I've seen this place closed with brown paper covering the windows for 2 years and I still do not understand why still not open yet. Thoughts?
Disclaimer. I'm from Chicago, so Rick Bayless and Frontera Grill and his other restaurants is what I had in mind when we went to this place. It promised to be gourmet Mexican, and from the prices I thought it would be innovative yet still have that Mexican flavor. I was surprised when they brought us bread. Really? In a Mexican restaurant? If it were homemade that would be one thing but La Brea -- why bother? We ordered the heirloom tomato salad and the grilled romaine. Both, unremarkable. The tomatoes had little to no flavor and the cheese was rubbery. I had the vegetarian entree, grilled zucchini, with other vegetables thrown on top which had no semblance of anything Mexican I've ever had. My husband had the seafood, which he said was rubbery. To me, this was to Mexican cuisine was Spaghetti and meatballs is to Italian cuisine. I had high hopes, and perhaps my expectations were too high. But, we tried it once, and I would not go back. The owners were solicitous, and offered to remake the salad, or to bring something else. That's why I gave them 2 stars. This was neither gourmet or Mexican...to us, it missed the mark.
The owners are beautiful people. Café Alebrijes is a very good place to work while you drink your fav tea or coffee. I hope they can open this coffee shop to the public soon.
