    Stokes is still hitting it out of the park! We visited again a few times recently on a Friday night and on Sunday for Happy Hour - days when they were pretty busy - but it didn't hurt the service excellence at all. Our first server, Chelsea, was a rockstar! I didn't catch the name of our second server during the happy hour visit but she also excellent in the service department. On Friday night, we had the Queso to start and it was super flavorful and chock full of meat (pork) and creamy cheese - yum! I tried a new dish this visit - the Barbacoa Flautas. They were SO tasty, with tender meat filling, a mole sauce that was out of this world, and a hefty serving of guacamole on top. These flautas are HUGE, so bring your appetite or be prepared to ask for a to-go box. My husband had the Grilled Mango Salmon, and it was heavenly (I got to try a few bites). It was flaky, light, and perfectly cooked. Chelsea recommended swapping the side of potatoes with the steamed veggies, which turned out to be such a good tip. The vegetables were buttery and full of flavor - the Brussels Sprouts were my fave. Their happy hour is the absolute best I've had in town. We sat on the bar side with the TVs to watch a football game and tried a few HH items. The happy hour menu has some things that are on the normal menu but in smaller sizes (Aztec Nachos, Taquitos, etc) and a few things that aren't normally on the menu at all that I've seen. I got the Steak and Potato Flatbread off the happy hour menu, which I'd never seen on the normal menu. It was gigantic in height, with huge bits of tender steak, a cream cheese base, and crispy fries baked in. If you're drooling now, just let me also report that it was only $8! Definitely shareable between a few people too. My husband got the Cheese Nachos with House Salsas, and they were also super tasty with the mix of salsas and melted cheese. We had just had the queso dip on our previous visit, so he wanted to try a different cheesy nacho item. We shared the Birria Tacos and they were SO delish. The beef inside was well seasoned and of high quality (not stringy or bland), and the consommé for dipping added another fabulous flavor with each bite. And the last shared item we tried on the happy hour menu were the BBQ Chicken Sliders. They were two "sliders" and I put that in quotes because they were not slider size, they were much larger. The chicken was high quality, just like everything else - and the bbq sauce they used was tangy, sweet, and it worked amazingly well with the chicken. I also tried one of their drinks at happy hour, their own Stokes Ale. It was light, crisp, and extremely easy to sip. Definitely recommend! Happy hour is 3pm-6pm every day, and all day on Sundays, so definitely check that out for the mentioned items and more. We didn't try any dessert on these visits, and haven't gone during brunch yet - which means we'll have to make our way back soon (very soon!) Stokes has yet again incredibly impressed me, on both service, value, food quality, and ambiance. Whether you go during the normal menu hours, brunch, or happy hour - just go and experience for yourself how amazing Stokes is!

    Banana Bread French Toast
    Tricia S.

    Went for brunch today for the first time. Jessica our waitress was attentive, friendly, and knowledgeable. As always I forget to take photos of everything. We had the guacamole flight to start which was great (the pineapple salsa stuff was really good on it) along with a glass of white sangria and a house Bloody Mary. Both of which were good drinks. For food the breakfast tacos with rice and beans(rice was very tasty and beans were okay)and the banana bread French toast fosters style. Super good and sweet. Will definitely be back in the evening sometime to get dinner food because that menu looked great too. The table set up inside was nice too and it wasn't overly dark like some places are.

    One of my favorite corn chowders is Stokes corn chowder. I used to go to Stokes in Old Market to get the corn chowder, and haven't had it is years. Recently I found myself out west, about a block away from Stokes, so I went in during happy hour 4-6 pm. I got a bowl of the corn chowder and enjoyed it greatly. . I got chips, guac and chorizo queso on the happy hour menu, and enjoyed these greatly. I also got birria tacos on the happy hour menu, and that was a pass for me because it was greasy with very little meat in it, and the flavor was overly cumin-y, watery and also a bit bitter. . My friend got a cheese burger from the regular menu, and it was exactly what she wanted. . Our wait staff was friendly and attentive. She is great. . The only problem is the dining room is a lot of hard surfaces, so it was super loud and hard to hear anything. The noise level was hurting my friend with hearing aids.

    HH Menu
    Lauren O.

    Solid spot. It's not a restaurant I typically crave but if I were rating on HH value alone, it would be 5 star. The HH menu offers a large variety of bites and drinks at unbelievably reasonable prices. It has a dark and moody vibe which is fun and there is ample seating in the bar. Nice, easy to reach location off Dodge. It's a place I'll usually recommend if someone is looking for HH but don't really think of it much otherwise.

    Tacos Carbon

    Our waitress was PHENOMENAL!! The guac is always 10/10 and I've never had a bad meal here. There is a kick for quite a few of the dishes but the waitress suggested a different more-mild salsa when I asked about the spice on my tacos. I'd highly recommend this spot for a fun and casual modern southwest meal.

    Sweet Corn Enchilada - Dinner

    Food and service was amazing!! Great spot with lots of options! Sara the host and Andrea our server were great!

    Sharon's Spicy Sister Enchiladas - Dinner
    Cassidy J.

    I have been to Stokes many times but it's been a long time. Not sure why, because everytime I come here I am absolutely satisfied. Delicious margs, appetizers, food, everything is good. Service has always been quick and friendly. Literally have never had a bad time here. I ordered something different this time than the Aztec nachos that I'm obsessed with and I think I might have a new obsession. Sharon's Spicy Sister enchilada was AMAZING. It definitely has a kick to it so if you can't handle spice at all I would go for the original. Also got the house margarita and for a house it's delicious. We will be back again. Sooner than later this time.

    Roasted Butternut Squash & Potato Enchiladas - Dinner Portion (the picture doesn't do it justice! And I really wish you could smell it)

    We've never had a bad experience at Stokes West, and today was no exception. Our hostess/server was kind and fun and our food was outstanding. I dream about the roasted squash and potato enchiladas in between visits (mushroom sauce, candied walnuts, melty jack cheese, perfectly roasted squash), the 13yo loved his New Mexican garlic shrimp, and Hubs loved Sharon's chicken enchiladas. Oh! And we tried the queso today - so good. Wish we could visit more often!

    AMAZING! The somewhat cozy, dim lighting ..booth seating..beautifully decorated...was impressive! Our server Chelsea was excellent! She checked on us often (but wasn't annoying..lol) She immediately waited on us..I had a spicy jalapeño cucumber mule..with fresh cucumber and jalapeño...Dean had a blackberry spicy margarita with fresh fruit..refreshing and bursting with a crispy yummy feeling...We couldn't decide what to order so we decided to just "go for it" and order several appetizers and try a little of everything...why not? Life is short. We started out with chips and white queso dip topped with spicy chorizo...you gotta try it..it was hot, gooey and tasty....we had rolled chicken and black beans taquitos served with an amazing green salsa...we had Hellfire spicy beef sliders that were BOMB ...served with a crispy bacon wrapped jalapeño..if I wasn't allergic to pork we would have "thrown blow over it" ...we had blackened salmon sliders that were my favorite ..seasoned perfectly...oh our "do over" was the Mayan Chicken flatbread...it had the unique curry as the base, chicken, cheese crumbles, lettuce, tomato... it was absolutely the best flatbread we have ever had! We had a cozy booth and enjoyed ourselves without feeling pressured or rushed out..Great experience for sure!

    Food is basic, nothing really unique and it's really heavy food and very overpriced for the portion and what you get. Tables are big, but dirty, and the lighting is very dark.

    Koko 's Harvest salad
    Jana J.

    I haven't loved everything here just because I am not a huge Mexican food person. My favorite items have been the kokos salad with shrimp, and the tacos carbon (sub veggies for beans/rice). The enchiladas are amazing here--just not the best for lunch or a hot day!

    This the third time we've had dinner at this location. Every time we drive-by it always seems to be…read morebusy. The atmosphere inside is always very well decorated for the season/occasion. This last visit they had the entire restaurant decorated for Valentine's Day coming up. But, besides the additional decorations the overall vibe is what you would expect for a Mexican restaurant but more. The service has been friendly and fast! The original Margarita is very good and for the price its about 3 servings. The complementary chips & salsa is great and more of a forgotten service nowadays, but great to see that Alegre is still doing it. The homemade tortilla chips are so good so be careful to not fill up on these before the main entrees. Kendra got the Chile Verde which was massive and was enough food for leftovers the next day. And, I had the Ceviche Sampler which is new and definitely worth every penny! It's hard to find restaurants that have ceviche on the menu, but this has been one of my favorites if you love seafood and a repeater for me! If your looking for more of an upscale $$ Mexican restaurant with great food, service and ambiance it's hard to beat El Muchacho Alegre.

    Super fun restaurant with great food and drinks! I wish I would've tried something else on the menu…read morebecause I wasn't a big fan of the cantarito I ordered, but the margaritas looked fab on the menu! I've had this restaurant recommended by multiple people and I can say it lives up to the hype. I loved the decor and music playing, the atmosphere was casual and fun. We were sat in a little booth but there are high and low tables and a bar area inside and a patio outside. The patio is shaded, which will be nice in the summer. We had chips and salsa brought to the table, and they were the typical restaurant chips and salsa, nothing special but tasty. I ordered the birria tacos and was so glad I did! They were cheesy, greasy, full of meat, and the consommé was rich and flavorful. The rice was really flavorful and the beans were typical. My husband ordered a cantarito and I thought it sounded good so I ordered one too. They were much bigger than we've had before. They were kind of warm, cherries were added, and it was heavy on the orange juice. I wouldn't order one again, but I would definitely order a margarita. They all sounded so good, and I'd love to try the candy shots! They only came as a set of 4, I wish we could get them individually. Overall, a great experience and looking forward to going back to try more.

    I haven't been to Marias in over 10 years so this was really like a new experience for me…read more I stopped in on my birthday with some girlfriends and we sat on the screened in patio. Overall the food was great, i got 1 puffy taco and I like the order of the chips mixed flour/corn. The service was really slow, we were sat and got water but took about 10ish minutes for our server to come back to get our drinks, another 10 for them to be delivered. We were going somewhere by appt later so we just go the check when the food eventually came. TLDR - its good, good pricing, good specials, and would return when not on a time constraint

    My review of Maria's: the food has no life or love. Blander than bland…read more We ordered the cheese nachos as an appetizer, which to my surprise looked exactly like the snack I made myself after school as a kid - a plate of tortilla chips with melted cheese on top with a side of jarred sliced jalapeños. That's it. No salsa or any toppings of any kind. It was Taco Tuesday so we ordered the two taco special. One beef, one chicken puffy taco. Neither looked or tasted like there was even a sprinkling of seasoning. I honestly feel like the recipes I see on TikTok would yield much better food. I know this restaurant is a staple of downtown Ralston and the wait staff is exceptional, but I was extremely disappointed in the menu. I can't recommend this establishment for good Mexican food.
