El Alegre Burrito

I moved into the neighborhood and thought I should check it out. I went through the drive-thru so I can't tell you what it looks like on the inside.

They serve American-ish food too. I ordered the gyro and cheese fries. It was hot and smelled great. The cheese on the fries seemed to not exactly taste that good, but I just thought it was their version of cheese fries. Not sure if it was the cheese, but just a few hours later, not have eaten anything else, I got sick. Unfortunately, I will not be going here again, and driving by it actually makes me kinda queasy. I really wished it wouldn't have made me sick because it is close to me. Oh well.

El Alegre Burrito is a Mexican restaurant(they do serve "American" foods also) that does the basics very well. The building is an old hot dog/hamburger joint, and they've done almost nothing to change the place in almost 20 years. But don't let the looks of the place frighten you; they make very good food. It's simple. It's basic. It's delicious. And the service is quick.

Sit and watch Univision and Telemundo programming while you wait for carry-out, or while you dine-in; "Sabado Gigante" with Don Francisco on a Saturday night...Nice.

They do have a drive-thru, and a small parking lot. And metered parking is available on the street.

the flautas plate here is the best flautas i've had. the food is always good. the cooks are kind of weird but whatever. I really like their rice and beans too.
