    This place didn't do much for me. The food was mediocre with single tortilla tacos and stale chips. Our server was pretend nice but under the surface genuinely seemed like he didn't want us there. Combined with okay food, just didn't hit it for me. The drinks tasted good, but three margaritas in I didn't even have the slightest buzz. The ambiance is nice, but that's not reason enough I'd come back. Maybe for a happy hour. There are so many amazing authentic Mexican places in Omaha. I'd opt for one of those if you can, but you'll at least leave this place full.

    Nashville hot chicken taco
    Nathan D.

    Service | spacious | taco Service - Overall, the service was great. We went on a Saturday afternoon during a relatively quiet time of day. The bartender was knowledgeable and helpful with the menu. Spacious -The venue is impressively spacious, boasting around 10 outdoor tables where patrons can bask in the fresh air. With 25 to 30 cozy seats available, it's the perfect spot to relax and enjoy the atmosphere! Taco - I had the Nashville chicken hot taco. It was delicious and not that hot. If you like spicy, it is relatively mild. Pro tip - They do a 10% military discount. Pro tip - not a lot of parking immediately in front because it is in the village shopping mall complex. So give yourself some extra time tknpadk and walk.

    Tasty margaritas and yum queso! Chill vibe with a vibrant decor. Located in the Village Pointe shopping center. Wasn't crowded. Excellent service at the bar. While this first trip wasn't for a full meal, I left pleased and wanting to have a full meal here. Can say that sitting at the bar was a pleasant experience. The queso was nice and thick with a good flavor. The salsas were good too.

    Been here a few times before and it seems like they've changed the recipe for the salsa as it's not as good as when they first opened. I would also say that it does seem that everything is a little over salted, but it's still pretty good! We always seem to be able to get a seat quickly no matter what time we get there. My wife ordered a frozen marg and we were initially told that they weren't sure if the machine was going to work "like the McDonald's ice cream machine" so be prepared for that if you're wanting one of those. Music is pretty nice but a tad loud so you'll have to speak up when talking to your group. Otherwise the place is pretty nice and clean.

    Wow this is not what I expected for a restaurant at the mall. The inside is huge with a large bar, plenty of seating, and a waiting area. There's also outdoor seating that is shaded. I didn't have a reservation so I had to wait 20 minutes. I got a drink at the bar while waiting so it wasn't too bad :) the bartender and waitress were both super sweet. I got the birria tacos which WOW - They were amazing. First birria tacos I've ever had too so I don't have much to compare it to. I also had the strawberry pineapple margarita which was very good. The entire place was such a good vibe with great food. Plus not as pricey as I was expecting. I will be coming back to try more!

    Guacamole

    Service alone - 3 stars Food qualify/taste - 4 stars The night we stopped in was not busy based on table appearance. There were 2 people at the bar and 4 tables of 3-4 people each. Our server greeted us somewhat quickly and grabbed our drinks. 5 mins later our drinks arrived. He walked away and appeared 5 mins later to take our food order. 5 mins later he brought us our guacamole appetizer quickly without asking if we needed refills (which we needed). Then came the long wait...15 mins for our food to arrive. He dropped everything off and left without asking if anything was needed. I finally tracked him down a few minutes later to get refills and extra napkins. I completely forgot what I ordered, but I do remember the guacamole and margarita being tasty. We will be back but hope for more attentive service from our server.

    The best part first... the ambiance is amazing. Service was lacking. Server was rude. The food is probably the worst I have ever had. Look at the other reviews; they are accurate. Salsa tastes like it had tomato paste or ketchup in it. We tried a little bit of everything and it was poor!

    prickly pear margarita
    Katie P.

    Ok YUM! I really enjoyed Ancho & Agave. We met up with some friends and had a great time. We went on a Friday evening and I am very very glad we had reservations, it was quite busy! I had a raspberry lime margarita which was delicious, my friend had the prickly pear which was also good, but significantly stronger (not complaining, but just wanted to note that!). Loved the free chips and salsa, but our first round of chips were pretty thick and crunchy, and not really in a good way, they were almost chewy. The second round of chips was a lot better though! We also ordered some queso which was really tasty, but unfortunately a little cold when we got it. I ordered the birria quesadilla. i am still RAVING about it!!! It was so, so delicious!! All of our portions were pretty large too, definitely a good bang for your buck! I didn't love the refried beans and rice, I found them to be kind of bland. We also got a side of mac and cheese, which we also didn't really like. Overall it was a great experience and I would for sure recommend it!!

    Mesquite Chicken Enchiladas
    Adam M.

    This was our first time coming here. We were out at Scheel's looking for cleats and decided to eat here. We were sat right away with a party of 5. The space feels very upscale and is way bigger than we thought it would be. There is a large patio out front as well. The table had two bowls of chips and salsa dropped off quickly along with two pitchers of water. My wife ordered a Habanero Margarita which oddly came out before our pops. Our server was on top of the refills after that though. I ordered the Mesquite Chicken Enchiladas which came out in a green sauce with rice underneath. It was good, a hint of spice to it. My wife ordered the Chicken Burrito and didn't realize that the rice and beans would be in the burrito as opposed to be on the side of the plate. Not a big deal, just unexpected. It was a large burrito. Our younger kids got the kids meals, one quesadillas and one burrito. The burrito was tiny, it looked like it was made with a street taco shell. I would have expected a bigger burrito. It did come with fruit on the side. The service was good overall and no one left hungry. The kids did get the Churros with Ice Cream and it looked like it was legit vanilla bean and the churros were made fresh. Overall we had a good experience and would recommend trying it.

    I wanted to love Ancho & Agave so much, but unfortunately we did not have the best experience in our inaugural visit. The decor is amazing with bright teal blues, rustic wood, and super cool, industrial style lighting, so that was a nice introduction when we walked in. We started with the complimentary chips and salsa. The chips were very hard, like tooth-chippingly hard, but the salsa was super good. Next we ordered our drinks. I got a Dos Equis, and it was nice and cold. But our server told my husband they didn't have any soda due to the supplier losing power. When he asked what else they had that was non alcoholic, she only mentioned agua frescas, only for us to later see a table full of Jaritos (....sodas). So that was disappointing. The aqua fresca he received was pretty good but a little bit bland in flavor. When I hear blueberry and lemon, I definitely think flavorful, and not bland. Speaking of our server, she was also very dismissive, as she had a large table she was working too, and was focusing on them way more than our little two person table. The water we got on the side was tap water and it was served warm, which was not ideal. When we asked for ice waters they never came (and they definitely had ice because my husband's agua freca came with ice!) For our starters, we tried the Taquitos, and they were great and super flavorful. They were almost the size of a full meal if you order them for yourself and not as an app. The Queso dip was tasty but we were supposed to use the same chips we got for the salsa, so they were also very hard. We ended up dipping our taquitos in it instead, and that was amazing. With the Taquitos and Queso being so heavy, my husband only ordered sides for his meal. The Esquites (corn) he got were delicious, but the cilantro lime rice was flavorless and very very dry. I almost choked when I tried a bite of his rice. I had three Street Tacos for my entree. The Chicken Asada was great, with juicy chicken and sweet corn. The Barbacoa had meat that was good but a little dry overall. And the Gringo had pretty bland beef with a giant golf ball sized chunk in the middle that I gagged on. 1 out of 3 is not a great ratio. So with subpar service and so-so food, the cool decor and ambiance doesn't save this one, unfortunately. I may be back to try it one more time and give it another chance, but for this first visit, there was a lot left to be desired.

    This is such a beautiful restaurant with plenty of seating! I really appreciated how accommodating they are for gluten-free diners--one of my friends has a severe intolerance and was able to enjoy her meal without any issues. The drink menu also has a great variety, which is always a plus! The food was good overall, though I wouldn't say it was amazing. I had the birria tacos, and while they were tasty, I've had better elsewhere. That said, this was my first visit, and I'd definitely go back to try more of their menu!

    Twisted Rita (margarita and sangria)
    Michelle M.

    Another great visit tonight. I think our new usual spot is at the bar, and it's probably my favorite spot here. We were entertained by the Savannah bananas baseball game and other diners, discussing random things including football. I had the blackened salmon taco and pork taco with a twisted Rita, which was a frozen marg and sangria mix. I think that'll be my new go-to summer drink! It paired excellently with the chips and salsa and my tacos. The chips came out warm and the salsa hot and spicy! So good. The volume wasn't too bad considering how many people were there, but we were next to the kitchen so it upped the volume a bit. Service was good, we had one bartender taking care of us most of the night but another server came to help when it got busy, so we didn't have to wait too long.

    queso and beer
    Robin D.

    Since it was so nice out, I was able to snag a table on their patio! The servers were great and checked on us multiple times throughout dinner. This was my second time here and I feel like the queso was different from my first visit. It was super watery, mid flavor, and not at all like I remembered. I probably won't be ordering this again, but the rest of the meal was great! I had the birria tacos and the meat was very soft and flavorful. My boyfriend had the al pastor taco as well and he liked it, he thought it had a very good spice to it that was perfectly balanced by the sweetness of the pineapple (his words, not mine). Overall, it was a very fun dinner.

    Tonight we got here around 5:50 and saw a sign on the door that the speakeasy won't be open till…read more6:15 so not sure if it's because it's the weeknight hrs or because there was a private party going on at the main bar. We started off getting their special Christmas cocktails. I got the Snow Bird and my husband got the Not the buttons. The drinks were pretty disappointing, my husband couldn't even finish a quarter of his. The Snow Bird had a coconut foam on top that was absolutely gross in my personal opinion, but the drink itself was fine once I got the straw and avoided the foam. Both of us got burgers with fries and the burgers were very delicious. I would have liked to have some seasonings on the fries though. The staff were welcoming and as attentive as they could be with only having two of them managing about 7 tables and one bartender. The space is very festive and decorated so cozy. Loved the ambiance!

Their theming and decor is always phenomenal and truly makes the experience magical. I have most recently gone to their halloween pop-up, and their Christmas one as well, and both were equally jaw-dropping when it comes to presentation. The service is always great as well, and our first time at Barnato we were confused on how to locate the speakeasy (since we had never been to one before) and the staff was very helpful. My one note is that their holiday mixed drinks have consistently been nicer to look at than to taste, but we mostly come for the theming anyhow.
