Alebrijes Cafe - Dallas/Ft Worth AP

My husband and I decided to try a new restaurant. Their food is delicious! It tastes fresh and hand made. The owners are very polite and lovely. It wasn't just amazing customer service, they made me feel like I was part of them. I recommend this place and will be coming back to try more food.

The minute you step in? you feel welcomed by the owners. Super sweet and attending. They made me feel like I was part of their family. Wait time for my flautas was quick. The dish was delicious. 100% recommend!

On the hunt for my top 5 local restaurants to eat regularly (lets support those small shops! , and this cafe has made the cut. Welcoming environment as soon as you walk in (as long as they're not swamped with serving the people already in there . We were welcomed with complementary pan dulce to go with our champurado. I got the chilaquiles (hot seller for a reason... as you see in the pic i could not wait my partner got the Bistec a la mexicana and loved it. Everything was great- they dont over use salt but there's always one on the table. Next on my list are the chicken enchiladas, just sounds bomb.

When you walk into Alebrijes Café you?re immediately greeted by the beautiful couple that owns Alebrijes. But it doesn?t feel like you?re being greeting into an establishment but into your Tia?s and Tio?s home. I immediately felt welcomed and at home, in a restaurant. I was greeted with hola hermosa, and preciosa and princessa, the care and love is very much felt. The menu is on the wall to your right and you?re able to look at the entire menu at once. I?ve been twice, and both times, I was greeted the same exact way and felt the same. The love you feel is absolutely expressed in the food as well. The first time I went for breakfast and had the heuvos rancheros, and it was absolutely delicious. The second time I went, I had the papas tacos and they were amazing. The food is beyond ?good? or ?great? or ?full of flavor.? Yes, both dishes tasted amazing, but it was beyond just what I tasted. The experience I had brought me back to being a kid visiting my Abuelita, and as an adult now I see, she wasn?t just making me food, she was creating a dish made with love. While I couldn?t see how the food was being made, I felt it was made with the same care and love my Abuelita made her food for me those weekends when I visited her. Food just tastes different when it?s made from love. I cant just say the food was good, or great because it reached beyond what I tasted, but how I felt. The second time I went I invited my coworkers for lunch because I wanted to share the experience and they loved it just as much as I did. From beginning to end my experience was beyond anything I?ve ever experienced in Dallas, at a restaurant. It doesn?t even feel right calling it a restaurant. It feels like home. 20/10 recommend.

Such a nice hole in a wall with the feel as if you were eating in Mexico. The owners are so sweet! Food is literally made to order, fresh, and delish. We had bacon, pancakes, tamales, burrito and the fresh bread. Will be back to try many of their items on their menu.
