Date night with my hubby! First time here, and let me tell you this place did not disappoint! My husband and I are both pretty hard critics, and we honestly had nothing but good things to say. The food was delicious, the atmosphere was great, and the service was even better! I also asked if they could make me a specific drink that I had tried at another restaurant, and they came so close to making it exactly the way I had it before! I really appreciated them taking the time to make it for me. If you haven't been here yet and you live in the area, you definitely need to stop by! Our server, Gigi, was so down-to-earth and provided amazing customer service. Thank you, Gigi! We'll definitely be coming back soon with family and friends! read more

Came for breakfast right at opening, it was just us here for the full hour. Staff were super friendly and helpful. I would say 3.5/5 in terms of food. Ordered chilaquiles with the green salsa and the flavor was delicious! I'm pretty picky with my chilaquiles, so it's always a gamble trying it from restaurants. The only thing is that they were soggy not crispy as advertised. We also ordered the steak and eggs and it had decent flavor but was cooked beyond medium well. I am sure the ribeye is much more tastier, we will be back to try that for their Friday special and to give them another shot. We learned it's been under new ownership and they are just barely starting to really promote the place..rooting for them as it definitely has a lot of potential and Moreno Valley needs more restaurants like this with great ambiance. read more

We had such a wonderful experience at Alux tonight! From the moment we walked in, the vibe and aesthetic were absolutely beautiful. The restaurant was spotless, the music created the perfect atmosphere, and every detail felt thoughtfully curated. Maria, our server, was incredibly kind, attentive, and welcoming. She took the time to explain the menu, answer our questions, and even shared the different themed events and specials they offer throughout the week, which made us excited to come back. Leo, the bartender, was fantastic. The cocktails were exceptional, and he was happy to customize my drink to match my preference. You can tell he takes pride in what he does. The service, drinks, ambiance, and hospitality were all 10/10. It's refreshing to have such a beautiful restaurant and cocktail experience in Moreno Valley. We can't wait to return! read more

Let me rave about the ribeye real quick! Oh my goodness, I died and went to heaven with each bite. One of the best I've ever had! The two sides I picked were the Brussels sprouts -- which were fire -- and the mashed potatoes. I LOVE Thanksgiving, and it gave it that nostalgic homemade holiday vibes. The steak was cooked perfectly medium rare: soft, tender, juicy... pure perfection. Not gonna lie, we had a huge spread and everything was so yummy. The first thing I noticed was the presentation. Every dish came out absolutely beautiful -- 20/10. A few other things we tried were the quesabirria, pork belly, aguachile, salmon & shrimp sushi, and the guacamole with chips. Not only is the food magical, but the ambiance is even more gorgeous. The moment you step inside, it feels like you've been transported to a luxury resort straight out of your dreams. Absolutely breathtaking. A must-experience spot! Our server Edwin was the best! He was so kind, patient, and attentive. Thank you for taking care of us! Oh, and come on Sunday nights! They just started karaoke from 6 PM to close. Come for the food, stay for the vibes :) read more

I actually really liked this restaurant. It's beautiful inside, servers were attentive, food was good. I went for taco Tuesday and the tacos came with a lot of protein. The salsa bar had great salsas. I will say they didn't have grilled onions but I still enjoyed the food. The area it's in is a little run down. That may be why it was a little empty.. i personally liked it a little empty however I do highly recommend it and will be coming back as well as suggesting to my friends and family read more

Beautiful place to eat. The staff was wonderful, the cocktails great and food was good. My husband and daughter got the rib eye tacos and birria tacos. Both were full of meat and worth the money. I got the pork dish which is slowed cooked and just falls apart. So good!!! The restaurant is large and beautiful . Great for large groups. Definitely will be back when we are in the area. read more

We visited Alux to celebrate my niece's going-away party, and from beginning to end, our experience was absolutely wonderful! A huge thank you to Jessica, who took my reservation and was able to accommodate our party of 30 guests. Planning for a group that size isn't easy, but she made the entire process seamless. When we arrived, she greeted us with a warm smile and made everyone feel welcome. Our server, Ellie, truly exceeded our expectations. She was incredibly organized, patient, and attentive despite serving such a large group. She got every single order correct, which is impressive for a party of 30! Her professionalism and outstanding customer service made our celebration even more enjoyable. The food was fantastic! I ordered the Shrimp Enchiladas Suizas, and they were absolutely delicious. My son had the Shrimp Alfredo Pasta, and my mom ordered the Quesabirrias, both of them gave their meals a 10/10! Everything was fresh, flavorful, and beautifully prepared. I want to sincerely thank everyone at Alux, especially Jessica and Ellie, for the exceptional service and genuine care they showed my family. They truly made my niece's going-away celebration so special, and it's a day we'll always remember. We can't wait to come back! read more

My lower review is for the brunch. I'd love to return for a formal dinner. The restaurant is beautiful and decor nicely done. The customer service is amazing from the host to the bartender. The cocktails are good, tried a paloma and chose bottomless mimosas. The brunch is just ok. The highlight of the brunch options is the ceviche. I didn't try the chilaquiles, I just found the birria underwhelming. Perhaps my choices were questionable, should've gone for the menudo, everyone on our table said it was a decent flavor. I have to suggest a spicy salsa. There was a chili oil option but all oil, no paste, the other red option was not the right consistency. The food is very basic food, just one beef option aside from birria. Should have a vegetarian option, they listed potatoes but were none. I am rooting for Alux, we need a place like it in MoVal, just needs some fine tuning and added flavors. read more

My husband and I have been wanting to attend this restaurant for over a year now. We decided today would be the day,the restaurant interior was lovely. Now saying that let me give you a list of things that we're not up to par. The food had no flavor. the Waitresses didn't know what kind of alcohol they carried. I ordered the ribeye which they didn't have in inventory. I got a filet mignon that had a trouble tasting sauce. I didn't finish my plate. I will never go back there again. read more

My daughter and I were in MorenoValley looking for a place to eat. The first restaurant we tried was too busy, so we spotted Alux down the street. When we walked in, it was mostly empty except for a table of of 8. There were three staff sitting at the bar when we arrived, and we weren't sure if we should seat ourselves or wait to be greeted. After about five or ten minutes, someone finally came over to greet us a. Even then, it took a while before anyone said anything to us after we set. The bartender eventually came by to take our order. We ordered our food and drinks, and it took 20 minutes just to get the drinks and about 45 minutes for the food--even though there was basically only one table besides ours. We also asked for chips and salsa, which never arrived. During the meal, the executive chef came by to try and sell us alcohol by the bottle, which felt awkward. The whole vibe was just a little off. As for the food: I ordered the Huevos Rancheros and asked for my eggs over easy, but they came over hard. We also tried the chiliquiles which were just okay. The food looked fancy, but it didn't match the taste. The interior is really pretty, and the ambiance is nice, but the music was too loud to seem like a nightclub during the afternoon. but the service was slow... ready to. Overall, I wouldn't come back and can't recommend this place. by the way, the mimosas were full of orange juice and the Michelada was full of tomato . read more

I wanted to take a moment to thank David and the entire team at Alux for helping me host an amazing birthday happy hour. From the very beginning, David was incredibly easy to work with and took the time to understand my vision for the event. The end result exceeded all of my expectations. The food was outstanding, the ambiance was perfect, and the drinks were amazing. Most importantly, my family and friends had an incredible time and have not stopped talking about how much they enjoyed the experience. Thank you again to David and the Alux staff for making my birthday so special. We truly appreciate the hospitality and will definitely be back to support and enjoy another great experience! read more

This was my second time visiting Alux Cocina, and unfortunately nothing has improved. The first time I came was for their grand opening. We waited nearly two hours for a single drink and eventually left because the restaurant was so disorganized. I gave them the benefit of the doubt, assuming they were still working through the challenges of opening a new business. Months later, I decided to give them another chance, and sadly it was the same experience. The restaurant has so much potential, but it appears to be severely understaffed. Employees seem overwhelmed, confused, and there doesn't appear to be any clear organization or management in place. To make matters worse, the food arrived cold and was disappointing in quality. Long wait times might be understandable if the food made up for it, but that simply wasn't the case. I really wanted to like this place because the concept and atmosphere are great, but after two poor experiences, I can't recommend it. Save your time and money and visit Ay Mi Pa in Riverside instead. You'll get better service, better food, and a much better overall dining experience. read more

We were greeted as soon as we walked in and got to choose our table. We ended up going with a booth, and it was super comfortable. We loved the décor, it instantly made us think of Cancún and our vacation there. I ordered the Pulpo Zarandeado and it was so delicious. My husband ordered the ribeye, and he really enjoyed it. We also got a side of chips and French fries--both were super good. The salsa was BOMB and the guacamole was BOMB too. read more

Medicore experience and rating for the service. What really bothered me was that I was told there are no paper menus, I had to scan a QR code that is etched into a woodblock on the table. Somewhat annoying, but it gets worse. The QR code doesn't work with Samsung or Google Pixel phones, so neither my date or I could look at the menu. Then, the bartender comes around and scan it on his iPhone and says it works with iPhone and offers to let me look at the menu on his phone. That's no way to run a business. Then he tells me I can go to their website and see the menu. I have to ask for water and when I do decide on a dish, the cook comes out and tells me that don't have that meat, and if I wanted to pick something else. So, I got the ribeye instead, which was delicious. Tighten up and do better people. read more

My niece told me to send an email about this but honestly, who reads emails anymore? After seeing videos online, we decided to give this place a try, so we drove the 2 hours to get here; and while at first glance it seemed a bit underwhelming I believe we came on a slow night. The food was good (although my medium-well filet mignon came out medium-raw) and the server was great. He quickly remedied the error with drinks and desserts on the house. There were a couple groups that were celebrating birthdays so the servers came out with noisemakers and sparklers which livened up the atmosphere. The DJ booth was empty but we did see a costumed guy at the bar which was pretty funny. The reason for the 3 stars instead of 4 or 5 is because of the automatic gratuity added to the bill for our party of 5. Who does that? The restaurant was just dark enough for us not to notice and the fact that the bill had suggested tip costs with the automatic gratuity included in that suggestion is unreal. So, the 22% tip we were trying to give quickly turned into a 39% tip. Alux - do better! Post this "fee" or let the customer know when you drop off the bill that the gratuity is already included. NO ONE LIKES TO FEEL LIKE THEY ARE BEING TAKEN ADVANTAGE OF. read more

Went there on a Saturday night around 8 pm. Went straight the bar. Kind of empty. Kind of took a while before they took our order. Drinks were good got a hibiscus mezcalita and a beer. Reason I gave it a 3 cause it was very dull, nothing going on really for a Saturday yeah there was music but still very boring, there's potential for sure but not there yet. It's Saturday! Let's get some good vibes going. Although I don't know her name but as we were leaving one of the waitresses was very nice smiling and thanked us for coming she was prob the highlight of the night: read more

We came here for the decor and it really is beautiful in there. The food was good. Service was great.

Ambiance: The restaurant decor is beautiful, large and spacious with a bit of a club vibe. Food: The food was delicious. I had the ribeye tacos which were a nice size with plenty of meat. I had a cocktail and it was amazing. Kudos to the bartender. I also had a shrimp taco. The shrimp was seasoned well with a light and crispy battle. My sister had the chicken enchiladas plate with rice and beans. The presentation of the food was nice. I'd definitely go back for the food. However I've never gone to a Mexican restaurant with no chips and salsa for the table. That said, the salsa for the tacos were delicious. I had a habanero, a tomatillo and a chipotle. Each was amazing and really made the taco even better. Service: The server was very kind and tried to make us happy but he did not the menu and took a minute to get our order. He got my vote for his desire to help and although it took a while he got our order correct. I liked him. I met the manager and he was cool to talk to and very personable. Parking: Great parking Overall: I would definitely go back when in the area. Great food! Good service. Great ambiance! A little overpriced but as a foodie it was worth it for me. read more

The servers are great, and truly care! The owner David is a great owner, very nice and attentive to his business! Ambiance is very top tier, I would say this is one of the prettiest restaurants in Moreno Valley! The food is really good, but I do have my notes. I love the Rib eye, delicious. The fajitas are delicious as well. Great quesa birria as well, but the aguachilles, sushi, and chicharron I would not recommend. To be honest, the aguachilles could be more fresh, the sushi they don't have any true sushi options. Like for those who like a more fresher sushi options. Here they do more of a hot Cheetos style sushi or cooked stuff. And the chicharron didn't have a yummy taste, this one was oily and tasted unhealthy. I know chicharron isn't supposed to be healthy lol, but I have had better. Overall, I would come eat here. It is a great date spot, and your date will be impressed to come here. read more

Ok. Food was absolutely horrible for brunch. They're not prepared for the brunch style. They're severely under staffed, ok customer service. Too pricey for the bland/ cold food and boring ambiance.

The food presentation was elegant, complemented by the chic ambiance and stylish melodies. The side dishes were mediocre, but we truly enjoyed only the fish tacos and octopus. While the tomahawk steak had a flawless sear, its texture was disappointingly tough, suggesting prolonged freezing and subsequent thawing. It wasn't fresh at all. Regrettably, its quality did not justify the price. The tabla alux was disappointing. The chicken lacked moisture and palatability, while the skirt steak was chewy. Both tasted old. They need quality control on their inventory or don't overbuy just to freeze it for a couple of months. Server was nice and attentive. They also added the auto gratuity. Thank goodness my husband looked at the receipt. read more

I just tried Alux Restaurant and WOW... this spot is The food was absolutely amazing. I had the chicken AND the enchiladas and both plates were packed with flavor, cooked perfectly, and honestly some of the best I've had in a while. You can tell they really put care into their food. Not gonna lie... I got two plates and didn't regret it one bit It was 100% worth it. Every bite hit. If you're anywhere near Moreno Valley and trying to find a spot that delivers on taste, this is it. Highly recommend, this place is a must try! read more

Excited to try out this restaurant in Moreno Valley! It looked beautiful from the outside, and the interior had a cool vibe. When we made our was in, I wasn't sure whether to wait to be seated or seat myself, but the atmosphere made up for it. The food was delicious, and the live saxophone performance during dinning was a great touch--very entertaining. One area that could use improvement is the service; the server could have been more attentive. Also, the restrooms could use a bit more care. Wish the best for this restaurant however, on a Friday night it was pretty empty. Oh and kinda pricey for the mixed drinks. read more

Simple review: food was on the salty side pretty average but beautiful interior In depth review: beans and rice were definitely too salty and I love rice and beans, the mashed potatoes were delicious and so were the chips and salsa, we also ordered the octopus which we had to send back because it was cold, the fried fish was the opposite; lacking in flavor, and the birria tacos were too salty I made my bf eat it for me.

Alux is a recently opened Mexican dinner and drinks spot along Alessandro Blvd in Moreno Valley, and it looks absolutely stunning inside. Upon entering, there's a small, beautifully decorated waiting area, with wood details that give off a Tulum-inspired vibe. The main dining area is spacious, with plenty of larger tables for groups as well as more intimate seating options. To the right, there's a brightly lit bar with two TVs, adding a lively feel to the space. We visited on a busy Saturday evening, and the place was nearly packed. We decided to sit at the bar. Throughout the night, we sampled four of their signature cocktails: the Alux (Mezcal, Ancho Reyes, Hibiscus, Lime, Agave), the Xalvaje (Rum, Passion Fruit, Pineapple, Grenadine, Lime), the Tamarind Mezcalita (Mezcal, Cointreau, Tamarind, Lime, Agave), and the Guava Paloma (Tequila, Grapefruit, Lime, Guava). All of the drinks were well-balanced, though on the lighter side in terms of alcohol strength. Our favorites were the Xalvaje, followed closely by the Tamarind Mezcalita. However, since Alux just opened, the service had some hiccups. We never got offered water refills and had to ask for them. We also ordered the Pollito a la Pibil (shredded chicken, broccolini, sweet potato fries), but it took an hour and five minutes for our food to arrive. While the presentation was nice, the portion was quite small for $30--only nine sweet potato fries! Sadly, the chicken was overcooked and dry, so we sent it back. The manager was very understanding and offered a complimentary dish. We went with his recommendation of the Aguachiles from the appetizer menu, and it was a great choice--the shrimp were perfectly textured, and the accompanying salsas were delicious. Overall, Alux has a lot of potential. Once the staff gets into a rhythm after the opening weeks, I'm confident the quality and service will improve. The ambiance is fantastic, and they offer a happy hour Monday through Thursday from 3-7 PM with some good deals. However, I wish there was more flexibility with their daily drink and food specials. I recommend checking it out yourself. read more
