"This casual BYOB Mexican spot in West Town feels like it’s one folding chair away from being a takeout joint. But Alegrias is a sit-down restaurant with incredible seafood, and the atmosphere feels like a constant party. It’s great for groups so what you’re going to want to order here is the family platter, which comes with crab legs, prawns, and stuffed lobster. Then just get to work cracking and peeling, and don’t be afraid to get your hands dirty." - adrian kane, veda kilaru, nick allen, john ringor
