Honestly so good, and some of the most unique and authentic options of any place I've been. They have a cute set up for photos and it's so bright and cheery inside! The service was fantastic, and it felt like a true family restaurant. The chips were so good, and the salsa was spicy but not too much for people with sensitive palates. I love this style of chips, not a thin restaurant style but a thicker, more savory bite. We went through one portion before our food got to us and they brought more out when I asked. I highly recommend the tacos. I made a mistake and asked for birria not quesabirria tacos, so make sure to specify that if you want quesabirria (with cheese). But, the birria was good anyways! I also got the taco macho (see the pic for what's inside), and wish I would've ordered 2 of those! My husband got the huitlacoche and squash blossom tacos and they were both so good. I was so impressed they had huitlacoche as an option, I've never seen that before! The drinks were ordered and delivered from the server, but she said since they're working on a liquor license they have a bar next door that makes them. If you order a drink with your food, they charge for the drinks and food separate for that reason. I liked my jalapeño margarita! My husband got a cantarito and said it's the best one he's had from all the places we've tried to far! read more

Wandered into Mexitili spur of the moment because they were open for lunch on Memorial Day and I was in the area. The streetcar boondoggle is not affecting their block so parking is available. Decor is calming. I did not opt for an adult beverage as they were a bit pricey and I needed to retain focus. Settled on chicken enchiladas. Very tasty with some kick. The cheese was drizzled on top rather than baked through. Service was exceptionally friendly, I suspect from the bartender/proprietor. Would definitely return if in the area, but for now I am generally avoiding streetcar construction chaos. If you are downtown anyway, go. read more

Fantastic food. I had the carne asada and it was grilled to perfection. Menu is somewhat limited compared to east coast or Texas restaurants. Pass on the chips, you'll break a tooth! Salsa was awesome. The service was wonderful. One waitress was serving 8 tables and she knocked it out. The dining area was clean and bright. A comfortable place. Highly recommend. read more

Really good Mexican place where the food is great. The place is decorated like a restaurant that you'll find in Mexico, with chairs and tables. The flavors are also very authentic and reminds me of some of the food I had in Mexico. Highly recommend this place a great Mexican spot with great drinks. read more

I really used to love their food truck and went there often. The restaurant has failed to live up to my expectations. This was a third chance and I was disappointed again. I ordered their huitlacoche tacos - my favorite thing there (I also wanted a squash blossom taco but they were out). I was really surprised, and not in a good way, that the tacos had shredded iceberg lettuce on them. I don't think I have ever had a taco at a Mexican restaurant with lettuce on it. That's Taco Bell style. It's definitely not the way Mexitli tacos were served before. I don't like the way iceberg lettuce tastes, especially on warm food. It sounds like a little thing, but it literally ruined my lunch. read more

This is my first time in here, and it was amazing! The chips and salsa were very fresh, and the fajitas I had were served, smoking, hot, with excellent flavor! These also came with plenty of food-- a side of rice, beans, and several tortillas. I came in with a group who is used to frequent in other local Mexican shops. We all agreed that this was more authentic, and higher scale than what we are used to! The interior as well as all the food we tried seemed much more authentic. The price point is a little higher to reflect this, but I love the quality here! Our server did a great job as well, we had a group of six and he got everyone's orders correct and was very timely. I would definitely return here, and bring a group again! read more

It was a good meal. Spent way more than I assumed somehow. Portions were hearty. Chips were a bit thick for my preference but came to the table immediately. The aquas frescas were enormous! (40 oz?) and delicious! I was a little bummed though compared to my expectations, overall. read more

I called ahead to check for tables and was welcomed quickly. It's a quaint space with a casual setting. This is authentic Mexican cuisine. I was serviced by Luis who was kind and gave good recommendations. The tortilla chips and tortillas were fresh and guacamole was made to order. I felt like I was eating at a restaurant in Mexico City. We ordered the chilaquiles with red sauce and the chicken and cheese enchiladas with green sauce. Perfect flavor, and fresh ingredients. Order the jamaica and try not to drink it all before your food comes! read more

Incredible service! The guy running the place was so kind and helpful. I loved the cucumber lime water, it had tajin on the rim which made it so tangy. I got the corn mushroom tacos, which didn't have a ton of flavor other than being spicy. I feel I picked the wrong food item and will maybe choose a meat for the tacos next time. But I'm glad I got to try huitlacoche, as very few places offer that. The decor in the restaurant was colorful and festive. Very cute place, I'll be back! read more

The carne asada tacos tasted so delicious. I liked the sweet cucumber lime water--it's especially great to drink during a warm day (this day was cool though, since it was back in February!) The waiter was also super kind and accommodating to us, as we has a few questions here and there about the drinks and menu! The ambiance was inviting since the restaurant played Spanish music, so it gave a great vibe that complemented the lunch and conversations! Parking is limited to metered street spots. read more

The food was really good. I'm from Los Angeles and I think it was super good Mexican food. I added some beans to the torta so it wouldn't be dry which made it 10x better imo. The decor and setup of the restaurant was really cute and was definitely giving the Aztec, Mexican. Music was great too. Service was alright. We weren't welcomed in but the service wasn't too terrible that it'd make me not want to go again. read more

Great restaurant to go. Got me three different tacos and the guac tasted great for the chips. Food was delicious.

A very inviting, clean interior. Staff was very attentive although they seemed short staffed for a Saturday evening with both St Patrick's day revelers and a Broadway show across the street. House margarita was overpriced and the drink menu did not list any prices. Due to the light staffing out meal was delayed. Although the food was excellent the drink issue ($54 for 4 house drinks) and slow service knocked them down from a solid 5 performance. read more

The food and horchata at Mexitili was so good! I tried the chicken enchiladas with the green salsa and I was very impressed! Also some of the better horchata I've had! They give chips and salsa for the table and the salsa has good flavor but it was very thin and the chips were a little stale. I wish they served margaritas!! Service was great and quick. Food also came out very fast! Ambiance was lacking a little but overall good place! read more

I'd rather not come back to this spot. I've been here a few times because I live in the area, and everytime it's so underwhelming. The chips that come out with the salsa are so damn hard, and could be considered lethal weapons. The food has been alright, and so has the service in the past, but today was just a big hell no. I came in, and the two at the front (lady probably in her 30s and an older gentleman that was bald and in his 50s maybe) stood behind the counter, and awkwardly stared at me without saying a word. I waved and said hello and got nothing in return. Strike 1. I told them table for 1, and I was told to sit anywhere. I picked a table, and the gentleman came to bring a menu, but looked at me as if I had no business being there before handing me the menu (description of said look: menu behind the back, walked up behind me and looked at me for 3 seconds before handing the menu over and walking off without a word). Strike 2 This may sound crazy, but I was craving a hot dog, and there's an epidemic in Omaha of not being able to go to a place and get a cheap hot dog besides a DQ or Sonic. Well, this one isn't cheap, but screw it, let's see what it's about. It was supposed to be bacon wrapped, but there's no bacon. When I got the food, I walked up to the counter to tell them that it wasn't bacon wrapped, and they said it's IN THE HOTDOG. It did not taste like it at all. I got to the middle of the hotdog, and noticed there was a tiny sliver of bacon wrapped only in the middle, about 1 inch wide of bacon. STRIKE 3. I paid right at the counter so I could get the fuck out as soon as I was done eating and writing this review. I will come back with Meta glasses and make a proper review of this place so you can all see what I'm talking about across multiple platforms. I haven't felt so unwelcomed in a restaurant in so long (more like 6 months). read more

**5 stars - Amazing authentic Mexican food!** Stopped here while in town for the World Series game and I'm so glad we did. The food was incredible - so authentic it felt like being at a restaurant in Mexico. I'm picky with Mexican food and this tasted just like my mom's cooking. The staff was great and there was even live music while we ate. The margaritas were delicious too! Honestly surprised it wasn't packed because you can't get more authentic than this. Felt more like eating in someone's home kitchen than a restaurant. Will definitely be back next time we're in town if I don't make it to their brunch before heading back to Texas. read more

Stopped into Mexitli on a hot Wednesday afternoon for lunch. The interior is well decorated. My only gripe is that the plastic covering the tables was sticking to my sweaty legs. The woman who took my order was kind. They have a variety of sodas available including Mexican varieties. I stuck with a Diet Coke and ordered the hot dog plate. They served up chips and salsa. The salsa here had a nice spicy level. I think I would have enjoyed it more if it wasn't as hot outside and if I had more than just a bottled soda. Either way, the chips by themselves were great too. It wasn't long before my entrée showed up. It was a beautiful plate with the hot dog as the main work of art. It was loaded, bacon-wrapped, and bursting with toppings: cilantro, jalapenos, ketchup, mustard, chipotle mayo, and maybe more. There was a side of salsa on the plate as well. The hot dog was delicious. The flavors melded perfectly. The main disappointment was the fries. They look hand cut which I loved but they were WILDLY undercooked. Just floppy soggy pieces of potato. It was sad. They were the only bad thing about the whole experience. That being said, I'd definitely recommend others to visit Mextili. I definitely want to go back and try their other offerings. read more

This family run restaurant is small but superb! The ambiance is causal but pleasant, not a lot of tables but clean and attractive, with excellent service. Our server was the niece of the owner, and she was happy to offer menu suggestions and answer questions. The food was the real star! My husband ordered two of the Birria Tacos con Queso. They were a bit greasy, but had terrific flavors. I ordered two of the Carne Asada Tacos, and they were excellent! My youngest daughter very much enjoyed the Kid's Quesadilla, to which we had chicken added. The chicken was surprisingly flavorful; one of the best quesadilla's we have found on a kid's menu! We added a side of beans and rice to even out the meal, which was a nice addition. The food was great! After our meal we crossed through to next door where they have crepes and waffles for dessert. Both are run by the same family, so you can have your dessert delivered to your restaurant table, if you like. This was a real treat for a casual dinner out on a Saturday evening. The food came out fast but was clearly made to order. I would recommend dining here, and will happily return! read more

Fresh ingredients, super friendly service and good portions. Everything a growing boy needs! The complimentary chips and salsa were excellent! The Macho Taco had a whole grilled jalapeño in it, which was a bit hotter than I preferred. But very flavorful. Birria tacos were spot on. And the horchata was worthy of taking a bath in. Will be back! read more

I'm not sure why I waited so long to try this spot. This is delicious, authentic Mexican food. The sopes were fantastic and the toppings were stacked. I got the steak and the chicken, and I would recommend both. My favorite item was the birria taco. Birria can be hit or miss for me, but this was spot on. The fried tortilla was absolutely incredible. I would definitely consider the birria quesadillas for my next visit. read more

The food and service was great!!! When you sit down to the table you will have chips and beans as opposed to chips and salsa. The chips and beans were banging! A group of us decided to dine in and We all tried something different but my hubby had the enchiladas and I had the milanesa! My dish was super tasty and breading on the chicken was crispy in all the right ways. I had the corn tortillas on the side and they were excellent. I had agua de jamaica and my hubby had the horchata. Both drinks tasted so good you didn't want to put them down! The enchiladas reminded my husband of home (Mexico) and their flavor was incredible. There were some small snafoos I accidentally got (and ate) my friends order of a taco de macho. (It was crazy good by the way.) I also found their chicarrón to be a little too dry for my taste. Overall, this is a fantastic new brick and mortar spot as they had a food truck previously. We will definitely be back! I want to try more items on their menu! read more

This is a sweet and cozy restaurant thoughtfully decorated with plenty of colorful pieces of Mexican artworks and crafts. Service is quick and pleasant. Blue corn and yellow corn tortilla chips are homemade, crisp, and flavorful, served with a fresh and delicious red salsa. I stopped in early on a cold December morning, ordering the huevos rancheros and the cucumber-lime agua fresca. The huevos rancheros were served on two crunchy tostadas, eggs over easy, covered with a warm salsa roja. They are the best huevos rancheros I've had since Mexico. I suggest trying their agua fresca, which is served in a large glass jar, the rim coated with Tajín. They play old school Mexican mariachi music. In my opinion, this is easily the best Mexican food in the Big O. read more

Really solid Mexican food that I thought was authentic. I love Mexican food, and have had it in California, Texas, New Mexico, and all the places near the border, and I thought the Mexican food here was delicious. I got the sopes, which was recommended by the waitress. The sopes were great, and I got three different kinds of protein. The chorizo, the pork with nopal, and the asada. I would definitely eat here again. read more

A little sleeper downtown Omaha, we found this on Yelp passing through. I had red chicken enchiladas and my wife had green, both were excellent. But the real standout is the guacamole - wow!

Liked the homemade tortillas, but meal was just ok. Asada was tough. Cozy little place but not really wowed by the food or atmosphere.

Authentic Mexican food. It's not Tex-mex. Get the enchiladas or the birria! Really good food west of the Old Market.
