Alebrije Restaurant offers a welcoming and vibrant ambiance with dim, intimate settings, providing an authentic and calm vibe. Their delectable shrimp tacos with rice and beans stand out for their freshness and juicy taste. Visitors praise the upscale atmosphere, great margaritas, and attentive staff. This hidden gem, situated just off the main restaurant area of downtown IC, is a must-visit for Mexican food enthusiasts. Guests enjoy a fun spot to grab lunch near the college, appreciating the quick service and perfect drinks. The beautiful furniture and thoughtful presentation of dishes impress many, as do the extensive vegetarian and vegan options. The restaurant is also celiac friendly and accommodates other dietary restrictions, making it accessible for all. Kid-friendliness is a plus, with all drinks available in non-alcoholic versions. The decor and layout are top-notch, and while food and drinks may be slightly more expensive than typical Iowa City Mexican restaurants, the quality and experience exceed expectations.
