A’LU is one of the most ambitious restaurant buildouts Boynton has seen in years. Huge, beautifully designed space with dramatic lighting, a strong bar presence, and enough room to host serious events without feeling cramped.
This is not Tex-Mex. The menu leans San Diego/Baja with regional depth — smoked short rib mole, goat birria, Siete Mares seafood caldo, steak chimichurri, and a creative corn “lasagna.” The overall polish reminded me of the specialty restaurants at upper-end Riviera Maya resorts — composed, elevated, and intentional.
Standouts:
•Empanadas with a delicious smoky braised meat filling (would prefer sauce on the side).
•Smoked short rib mole — tender and well layered. Ask for rice or tortillas; they’re happy to bring them.
•Goat birria taco — flavorful and not gamy. Go light on the consomé.
•Siete Mares — tomato-based seafood soup that reminded me of cioppino.
•Corn lasagna — creative vegetarian option.
•Strong mezcal and margarita program.
Pricing reflects the ambition:
Apps $12–$18
Tacos $6–$9 each
Entrées mid-$20s to low-$30s
Cocktails $15–$17
I’m usually critical of expensive tacos and elotes in Boca/Delray, but most of those spots aren’t trying to be this regionally focused or ambitious. Here, the pricing aligns with execution.
Bottom line: A’LU is operating at a higher tier than much of the immediate area. It needs more traffic. If you’re in Delray or Boca and say there’s nothing different nearby, this is worth the short drive.

From the moment you walk into A’Lu, you can tell this place is something truly special. Every detail of the restaurant, from the stunning build-out and thoughtfully curated décor to the warm, inviting atmosphere, creates an unforgettable dining experience. The handcrafted drinks are nothing short of exceptional, perfectly balanced, and clearly made with care and creativity. The food is delicious.
A’lu doesn’t just serve a meal, it delivers an experience. Great food, incredible drinks, and a gorgeous space come together seamlessly. Everything about this restaurant is exceptional, and it’s a place you’ll want to return to again and again.

If you’re looking for a standout dining experience in Boynton Beach, Alu Mexican is a must-visit destination that hits all the right notes. From the moment you arrive, the convenience is apparent; unlike many local spots, there is ample parking, making the start of your evening stress-free.
The atmosphere is fantastic, featuring a large, well-stocked bar perfect for grabbing a margarita before heading to the outdoor seating area. The patio offers a lovely view that elevates the entire meal, providing a breezy, scenic backdrop that’s hard to beat in the area.
The Highlights
The Food: While the entire menu is impressive, the queso chorizo dip is an absolute game-changer. It’s rich, flavorful, and the perfect start to a meal.
The Service: The staff here is exceptionally friendly and attentive, ensuring you feel welcome from chips to dessert.
The Vibes: Whether you’re sitting at the expansive bar or enjoying the outdoor vista, the energy is consistently upbeat and inviting.
Overall, Alu Mexican delivers a perfect blend of high-quality cuisine and a relaxed, beautiful environment. It’s quickly becoming a local favorite for a reason!

Happened upon this restaurant after looking for places near our hotel. Amazing find. Upscale Mexican is the best way to describe it. Menu isn’t large but it’s well rounded and everything we had was wonderful. Loved the rice and beans!! Happy hour margaritas are good too. Staff was super friendly and helpful and this would be a wonderful romantic place on a warm note outside by the lake, but the bar was perfect too!

We booked a reservation for my wife’s birthday. When we walked into Alu, we were impressed with the atmosphere and decor. Unfortunately once we were seated, things kind of fell apart. The first round of drinks took about 35 minutes to get to our table. We put in some apps, which came out pretty quick. We ordered a second round of drinks at 6:42, and they did not get to the table until 7:35. We asked a couple times and were told the bartender was working on them. We then put our dinner orders in. The dinners came out in a normal amount of time. I ordered the carne asada, which to be honest was probably the worst I’ve ever had at a restaurant. Presentation was great but the execution was rubbery and undercooked. The churrasco looked 10x better and was about 2x the size cut for only $7 more.
This restaurant has zero leadership. The two servers put on our party were overwhelmed because I’m pretty sure they were the only two working all the tables. The bartender had nobody at the bar, and definitely needed help. I would definitely not return. While the restaurant looks awesome, and has a ton of potential, the delivery and execution is absent. The waiters didn’t introduce themselves, didn’t recommend anything.

We love this place. My husband and I went on Valentine’s Day for Asada fries and drinks. The food, drinks, atmosphere and staff are always on point. Our waitress, Neli was awesome!!!

First time at A’Lu — really glad we finally gave it a shot.
We’d driven by a bunch and were hesitant due to the low-key location and lack of branding, but once inside, it’s a total hidden gem.
What we ordered:
Appetizer
• Short rib empanadas to start — absolutely delicious. Familiar flavor with a unique twist.
Meals
• My wife had the grilled chicken salad — fresh, hearty, and well balanced.
I got two tacos:
• Al Pastor (sweet/spicy and packed with flavor)
• House taco with skirt steak & grilled jalapeño (really hit the spot)
The taco filling came in warm bowls with tortillas on the side — perfect for customizing or sharing. Way more fun (and flavorful) than your average taco setup.
A few notes:
• Slightly higher price point, but the flavor and presentation made it worth it.
• Can’t wait to come back for happy hour — the deck seating will be great once the weather cools down.
• Feels like one of those under-the-radar spots locals already know about.
Highly recommend. Great food, great vibe — exceeded expectations.

I absolutely love, love, love this place!
The whole set up is a VIBE
I come here for happy hour and I can’t figure why it’s not packed every night ♂️ The margaritas alone keeps me coming back. The deck on the water is a bonus. Just what I need at the end of any day.
Sometimes I smoke a cigar. Did I mention there are several nooks you can post up in and smoke one without bothering the nonsmokers?
Looooook, midaaaaa… I’ll see you there next time, but not too many of you. I don’t wish to be standing outside waiting to get into my favorite spot.

This was first time trying this place for brunch and it was amazing. One of the best brunch place in boynton beach. I disagree with all the people who are complaining about the food in the previous reviews or maybe they improved their menu but the food is no doubt amazing. The service was great and the atmosphere with the lake view is gorgeous. I’d highly recommend to try this place out.

All I have is one word and that’s Neli. You might be wondering what I am talking about. When you come into this restaurant, that’s who you want to ask for to help you. With my first time being here, I want to say, I was lost confused, not knowing which way to or what to order on the menu. But Neli Was the light to my way. With her, we were able to choose delicious meal options for me and my date. The drinks came Fast and she was very attentive to our needs. This whole dining experience would’ve not been the same without her. At the end, She recommended us The best thing by far. The Horchata ice cream with tres leche cake. Here’s a little tip that she told us “mix it!”. In the end, I would recommend this restaurant and Neli As a package deal for the best experience ever.
