El Muchacho Alegre

I’m very surprised by the reviews. The tables and seats are dirty and I’m not sure how anyone found the food delicious or authentically Mexican. The ceviche was bland. We had to ask for a bunch of lime to squeeze in it ourselves, added salt and habanero salsa. It was edible after that. The camarones a la diabla were just saucy, not one bit spicy. The rice that came with the camarones was instant rice. The molcajete was just okay—we’ve had better. And then we were told that they only took cash because the credit card machines are down. When we said we didn’t know that, the waitress made reference to a sign on the door. We didn’t have $100+ in cash, so she ended up taking the credit card anyway but told us that we couldn’t get a receipt. (It all sounded super shady). Bottom line… the food was subpar and the only way I would’ve ever found any of it delicious would’ve been if I had never eaten good Mexican seafood in other places. We will not be going back and truly don’t recommend it.

The food here was comically bad. My salad was soaked in water and they had the audacity to serve me uncle bens minute rice! They should not have the distinction of a “Mexican” place because I did not taste any Mexican seasoning or flavor. 0 stars

Fish tacos amazing with the El Yucateco was flaming good!!! Tostada de pescado and tostada mixta wildly good.
