Today we decided it was a DO-OVER...it very delicious if you want authentic Mexican food...warning...you will love it and want to keep coming back to try their entire menu...The servers are friendly and very attentive just like last time we were here...(yes they are bilingual ..just like ME...)
My favorite tacos in town! They're simple in the best way: fresh tortillas, steak, cilantro, and onions. Nothing else needed and they nail it. I love their tamales, rice, and beans as well. They have crisp chips and salsa brought to the table when you sit. They also have a great avocado sauce, which goes perfect on anything. Servers are nice, and you pay at the front desk.
Browsing on MLK day, my girlfriend and I checked out this establishment. Very clean, plainly decor in South Omaha that I was very impressed. Once seated our server brought our chips and salsa which has a nice bit of heat. I chose the Quesabirria which were incredible while she opted for Huevos A La Mexicana. She was quite surprised that a breakfast menu too was offered. Both entrees as stated were quite enjoyable. I would highly suggest adding them to your dining experience.
Authentic Mexican food served promptly and very friendly staff. The chili relleno was large and our entrees had very generous portions. Quesa Birria tacos are always an excellent choice! Everything was flavorful, even the refried beans and rice. Nice selection of salsas available for all palates. This will be definitely be one of my favorite restaurants in South Omaha!
Best MEXICAN food IN OMAHA! The service was amazing as well. I had the Al Pastor burrito, it was the best meat I ever put into my mouth
