This cute little shop had great service and decent food but I do think I need to try out their larger seafood platters or fried fish before I can give a...

Been coming here for years and have been recommending the place as well to my Air bnb guests. So, three of us and my kid were in there this week and the...

Seafood is some of my favorite stuff and alegrias does it well. Came here with my family and did not regret it. Octopus, shrimp, lobster, not one thing was...

One of the best seafood restaurants within the Wicker Park neighborhood. Their large shareable seafood dinner (4-6) is absolutely fulfilling. Everything was cooked to perfection, nothing was too salty or undercooked. I definitely was not disappointed about this restaurant. The service here was good and attentive. This place does get busy, but once you get seated and squared away, the food here is worth it.

May 2022 Re-discovered place. We liked the fish filled and the fantastic. Excellent service and very friendly staff. BYOB. Outside seating. We will come back. It was just okay. May be it was an off night. Shrimps were severely overcooked.

Waited 35 minutes to be seated despite 2 available tables. Waited 25 minutes for the waitress; she never returned. She didn't want to serve us but couldn't ask us to leave. Another couple was seated after us and was served while we waited. Took our business elsewhere.

Had a great lunch. Thank you for your great hospitality. Would definitely go there again. Fire 😊😊😊

Alegrias has some of the most unique seafood dishes I've seen. The Piña Rellena was absolutely AMAZING. The amount and quality of food for the cost is more than worth it. Plus, the service was fast and very friendly.

Octopus was very tender. Sauce from shrimp dish was fantastic. Crab had lots of meats and loved it. I recommend to order rice on the side to eat with the sauce. It's so good! It's BYOB. Bring your own tequila and ask for Squirt and mix it with it!

I'd wanted to try the place for a long time so I was excited to go. The menu seems limited. I was surprised by this. The bread wasn't accompanied with oil or butter. We tried a breaded pork which we didn't enjoy and didn't finish. The pasta special was delicious. We also got the prawns and although difficult to eat were also delicious. The interior is simple. We would go back for a pasta dish.
