Can’t say enough about how amazing Ali’s is! We eat here way more often than a person should, and it still isn’t enough! Obviously it’s all personal preference, but hands down the best Mexican rice I’ve ever had at ANY restaurant. Their tacos are some of the best I’ve ever had as well. Never had a meat I didn’t like, especially their carne asada. I definitely miss the days when they used to make burgers too, because they smashed that one out of the park as well! Also the friendliest people you’ll meet. If you have never been, do yourself a favor and cancel all dinner plans and head on over today (unless it’s Saturday/Sunday)! You won’t regret it.

Oh my gosh! We have talked about eating here and finally did! Why did we wait so long??!! Delicious! The marinated pork tacos were the bomb! We may have ordered a couple more! Enchiladas were yummy!

Drove by this place several times and decided to stop and give it a shot. I’m so glad I did! Great food, prices and atmosphere. We ordered the carnitas plate, carnitas tacos and carne asada burrito. All food was perfect and cooked nice and hot! If you’re in the area and hungry, stop by!

We came here for my best friends birthday, where her and her girlfriend are regulars, and I was PLEASANTLY surprised. I got the steak quesadilla with rice and beans and a grapefruit Jarritos drink. It was the best Mexican meal I’ve had in a long time, maybe ever. May I also add that they gave us sombreros to wear and played a happy birthday song over the speakers for my friend. It made the night even more special and unforgettable. Thank you Ali’s!!! We will be back! Go check this place out right now!

Authentic Mexican food. First time I walked in, it smelt like my Nana's kitchen when I was growing up. Very delicious food, very friendly staff. Definitely a place worth stopping by and trying for yourself.

Everything was wonderful the only small complaint I had which is just me being picky is that it was a little too warm inside. Very friendly staff, fresh made guacamole and amazing flavor. Will definitely be back again!!!
