Las Vegas Restaurant Week 2025 adventures continued with dinner at Alebrijes Cantina by Chef Paco at the Fremont Street Experience on Wednesday, 6/11/25.
This restaurant was hard to find! We looked all around based on the address for the restaurant. Couldn't readily find it. Had to call and ask for directions. It's on the 3rd floor down in an "off-shoot" of Fremont Street. There's no visible signage for the restaurant until you walk down towards Denny's. Then you see a sandwich board type sign.
$40 dinner:
Started off with the runner brining us a little order of chips and mole. YUM! Very good mole.
First course: I ordered the Panuchos: homemade corn tortilla with black beans Cochinita pibil, fresh avocado, pickle onions, and queso fresco. Delicious and savory. The meat was moist and the corn tortilla was light and airy.
Second course: I ordered the Mar Y Tierra Tacos: Corn tortilla with toasted cheese, guacamole, chipotle ancho dressing, salsa pasilla, steak, grilled shrimp, bacon, cilantro onion, and queso fresco. The steak on this one was a little over cooked but the salsa pasilla and the chipotle ancho dressing helped. Nice surf n' turf tacos. Great flavor. But the corn tortilla fell apart easily so made it semi-messy.
Third course: Flan: Chef Paco's family recipe, available in 2 amazing flavors: traditional vanilla or coffee. I ordered the coffee flan; which was a dense flan with a very light coffee flavor and the caramel sauce under the flan worked well together.
The restaurant is decorated very authentically "Mexican" and the various little figures through-out the restaurant were super colorful and great mural artwork by the stage.
Our server was super friendly and attentive. Quick to get our orders out to us and get us whatever we requested quickly.
Very good experience and priced well.
