Alegrias Seafood
Chicago
レビュー
This place was SO GOOD. We went for a small family dinner and everyone loved their meals. I normally don’t love fried shrimp but the fried shrimp dinner my dad had was absolutely incredible. We all ended up sharing each other's plates. My sister got fajitas and I had grilled shrimp with the house sauce on the side, and I swear we were dipping everything in it. The waitress was just as kind and thoughtful as could be and made great recommendations. We didn’t BYOB but their na drinks and frescas were really nice. Most of the other tables brought beer, tequila, etc.
We helped a friend pick up a takeout order from Alegrias Seafood for her party, and it was our first time there. The party tray was tasty and enjoyable overall. It was a little saltier than our preference, but still good. What really stood out to me was the fried whole fish dish I saw while we were there. It looked so good that it made me want to come back another time to dine in and try it fresh.
Love this place typically, but ordered takeout and spent nearly $35 on burned, flavorless food (see other better reviewed photos to compare). Prices are not worth the gamble/inconsistency.
Algerias is such a vibrant seafood spot! We started with a refreshing complimentary ceviche before diving into two massive platters - the Charola Mixta with shrimp, crab, and mussels, and a shrimp & octopus combo. The shrimps leaned on the smaller side, but the sauce was so rich and flavorful, and the crab was surprisingly great too. The garlicky shrimp and octopus platter was an instant standout with bold and deeply satisfying flavors. Overall, we loved the warm hospitality and generous portions of the place with comforting flavors.
