Tacos
Scottie D.

Came here for taco Tuesday and got a few tacos to go. It's a great deal you get tacos for 2.50 a piece. I tried the beef and chicken both were good but i thought the beef was better. I'll be back again when I'm in the mood for some puffy tacos at a great price!

Jonesy's has been around forever (or at least since I was a kid, which was forever ago), and while they're a little unassuming and divey, they do have some tasty options (those puffy tacos!) My husband and I visited Jonesy's recently after not having been there for quite a while. The decor is the exact same as what I remember from long ago, with sombreros and maracas on the walls. There are a few booths along the front window and along the side wall, as well as a few free-standing tables in the middle of restaurant. The booths (at least the ones along the windows) are all connected between the backs, so you definitely feel every move of the people in the booth behind you. If that's something that bothers you, I would sit at a normal table. The bar has wooden cupboards like a classic old kitchen, and is full of cool mugs, which I hope are there for regular customers and they get to keep their mugs there :-) When you pop in to eat, you seat yourself, and one of the wait staff comes to take your order. The waitress we had on our last visit was super nice and patient with us as we ordered way too much food. We started with the Beef Nachos, which came with LOTS of cheese on top of the beef and chips, which was great. The only one way to improve the base item is to ask for salsa, to cut that cheesy beefiness a little bit. Simple to ask for and makes it perfect! I ordered the Combo #4, which included two beef enchiladas, and one beef fried taco. The way Jonesy's does the fried tacos makes them into the puffy taco style, that is so so good. The beef is cooked like the old style loose meat sandwiches, and the cheese on top is bomb, almost tasting like finely shredded Velveeta. I got a side of the Smiley Fries, because I'm an adult with a very refined palate, and hadn't had these since Valentino's stopped doing their buffet. Jonesy's version is SO good and fried up excellent. The smiley shape makes it honestly taste better than normal fries, with so many places (the eye holes, the smile) for crispiness to hide. My husband definitely stole a few of these and almost ordered his own basket. For his entree, he had the Chicken Enchilada, at the suggestion of our waitress. The beef enchiladas I had were good but the chicken gives it a different texture where beef kind of melds together with the tortilla and sauce. We both got beans and rice on the side of our dishes. The rice is like Spanish Rice, so it does have a good flavor, and the beans have the delicious shredded cheese on them too. At the end of the meal, the server brings you your check and you pay up front. This is where there is one last thing you need to snag before you pay - the brownies at the front! They are homemade, scrumptious, airy little squares of chocolate heaven. I'd say this is a good Tex-Mex option in the midtown area, check you should definitely check it out if you are a fan of divey, classic, greasy spoon spots.

two tacoss and rice

I can't tell you how many times we pass Jonesy's while traveling 60th St, but we finally stopped in after galavanting around the Florence/Ft Calhoun area. Honestly... their food didn't blow air up my skirt. It was, so-so. Thankful they had the "puffy taco" shells, and a non-meat version for some folks who choose not to eat meat but perhaps they taste bomb when you're a few sheets to the wind. I snagged the bean taco, and T tried their beef taco and chicken taco - add a side of rice and beans to share. The refried beans, more than likely from a can (and that's fine), their rice was hard and chewy in some places and had an odd chemical taste (to me, at least. T didn't get the same taste I experienced) to them. More "salsa" (vs chemical) taste was his take away from the rice. Their mild salsa was runny and didn't fair much of a taste. The shredded chicken had a good spice to it, a lot of it. The ground beef was seasoned well, not too many spices, also a TON of it which makes the bottom of the taco soggy, and empties out. Now the FRIED ICE CREAM... 100/10. Finally corn flakes that aren't a hundred years old, stale, and chewy. It had a caramelized, candied coated ball of vanilla. Which sat in a cinnamon sugar dusted bowl of goodness, topped with whipped cream from can. Which in and of itself, is worth going back for!

We have had takeaway tacos from Jonesy's a few times and decided to eat in. Bookguy loves the tacos because they are so stuffed with beef, lettuce, tomatoes, and cheese, that when he finishes his basket of three, the overflow filling is like another taco without the shell. This time he assumed I wanted a bean burrito, and ordered that. I changed it by saying, "This time I'll try an enchilada ". Neither of us specified beans or what size and the server didn't clarify. The enchilada placed in front of me was enormous and seemed to be only beef with a generous coating of cheese and a tasty sauce. My fault for not clarifying bean. I ate it anyway, and it was really good. I especially liked the sauce. Bookguy ate the other half the next day and thought it was salty. We also had a mixed chip basket with guacamole. I would get just flour chips next time because I liked how they paired with the guacamole, which was great. I think the pricing is very good too. I had a margarita, which was maybe just a little light on the tequila, but still refreshing. Next time I will try something vegetarian for sure.

Beef & Chicken Puffy Taco
Kristin M.

These are the most delicious puffy tacos around! I especially liked the beef, and the shell texture is perfectly balanced as light and fluffy with just a bit of crisp, melts in your mouth! Same goes for the chips, and delicious margarita while you wait! Don't skip the Funnel Fries, only downside is you can't eat just one! Very friendly staff!

Chili

This is a place packed full of regulars during lunch. The server was working the whole dining room and knew many people by name. We asked her what to order as newbies and she gave lots of suggestions. The #7 is popular she said, one taco one enchilada. She also mentioned the special was a hot beef sandwich. Kind of funny because I thought it was strictly Mexican dishes. The tacos were awesome. The chili was more of a stew to me. Huge chunks of beef and enough spice to make you sweat a little. The enchiladas were really good. The cheese on top reminded me of something I ate when I was little. They also have a nice little kids menu, complete with chicken fingers and smiley fries. Glad we stopped.

This is usually a great place but yesterday their brown enchilada sauce was too salty and not as flavorful as usual. I tried their tamale for the first time and it was ok. Their chips are awful. And so was the beef taco. Maybe it was just an off day.

A peek inside.

Not very well put together, seems like it was reheated and served again. Chips were stale.

very rude staff. I should have known based on their childish FB posts. Food is about the same as Taco Bell but with less flavor.

We had been suggested this place by a friend and it came highly recommended! I enjoyed that…read moreeverything seemed to be made fresh to order and that it came out pretty quickly. The tacos I had were very warm and very filling, I was able to take some home for lunch the next day. The Cantarita was ok, seemed like it wasn't something that is usually made and it seemed more like it came in a bowl than the typical dish ware. The servers were very friendly and was able to help out when we had questions. The place itself was very well decorated and didn't seem cluttered. They have a lot of metallic art so that was pretty cool.

This last visit they had the entire restaurant decorated for Valentine's Day coming up. But, besides the additional decorations the overall vibe is what you would expect for a Mexican restaurant but more. The service has been friendly and fast! The original Margarita is very good and for the price its about 3 servings. The complementary chips & salsa is great and more of a forgotten service nowadays, but great to see that Alegre is still doing it. The homemade tortilla chips are so good so be careful to not fill up on these before the main entrees. Kendra got the Chile Verde which was massive and was enough food for leftovers the next day. And, I had the Ceviche Sampler which is new and definitely worth every penny! It's hard to find restaurants that have ceviche on the menu, but this has been one of my favorites if you love seafood and a repeater for me! If your looking for more of an upscale $$ Mexican restaurant with great food, service and ambiance it's hard to beat El Muchacho Alegre.

Came here on a very busy Saturday night and were still able to get seated without a reservation…read more(though I highly recommend making one ahead of time). This was probably our third visit, and we absolutely love this place. Easily one of our favorite restaurants in Omaha. They had their holiday pop-up theme, Christmas in Cancun, and I loved how the entire place was decorated. It was so festive and fun. Our server was also very kind and attentive, even with how busy it was. I started the night with a drink from their holiday menu, the Passion in Paradise strong but delicious. My husband and I shared the chips & queso, and we always add chorizo because it takes it to the next level. I ordered the Bean and Cheese Rolled Tacos, and they were THE BEST. It was my first time trying them, and I'll definitely be ordering them again. The crema on top was my favorite part, and they were perfectly crispy. My husband ordered the Carne Asada Tacos and also tried the Tequila Lime Chicken Taco, both of which he thought were amazing. Fair warning: everything has a little kick of spice. Can't wait to come back again!

Excellent food, we each had a couple of tacos and the drinks were great too. Anything from a basic…read morefish taco to vegan tacos on the menu and everything is a la carte so you can mix and match to your heart's desire. The chips and dips flight was a great appetizer with guac, salsa, and queso to satisfy the whole table's cravings! Immaculate vibes in the heart of Blackstone, it looks, feels, and sounds exactly like a place you'd expect to find in the trendy neighborhood. Their service was good, just be prepared to talk a little louder than you're used to during peak hours, it's busy, tight, and loud for the right reasons.
