    Beef Taco
    GayeLynn M.

    We went on a Tuesday. They do have margaritas and tostadas on special for Tuesday. I'm not a fan of tostadas. I find them difficult to eat. I ordered an enchilada, which was good but one of the smallest ones I've ever had. We did split some chips and queso between 5 of us so I was satisfied and not overly stuffed. I had 2 margaritas that barely gave me a buzz. Service was not as prompt as some others have posted . 2 waitresses were working and there were maybe six occupied tables. Love the location with ample parking. The atmosphere inside is clean, with plenty of space. Conversations seemed loud for the small number of occupied tables

    American GI Forum is actually a non-profit veteran family organization. It has an operational restaurant that is open to all. The outside of the building is decorated with a number of military related murals. You enter from the back of the building and proceed down the stairs to enter the main dining room. If you have ever been to any of the fish frys at the local churches in Omaha, then that is what the dining room looks like. Simple tables and chairs along with a bar. There is military paraphernalia all around the walls with a number of historical items posted. Menu is what is best defined as Tex-Mex. We ordered the two taco dinner and the three taco combo with rice and beans. Taco shells are actually fried, which is a bit different for me, but they were good. Tried the beef and chicken tacos. Personal preference was the chicken. Prices are very reasonable....cheap even. Two meals with drinks came to a total of $12.34 cents not counting tip. Worthwhile for you to drop in, try the food, and check out the history on the walls of the facility. Oh and big screen TV in the main dining room with more TVs behind the bar for your viewing pleasure.

    I was hesitant to go to the GIF after they were recently closed down by the health department. They previously received a "fair" rating from the health department, which is the lowest rating they will give and still allow you to remain open. Apparently they fell below that and were shut down. Yikes!! I saw they recently opened again, so I contacted the health department myself to inquire about their improvements, if any. Here is the email reply I received; "I have completed three visits to the facility since their closure. After their closure the facility required food safety training for all food contact employees and hired a new kitchen manger. Since taking these steps the facility has done an excellent job. During their last inspection they received an excellent rating. Their next inspection will be due in May." I was so glad I contacted them so I knew they have made major improvements. We stopped in to eat last night and they also did some remodeling to the place...new floor, painted walls, more TV's, etc. The food and service were spot on! For all you people who were like me and hesitant to go back...get going! They are back and health department approved with an "Excellent" rating! They also have a new menu. Looks like it's temporary for now while maybe they are working on items?

    Greasy and delicious. I would definitely call this tex-mex, and not necessarily at its finest.
