Pizza-Birria- firer
Tisha B.

Fun place, great atmosphere, wonderful service and the food was delicious as well. A must go to place

Hillary P.

Such a lively spot on the weekends. Live music, great group/family gathering spot and less than typical Mexican food. Fish served much in the Baja style (whole and unstinted) makes for a delicious and messy meal. More typical chips, salsa, guacamole all available along With fajitas, tacos, rice and beans, etc. the difference here is that there are more seafood options than Americanized Mexican restaurants. They even sport a sushi bar which is pretty good and shows the fusion capabilities when the ingredients and know how come together. Margaritas on tap, beers, and plenty of tequila options available. Fast service, but be sure to ask for a knife as this is an all hands on food experience! Open all week, this place is busy on the weekends with live music and a full house it can get loud and parking tight. If you are looking for quiet, try it during the week and enjoy happy hour deals. The original of two Omaha locations, this South O locale now boasts the addition of an ice cream parlor like their West O spot. Yum and fun!

Decent service and excellent food excluding one major factor, our food took 40 minutes after ordering to arrive.

Quesa-Tacos
Saúl

Quesa-Tacos are the best birria tacos I have tried in Omaha. They are big, tasty and soft. They may be a little pricey, but they are worth every penny. Totally recommended. Pizza birria was delicious. No words to describe this masterpiece. Completely recommended.

Fried Shrimp
Phillip K.

Great space, food and service. The menu is huge but focused on Mexican Seafood and some sushi.

Quesadilla de Birria
Missy M.

They welcomed us as soon as we came in the door. Beautiful, colorful seating area. They have a mixture of sushi, seafood and Mexican cuisine. I ordered a burrito with shredded beef and cheese, in a yummy beef consommé. We ordered a spicy California roll and shredded beef quesadilla. Our waitress was super nice. We got to listen to a mariachi band, a little loud, but nice.

I've been here several times and haven't had a bad experience. Service is always fast and the servers are always friendly. I love their ceviche, the mixto is my favorite. The camarones (shrimp) roca is also amazing, comes huge battered shrimp with a delicious sauce (it's like bang bang sauce). Also got a pulpo (octopus) taco, tender and flavorful. The canarito was also good. I swear every time I come in there is some sort of buy one get one free drink special. I need to check out the location out West and the new on in Shadow Lake.

This was my first time trying Mexican sushi and it was a flavor bomb since it tasted similar to a fried sushi roll from a typical sushi place but with a Mexican twist which elevated the dish. The smoked marlin enchiladas (flour) with refried beans and rice was also delicious and the portion is huge like Texas to the point that I got full even with a large appetite. As for the chips and salsa, it was pretty good. Overall, I would come back again to try more dishes on the menu especially more of the Mexican sushi.

Molcajete Mar-Stone
Alan M.

I went to Isla Del Mar with some friends and we loved it. I had the Molcajete Mar and a michelada and they were both yummy. The service was good, and staff were bilingual. They had live music which was a plus.

Kimberle B.

I really don't know why it took me so long to try this place I love seafood! Isla Del Mar did not disappoint! They have a big menu and Our waiter was very nice answered all of our questions about the menu! Food was delicious and the portions were just right! We did go on a Friday evening and there was live music I was having some trouble hearing the conversation we were having but as they always promote on their social media live music on Fridays I wasn't surprised!

Guacamole
Kiera J.

I love their birria tacos!!! Their guacamole is so good too and I made sure to order extra chips this time!! I also ordered a Horchata that was so delicious! A side of their consume was perfect with the tacos!

Cantarito
Sara F.

The place for Birria! From quesadillas to fries, to nachos to ramen; they offer a wide array of how you can get their tender with slight spice Birria. There's also endless sushi and other dish options. Full bar but my favorite here are the Cantaritos--tangy with a chamoy Tajin rim. A large restaurant means no waiting for a table and the servers are always attentive.

Monkey Brain
Erinn B.

Mind blown. Totally. Freaking. Blown. I was in town for a quick visit with relatives and we wanted to try this place out after reading about it online. Wow. Started with shrimp nachos and a grilled octopus that I will literally dream about until we can come back to town. Served with rice and a delicious and fresh pasta salad, it was literally perfection. We ordered the sushi "monkey brains" that was yummy crab stuffed into an avocado, breaded and fried with spicy Mayo and eel sauce on top. Yummmm, made me dance in my seat. We tried 2 other rolls, I don't Remember the name of - both very tasty. But the big surprise was the bariria!!!!! Soooo gooood! We will be back!!!!

Particularly enjoyed the light and fresh taste of the khaleesi. The bites were really the stars, my personal favorite was the foienagi. That was divine. No other words. Had to circle back for seconds on that one. The prairie tuna was pretty good as well. Now, the whole experience to this point was good but dessert put it over the top. The cheesecake. The word I used in the moment was sublime. And I stand by that. Special shout out to Aurora on that one. Speaking of, the service was top notch! Highly recommend sitting at the bar as that just added to the experience for us.

While not the best I've had, it was definitely good and I would go again! I wish I had gotten to try some rolls, but went purely with nigiri and sashimi this time around as I think that's the true tell of quality for a sushi restaurant. Favorites of the night were the tenzushi (sweet shrimp), hamapon (hamachi sashimi) and the uni. The Hama toast is really popular here but I wasn't expecting the bread to be soft - I think if it would have been crunchy instead then I would have loved it. The service and hospitality were outstanding - our server was kind enough to gift us the ume hirame to try and it was one of our favorites of the night. The shisho with the fluke made such a clean and refreshing bite. The chef also shared his chu-toro from his private dinner the night before and it was delicious as well. Don't skip their drinks either - the ube drink was so good that I had to order it again.

Finding good sushi in the middle of America is certainly a treat. And at Koji, the sushi here is…read morecertainly good. Tasted fresh to me! (although I think the fish is cured to retain freshness) We ordered a couple rolls, but mostly stuck to the nigiri. The Hama toast, prairie tuna, and yaki gindara were all ono. The yaki gindara tasted like butterfish sushi, but with sablefish rather than black cod. Also, the rice used for the sushi tasted similar to the rice used in sushi in Hawaii. We also tried some of the yakitori - grilled meat on sticks. I strongly recommend the tako yakitori. I'm not really into tako poke (Hawaii dish), but this tako with that miso panca sauce is super ono. Full of flavor with a touch of spicy. I could eat that all the time. The five-spice old fashioned they have is also delicious. Service was excellent for us. Our waitress was very friendly and helpful. The restaurant itself has a/c and gives an izakaya vibe familiar in Hawaii. Also, I saw people come in with t-shirt and shorts for dinner. So I guess there isn't really a dress code here. As others have mentioned, Koji is a sister restaurant to Yoshitomo, and the menus of both restaurants do overlap to a degree. However, Koji has MUCH better parking than Yoshitomo. Trying to find parking for Yoshitomo or Ota can be a pain since it's all street parking. Koji is in a strip mall with its own parking lot (free parking too). I will definitely return here whenever I'm in Omaha.

This time around we got some new dishes and rolls and got some of the same as last time. This is…read moresuch high quality sushi for a very good price range. The service was lovely and food came out quick! Always a great dinner spot when we come here!

If you heard about a sushi omakase place in the middle of America, what would you think? I bet…read moreit's probably not fresh-tasting raw dishes or wow-level sushi omakase. But there is a James Beard-level recognized chef here, in Omaha, that is delivering fresh-tasting raw and other omakase dishes week after week - geography be damned. His name is David Utterback. It's incredibly difficult to get reservations at this eight-seat omakase called Ota. Moreso than any omakase in my hometown on an island in the middle of the Pacific. In fact, I dont think he needs this review - the best don't need to advertise. I also don't think we have a sushi chef here in Hawaii that is as nationally-acclaimed as Utterback. So we were very interested to try. And we were very lucky to get reservations. I dont think there is a parking lot for this restaurant, which is tucked within his also highly-regarded Yoshitomo restaurant. So if you from Hawaii like me, and get lucky with the reservations, gotta roll da dice on parallel street parking. That's code for come early ;) (parking is free in the area) W-h-e-n you do arrive at Yoshitomo, there is a small - hidden - waiting area within Yoshitomo where you will be asked to wait for the omakase to begin. The dark photo with the lantern and Ota sign is in that waiting room. - And frankly - That's all that needs to be shown in a photo cause the omakase course itself varies depending on chef's tastes and what's available that week. The courses we had will likely not be the entirety of the courses you have. But the rice might be the same. There is a special black vinegar that chef uses to add to the rice. Ask him about it. There is a whole story behind it ;) So my photos are small in number. They are the highlights of our experience and what stood out to me that is beyond anything I've tried in Hawaii or elsewhere (including the black-vinegar sushi rice) Enjoy - cause we most certainly did :)
