Being from Southern CA originally I am very picky about my Mexican food. So to find a place in PA that suits me is quite difficult. Today we ate at Alebrije, which is quite near where we live. I'm not going to tell you this place is as good as where I would frequent back home -- but it is... More

We tried lunch here and it was ok. Service was slow and food was alright, we wouldn't go back because of other choices in area. I wouldn't say don't go, just be ready for an ok meal.

Had dinner here tonight, the food was very good, I had the Vegetable Maya Burritos, which had a stray piece of steak in it. An oops for this vegetarian, but the rest of the meal went off without a hitch. My favorite was the Rose Margarita, made with rose petal infused tequilla, the flavor was delicate and sweet, rose petal... More

First time at this restaurant. We each had a lunch special. Portions could have been a bit larger. I was still a bit hingry. Next time, I will order a meal, not a lunch special. Very clean. Service very fast. Food was good, not as good as Mexican in CA, but good. I was impressed with the cleanliness and atmosphere.... More

The usual assortment of traditional (for U.S.) items in a Mexican restaurant. All good sized portions, well prepared, reasonable prices. All of the staff we have met are very friendly, very knowledgeable, very nice people there. There are several locations, we like the one in Exeter.

Coming from a girl who was raised on Mexican food all her life in Southern California. I was extremely disappointed in the food served at Alebrije Mexican Restaurant. It was in no way authentic & I can only believe that people rave about this place because they know no better. Their ground beef is bland & runny & their cheese... More

The Alebrije is a clean restaurant with friendly staff and a nice atmosphere. My family and I went here as we were passing through Reading Pa. Our server (should have got his name) was smiling and friendly and had knowledge of the food he serves.. Our order came out in a timely manner and once it was in front of... More
