I am a Brazilian/Canadian so I can brag about knowing how flavorful food should taste like. My husband and I are so happy to have found an authentic Mexican restaurant here in Chilli (He lived in Mexico for a couple of years). Amazing food!! The place is super cute too. Very friendly staff. Super fair prices. You won't regret it!
After reading and hearing rave reviews about Alicia's, we finally managed to go when they were open. Our first intro to the food was watching the server cut open store bought bags of tortilla chips and dump them in a large plastic bin. Our salsa and chips were stale and extremely salty. When we overheard another server tell a customer they were "sold out of guacamole" at 6:00pm, we were suspect of anything else being made 'from scratch'. I mean how hard can it be to mash up some avocados with lime? Service was sketchy and a table that had ordered after us received their food first. My meal (shrimp tacos) was okay, but again very salty. We didn't finish either of our meals due to salty, blandness. Drinks were weak. Service was terrible, granted the place was busy...but there was nothing special about the experience.
Anyone seeking American-style Mexican cuisine should look elsewhere. Like many of the Mexican restaurants in BC, Alicia's seems to cater to a different style of Mexican food than what most are used to if they've eaten in the US. Cheese is scarce and sauces are very watery. Chips come out of a bag, which are then lovingly dumped into a Rubbermaid container in plain view of diners.The enchiladas were more like wet tacos and despite ordering them with cheese and onion filling, there was little more than a few shredded pieces of cheese in each tortilla and none of it was warm enough to have melted. The refried beans look like they've been watered down from a can and then blended. They're so soupy they have to serve them in a bowl on the side. Burritos were absent from the dinner menu.I really wanted to like Alicia's because the Fraser Valley is starving for good Mexican cuisine. Sadly, I won't be returning any time soon.
Friendly staff that greeted me and sat me in the spot I requested. Food was AMAZING and came sizzling from the kitchen. I had the hyacinth (I think) drink (it was pink and delicious). All told it was a really nice experience, and I will be back for sure with friends!
I lived in Mexico for a couple years and have been looking for authentic Mexican food since I returned home. I found it here at Alicia's. Delicious. Charming restaurant decor and Mexican music, as well. $5 imported beers!
