"We've been meaning to come here for a long time and were finally in the area during lunch... The Good: It wasn't busy when we arrived around 11:15 and our order was taken quickly. The waitress was very nice throughout our dining experience. The Bad: Our expectations were not met here or just too high. The food was bland and only warm when it arrived. The meat was pretty tough and chewy. We had to ask for napkins and silverware also. The Ugly Truth: If you come here for a smile from the wait staff then you're in the right place. If you want great food that is hot then it's best to find another place in the area to fulfill your taco or nacho cravings. Definitely a lot more hype about this place then it's worth. We won't be returning"

Love this place, their salsa and guacamole are awesome. Although a bit pricey for apps, it's solid food.

Overall, the food was good and the restaurant had a pleasant, relaxing atmosphere. I just wish they stayed open later; however, I understand that their early closing time makes sense given their location, especially on weekdays. View menu

As a southern Californian I can happily say these are the best tacos in Omaha. I've been to tons of restaurants and they have the best asada, el pastor, and carnitas by far. Salsa, churros, and margaritas were great too! Price is high but the quality is worth it.

I just relocated here from San Antonio and was in search of some great street tacos. I tried the asada tacos with a side of cheese, and they were absolutely incredible! My family ordered enchiladas, a burrito, and a bowl, and everyone was satisfied. The service was incredibly fast, and the food was delicious. I can’t wait to return! View menu

For happy hour, they had a $2 deal on street tacos, so my husband ordered three steak tacos and one Baja fish taco (the fish was not part of the deal and cost $3). The tacos were delicious and quite filling! The rice and beans were a bit bland, but we asked for a side of salsa, which made a big difference. Overall, we had a great experience. The service was fast and friendly, the atmosphere was lovely, and the food was pretty tasty.

Good appetizers. We ordered the Trio which came with guacamole, queso and house salsa. The guacamole and salsa were fresh and the queso was mild and creamy. We got a mix of corn and flour chips and both were good. The Baja Shrimp tacos had a lot of shrimp and they were filling. If you want beans or rice, you have to add separately, but the tacos were enough for me. The El Chicano Burrito was was a bit dry. It had good flavor, but I felt like it needed more cheese, salsa or sour cream. The Paloma was ok. It was too sweet and not enough tart or grapefruit. Overall the food and service here was good and it wasn't overly expensive.

"I saw a co-worker with a very delicious looking decent sized lunch salad. I decided to get one myself for dinner. I went for the same salad, the spinach and goat cheese. I decided to go with the half order thinking that dinner portions are normally larger. The salad was 7.50 base and then I paid an extra 1.75 to add chicken. I don 't know if it was because I ordered pickup through GrubHub, or something else, but the experience was terrible. I was never notified that my order was ready. I called the store 5 minutes after my scheduled pickup window had closed and they said oh yeah, it 's ready right here . This was 32 minutes after I placed the order, GrubHub initially said 15-20 minute wait. I checked the box to include cutlery with my order but when I arrived it was not in the bag. I stood at the bar for a couple minutes waiting to be recognized, but I eventually had to interrupt someone behind the counter to ask for cutlery. After I got on the road and started eating, I realized there was no chicken added to my salad. The size of the salad was extremely disappointing, as you can see below compared to the size of my hand. Was closer to 1/4 or 1/3 salad than 1/2. After it was all said and done I paid 9.96 for a snack sized salad that took longer to prepare than promised and contained multiple mistakes on the order. The only reason I didn 't give 1 star is because the salad itself was delicious and fresh. Based on service and value per spent, this was my first and last visit. Edit: I just realized that the salad was also supposed to come with rosemary flatbread that I didn 't receive. Dropping to 1 star, service, value, accuracy, timeliness, all terrible. Flavor is the only thing they got right, but not enough to overcome all the flaws."

"Now, on to the less favorable aspects. From the moment we arrived, there was no greeting, no acknowledgment—nothing. The restaurant was not busy at all around 4 PM, yet the staff seemed to completely overlook both me and my husband. The service was incredibly slow. After a while, one kind woman asked if we had been helped, but we had already been sitting at the bar for a while with menus that I had to request. She mentioned that another staff member would come to take our order, but we continued to wait. We even considered walking out. While we sat there, I noticed another woman at the bar who had also been waiting a long time without any greeting or reassurance about her pickup order. When she was finally attended to, she received an apology for her wait. Shortly after, a man came in to pick up his phone order, only to discover that it had been lost due to a name mishap. And yet, we still waited. At least by then, our order had been placed. When our order finally arrived, we could have easily walked out without paying because the woman never processed our payment. Fortunately, since we are honest people, we informed her that we hadn’t paid yet. Overall, we were quite disappointed with the customer service and the attentiveness of the staff, although the food was excellent. I'm giving the restaurant no less than four stars, hoping that they were just having an off day."
