Authentic Mexican Restaurant in Roanoke, VA
Alejandros Mexican Grill was founded in 2007 by co-owners Moises and Lisa Nucamendi to bring authentic West Coast-style Mexican cuisine to Roanoke. Our mission centers on delivering exceptional service, innovative dishes, and a unique dining experience anchored by our signature salsa bar. Since opening our first location at the Historic Roanoke City Market, we have expanded to three Roanoke Valley locations while maintaining our family-owned ethos. Our menu features traditional Mexican tacos, Chile Rellenos, Sopes, and house-made Flan, with vegetarian options available for most dishes. We pioneered Roanoke's first taqueria-style salsa bar, offering fresh daily-prepared salsas and unlimited chips with every entree.Our award-winning Margaritas and California fusion cuisine have earned us a loyal customer base. We operate with a commitment to authenticity, quality ingredients, and creating a welcoming environment for all guests. With over 15 years of combined experience in Mexican culinary traditions, we continue to innovate while honoring our roots. Our team takes pride in crafting memorable dining experiences that transport customers to the vibrant streets of Mexico. We value customer feedback and strive to exceed expectations with every visit.
