Alejandro's specializes in new and exciting Mexican flavors.
MOISES NUCAMENDI TOOK A CHANCE when he opened Alejandro's
in downtown Roanoke in November 2007. The Mexican restaurant
was an endeavor that was radically different from his previous
experience at Wendy's corporate office in California.
"It was something we wanted to try," says Nucamendi, who
originally relocated to the east coast to work at a Wendy's franchise
Fresh ingredients, a variety
of options and loyal clientele
are key to many of our locally
owned restaurants. Whether
you're seeking nostalgia or
brand-new flavors, there's
something for everyone! Meet
location. "I was ready for something new. I put it all in, like poker.
Win or lose."
The idea behind Alejandro's was to introduce something
different from what was already here and to bring the type of
food Nucamendi enjoyed in California to Roanoke.
"The difference is in the flavors and what is on the plate," he says.
"We came up with dishes you may not find elsewhere in Roanoke."
And the menu continues to evolve and introduce new options
in an effort to keep the restaurant fresh and up-to-date with an
ever-changing food industry.
But who exactly is Alejandro?
"My brother," says Nucamendi. "We wanted a unique name for
the restaurant, so we went through the list of family members."
Today there are three Alejandro's locations: Campbell Avenue
and Williamson Road in Roanoke, and Mill Lane Commons in Salem.
