Tara A. Spears
It’s a little tricky to locate the first time but worth the effort to go to Teriyaki Alex Restaurant in downtown Guayabitos.If you’re looking for an out-of–the-ordinary dining experience that’s off the beaten path,this charming open air café is it.
For 10 years owner Alexandro Cuervas has developed a unique style of Asian fusion menu, live entertainment, and full bar.
The last four years Alex is frequently accompanied by his (now) 9 year old daughter who is also gifted with a beautiful voice and talent.Alex worked for a large hotel in Los Angeles, California, for 20 years.During that time he learned all phases of the restaurant management and tourism.
When the time was right, Alex chose coastal Jaltemba Bay for his business because it ticked all of the boxes of his requirements: excellent place for raising a family; good opportunity to operate a restaurant with Asian dishes; low cost of living in a friendly community and good weather.
Part of the reason for the restaurant’s longevity and loyal customers is the exciting menu choices. Before the pandemic, Teriyaki Alex offered breakfast, lunch and dinner. “All of my employees and I adhere to the covid protocol.”
Whereas normally the restaurant capacity is 80, currently less than half of the seating is used and the hours are noon to 9:00 pm with only Sunday morning hosting breakfast.Teriyaki Alex offers takeout and delivery to your home besides dine in seating.
In addition to vegitarian options, the dinner entres rance from salads to steak to seafood and traditional Asian dishes. The following photos are the popular shrimp teriyaki, Kung pao and chicken pad Thai.
Alex says he strives to provide the best quality food freshly prepared and a relaxing, comfortable atmosphere where everyone is welcome.

Even if people don’t understand the language that you’re singing in, they still have a good timewhen they hear it.”
