Meet us where food and family come first
Alejandra’s Mexican Cuisine is founded on fun, food, and family. The family-owned cantina in Northlake cooks quality Mexican food in an atmosphere that feels like a family gathering.
Secret family recipes are the other foundation of the restaurant. The menu honors traditional dishes blended with new and modern Mexican cuisine.
The Carne Asada (marinated grilled skirt steak) is famous here for the rich marinade and Mexican flavors mixed in a southwest salad with guacamole. The flavorful Parrillada is chicken, steak, and chorizo served with cactus, cebollitas, poblano peppers, and tortillas.
We love the taco dinners that are simple but delicious. You can choose from steak, chicken, chorizo, mixed steak and chorizo, vegetables, chicken tinga, seasoned ground beef, carnitas, al pastor, or barbacoa. Top it with cheese, lettuce, tomato, and cilantro.
Pair your meal with a cucumber and horchata martini. Delicious!
