The food here is pretty good! Came here with a wonderful UNO team. The service was amazing! The server was very tentative.
I had the four carne asada tacos and they were perfect. I was surprised to eat them all as I was stating to fill up on the chips and salsa.

Really great, authentic Mexican food. I ordered via DoorDash recently and the food traveled well, especially considering it was a bit far (10+ miles). We tried some different items this time and it was all really good. The ceviche was really good. The Gordita has tons of meat. Service through DoorDash was great - easy ordering and quick delivery.

They are served with cilantro and onions on top as well as sliced radish and limes on the side. The sopes with pork were also very good. They were a good size and two was filling. We also tried a chicken enchilada with green salsa. While it was good, it wasn't nearly as good as the tacos or sopes. My three year old loved her dinosaur chicken nuggets. They were fried and actually not too bad. When you first sit down, they bring out a sampler of five different salsas with chips. They tasted fresh and each one was very good ranging from mild to hot. Do yourself a favor and skip the margarita. There was too much mix and very little tequila. The first one was ok enough to order another, but the second was hard to get down because the mix flavor was so overpowering and it was terrible. Our waitress was great and all in all it was a great lunch!

Love this place! First, they bring you a delicious salsa flight with chips! All are unique and fun to try! Meals here are priced affordable and match the portions. Our waitress was very friendly and even offered some of her favorite dishes on the menu. It's a small little spot, booths and some tables. Get there early as seating might be hard to find in a dinner rush! Would definitely recommend! Enchiladas are amazing!!!

Highly impressed with our order from Door Dash tonight. We will definitely have to visit in person for all of those delicious salsas! We had the mixed pupusa, Chile relleno, enchiladas, and flautas. All where delicious. We are excited to try more dishes. I'm glad we found a new wonderful Mexican restaurant!

This place is the bombdotcom! I have been looking for an authentic Mexican restaurant to be able to sit in and this is it! They brought us an assortment of salsa which are all fireee. And on top of that my torta was amazing! Great service and the staff were nice. Will definitely be coming back.

The best Mexican food in Omaha hands down. They are very accommodating, and the food tastes spectacular. The tacos always hit the spot, and the rice and beans are great too! I also love getting the menudo or posole on the weekends, depending on my mood. They're both super flavorful and filling. I love coming back and making this my go to for real authentic Mexican food.

Been here 2-3 times every week. I was from Cali BTW. I'm very picky about the food taste (I was spoiled from California food). I had tried out a lot Mexican restaurants around the area. I would recommend this place.
If any restaurants I don't like, I would not come back there again. Hands down.
Food here is pretty decent. First I like how they set you up with sauces and chips when you sit.
The taste is 8/10 compared to California Mexican food.
Service is 10/10
Atmosphere is 9/10
I'd say it's hard to find a good Mexican food in Nebraska but this one is standout from 10 restaurants I've tried in Nebraska. Give it a try.Helpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 1 - Tracy L.NE, NE06Sep 26, 2023
Easily my favorite Mexican place in Omaha. I grew up in Texas and have lived in California and Arizona as well. I've also traveled in Mexico. Has an interesting menu and quality food that would stand out anywhere. Love the salsa flight!

We tried this restaurant after receiving recommendations from a friend. I love Mexican food, and think I have found my new favorite place for it! The salsa flight was delicious, and had a variety of flavor and spice. If you are going to order tacos, I recommend the homemade tortilla. The enchiladas were delicious as well. While I would give a full five stars, my husband did report his Fajitas were on the dryer side, and he did not care for them.

Wife and I did El Rancho Fri night on our "date" night. Been here many yrs ago and enjoyed it and this time it lived up to my memory.
Loved the sauces served with chips. Tried every one and she did too (which I didn't think was gonna happen cuz she doesn't like trying new and unusual things). Said it was all good.
I had #5 Combo. Steak Taco and 2 Flautas w/beans and rice. Delish. She had cheese quesadilla. Said was good, also.
Oh, and the Negra Modela did hurt, either.
Can't wait to go backHelpful 1Thanks 0Love this 0Oh no 0
