We dined in one of the front, right-side dining rooms. Our dining room wasn't huge and so the acoustics were perfect for visiting over dinner. One of my dining companions said she was glad we weren't seated in the "big room" as it seemed much louder. The table started out with Fried Pickles appetizer. The spears were cool and crisp with a light fried crunchy ouside. It was served with a side of ranch. Probably the best fried pickles I have ever tried. The table was also served a mini-relish tray with a tiny scoop of crab dip (so yummy) with a small splattering of carrots, celery and crackers. We approve! Entrees of sauteed scallops and an early-bird Prime Rib followed. Both were fresh and perfectly cooked. Would definitely order again. Our server was excellent at her job, and we really felt "taken care of " We thoroughly enjoyed the food, service and ambiance.

We brought our little nephews and niece in here last night and were blown away by the service, food, and atmosphere, which just prompted me to give some thanks.

The food was excellent, all around. I love this place.

After a Yelp search I found El Alegre Mexican Restaurant with really good reviews and an…read moreinteresting menu. A bit of a drive from Madison, but well worth it. El Alegre is located in a small modern strip of shops, with a party center they run next door. The restaurant is medium sized with a nice bar in the corner by the kitchen. The room is sleek and modern with black walls and tables, wood chairs and floors, and a colorful neon strip around the ceiling. Service was attentive without being intrusive. The menu is two sided and manages to have a nice variety without being overstuffed. I ended up ordering the Camarones a la Diabla, as someone who loves spicy shrimp it sounded great. A bit of a wait for the food, but the place was busy with the dining room almost full including a couple of larger tables. The chips and salsa was ok, but nothing special but provided a nice prelude while I waited for the meal. The meal came out nicely presented on a square white plate, which set off the colorful meal. The shrimp were nice sized, plump and well cooked; the sauce was excellent, not overly spicey, but instead complex and delicious with an interesting mix of flavors, it seemed to be similar to a mole instead of just a hot sauce. The refried beans and spanish rice were both good and the guacamole, sour cream and small salad was a nice compliment to the meal. The flour tortillas were very good, freshly griddled and fresh. I was very impressed with El Alegre, the decor is a nice change from most Mexican restaurants. I was very impressed with their version of Camarones a la Diabla, usually it is served with a fairly simple hot sauce, here they created a wonderful and complex sauce that perfectly complimented the shrimp and provided a true treat. If you are in the area and looking for some great Mexican food El Alegre is well worth a visit. If the rest of the menu is anything like my meal it is a great flavorful interpretation of Mexican food.

It has a handy location right on the main drag in town, the staff is warm, friendly and attentive. There is a large menu and dynamite dishes. I talked my buddy into really looking at the menu and trying something that he normally doesn't and he was not disappointed. Cannot recall the entire name but it had Poblano in it. He was overwhelmed by the great taste. I tried Mocajete and it was brimming with the ingredients that were listed. Perfecto! And lest I forget, the portions are generous. Magnolia's is not to be missed. Great value and great food.

I first heard about Aranda's after my husband came home raving about this Mexican restaurant…read morebringing me home a to go order of their rib eye and shrimp after a friend recommended this place to him. The ribeye was mouthwateringly delicious, perfectly cooked, juicy, well seasoned, and full of flavor! The grilled shrimp had the most incredible seasoning and grilled to perfection! My husband kept on talking about Aranda's nonstop so we went and dined in person at Aranda's in Deforest, WI! When we first walked in, I loved the bright colored festive walls, showcasing beautiful Mexican art/heritage and a mini festive bar with my favorite: a great tequila selection for all the tequila fans!!! The place was super packed for a weeknight/Wednesday evening! We were greeted with delicious complimentary tortilla chips and salsa which started our night off right! Aranda's has a large Tex Mex menu with a variety of authentic traditional Mexican menu items as well as a few more Americanized take on popular Mexican dishes! They offer many delicious menu items everything from nachos, street tacos, fajitas, chimichangas, ribeye steaks, hamburgers, seafood options, a kid's menu, and much more! Plus, they even have churros and fried ice cream if you have a sweet tooth! Aranda's has the best margaritas when you are a craving a delicious drink! They even have a great selection of top shelf superior tequila. Be aware the margaritas are pretty huge and the large size is actually humongous! I really enjoyed my spicy jalepeno maragita! My husband ordered the ribeye steak and shrimp that comes with a side of delicious cheese sauce and fries while I ordered the Aranda's special which is the ribeye with shrimp, topped with an onion blossom, grilled shrimp, and pico de gallo. My husband and I had so much fun dining at Aranda's. Everything we ordered was very delicious! We also received great service! Aranda's is a great place to visit if you are looking for satisfying margaritas, delicious Mexican food, fun/festive vibes, in a casual dining setting that is a fun place to dine with friends, family, and even fun for the kids! Aranda's is definitely worth trying!
