacked in alcohol so much we ended up asking if we had been given a nonalcoholic margarita. That being said we would definitely return if we happen to find ourselves back in Alexandria, MN.

Pick 3- chimichanga, chile relleno n burrito

Authentic, fresh and delicious food. We had the pick 2 and pick 3. Tamale, Chile Relleno, burrito and chimichanga- every lat one delicious. Service was great, food came out fast.

Dinner!

Great food! I ordered a steak and when they brought it out, it was still sizzling as if it had just been taken off the grill!

Acapulco Combo

Authentic Mexican food, good quality, tastes like my auntie made it. I def recommend El Michoacana if you're into steak or the Acapulco Combo if you like fish

Tried someplace new while in Alexandia. Who knew you could get such fresh and perfectly seasoned seafood from a Mexican restaurant?!! So good!! I was a little hesitant, looks like the building was once a Wendy's, but it has a nice bar area, clean booths and tables and observant staff. Best of all the food was great!

Fresh chips and salsa!! Very tasty!'

Very good place to eat at in Alexandria!! Definitely worth the stop! Staff very attentive and they take care of you!!! The food served very hot and quickly with great flavors!! Definitely coming back here! Thanks!!

Happy hour !

Terrible service, a bathroom toilet full of poop, marginal food and an incorrect bill. This place is a one and done for us.

Unfortunately, this visit was a disappointing experience at what is normally a stellar restaurant. We called ahead and made a reservation for five people. When we arrived, we were told they could "squeeze us" into a four-person booth and place a chair at the end. It immediately brought to mind the famous Seinfeld joke about knowing how to take a reservation, but not how to actually hold one. Mother's Day was the entire reason we chose to dine out, making it a special occasion for our family. Once we received the menus, we realized the restaurant had significantly limited the offerings, and our mother's favorite dish had been removed. When we asked if it was still available, the server responded, "We didn't want to burden the kitchen tonight." That answer was especially disappointing given the occasion and the expectations we've come to have for this restaurant. To make matters worse, the service -- which is usually one of the highlights of dining here -- felt awkward, inattentive, and well below the standard we've experienced in the past. As we were leaving, our mother quietly commented that it might be time for our family to find a new regular dinner spot. That was honestly the most disappointing part of the evening.

I had a patty melt with the waffle fries and seasoned sour cream. The patty melt was great and they dice the onions which makes it much cleaner to eat. The seasoned sour cream was a little bland, I don't think I'd order that again. My friend had the 1/4 white broasted chicken with french fries. They even gave him an extra wing! My friend said the chicken was bland, I thought it just needed a little salt. I really appreciate when cooks don't over-salt their food, this lets me get the seasoning right where I like it. Service was friendly and quick, the locals were friendly as well. And the prices were great. You can't go wrong here!
