I feel more Mexican restaurants are essentially Tex Mex. I got tacos and the main thing that killed them are the packaged tortillas. All tacos had 2 layers of tortillas which in my opinion dont taste too great. The fish tacos plate was $25 for 3 tacos and no rice or beans. Also the tacos couldve used a bit more salsa and crema. And the salsa used is your basic tabasco and cholula. The flavors of all food items were very spot on. The cocktails were deliscous and the service was 10/10

I am genuinely confused on how this place has been rated so highly. Including being given best new restaurant of 2023 and a 9.3 rating by infatuation.
Service was fine and atmosphere was good. The drinks were decent but nothing to write home about friend got the sangria and I had the house margarita which had pomegranate juice in it which I thought was an interesting choice not necessarily bad but somewhat weird.
Starting with the food. The complementary chips and salsa we received were unremarkable. The chips were two different types one yellow corn and the other one lighter possibly flour? The salsa was extremely thin and very watery; it also used green onion which was very strange. Both began the trend of our dinner by being completely under seasoned.
I ordered the same enchiladas rojas with roasted pork and my friend ordered the quesabirria. These dishes followed the trend of the chips and salsa and were also very under seasoned. Both dishes felt like the cook was afraid to use too much salt. The “birria” tasted just like someone slow cooked a pot roast with a hint of salt. There were no discernible flavors of chile topically found in a traditional birria as well as being completely under salted. The enchiladas were fine but the sauce again had the same issues as being under salted and not enough chile flavor. The roasted pork inside them was again pretty flavorless and dry in some bites. The crema and massive amounts of cheese on top helped to make them more palatable but could only go so far in hiding the dishes weakness. The enchiladas were also served with potatoes which again were underseasoned and felt like they were just boiled.
Overall extremely disappointed with the meal. I had much higher expectations for this place upon reading the reviews, especially from reputable professional food critics. I honestly have made much more tasty and flavorful enchiladas, birria, and salsa at home. I would recommend people to honestly pass on this restaurant if they are looking for traditional mexican food and look somewhere south in the burien white center area.

I’ve been to Alebrijes Kitchen twice for dinner, and I have enjoyed both meals. If you can handle/enjoy some heat, the camarones appetizer is so good. I enjoy mojitos with a ton of mint, and Alebrijes Kitchen does not disappoint. The Veggie Verde Enchiladas are very cheesy and seasoned well. My partner enjoyed the Carne Asada, describing the meat as very flavorful and tender. For dessert, he had the key lime pie. It was delicious. I had the flan, which was very creamy. Overall, service is speedy. Be prepared to street park. Although, I haven’t come a cross an issue finding spots. As a Southern California native, this restaurant reminds me of the comfy Mexican food I grew up with.
10/10 experience all around. Great and cute atmosphere, the drinks are incredible and so is the food! Wish I could eat the Carne Asada plate every day, the meat was so flavorful and melted in your mouth. The corn tortillas seem to be home made and were so soft and were not dry.

The salsa, the marks and the birria was 👌🏽

These are the best enchiladas I have had in Seattle so far (and as a Texpat, I have been searching). Cheese enmoladas had perfect stretchy cheese, and the mole is some of the best mole I have had (maybe a tad heavy on cinnamon). It was surprisingly spicy! We also had roasted pork enchiladas with red + green. Green was tangy and spicy, and the red had a lot of depth (cumin, cinnamon, garlic). The rice was seasoned nicely with oregano. Both black beans and pinto beans were flavorful. It’s not billed as a Tex-Mex place, but the generous meaty-cheesy profile hit my Tex-Mex button. Service was friendly. The place is cute with big windows to watch the world go by. There is one adorable brick alcove for 2. I wish there were more seats like that, or that the fireplace was going. The only down side was the house margarita. They make their own mix, per the menu description, but it still had a little chemical mix flavor. Pomegranate juice was a fun touch, and actually improved the tartness. This immediately sky-rocketed to our #1 Mexican food place (although I might try sangria instead of a margarita next time). Next time I’ll take photos before I gobble it all down.

Have eaten here twice. Staff is friendly and we were seated quickly. Had the veggie quesadilla both times which came with black beans and roasted potatoes. I let everyone at the table try it and we all agreed it was the best quesadilla we have ever had in our lives! They make vegetarian food for people who like food and flavor, packed with well cooked flavorful vegetables. These are not just recipes without the meat. The table also loved the chorizo fundido, mole enchiladas, and birria tacos.
