Great service, food was good overall. Disappointed in the pupusas, they were dry inside like they'd been reheated, and the curdido was lacking flavor. My chili rellano was delicious and I would return just for that!

Been to this place several times and it has never disappointed when I'm craving Latin cuisine. The service is spectacular and give great suggestions if you want to try somewhere new. Can be a bit loud at night and unfortunately for our server and my kiddos it was a bit embarrassing to have some fifty year olds talking like sailors yelling orders at the poor server. We gave her a big tip and she said it made her night. She apologized for those guests. Was not her fault at all as she did a wonderful job. Ambiance is pretty much like every other bar and Latin restaurant. The chips and salsa are ok as the salsa is not my favorite, but that is the only thing that is mediocre. It's also complementary so can you really complain lol? My go to is the carnitas which is so full of flavor and absolutely delicious. This time I went with on a suggestion by our server the Sopes. They let me pic a couple different meats to top it too. I went with the Al pastor and birria shredded beef. Absolutely lovely and the pineapple in the Al pastor was so fresh. Amazing! My wife got the ceviche and said the flavor was good and her only complaint was that the shrimp was over cooked. So a bit of a downer their and not raw fish like most. So ok but not their best. My mother in law got camarones your way with the spicy sauce. This if you like spice it was a home run. Delicious flavor and large quantities of everything. Very good. My son got the carne asada burrito and it was huge. He loved it. His only complaint (he could live off beans) was that there was not enough beans. He said it would also be better if they were black beans instead of refried. My little 8 year old food critic lol. No joke of you are looking for good quality Latin food that is reasonably priced this is a great place to go. Never been disappointed.

We visited Alicia's tonight for my daughter's 11th birthday. It was wonderful! The portions are huge, the prices are very reasonable, and the service was great. The food was high quality and authentic. The decor is really cute too! Very clean, colorful and fun. We'll definitely go back! We need to spread the word about this fabulous restaurant.

My boyfriend and I popped in here on a whim after a workout and we were so pleasantly surprised! I had the Chimichanga with chicken and he had the Cena Catracha. The chimichanga was hearty and filling without being too fried and greasy. The steak with the Cena Catracha was moist and delicious, but the serving size was pretty small. The service was prompt and friendly. We especially loved that they had multiple THC drink offerings from local places!

Wifey & I are back living in St. Paul, and we're attempting to get reacquainted with the cuisine in the area! Today was my day to pick dinner and I chose Alicia's Latin Cuisine (ALC). We really lucked out on this one! Ordering over the phone was good. I couldn't find my meal on the menu, and the gentleman on the phone, was so pleasant, he put me to ease. I wasn't aware that Alicia's Latin Cuisine is in New Brighton. The pickup was easy, and the ambiance was pleasant and the people were nice. NOW, THE FOOD (see the picture) ... it's cuisine! I'm talking TOP TIER!! Don't sleep on Alicia's Latin Cuisine! The Ribeye's tender, juicy, and cook to perfection! My meal was such a sultry surprise! If A.C.L. was in Hudson, she's worth the trip!! Go to Alicia's Latin Cuisine, you will not be disappointed! We had takeout, soon we will dine!

New local family restaurant. Amazing corn dip!! Carnita meat and rice were a little dry. Strawberry margarita was excellent! I'd go back just for the corn!!
