  It took a long time for decent Tex Mex to come to the Reading area but this restaurant fits the bill.
  
  There wasn't anything outstanding that we tried (salmon tacos, chicken burrito with vegetables, pork burrito, chimichanga) but everyone enjoyed their meal and the portions were large enough that 3 of us had leftovers. You won't go hungry here.
  
  The overall menu is routine and very Americanized  even for Tex Mex. I understand why though given the customer base. This isn't a crowd that would eat goat or try beef tongue.
  
  Service wasn't great but decent. The only thing we didn't enjoy was the complementary chips and salsa. The tortilla chips were very salty and the fresh salsa was too watery. Just need less salt on the chips and more actual tomatoes and onions in the salsa.
  
  This isn't great food but it is good value for the money. No surprise there were a bunch of families in here. Good option except for vegans and strict vegetarians.

  I know, I know.. It's pretty tex mex here and living in the NYC area for the past two years, I've had my fair share of pretty amazing Mexican food.
  
  But I've been going to alebrije for close to... Over?? a decade now. I remember when they opened their first location in Wyomissing and then moved to their new place. I am literally never disappointed when I come here. The food is always good, the margaritas are fantastic and the staff is amazing.
  
  The only thing that stinks for me is that they have greatly reduced the amount of vegetarian friendly options in their menu. Way back in time, they had a whole section of the menu dedicated to veg options, but that no longer exists. While disappointing, the spinach enchiladas that I ordered were really great and helped me forget about the lack of variety.
  
  The bartender that served us was super nice and attentive. Much appreciated on a busy Friday night :).
  
  I really love Alebrije and I don't know that I'll ever get sick of coming here. Honestly one of the best local chains in the Reading area and I'm really glad they've existed for so long and keep evolving their menu. Uhhh but if you ever want to add something new... chilaquiles, please?

  Great meal, wonderful at the table guacamole presentation.   Servers were gracious.  Enjoyed outdoor seating.  I had shrimp tacos. Husband enjoyed chicken.

  This was our first time there. The food and drinks were excellent! The waitress was very attentive but not very happy. Didn't crack a smile once. Kinda made me feel like we were a bother. Our party spent quite a bit of money there between drinks and food. Probably was just having a bad day but she stuck out like a sore thumb since the overall atmosphere of the place was fun and lively! The live music added to the otherwise great experience! I will definitely visit again.

  Great food, fun atmosphere and great servers. What more could you ask for. If you haven't been then you should and if you've been then I guess you agree.
