    I had my daughter's birthday at Alero Restaurant, and it was awesome. The food was great and the music was wonderful. The workers were very attentive to our needs and we had a great evening. Thank you.

    Love the atmosphere there. The staff is pretty attentive. The happy hour margaritas were pretty lame so you’re really better off just paying a regular price for a decent one. Homemade guacamole was yummy and so were the chicken quesadillas.

    The food was amazing def a 10/10 experience. Our waiter was good! However, he made a few mistakes and tried to make up excuses. For example, my boyfriend ordered steak and shrimp quesadillas, they gave him chicken and shrimp then tried to say he never ordered steak. Additionally, we came during happy hour and he still charged us full price for our drinks and said that th check was printed after happy hour (happy hour is 3-7, our check was printed at 6:30) other than those things I would definitely go again.
