¡Alfaro Vive, Carajo! is the second EP by At the Drive-In, released in 1995. The title takes its name from the Eloy Alfaro Popular Armed Forces, a clandestine left-wing group in Ecuador.

"Plastic Memories" is omitted from the vinyl release of the EP, and was later re-recorded and released on the El Gran Orgo EP as "Picket Fence Cartel". The back-up vocals on "Ludvico Drive-In" were done by Laura Beard and Sarah Reiser, who were friends with Bixler-Zavala and were also fellow band members in the short lived group The Fall on Deaf Ears. The two girls died in a car wreck two years later. This is the last CD to feature Jarrett Wrenn and Kenny Hopper who went on to create Crime in Choir.
