Don Alex

"I’m not sure if they serve this amount of food when you dine in, but this is absurd! I paid $22 for a side of ceviche? If you come here don’t order the ceviche. Or make sure you check your order beforehand."

"My wife and I dine at Don Alex on a regular basis and in all honesty we’ve yet to have a bad experience. While we usually stick to our go-to: mixed chaufa rice + half a rotisserie chicken + friend sweet plantains (maduros) + a glass of chicha morada, the times we’ve ventured and ordered other items like the lomo saltado and ceviche, have been very good as well. The food is consistently tasty. The service is just ok. They add a 20% tip to your bill without warning so be careful overtipping. The atmosphere in the restaurant is good. Can feel a bit crammed since the premises are tiny. Overall it’s a nice place to get a good and tasty meal."

"First time coming to Don Alex and I felt confident in that I would enjoy myself. My sister has been there many times and vouched that it’s delicious. . My step mother ordered the chicken cilantro soup. I didn’t get to taste it but she said it was delicious and it looked tasty! My sister had the chicken saltado which I can say was good. And my Arroz chaufa was good too. No complaints about the food. The waitress was kind as well just need to make sure when something is being dropped off at the table, they should take whatever empty plates/trash etc away. Things got a little piled up at some point. But fine experience. Would eat there again if I was hungry and in the area."

"It's an excellent neighborhood restaurant! I don't give 5 stars because those are for high-end places. Otherwise, it is a 5 star for a neighborhood restaurant. The food is excellent, the place is very clean. The atmosphere is great and even though it might be full it is not a noise place. Try it out, and the puces are unbeatable"
