    We were so excited to see a Mexican restaurant in our neighborhood. We finally got to try it today. We ordered 2 steak wet burritos, steak fries,& beef nachos to-go. Good portion for the price. Everything was good. My favorite was the beef nachos, loaded with everything and very sausey. Will add this to our list of to-go restaurant.

    Went a month or so ago to try out the new location. Had the tacos first in China Town during St. Patty's Day from their cart which was yum. We ordered online which is one of imy favorite inventions. Easy to find on the corner of Pauoa across from the gas station. There's a little parking lot in the back with some stalls. Food was ready around the time they quoted. Can never go wrong with carne asada tacos and appreciated you could mix and match the meats. Was filled generously, they didn't put cilantro as requested (major points), and it's a tad pricy but not so bad considering the economy these days. Rice and beans were yummy and enjoy the salsa options. Husband liked his nachos but preferred a different cheese.

    Located in the Old Pauoa Chou Suey space is Alejandros 3rd Oahu location. Small parking lot in the back. I called ahead to place order and picked it up. They recently opened and still training the front staff but the cooks are on point! They gave me the wrong order and before I drove off I checked and went back to get it corrected. The food is still good here tasty carnitas burrito and tacos. The location is convenient and service is friendly. They have ample indoor seating and its BYOB.

    Probably one of the top 5 best Mexican food restaurants in Hawai'i. Easy. Let's start with the parking. There is limited parking in the rear of the building along the fenceline, shared with residential. The access is very narrow (1 car width, height restriction 6'2") from both Pauoa and Pacific Heights Roads, so be very careful when turning in and exiting out. Good luck finding street parking. Once inside, you'll see impressive murials of a few current and popular Dodger and Laker players. The staff is friendly, you're greeted upon entering and thanked as you depart. The menu is pretty impressive, although prices seem a bit up there, especially if you add toppings. We got the chicken nachos and wet carne asada burrito plate with avocado. You can choose plain avocado or guacamole, I chose the latter. Although, after halfway through my meal, I think they forgot to give it to me because I didn't see any. Regardless, you get a decent amount of food. I ate everything on my plate in maybe 10 minutes, it was so good. I seriously considered buying another burrito plate, but decided against it, despondently. The nachos were very good too. Didn't know we can byob. I'm pretty sure we'll be back.

    I was so happy to see a restaurant open up in the neighborhood, literally ANYthing. But wow did this place disappoint! I had high hopes but Idk how they have other locations that have done well enough to expand because this food was pretty sad. They definitely used canned chicken in the quesadilla, making it soggy and tasted awful. The chips had zero salt on them. I should have known when I walked into a restaurant with an open kitchen and didn't smell any food smells that they probably aren't actually cooking anything. They glopped some canned chicken into a tortilla and slapped that on the grill for a sec and served it. It's pretty hard to eff up a quesadilla yall sooooo idk what yall doin in there but you may as well just stop.

    Good food, service, and great atmosphere! Glad they opened in Pauoa! We have been hoping for a new restaurant to open in this location! The carnita was a bit dry, but the Asada was spot on!

    Came for my daughters 4th birthday dinner, Super welcoming staff Amazing service following Let us know it's BYOB Food was brought out pretty fast and fuckin delicious. We love authentic Mexican food. Carnitas tacos were so soft and tasty. They even brought out a plate of churros in celebration of my daughter's birthday on the house! Parking is around back - easy & convenient!

    Alejandro's!! Tasty food, friendly atmosphere! Multiple choices of salsa to add to your food! No booze, but BYOB appears OK. Parking: Around 5-7 stalls available behind the building on makai side (don't steal the apartment dwellers' stalls on mauka side!) Two parking entrances: One on Pauoa Rd side, right where Pali Hwy flies over, the second is on Pacific Hts Rd side of building, nearer the corner. WARNING: the Pacific Hts entrance is only 6'2" high, and guests of the previous business there have had too-tall autos get scraped!

    The food was very tasty and I would have given 5 stars, but they forgot to include the addition of pico de gallo in my take out order.

    Is there parking?

    Very little, in the back of building against the wall and fence; then go up the stairs to the right then down green hallway to the front.

It was simple, comforting, and absolutely delicious. My son, who's from California and very serious about his Mexican food, said it was the best bean and cheese burrito he's ever had--which is definitely saying something! The portions are generous, so you definitely get your money's worth, and the spicy sauce has the perfect kick with amazing flavor that takes everything to the next level. If you're craving satisfying, authentic-tasting Mexican food, this place is a must. We'll definitely be back!

We opt to sit down and order our food. The bartender/server was friendly and welcoming! She got our orders. I noticed she brought the food from the other side and served it to us. Both of us got wet chicken burritos with sour cream on top. They were delish. I got a beer too! Place is very casual. You can tell there are regulars that go to the bar. Food tasted great. The only downside is the parking. I parked up the street and walked down. I would definitely still recommend this place.

Mexican sounded good to everyone so we picked this spot and we're all very happy we did. Our server was kind and attentive. The place was lovely and decorated with just the amount of fun you expect. Some great photo ops in there. He even told us they were having a mariachi band tomorrow and invited us to come back. The food from the start with nachos and salsa to the end with tres leches was all delicious. I ordered the chorizo queso and it was fantastic. My son ordered the guacamole and it was so fresh and limey. Also delicious. My grandkids shared a quesadilla which was definitely large enough to do so with. My oldest grandson ordered a torte and he loved it. Also a generous portion. My son and I both ordered the grande burrito. He got his wet and I didn't. His was served on a plate and mine came wrapped in foil in a basket. I wish it would have also come on a plate. I like to cut it up to eat and the foil made that difficult to do. We ordered the tres leches to go because we were all so full. Enjoyed it the next day. Three of us could share on piece. It's delicious but very rich.

It took a while to order and to get her attention throughout our time there, but we eventually received everything we ordered. The birria was very tasty, with juicy meat and a crispy shell. The Margarita flights were small, mini tastings which left us wanting more (and yes, we did order more). Regarding the tres leches, it's not the greatest we've ever had but not the worst.
