This is a pretty bad restaurant for Mexican food. The salsas are all extremely sour. That’s a theme here.
The rajas tacos were oily and tasteless. But the worst was the apparently award winning plate of cauliflower. That was a random assortment of things thrown in together, with no rhyme or reason.
This place is severely lacking if you are vegetarian/vegan. It appears this would be a good option but it is super disappointing.

Drinks are great. But the food is so so. Mexican rice was under done . Crunchy. The flavor was so so. Ceviche needs more flavor. Beans had zero salt in them, they were bitter. Fries were good.

Arrived with a five top for a late lunch, it was pretty mellow and quiet. Food and drinks hit the spot, everything was great. They have a great selection of food and drinks to choose from. I’d suggest this place to anyone who needs a casual lunch that are lower in price point in comparison to the resort prices in the area.

I would give them 10 stars if I could. My husband and I popped in on a whim and we can’t wait to come back during our next vacation. We had a fabulous lilikoi margarita with delicious chips and salsa to start with, followed by a vegan cauliflower bowl and pork enchiladas. Every single bite we had was out of this world-so much flavor is imparted into each and every dish. The beans and sauces stood out just as much as everything else. Staff is super friendly as well. We can’t wait to come back!

My wife and I tried here as the menu stated it accommodated gluten free folks. What a Find, we both ordered the 3 taco specials, we both changed our tacos to (hers) chicken, onion, cilantro and cheese only, mine was grilled steak. BEST TACO’S we have EVER eaten, Anywhere in our lives. Yes, we’ve been to Mexico many times. They said they will make some GF desserts, so we can have those next time too. Can NOT wait to come back here in March with the adult kids. Looked like could use a few more customers, only writing this so they stay in business, not to make a giant wait next time we come. Go Here, they deserve the business, for the phenomenal food they put out. We’d give 10 stars if we could too, like another reviewer said

Stopped in after snorkeling for an afternoon snack. Hibiscus margarita had that punch and tart of the hibiscus and lime without being overly sweet. The ceviche was fresh and perfectly balanced.
Ginormous selection of tequilas and the mescal mule is a must.
We chatted with the owner, super nice guy.
Crazy dark haired lady (customer) was a downer, but I’d still go back.

I recently dined at Alebrije Hawaii, and I must say, it’s the best Mexican food I’ve tasted outside of Mexico! What impressed me the most was their thoughtful inclusion of vegan options. I opted for the soy chorizo chilaquiles, which were absolutely delicious and paired perfectly with a side of beans. The meal started with fresh corn chips and salsa, both of which were exceptionally flavorful—the chips were delightfully crispy, and the salsa had just the right balance of flavors without being too spicy.
My husband tried the enchiladas suizas and declared them the best he’s ever had! We were both impressed with the generous portions and how well each plate was prepared. The staff even accommodated our baby by providing sides of beans and avocado.
To complement our meal, we enjoyed margaritas made with high-quality tequila and no additives, reflecting the restaurant’s commitment to excellence in every aspect. Their extensive knowledge of tequilas was evident, and I’m looking forward to trying a tequila flight on my next visit to sample more of their offerings.
Beyond the outstanding food and drinks, the staff’s warmth and helpfulness added to our dining experience. It’s clear that Alebrije Hawaii is a labor of love, being family-owned by owners hailing from Mexico City. Overall, it was a delightful dining experience that left us eager to return and explore more of their menu. Highly recommended for anyone craving authentic Mexican flavors in a welcoming atmosphere!

Such a unique Mexican restraunt, we spoke to Douglas and he explained the tedious process that goes into every meal/side. while other restaurants use premade mixes Alebrije does everything by hand from scratch. Personally I loved the award winning Baja bowl and cauliflower bowl. the atmosphere of the restaurant was warm welcoming and kind, I loved the open concept and the staff was exceptionally kind.

Had guac and fajitas. HUAC had no sour cream and too much lime. Couldn’t eat it. Fajita would have been ok but no sour cream or cheese. Green peppers were under cooked. Bottom line food was not ver good.

Upscale Mexican dining without the ridiculous prices. Handmade chips and house medium salsa. When we came they still only had the soft opening menu. Mainly ceviche and a few things for the keikis. Pollo quesadilla mainly. But they are very good. Our kids ate them up like they were going out of style. Mermaid mule is a delightfully smooth tropical concoction. Mango is fresh and lively. The green aqua Chile is a good spice level for anyone who likes spice.
