Had a great time dining at Alero. This was our first visit and the description we read said it was "hip and lively," and that's accurate. A large party of birthday celebrators near our table made it very loud but also very festive. It was a Saturday night so we expected a potentially noisy crowd, so that was fine. Our server was attentive and prompt. The food was delicious; we both had enchiladas that were full and tasty. We will likely visit Alero again!

It was fine for a Mexican restaurant, the art was fantastic. It was very loud, and in hindsight I should have thought about that - it is a Mexican restaurant. Service was ok, not perfect. They sat a 8 top right on top of us, and quarters were tight. Once the I top was in, we were forgotten so a little disappointing.
I don't live in DC, so I found the cost a little high, but I think that's because I'm coming from out of state. Compared to other restaurants we went to, it's on par with the DuPont Square area.

My friends and I went this weekend and while I understand the business due to the homecoming bar hops and do not blame them for the wait, everything else was just a waste of time and money. One free TINY basket of chips and a side cup of salsa, then $6 for anything after. We had probably 10 chips in our basket. When our food arrive an hour and a half later it was ice cold, the rice tasted like the uncle Ben’s box rice. And we couldn’t even ask to get food remade because our waiter was no where to be seen. In the two and a half hours there we saw our waiter twice, barely got refills, and after our food was delivered, did not see them until about an hour after with our bill.

We were greeted immediately and the service was very prompt. They checked on us frequently. The food was very good as were the margaritas— we had a 1/2 pitcher, enough for a glass and 1/2 for the two of us. It was moderately noisy. I could hear the person across the table, but had to lean in a bit. All in all great location, close to DuPont metro. Will go again
